As a longtime ARRL license holder I was following this project closely and I have to say...what whoever did and whatever they did to do it pretty much accomplished the equivalent of the Streisand Effect on steroids traveling at the speed of light (radio). 'Disappearing' this project virtually guarantees that almost a quarter-million DIY techies that build things like this from what they find in their garage plus a pound of solder just because they are bored and want to 'chew the carpet' about it on the next local repeater Net will do so, and because you can't shut us the hell up even people who don't want to know or care about this will hear about it 16 times. And there will be huge amounts of coax and silicone tape sacrificed to this end.
It can dogfight. It may be expensive as hell and already getting old as tech goes before its even rolled out officially, it may not be able to go toe-to-toe with Su-35 Flanker-Es or F-22 Raptors, PAK-FA or the supposed Chengdu J-20, it may not "technically" have Supercruise ability. But all this is academic...it is designed as a multirole, modular attack fighter: it can put up a fight that is risky for even the best fighter jets to commit to if forced to...and that is all that needs to be accomplished. In it's designed role it will act as an attacker flanked by air superiority badasses which as of right now is technically still the F-22 Raptor (that may not be true theoretically now, but still...). In its role as a piece in the air dominance puzzle it fits, it may not be pretty and getting old on the vine and almost ready to ship to the modern jet boneyard, but saying "it can't dogfight" is a stawman: it can, but isn't designed to be an air superiority jet. Its like saying "The Raptor can't attack infantry columns or submerged subs". Yeah...but it can make sure that other attack platforms in the air that can do that are 100% free to do so in air conditioned comfort.
Yesterday on the John Batchelor Show, the proposal by was for the Spaceguard to be formed as the Coast Guard for space, and for space to be governed by the space-equivalent of Maritime Law, which would fly in the face of current space treaties. The Spaceguard would also become sentinels and eyes out into space, having the funds and decision-making authority and hierarchy, as well as arms, like the USGS defending against asteroids and you-name-it. Until the mission into space becomes primarily for colonization rather than exploration, like the government states in public at least, then it will be regarded as unimportant. Also the fact that our governments are so risk-adverse as to allow for reasonable casualties and the necessary risk to be allowed, by the many who would gladly do so and who did so in the past commonly, is holding expansion into space back.
You should know then that full duplex isn't needed to do what I'm saying, half-duplex or even simplex is fine. At any rate, as you or another AC pointed out above, the dongle isn't the transmitter, its the receiver and signal repository feeding data to a transmitter.
Yeah, I meant sent to the car, not fob. Just Google all this man, if you know enough to bust my balls about me posting like an idiot you know how this works, its just MITM with RF.
I actually haven't done the transmitting part of this equation, but I have done the receiving/filtering part using my own fob...that's why I left that out I guess, but I'm pretty sure the transmitting of a known signal is the least difficult to do of this project. Probably some RF module or even a salvaged laptop soundcard.
The second time the fob transmits, likely within a second of the first, jamming/interception again happens but the first acknowledgement recorded by the dongle is sent back at the fob.
I can confirm how fuck-all simple it is to rig an RTLSDR dongle assembly with a 9-volt battery and a small breadboard to intercept & jam an incoming signal from the actual fob. After the dongle knows the frequency, it is now synced to the proper frequency range and "channels" to cycle through while the legit fob is now "out of sync" since the next time the fob sends a signal it won't be the right one needed to trigger whatever it was supposed to do. Eventually the legit fob will come around to the right signal needed but its hard to say how many times the owner would need to keep hitting the button. All that occurs in the 300 mHz range I think. I'm sure any of the other higher systems' signals are probably in the gHz WiFi range but that would just require the proper antenna since a software defined radio has a wide range and can be calibrated very precisely as to not bleed over the plan's spectral mask delineations.
It looks like Venus might have a frozen core as far as we know, at least from a few minutes of Googling and finding a couple hits mentioning that. -> http://cseligman.com/text/plan...
Since there's no evidence of any plate tectonics whatsoever like Earth, that heat from tidal forces etc. that builds and dissipates any normal magnetic field...? I'm guessing here.
How can the human brain be hypothesized as being inefficient at processing subjective information? Where are the previous experimental data showing a probable inevitable threat in our timeline if we continue being bad at processing the information? What about the fact that humanity still exists in spite of said deficiency? Was that datum used in the forming of this hypothesis? Why is a divisive climate change article posted on Wednesday and not Friday? Why did Radio Shack want your phone number when you bought RCA video cables?

Is Professor Zoom the Facebook CSO now? I can't keep up with all the retcons.
I once was a big Star Wars fan, then I took a these just suck now to the knee.
I didn't see that Mint 17.2 XFCE was released yet.
Again why are they needing to apologize for approving portal locations for historic areas?

I think it was the author of this book: http://www.amazon.com/Safe-Not...
No coins to pay the Ferryman to navigate from the sea to the netherworld.
They're more like guidelines anyway.
Enemies of NATO will just genetically engineer Ewoks.

Politicians are becoming less and less reliable heading into the 2016 election, too. We should do a study.
Someone with cops in their family defending the integrity of cops? It must be true, then.

Ironic warrant canary is ironic.
Luckily I have shitloads of old appliances that I can cut the power cords off of and a bag of wire nuts.
Actually, neither of you are all that "it's my body" at all.
Is 99.7% enough for Hubble mirrors and all that?
