It was only for personal use and as experiment. I set up a small Linux partition on my hard disk. Then, I did a minimal Linux install, with just the bare minimum + X server and VMWare GSX Server. I set up X to load the VMWare client program full screen on start. Then, I created a virtual machine (Linux in this case) using the un-used partition on my hard drive for drive space. Then, I configured VMWare to start the virtual machine at system start. So, upon logging in and starting X on the host machine, I'd get a VMWare client ready to connect to the booting VM.
It was a clunky solution for a dumb problem, but it worked, and performance wasn't as bad as you'd expect.
If they wanted to use this in a more environmentally friendly way, perhaps they could run biogas through the devices. Upgrade the sewage system and make energy at the same time!:)
I got malaria in Moçambique. I went to the hospital, waited about an hour, and then saw the doctor. He gave me anti-malarial medication, and I gave him 5 metacais (~$0.20). Went home and took my meds for three days, and I got better.
My friend came down with malaria while in the USA. He went to the hospital and waited for 6 hours. He ended up being hospitalized for a week costing over $20,000. While in hospital, he took the same 3 day course of treatment as me, and got better just like me. Was his care 100,000 times better?
Let's pretend, for the sake of argument, that, if Google were to release statistics, those statistic would show some kind of imbalance in workforce based around ethnicity. I can see a few different possibilities for this.
Perhaps Google is racist in hiring. I doubt it.
Perhaps certain ethnic groups are inherently more capable of the kind of things needed to get a job with Google. I doubt this also.
Perhaps our society is structured in such a way that people born into certain ethnic groups are less likely to get the credentials and skills needed to get a job at Google. If this were the case, you'd likely also see disproportionate rates of unemployment, poverty, and incarceration based on ethnicity. Of course, that couldn't be the case. This is America, after all. We're a color-blind, post-racial society. Everyone is equal here.
So, that's what I can see. Since it can't be any of the three hypotheses I've suggested, it must be something else.
And often to remote areas of several speakers to visit my mother tongue. My time to learning for all the world to me. This application can really be deadly for me. I can only look at the data in small villages in Africa, when he began to speak in English and Portuguese damage my phone to imagine. I hope that the address does not require a network connection.
No surprise felt here on the need for money in revolutions. With enough of it, you could create separatist/revolutionary groups even in the USA.
I'm not opposed to people changing their form of government if the result is likely to be a positive one. Unfortunately, the USA hasn't had a stellar track record of backing governmental change that truly benefits all classes of society.
To be honest, though, the actual form of government doesn't concern me too much. I'd gladly trade the right to choose leaders from amongst the top of the upper class every couple of years for an expansive system of social welfare, an excellent health system that serves all people, social equality, and a quality education system open to all.
Without those cell phones and laptops (paid for by the USA), how are people meant to use their training in democracy and civil society (paid for by the USA) to organize spontaneous demonstrations and peaceful non-violent provocations (paid for by the USA) to install a new democratic leader (paid for by the USA)?
Today it's red balloons, in ten years it will be people who are found (for whatever reason) to be socially undesirable. Be sure to thank DARPA, MIT, and all the other entrants when they kick in your front door.
First, I got to navigate in real 3D through the narrow doorway in a JNN shelter out to a generator, where I flipped a couple switches. Then, I got to navigate in real 3D virtual reality back into the shelter to flip a few more switches on the power system. Then, I could see my character in spectacular CGI inserting the CIK into my TACLANE, and using the four button interface to enter the correct static IP and subnet mask from the cut sheet. The special effects when booting the NIPR & SIPR workstations were spectacular! I'm so glad the Army invested in such high-tech 3D virtual world buzz-word compliant training equipment.
Of course, there's still a lot of work to be done. Many important soldier tasks don't use have 3D computer based training aids. I await with baited breathe the release of 3D floor buffing, the first person grass cutting & rock painting simulator, and virtual six-hours-standing-in-a-fucking-formation.
I don't know about the other branches, but the Army is completing the transition to system based around the Joint Network Node and SSSv3 for communications from battalion level up. It's basically Everything-Over-IPv4. There may be some funky connections (ex. to High Capacity Line-of-Sight microwave transmitters), weird comsec, and some stuff for legacy gear, but if you look in the JNN shelter, you'll also see racks of Cisco routers, a couple Juniper firewalls, a Cisco H.323 gateway-- all commercial off-the-shelf gear. That COTS gear is really the heart of the system.
It's actually quite a good system, and I really don't think they're going to want to replace all that any time in the next few years.
I would worry a bit about transitioning to anything more complex than what exists already.
Currently, the training for enlisted soldiers who will be the operator/maintainers of the JNN & SSSv3 is 39 weeks long (up from 25). Even with this length of training, there is a lot to be desired. The General Dynamics trainers at the signal school at Ft. Gordon are retired senior NCO's (>E6), but not one has actually used the JNN in the Army. Their experience is all with the old circuit switched comms gear. Knowledge of basic computer networking is seriously lacking for many. So, the end result is that soldiers spend more time learning the maximum length of a CX-11230 cable, memorizing the location of each jack on the signal entry panels, and mopping the floors of the school than actually using the equipment. When soldiers do actually use the gear, it's 100% scripted. The soldiers read the commands off a "cut sheet" and enter them verbatim into the command prompt.
With this level of training, anything more complex than TCP/IP is going to be a no-go unless it's implemented in a very transparent way to the operators.

A picture is worth a thousand words. I wonder how much a video costs...

Good point.
I would still consider that to be a symptom of a racist society, but I didn't mention that in the post.

Grow a mullet and see how it affects your chances of reproducing.

Yeah, if there were an IA/OPSEC 3D simulator, maybe fewer units would keep using passwords that appear in manuals anyone with internet access can read.

So, with a brute force attack, I've only got 36,030,233,524,592,808,479,552,335 years before they will reach mine!

So, the modest speed increase required either much better coefficient of drag, smaller frontal area, or much more power.
