 Firefly to become a MMORPG - SystemShock
The "Browncoats," as Firefly's most devoted fans are known, have been campaigning to bring the show back almost since the moment it was canceled in late 2002.
Canceled in the United States after only 11 episodes, Firefly has become the Star Trek of 21st-century sci-fi fandom: a show that seemed to remake the genre even as it stayed faithful to the conventions of "hard" science fiction, like engine room problems and menacing hordes lurking on the edge of known space.
The universe of Firefly and its spinoff film, Serenity, featured everything from Old West-style towns to futuristic urban environments, gritty spaceships and pastoral retreats -- freedom fighters, oppressive government agents, smugglers, outlaws, mercenaries, trader, townsfolk, futuristic geishas and a race of corrupted humans known as the Reavers.

 Mach Microkernel Support for Distributed Memory Multiprocessors   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The complete Mach interface, including tasks, threads, shared memory, and external pagers, is supported, allowing existing applications and servers, including a 4.3 BSD Unix server, to run without modification.
The resulting system is semantically indistinguishable from a shared-memory multiprocessor Mach system; in particular, when a Unix server is run on a distributed kernel, processes on the network see a single view of Unix services, as they would on a shared memory multiprocessor.
This avoidance of the scheduler when performing message operations parallels handoff scheduling in a nondistributed kernel, where the client avoids the scheduler by handing off the processor directly to the server.
