The current explanation doesn't clarify "containers;" I expect Randall is thinking of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating-system-level_virtualization a software container] which allows you to deploy a service such as a database engine in isolation from other services using a minimum of resources. This comic makes me think of my experience trying to use [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docker_(software) Docker] on Windows. Docker is among the most popular software container systems, but is tightly bound to Linux, so deploying a Docker container under Windows (or Mac OS X) requires that you first deploy a virtual machine, thus negating some of the benefit of using containers and pushing the software running in the container down yet another level.

Protecting seeds, especially light ones that autorotate, from fall damage seems pretty far-fetched. The autorotation of seeds more likely serves to increase the time they take to fall, thus increasing the distance they travel in the wind.

I wrote this a while back which nests KVM indefinitely -- or at least in theory, in practice I can only get to L4 on hardware I have available.  http://git.annexia.org/?p=supernested.git;a=summary [[Special:Contributions/141.101.98.219|141.101.98.219]] 18:12, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
 
 
A slightly simpler, but more error prone script.
 
#!/bin/bash
 
# If you hate yourself, (DO NOT DO THIS) set file=/dev/sda and add this script to init. Expect corruption.
 
# Untested, though I came close to running it on accident.
