…Mr. Stamps said that he and his wife had received calls in recent months from strangers who “seemed to be looking for negative stuff” about Mr. Romney…

    Usury!
    Just an excuse to soak ‘em until he evicts ‘em,
    complete with twirling mustache ends and uttering,
    “Nya ah ahhh!”

    It’s gone, ’cause I reckoned, after a bit of reflection, that you were kind’a right about what it looked like.

    On the other hand, very soon your neighbors may be looking at anything you’re doing for the mere price of $300:

    Anybody know if there’s such a thing as a WiFi jammer?

    A directional one would be best.

    Otherwise there’s #6 shot from the iShotgun for the iDrone….
    …. or would #4 be better? Of course at the ranges we’re talking about, even #9 bird loads might suffice.

    RF jamming is not difficult though I’m a fan of lasers. In the directed energy family they don’t need nearly as much power to accomplish a significant result and are visibly much more satisfying. Oh and the distance thing gives light a huge advantage over microwaves. . .

    I think I may have just brought too much attention to myself. .

    ^ (Always happy to get useful info; if pressed I’ll just say I got it from Harry Reid’s source.)

    Sources…. Uhh… maybe the local spyware store?

    Measures and countermeasures?

    Not really an electronics guy myself, but sure like the idea better than shot, especially inside municipal jurisdictions.

    It’s off the subject, but here’s a nice pic I saw over at Pamela Geller’s site:

    If this ain’t a politically incorrect exercise of the 1st amendment, I don’t know what is.

    There’s some other interesting reading over there this week too…

    … though I can’t say any of it is particularly likely to lift the spirits.

    (and there’s no discussion of being chased nekkid by hoards of spiders either)
