US has ruled these cartoons protected, though that's not to say we don't have our share of puritans shouting for censorship of almost anything you can imagine. We're lucky enough that there's a constitutional amendment they have to work around, though, for what that's still worth anyway.
Not sure which US you live in, but here in the US I'm a citizen of, the government has unfettered access to communications, digital and otherwise. The patriot act took the last of American privacy, and with a hearty chuckle, wiped its ass with the remainder of the fourth amendment.
How long did it take us to go from steam engines to 64 bit processors? Of course technology is going to continue to advance in ways that people today may consider impossible. To think that this will never have any viable application (assuming we don't nuke ourselves off the planet first) is asinine.

Stupid indeed. It would be funny if it weren't so illustrative of bogus IP action that takes place every day. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Wait for ACTA.
someone points out that Flash is insecure as hell, and that the iPhone market share is significantly larger than the Mac OS X market share. I don't want that garbage on my PC, and I sure as hell wouldn't want it installed to my iPhone without my knowledge because some asshole iPhone dev doesn't know how to do real programming.
Yeah, but the Executive branch has done a lot to skirt the system of checks and balances that keep it at 1/3. You'll be worth talking to when you realize that the constitution is, unfortunately, no longer relevant in modern American politics.

I never said that they're out to get me. I think you should re-read my posts, and try responding without putting words in my mouth.
It may be hard for you to comprehend, but some people aren't as eager as others to give up rights for a warm fuzzy sense of safety.
I'm sure they're being very responsible with all the data they can secretly seize and nobody can ever question them about.
Is that the one where the supreme court didn't rule that violations of the fourth amendment are okay as long as they're really, really important?
Trusting any government is a bad idea.
Drill, baby, drill.

It has repeatedly been prosecuted by sodomy laws in American history.
We're too busy forking over freedoms by the truckload to fight various bogeymen you insensitive clod!
Missing the point entirely.
If you suggest Taco Bell, you're alienating yourself.
This 100X. Wish I had mod points for you.

I've said that about apple for a long time.
Software freedom involves a lack of proprietary, closed garbage.
"Often, the reason the macs get hacked first is that the researcher wants a new mac." Ludicrous.
Should add that said skirting is a bipartisan phenomenon.
