Once daily is more than good enough to identify which mountaintops are harboring Al Qaeda terrorists in caves, but that wasn't exactly the technology intended for enhanced satellite surveillance. The thread had digressed away from tech issues and the point of that link was to see if the idle banterer was interested in _anything_ that had to do with science or technology. In sharp contrast you seemed to be capable of at least focusing and commenting on the original idea. The concept shouldn't be too difficult to understand. Medicine has been enhancing tumors and whatnot on CAT scans with iodine for some time. Bret Cahill

That 'link' was to a laser distance measuring system for machine tools, jackass. > In sharp contrast you seemed to be capable of at least focusing and > commenting on the original idea. > > The concept shouldn't be too difficult to understand.
