Answer to Question 1

Three types of virtualization exist: PC virtualization, server virtualization, and desktop virtualization.
With PC virtualization, a personal computer, such as a desktop or portable computer, hosts several different operating systems. Say a user needs to have both Windows 8 and Linux running on his or her computer. In that circumstance, the user can install a virtual host operating system and then install both Windows 8 and Linux on top of it. In that way, the user can have both systems on the same hardware. VMWare Workstation is a popular PC virtualization product that can run both Windows and Linux operating systems.
With server virtualization, a server computer hosts one or more other server computers. In a Windows Server computer hosting two virtual machines, users can log onto either of those virtual machines and they will appear as normal servers. Server virtualization plays a key role for cloud vendors.
PC virtualization is interesting and sometimes quite useful and server virtualization is key to cloud economics. Desktop virtualization, on the other hand, has the potential to be revolutionary. With desktop virtualization, a server hosts many versions of desktop operating systems. Each of those desktops has a complete user environment and appears to the user to be just another PC. However, the desktop can be accessed from any computer to which the user has access. Thus, the user could be at an airport and go to an airport computer and access his or her virtualized desktop. To the user, the airport computer appears as his or her own personal computer. Later, the user could do the same to a utility computer sitting in a hotel room. Meanwhile, many other users could have accessed the computer in the airport, and each thought he or she had his or her personal computer.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) in overdose can seriously damage the liver. It should never be taken by people who use alcohol heavily; it can result in severe liver damage and even a condition requiring a liver transplant.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

Cocaine was isolated in 1860 and first used as a local anesthetic in 1884. Its first clinical use was by Sigmund Freud to wean a patient from morphine addiction. The fictional character Sherlock Holmes was supposed to be addicted to cocaine by injection.

The term bacteria was devised in the 19th century by German biologist Ferdinand Cohn. He based it on the Greek word "bakterion" meaning a small rod or staff. Cohn is considered to be the father of modern bacteriology.
