But don't you know that BP is evil, therefore everything they do is the worst possible that we can imagine. There's no way it could be for any practical, useful purpose, no way at all! Corps are evil, except when they make products I find useful.
I think of it like changes to software; if their current policies aren't generating evidence of problems, why screw around with them? The changes might make them worse and cause more problems.
Why don't they start suing ISPs next, as they record various data about every single packet you send! It's erased at some future point, but it's recorded for some period of time in the various buffers of the routers and switches along the way. Google is erasing this data now, which means it was also temporary. Hell, in Google's case this data was collected from signals in the air, whereas the ISP is tapped into your physical connection!
And if you're sending a truck around recording things you pick up over the air, why not just record it all, in case you later realize there's something else useful and privacy-preserving you could extract, so you don't have to drive around again?
When travelling to Australia, remember to use drive-level encryption and turn off my laptop before passing through customs. I could also keep a LiveCD in the CD drive to keep customs happy since they'll have something to search.

Put down its BIOS! That's basically a mini-OS it uses to boot off whatever storage device is present. And it sucks, too. Hardly does anything. Probably can't even do any networking.
Because I have property rights in the effects of actions people take with their own property, dammit! Otherwise I'd just have to sit here while other people affected the world, and not be able to force them to do anything I say.
It makes sense to avoid using the same area of the hard disk for each copy, because you'd otherwise wear it out quickly. So you use different areas for temporary storage each copy. But this leaves a history of the last N copies. So in secure mode, you could just encrypt the temporary file with a key generated on-the-fly and only kept in memory. Once you're done, you erase the key, leaving the files inaccessible. Just be sure you aren't the owner of the copy machine, or else you could get arrested for having encrypted files that you claim to have no key for.
Of course he's a terrorist! He was trying to get the location of the secret U.S. base where they are keeping the alien anti-matter weapons technology they recovered from crashed UFOs, so he could use it in an attack on the US. It's a big cover-up.
The monkeys would also have to experience the cellphone radiation in a similar way that humans would. The radiation would have to be emitted as if a cellphone were pressed up against their ear, and it would have to be intermittent as to simulate a human taking calls throughout the day.
Or you could just test the equivalent of a cellphone at maximum transmit power 24 hours a day. If this shows no ill health effects, then you can assume that a phone cannot either. If this does show effects, then you do further testing.

And Mac OS X isn't an application, either, so he's doubly wrong. (BTW, your subject line is uninformative)
...why does this posting have such a useless subject line? Was it so hard to use something like '"Non-lethal" weapons lower barrier to use'?
I still prefer double rot13. I know it may technically be the same (the math is too complex for me to follow), but I feel safer with it.

...pos6ts where almost every sentence is in its own paragraph. Seriously, learn to use paragraphs, people!
I'd mod your post up if it weren't already at +5. Well done!

I know of a shorter video of Ballmer which sums things up nicely. I can't find the link at the moment though.

Bullshit, eh? I'd hate to drink some of the "milk" from this dairy farm.
Finally, an explanation as to why my browser history is always empty. It's being stolen by someone! I wonder if I can have it returned.
Your post would be more readable if you used fewer paragraphs. As it is, almost every sentence has its own.

They talk of digital DNA as if that's in contrast to biological DNA being analog or something, but DNA is digital, represented in quaternary (base 4).
The beginning of this was covered, I believe. Now the data are in and they can draw definite conclusions.

You say it like it's a bad thing.
Yes, but how long until this patience wears thin?
