A White House update to the policy is said to emphasize cooperation with the international community and looks to be a move away from individual nations competing in space
In other words, the US has realized it is broke and now wants the rest of the world to foot the bill for space exploration.
Unless they somehow allow the 900/1800/2100 MHz bands to be used with the existing international standards, new frequencies will just lead to more market/tech fragmentation.
Laptops (and other devices) should be limited to phyiscal search. It is completely reasonable to search a laptop or a cellphone in order to verify that the laptop's battery compartment does not contain a bomb, or that a cellphone is not a dummy phone hollowed out to contain a package of heroin. It is NOT reasonable to go digging inside the filesystem of the laptop looking for porn, pirated software, movies, etc. just as it is NOT reasonable to check the cellphone's address book for "known criminal contacts".
Meatspace analogy. Let's say you're crossing the border with a thick notebook in your hand. It is reasonable to perform a physical search of the book (flippping through the pages, turning it upside down) in order to verify that the book isn't hollowed out to hold a firearm or that there isn't a packet of heroin hidden between the pages. It is NOT reasonable to go through the book reading every page.
Instead of fixing our own country, we keep trying to "fix" the rest of the world (sometimes with bombs), thinking that if we succeed, we won't have to change anything about ourselves. That's what Americans want to believe, but it's shockingly naive.
You can still use.mobileconfig files on the latest 3.1.3. Just use the iPhone Enterprise Configuration Utility (official download from Apple site). I used it to change APNs in order to get PPTP VPN working.

Mod parent down. Link is a troll (goatse).
I'm surprisd "Anything that AT&T doesn't like" isn't on the list.
For some reason when I read the title I immediately thought of: http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Gekko
You mean like the reception/antenna shorting issues with the iPhone 4?
Is Bruce Scheiner's blog on the blocked list?

#1 should read: Provide any functionality that bypasses bullshit carrier (AT&T) charges such as tethering, VPN, etc.
