I've been with AT&T for a long time, bought the Galaxy S (Captivate) relatively not too long ago. Was perfect when I bought it, did everything I wanted it to do, especially tethering, one of the big reasons I bought it.
A couple weeks down the line, 2.1-update1 rolls out, disables my tethering abilities. I called AT&T, Samsung, talked with an in-store rep, and called AT&T again. Samsung says it's not their problem, AT&T pushed the update. The In-store rep and the person I talked to on the AT&T phonecall both agreed that I needed to use third-party software to continue tethering. They were pretty much ENCOURAGING ME TO ROOT MY PHONE. The solution I found was to use a third-party tethering app which I had to remove the AT&T sim card in order for it to show in the marketplace, install, then reinsert the sim card.
Still waiting for that 2.2 update that I was promised when I bought the phone.
Starting to look more and more like I should just return the phone, drop AT&T, and move to another Galaxy S carrier.
Flying is a privilege, not a right. If you concerned about your freedoms and privacy, then drive or take the train instead of flying. It's not like you don't have options.
I for one am happy they are taking a more proactive roll in screening passengers on flights. It's also MY RIGHT to feel some assurance that the guy sitting next to me isn't planning on hijacking the plane.
Troll much? >:D
Flying is required for some people. It's not fun and time consuming taking a train from Boston to San Fransisco, and how else are people supossed to get from NYC to Tokyo... Take a cruise?
The point is these machines do not effectively protect you, they are there to give you the illusion that you are being protected. There are much better (and more effective) ways of doing it. The point of this suspension is because these machines are capturing and storing images of people's exposed bodies. Think of it as some TSA employee who is a college student, copies some of these images and puts them online? Wouldn't be much different than a stranger taking pictures of you in the shower and putting them online too. These machines are also ineffective, they do not show everything that you could conceal.
"Some observers are hoping the Obama Administration will use the workshop to issue a deadline or all federal agencies to support IPv6 on their public-facing Web sites."
Wait, didn't we try this before?

Ah, I thought I was the only one wondering about that for a bit...
I was thinking more like this http://ipv6.com/articles/general/US_Government_IPv6.htm June 30, 2008
