"and if they later receive an NSL, they remove the statement, thus communicating that event to the public without violating any laws."

all very well until the gag warrant is worded to prevent you from removing the statement...

with any sense it would include it's own UPS to allow it to successfully write out to the discs all the pending writes and then spin down...

it isn't going to get much information with me running it in DOSBox on Linux...

I've gone and done it again...

"The trouble is that while renewable power sources like wind and solar cost nothing to run, once installed,"

bollocks... they require servicing and checking they're still putting out the correct frequency etc.

it's browsing history held in the ISP, not on your PC... that means anything accessed from your IP address will be available... the only way to do any private browsing now will be via a proxy or using a wifi access point away from your house. and what's the bets that use of a proxy is deemed to be suspicious?
