looking on google some people have reported success with 3g/4g USB dongles (mobile internet) bit not with a dial-up phone modem. If you have one to try it might work, but it is so unusual now that there is a big chance drivers won't be included.
Several people suggested Chromebooks. I can understand why, they are easy and locked down. But, as far as I know, a Chromebook cannot do dialup, which, as the original post says, is a requirement. So, unless your Chromebook is very different from mine, that's not such good advice.
They could use either a wireless or Ethernet (most models) dial-up router/modem
[...] They once had a brilliant young developer who wrote more in three months than their team did in years, before being sacked for delivering code with a bug that caused an outage. [...]
Please tell me this is an exaggeration. Show me a single developer who hasn't caused an issue of some sorts, in production, and I'll show you a developer that hasn't fully matured yet.
Only slight. He had been given warnings for later delivery previously, and rather than actually being sacked he was told that if he chose to stay he would be held over for pay increases or promotions for two years. And that was a time when two years pay increase would have made a big difference
As a software house we were called in many times as a scapegoat, a game we all knew. A project would not be working and have no hope of delivering, so we would be called in. We would then give an estimate for remaining time and be severely berated for it not matching the timescale, but they'd agree to pay for it to be done. We would take full responsibility and the managers would not seem to see anything strange about us having been working on a project for a week (estimating) and in that time got behind by three months. That way nobody was sacked.
The company programmers themselves did hardly any work. They once had a brilliant young developer who wrote more in three months than their team did in years, before being sacked for delivering code with a bug that caused an outage. The people who survived spent more time covering themselves in case something went wrong tan doing work. For example, I once had a call from a guy who asked "how do you send a block of data to a certain output device". I told him, and years later I saw some code with a comment "IO as specified and recommended by Chris Q of XXX on 03 March 1998", The whole module was covered with comments like this and by the dates it had taken almost a three weeks for this guy to write a program o read a file, and send it in blocks with a maximum length of 256 bytes to an output device with a "continue" flag set for all but the last block. The guy is now in their IT management
I always warned people never to work for that company!
Yay for Godwin's Law! Let's compare a religion to Nazis! And judge everyone who practices that religion for the actions of extremist believers!
I wonder what the percentage of Muslims who practice their religion and don't bother people is compared to the percentage of Muslims part of extremist groups?
Also, are there other religions where there are extremist groups? Hm...Christianity....Westboro Baptist Church sound familiar? Hm, all Christians hate gays etc etc.
The Westboro baptists are much better than Islam in many ways. How many people have they beheaded? How many sex slaves have they taken? How many bombs have they set off, or planes flown into buildings? Also where are the hundreds of Christians from Britain, France, Denmark, Australia and other countries leaving their countries to join the Westboro baptists and lay down their life?
Or maybe reducing the entire world to the single dimension of religion is not a terribly useful way to understand "terrorism"
When the religion commands acts of terror, and many of the followers commit acts of terror then maybe it is. You might as well say "the single dimension of nazziism is not terribly useful in understanding Germany's terrorist acts against the jews in WW2"
In 1994 there were 23,730 homicides in the USA source.
Isis are responsible for way more than 23,730 deaths source.
Read in to that what you like:)
In 1994 the US population was 263 million. (1.6billion / 263 million) * 23730 = 144365, almost bang on middle of the estimate range in the Wikipedia article you linked.
But you're using the world's Muslim population for the crimes of ISIS but only the US population for the crimes of the USA. A more realistic figure would be the number of Islamic state (100,000) rather than the whole muslim population, or inlcude all murders by Muslims anywhere in the world.
Only and idiot uses an apostrophe to make a verb plural.
Since we seem to be doing Grammar Nazism, only an idiot would confuse the present indicative for a plural.
Now what's the law that says that anyone correcting grammar is bound to make a grammatical error when doing so? I wait nervously for someone to point one out!
Absolutely right and well said. Docker is about deploying tons of trusted containers on a server. It doesn't have a security layer. If you want fewer less secure containers you want virtualization.
"Basically, we want to put in as many security barriers to break out as possible. If a privileged process can break out of one containment tool, we want to block them with the next. With Docker, we are want to take advantage of as many security components of Linux as possible.
Take this to the ultimate conclusion and you have just reinvented virtualisation.
not to mention the packet inspections along the way
And don't mention "man in the middle attacks". Jane Squires never looked at me in the same way again since someone changed "... are fantastic" to ".. have big wobbly tits".

Don't listen to Wanxiang, they're probably just jerking us off.

Show me another MILF with an IQ of 80 who has inculcated herself as one of the highest paid cheerleaders of all time.
That's amazing.
It's also depressing, but you didn't ask about that.
This is an Apple thread, The fanbois would be more interested in FILF

There are a lot of Muslims in Australia, and it makes sense to keep an eye on them as a lot of them support terrorism
Do you think the number one is unlucky, or something?
One does ... oh wait!
My conclusion is that Canada sucks as bad as the USSR.
Its a close call. Invading the Ukraine vs those stupid "Mountie" uniforms.
What the fuck is the summary trying to say?
I wonder how much Enea paid to get this badly written advertisement.
I think a slashdot article is probably worth about a quarter of a Wikipedia page
Why should we do it for you?
It's up to shills like you to emphasize these supposed benefits.
If there are any, your post failed to mention them.
There are plenty of benefits - to the NSA, to businesses that lock people in, etc.

Egyptian Muslims have already called for the destruction of the pyramids and the sphinx, juts like the Buddhas of Bamiyan.

... so that they can enjoy a Guinness while the boats sail themselves
.....and second that they don't offer any sort of non-military functionality.
I don't know, Amazon could have a "priority delivery" drone service....

I think you meant "more secure"!

If they don't change this, I'll give the US legal system a bad review
Does anyone know if its possible to eat a low carb diet as a vegetarian?

China is more concerned about free economics than the US? Weird.
No - both are very interested when it is to their advantage to be so, less interested otherwise
