Osv.

Osv. (Norwegian abbreviation meaning 'And so on'. English title is Etc.) is a two-part play by Johan Harstad from 2010. It was published as a book on November 1, 2010, and was nominated for the Brage Prize the same year. With a length of just over 500 pages, it is among the longest plays ever published in Norway.

In 2014, Johan Harstad received the Norwegian Ibsen Award for Osv.

Writing and publication

Work on Osv. was started shortly after Harstad was hired as the in-house playwright at the Nationaltheatret in Oslo, Norway. A staged reading of the play as a work-in-progress was held at the National Theatre on September 17 and 19 of 2009. The cast was as follows: Anders T. Andersen (Alan), Trond Brænne (Joseph Zimmer), Endre Hellestveit (Lefèvre/Roger), Ole Johan Skjelbred (Peter/Benjamin), Finn Schau (Bowman), Marte M. Solem (Lisa), Henrik Mestad (Salko), Ingjerd Egeberg (Nola), Anne Marie Ottersen (Kay/Priest) and Mattis Herman Nyquist (Pascal).

A full-scale production of the finished play is expected be performed at the National Theatre in 2013.

OSV-96

OSV-96 (Russian: ОСВ-96) is a Russian heavy semi-automatic sniper rifle chambered for the 12.7×108mm round.

Description

The rifle is capable of engaging infantry at a distance of up to 1800 meters and can combat material targets at ranges up to 2500 meters. As an effective anti-sniper weapon, OSV-96 keeps the shooter outside of the effective range of conventional calibers providing a distinct advantage over lower caliber rifles. Specialized high-accuracy 12.7×108mm 7N34 59.0 gram FMJ and AP sniper cartridges have been developed for Russian .50-caliber sniper rifles such as this rifle. Large caliber machine gun cartridges can also be used for firing, but with limited accuracy. The OSV-96 folds in half in between the barrel/chamber and receiver compartments to shorten its length for ease of transportation. The rifle features a free-floating barrel in combination with a large muzzle brake to greatly decrease its recoil.

Variants

OSv

OSv (stylized OS^v) is a cloud computing focused computer operating system released on September 16, 2013. It is a special-purpose operating system built to run as a guest on top of a virtual machine, thus it does not include drivers for bare-metal hardware. It is a slim, bare bones unikernel including just the functionality necessary to run Java or POSIX applications. For this reason, it does not support a notion of users (it's not a multiuser system) or processes - everything runs in the kernel address space. Using a single address space removes some of the time-consuming operations associated with context switching. It uses large amounts of code from the FreeBSD operating system, in particular the network stack and the ZFS file system. OSv can be managed using a REST Management API and an optional command line interface written in Lua.
