    Blame slashdot for having to LOAD SHIT, EVEN WHEN TRYING TO CLOSE OUT A WINDOW.

    Seriously, when I click the X on my slashdot tab, I don't want to see "Loading... Please Wait..." I WANT MY FUCKING TAB TO CLOSE IMMEDIATELY.

    Yes, let's see the government try arresting ALL of Anonymous without a shred of evidence. Watch how many government officials and innocent citizens start dying, and watch the civil war begin.

    Constantly frequency-hopping is going to limit your bandwidth in the case of digital transmissions (though admittedly voice needs jack for bandwidth.)

    Directional transmission might be a pain but the problem with that would mean you've got multiple receiving stations (much easier to triangulate) or you need to know your roaming target to keep it going reliably.

    Still isn't too difficult armed with a few tools, and a laptop-based wide-band spectrum analyzer card.

    Yea, no, considering the shape of the device, despite that being a natural place for it, I don't want it. I want full tactile feedback. I would rather have a slightly thicker device loaded with more memory slots.

    "And if the person doesn't want to be found, they can make it extremely difficult to pin down."

    Not any longer. You start with a sensitive radio that picks up the signal from afar, and you switch to far less sensitive devices until even a REALLY strong signal can't be picked up/won't register until you're on top of it. Several layers of shielding around your detection device can help with this.

    That's how I've been tracking down various stray signals that occasionally make it into my house - baby monitors, over-powered wireless routers (modified past allowable TX spec,) unencrypted wireless, non-licensed GMRS operators, etc.

    Makes for good practice in observing radio traffic and separating out the layers.

    Lasers and my current field of profession (optoelectronic horticulture) are very closely related. Many of the same issues present with laser diodes are present in diodes used for horticulture.

    I don't think we'll be able to stabilize it using simpler methods until we change the direct composition of diodes themselves. Graphene might be a potential given how strong and durable it is.
