To me, one of the really mind boogling things in terms of waste is how we today basically create piles of complete systems just to run a single application. The system used to run a single application is filled with other applications, libraries and functions that are never used. And the application being run is probably using shared lib and other complex mechanisms designed for shared environments when no sharing will in fact happen. Yes, these servers are virtual and just part of a file. But the overhead in space and energy is still mind boggling.
