Laptops don't use internal pppoe, verizon is generally an external DSL modem with dhcp.
I don't remember if the account creator is windows only but I believe is is. It works fine on Linux afterwards though.

You forgot the scrap & museum computers. I've got an old powermac, an Amiga 500, a VIC-20, and three shells of computers too.

1. That plan took what was a free, independent state and began carving it up for no reason at all, the Palestinians hadn't run the holocaust.
2. Israel didn't accept the plan either and began carrying out offesive operations in the no man's land.

The Jewish militias continued to make plans for the construction of airfields and carried-out offensive operations, like the one against Deir Yassin, within the area of the proposed UN trusteeship (the Corpus Separatum)

Shorty after that Israel went to war and began expanding beyond any specified boundaries, pushing the palestineans into refugee camps etc.

I fully echo your sentiment.
It should be noted though, that Arabic cultures are semeitc too. Sadly, the term seems to have been appropriated by Zionists to label all their enemies as nazis in accordance with Godwin's law.
Since you are supporting the basic human rights of the Arabs you are semetic and can't be an anti-semite.
Maybe you could join an anti-treating people like shit organization, I'll join too.

As current events are showing us, they are rather more efficient at it.
With less than 5 dead Israelis? I think you are mistaken. 5 does not even come close to the 500+ death toll for Palestinians in this conflict.
You Sir, are spewing a staggering quantity of BS.

BTW, the Israeli assault has resulted in the deaths of 107 children.
I fail to understand how anyone can rationalize such atrocities. The Isreali's have bomb shelters and warning systems in place so deaths are rare. The Gazans have no such shelter and so whole families get killed by American made, Israeli operated warplanes.

You're making quite a few assumptions about the nation/government we're dealing with here.

Submission + - SPAM: Behind the scenes of Internet2
alphadogg writes: Chris Robb, the new guy in charge of overseeing the 100G Internet2 network that serves thousands of education and research outfits across the U.S., talks about IPv6, talks about what it takes to manage a hybrid optical and IP network. Supporting a dynamic circuit switching network, multicast and IPv6 are among his top challenges. "The beauty of running a research network is that we are pioneering techniques with our collaborators worldwide and believe these methodologies will help inform commercial Internet providers in the future as they adopt similar technologies and architectures," Robb says.

French Police Ditching Windows for Linux 122
esocid writes "In another European blow to Microsoft the French paramilitary police force said Wednesday it is ditching Microsoft for the free Linux operating system, becoming one of the biggest administrations in the world to make the break. The gendarmerie began severing its ties with Microsoft in 2005 when it moved to open source office applications like word processing. It switched to open source Internet browsers in 2006."
Researchers Reference Flocking Birds to Improve Swarmbots 62
inghamb87 writes "Scientists have studied flocks of starlings and cracked the mystery behind the birds' ability to fly in large formations, and regroup quickly after attacks, without getting confused and ramming into each other. While the information is cool, some scientists seem to think that the best use of this knowledge is not to aid our appreciation of nature, but to make more effective robot swarms. We've talked about swarming robots many times before, but usually researchers look to insects for inspiration."
Valve Takes on Piracy With Free, Pre-Packaged Game Publishing Tools 190
Heartless Gamer writes "Valve is rocking the boat in a big way, especially for PC gaming piracy. They have just announced the release of a complete collection of publisher tools, called Steamworks. They're making it available to developers and publishers completely free. Valve notes that beyond simply making the product available to consumers some of the tools can integrate copy protection, social networking services, or even server browsing features into a developing game."
E-Voting Undermines Public Confidence In Elections 155
Jeremiah Cornelius writes "Techdirt columnist, Timothy Lee, hit the metaphoric nail on the head, claiming that e-Voting undermines the public perception of election fairness - even when there is no evidence of wrongdoing. 'In a well-designed voting system, voters shouldn't have to take anyone's actions on faith. The entire process should be simple and transparent, so that anyone can observe it and verify that it was carried out correctly. The complexity and opacity of e-voting machines makes effective public scrutiny impossible, and so it's a bad idea even in the absence of specific evidence of wrongdoing.' Add to this the possibility technical faults, conflicts of interest and evidence of tampering, how long before the US vote is viewed as an electronic pantomime?"
RIAA Wants $1.5 Million Per CD Copied 408
I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "Not content with current statutory damages, the RIAA is pushing for higher damages for infringement, damages that would total $1.5 million for copying a CD with ten songs. It's all part of debate over the proposed PRO-IP Act. William Patry, a lawyer who wrote the seminal seven-volume reference on US copyright law, called it the most 'outrageously gluttonous IP bill ever introduced in the US.'"
Long Term Effects of Gizmodo CES Prank 426
theodp noted that someone from Gizmodo brought a TV-B-Gone to CES and used it to turn off a wall of monitors during demos. Funny yes, it earned him a ban for life and may have repercussions to other bloggers struggling to be treated as equals with traditional journalists in the future. But also this might lead to a future with encryption on remotes.
