"In most cases Ackman's wife put the author's name and publication date immediately after the material which she used — but did not put quotation marks around it."
Am I supposed to be outraged?
What ignorant baloney. Majority of the world's Muslims live in democracies. And Muslim-majority countries have a lower homicide rate than Christian-majority ones.
Take your ignorant bigotry elsewhere.
If you bothered to read your own link you'd see that it was in response to earlier violence. The cycle of back and forth violence has been going on well over a century, each new round provoked by the last one.
Last name Soros, by any chance?
Please don't make me defend Obama. The Nobel Committee laid out the reasons that they voted to give Obama the award. In 2009, Obama began drawing down troops from Iraq, and also gave a well-regarded speech in Cairo to the Muslim world, promising a reset after the Iraq war and mutual respect. He also not only gave a speech at the UN calling for a world completely free of nuclear weapons but he started organizing UN security council meetings to try and get unanimous agreement to reduce the world nuclear weapon stockpiles. These reasons were why the Nobel committee said he deserved it; citing their original founding criteria to determine a person or entity who promoted peace and reduced armies.
Of course he later increased troops in Afghanistan and stepped up drone attacks.
These things are always slower and harder to support than just a standard workstation, support and ongoing costs are higher. 2GB memory was ok for tiny low cost devices 10 years ago, now it's just a joke.
It's not impossible to configure a set of applications that will work in such a poor spec, but most teams can't or won't do it. I think a stop-gap solution might be in order, want to run a software stack with little CPU, a tiny allocation of ram and no local storage? Try it on a physical machine that can be scaled back up.
It probably doesn't even need to be tried at all though, just put an actual user on one of your test environment machines and see how many minutes it takes before they run into a work stoppage.
