VBoxManage -type vrdp start , or something quite similar, though you can also do it through the GUI, if you like. Note that VirtualBox supports RDP access to any type of VM, since it's done by VirtualBox rather than the Guest OS.

You missed some key points, here.
In USB 3, 150mA is a "unit load," and a given port may pull 6 unit loads- that's 900mA at nominal 5V, which is 4.5W; similarly, USB 2 is 100mA times 5 unit loads at nominal 5V- 2.5W.

Additionally, whenever the Battery Charging Specification is implemented, we'll be seeing 1.5A at nominal 5V, for 7.5W.

It's also worth mentioning that my Acer Aspire One pulls 9 watts while on battery, and doesn't have a battery that lasts 8+ hours.

Sponsored by companies like Cisco, Tipping Point, Acronis, and Northrop Grumman, as well as government organizations like the Department of Homeland Security, CCDC is a three-day event, which pits college students against computer security professionals. Teams of college students are expected to defend a mock corporate network, while fulfilling business tasks and ensuring that Service Level Agreements for various services are not violated."

I'm interested in finding out what the most technologically advanced credit card out there is (both in terms of physical technology, and in terms of the support provided for the card. An RSS feed of my transactions? A programmatic way to get access to my bank balance?)."
