Now, if you're happy using the binary blob GPU driver to play movies from a USB drive
Please learn the difference between firmware and drivers.
Even very trivial computer hardware has some sort of microprocessor doing something in it, most likely with propriatary code. Your mouse has one. Some more complex hardware, especially GPUs, does not store it's own firmware, instead having the driver load it from the system's persistant storage at startup.
Claiming that a driver that can send the manufacturer's firmware blob to a chip is a closed driver is like claiming that the USB HID driver for linux is closed because you don't have the designs for the Logitech chip at the other end of the USB link.
It's pretty clear that Guarasil kills people,
No it isn't, and your source kind of sucks.
"I know it was the Gardasil," Tarsell said, although the official cause of death was undetermined.
This reads like the autism fraud news stories.
Here is the CDC's page on the whole issue. Excerpt (my emphasis):
Concerns have been raised about reports of deaths occurring in individuals after receiving Gardasil. As of June 30, 2008, 20 deaths had been reported to VAERS. There was not a common pattern to the deaths that would suggest they were caused by the vaccine. In cases where autopsy, death certificate and medical records were available, the cause of death was explained by factors other than the vaccine.
People get vaccinated and die. People brush their teeth and die too. Statistics.
