Trouble is that especially in lower-populated areas multiple cities' trash goes into one landfill. Arguably it should be at least a state-level decision.
At this point nobody's saying there should be a federal mandate/anyway/, and with the Republicans doubling down on "LA LA LA YOU'RE NOT A RICH DONOR I CAN'T HEAR YOU" it's not likely to get anywhere in Congress.
There's a difference between your implied OMG RADIATION!!11 and directed pulses that are proven to be less harmful to the patient than to the patient's cancer.
Yeah, doesn't look to me like they released any of the proprietary stuff that makes it a Kindle. It's not surprising, really. GPL doesn't require it, and this is what makes their software what it is, so from their perspective there's no reason to do so.
Still, as has been pointed out, ideally this is all you'll need to write your own custom OS for Kindles.
As to your suggestion: no. I'm not going to play the "my favorite environment is better than yours" game, especially if you're going to artificially constrain it to give yourself some kind of advantage.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I can't get gnome-shell to load in a Virtualbox VM. Got 3D accel enabled, got the 125MB of post-release updates applied, installed the latest Virtualbox guest additions, but if I try to load default Gnome it will load up the fallback mode that's like classic Gnome 2 but not.
MATE loads up OK, but I'm really more interested in the new hybrid interface.

That's part of living in society, dipshit. Or are you under the impression that your right to swing your fist doesn't end at my nose?
So grandparent post is wrong and organic stuff /does/ break down, just more slowly than if it were left on the surface.
You must be a libertarian: you're a selfish twat.
state-worship
You should have put that at the beginning of your post so that we could know there's no reason to take you seriously.
Then it's going into our atmo that we breathe and we should be able to regulate that.
The trouble with libertarians is that the average one is a selfish twat.

RON PAUL.
Your argument is thus nullified.
Where does the methane come from, then?
Ayup. "Should not killing your neighbors be mandatory?"
"Should not putting rats and rotting meat into hamburger that you're selling the unsuspecting public be mandatory?"
Life is too complicated to put into a saying that is simple, short, and wrong, for all that the simplicity attracts imbeciles.
...or your weapons-grade stupidity?

Not to mention the ethical problems with subjecting people to this stuff.
"Most" people have no idea that Dell preinstalled Java 1.5 update 6 with their laptop and have never bothered updating.
It's not /me/ I'm worried about here, it's the legions of lusers who have no idea they're part of a botnet.
And my point is that simply by having the JRE installed and not keeping it up-to-date you're making the computer more vulnerable to outside attack.
It would be less of a problem if the JRE updater sucked less, though at least they're not leaving every single old version installed anymore.
I think you're reading it wrong. The code drop looks to be enough to get the /operating system/, but not the Kindle /application/.
If we did a naive reading of the GPL as you did, then it wouldn't be possible to run proprietary software without released source code on Linux.

But then we might have to pay taxes, and government is inherently evil and taxes are socialist.

...instead, you have to update the JRE about that often because of sloppy programming leading to arbitrary remote code execution vulnerabilities.
The JRE is currently the #1 malware vector, even above Flash and Acrobat.
Except when it's not. What's more chaotic than something which can also be orderly whenever the hell it feels like it?
Got it working. Had to give it a whole gob of virtualized video memory - 32MB doesn't do it.

Certainly true. You get diminishing returns once you've got enough money to cover the basics and a hobby or two, though.
