Sounds like an old Orson Scott Card story - scientist testing a drug on rats finds
it wipes memory. Using that they determine how memory is stored and manage to
record it. Now they can upload a rat mind into a different rat. Hey, let's see
if that works for people! A little bit later cloning becomes easy, and now it's
a torture tool - if we record his memory while we kill him and then upload into
a new body, did he really die?

This is cool and everything, but I'd rather Ryan spent the time on whatever it takes to get Linux Unreal 3 published.
Well, duh. Heat rises. Obviously it's going to melt the snow at the top before the bottom.
You can't use QE to transfer information faster than c, either. You can collapse the waveform but you can't control the outcome.
