This has got to be one of the stupidest moves they could make. Make and repeal all the laws you want, but there's no getting around the fact that there are some people that just hate gays. The Don't Ask Don't Tell policy wasn't about discrimination by their superiors, it was about discrimination by their peers. You're not allowed to ask someone if they're gay, and you're not allowed to tell someone if you're gay, and if you do either you will be met with disciplinary action. That was to prevent being discriminated against by the people you work with in the potentially-life-endangering industry of violence and death that is the military.
There are also people in the military that hate females serving in the military. The military tells them to shut up and learn to be more accepting and caring while killing the rest of us with POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) and EO (Equal Opportunity) training sessions. The people that violate this are subject to UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice) action. In the case of hatred of homosexuals, the guidelines established in EO and POSH can apply just as well, so there is no real reason for Don't Ask Don't Tell to exist.
You can encrypt the text of your response where only gmail see's who sent it, or use any one of the many throwaway email services that will let you make an email account that only lasts for 24 hours. look into PGP, throwaway email addresses, and also just look at the text. If you say "Yes grandma I will be at the family reunion." or
"Yes we will close the Jefferson Deal" what information does google have on you? That you expect to go to A family reunion out of the estimated thousands of them every day? Or that they somehow magically know what the Jefferson deal is about? All they can do is parse the text, and keep an internal record link to the email address that sent it. Just email them explaining you don't like unencrypted text over email (cause all public email will be parsed for keywords, how do you think yahoo and AOL make their money?). Then encrypt it and let them unencrypt it on their machine where google gets nothing.
Stop blaming their system for your lack of effort.
I've ridden with people who text while driving. I will never do it again. Last time someone did it, I ripped the phone from their hands and told them they get it back when they stop. They stopped and kicked me out, then got in a wreck a few miles down the road. So please, do continue to text while driving thinking you have everything under control and you don't need to give driving your full attention. Your time will come, and I just hope you don't hurt others in the process though you most likely will.
The W3C tries to make the web standard easily accessible to everyone, whether they are running Linux, windows, BSD, OSX or another operating system. They also try to make it where the standards can be implemented on any browser.
By adopting a standard video and audio codec, browsers can support these 'out of the box' and users won't have to download codecs to view videos or hear a pod cast. It is still up to the website designers if they want to follow the standards, so they aren't telling you to do anything. Instead they are trying to make it where your choices don't impede your access to the web.
