HP the Victim of Enterprising Greenpeace Stunt
An anonymous reader writes "Employees at Hewlett-Packard in Palo Alto received a shock this morning as they checked their voicemail and found that each and every one of them had received a message from Captain James T. Kirk, AKA William 'The Shat' Shatner, upbraiding the company for abandoning their plans to remove toxins from its hardware. The organization behind this stunt was Greenpeace, who, to underline their point, scaled the building and painted 'Hazardous Products' on the roof with toxin-free paint."
... would cause more heat. That white roof is designed to reduce the amount of heat produced. When they added black to the roof, it just caused the roof to be inefficient. Looks like greenpeace is trying to increase the amount of carbon produced by air conditioning.
"Terrorist actions?" WTF are you talking about? The term is completely meaningless as it is, but then to apply it to someone painting something on a roof? That is called 'vandalism'. This sort of thinking is well on its way to being the downfall of our society -- people like you have sacrificed more of our freedoms on the altar of safety in the past 8 years than the past 3 generations combined. So, please, give the terrorism thing a rest. The rational world thanks you.
To the haters: You can't win. If you mod me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine
Can't you just hang, draw and quarter them as an expression of traditional American respect for dissenting opinion and tea parties?
