We have 64 bits virtual.

Just don't put processes in intersecting address spaces; we already slide them arounbd with ASLR; adding negaffinity is not that hard a modification.

No TLB intersections, no issues.

Yes, performance will be reduced due to not having any page sharing whatsoever.

Alternate fix: stop using hypervisors.

And if there aren't any opportunities, well, guess you're out of luck.

You could emigrate to the US. Oh, wait, that's not an opportunity either any more.

So emigrate to Europe, China, and elsewhere.

Why the hell do you have to go to the U.S.?

If your education system sucks so badly in your country -- that looks like a business opportunity for someone (to me).

Start your own DeVry or University Of Phoenix.

Contractors get no respect in California. We work side by side employees, but get none of their benefits.

If they did not treat you substantially differently -- cubicles instead of offices, no free food, no company events, etc. -- the California Department Of Labor would reclassify you as employees.

In effect, the California Department Of Labor demands that the company you contract for essentially treat you like shit, and if they don't, the punish the company.

And, in reverse, when you have no possibility of getting an education and no jobs, then you live in poverty, and are likely to commit crimes as a way to improve your situation, or even as a way to survive.

An education is not something you get, it's something you take.

It requires you to avail yourself of every opportunity, rather than sitting around waiting for someone to give it to you.

While this is a harder road to travel, it's one many people in the U.S., Europe, China, and elsewhere have successfully pursued.

Carbon Neutral isn't enough.

You should sequester the carbon internally instead of exhaling it, by converting your bones to diamond.

Sweden had a similar absurd claim about stopping all greenhouse gas emissions by 2025. Which would, of course, have included farting humans, cows, and reindeer.

So I made up Swedish flag T-shirts that had printed across the yellow horizontal bar "Do Your Part: Don't Fart".
