Hmm. I think I could buy it for a summer cottage, if the price is right.
 Also, I'll need the seller to ensure I'll get a internet connection out
there.

Hmmm...  Considering the temperatures there, I don't think you would 
call it a "summer cottage".     ;-)

Then of course, there's the old joke about a group that instead of 
putting a man on the moon, they were going to put a man on the sun. 
When others told them they couldn't do it because of the high 
temperature, they replied that they weren't that silly, they were going 
to do it at night!

Precisly wrong. There's no point travelling to a warm country in the
middle of the summer, while everywhere is too hot. For 3-4 years, every
summer, I've started thinking of travelling somewhere cold. Also Pluto
would be nicely peaceful, I think.

You think the Internet is slow here on Earth?  On Pluto it'll take 9 hours
just to establish a connection!

Unfortunately?  Alteration?  Don't think of it as a change; think of it as a
re-indexing.

That's why it can't be allowed to crash or anything. It has to be stable
and the bits needs to be faster than light.

It is prety peasfull. But there will be some problem with your internet 
connection, namely latency! Something about 10 hours +-20 minutes. 5 hours for 
your request to reach earth, then another 5 for the content to come back to you. 
The variable depend of the relative orbital positions.

You're absolutely right. That's why I haven't made an offer of that
planet yet.
