It was claimed that the Games altered forever the way the world perceives Australia, advancing its brand by a decade (Brown et al. 2002: 175). Brown et al.

However, if this server is malicious and simply does not respond at all, a thread in the memory server will just hang forever. We probably should have included service timeouts, although doing so would introduce race conditions. Finally, Amoeba does not support virtual memory. It has been our working assumption that memory is getting so cheap that the added complexity of
