Couldn't the donors agree to donate more if the PAC spends the already donated money in a certain way?

use something like http://www.unikey.com/ and then you can easily revoke/disable keys

they can probably turn off your Internet connection/power warrantlessy so they don't have to worry about that...

Hopefully it will make some noise if it changes at the next revision of the privacy policy...

Hopefully they will now allow to stream on the local network and the Dropcam company will not disappear and render all these cameras useless...

I missed the icrobotics link that was submitted to HN 508 days ago unfortunately... but at least the link that I posted shows that you don't need any additional hardware to transmit on FM frequencies.

it appears that you can use any frequency (if you use a proper antenna for the chosen freq., you will get better transmitting range)

This doesn't appear to solve the metadata problem which is what the NSA seem to think is the most valuable (or at least that they have the least difficulties to get and process).

You don't need any add-ons to selectively block flash nowadays on Firefox... Menu - Add-ons - Plugins - Flash "Ask to activate" instead of "Always activate"

"... and a big part of the advantage with electric cars is that they use less energy in every step of the process except initial manufacturing."
The most important part for me for electric cars is the simpler power-train system which is less likely to break... which is why i would never buy an hybrid that has both systems.

I've had both carriers on different devices on a recent car trip across eastern USA and Sprint had much better coverage. Hopefully this would help T-Mobile.

For example, if Person_1 from a country besides USA calls an American (Person_2), it makes it ok for the NSA to spy on everyone Person_2 calls (lets call them People_3), and everyone People_3 calls (People_4) and everyone People_4 calls... I assume they follow the same rules for internet traffic so they basically get all internet data even if they are technically not allowed to spy on Americans...

I am not blaming you, but by you commenting here, you make it ok for the NSA to target all Americans who replied to this thread and all Americans that replied to threads that these Americans replied to in the past and all Americans that replied to threads that these Americans replied to in the past (since the NSA use 3 degree of separation rule).

Google usually finds the right one (https://www.google.com/search?q=piratebay)... but of course that could change.
