Oolite Bulletins

I dug on old PC out (500w PSU so I haven't used it in a while - costs about a shilling on the hour). XP SP3 with an Nvidia 6200. It turns out that it sports full shaders which were breathtaking on a 37" monitor. There was no sign of any ZOrder error whatsoever and Oolite was rock solid despite ...

I prefer the term 'scrofula' if you please SandJ

Well, trying to purchase one is proving less than easy. There's some daft page on RS components site where I can 'express an interest' - that's not what I want to do! How typically British as in Rover Group.

I did download 5 oxp's and 4 were reported to appear malicious. So, it doesn't affect all oxp's - only some. How singularly odd.

Actually, thinking about it, I got an update for Chromium from Canonical about 24 hours ago. I'll redown some OXP's and see if it's a general issue. Thanks for allaying my concern... there is the matter that other users may be put off by such a warning?

It's hard to put into words but, here I go. Years ago a byte (bite) was the maximum number of bits that could be processed in any one operation at any point in a computer. On most systems that was 8.

It seemed to take forever to become Elite but back then time wasn't a problem so much as an elastic resource. I also played the speccy too when a friend bought the Firebi...

That's the ticket! (It reminds me of a cut scene from 'The Darkening' )

I love the idea of different grades of fuel... but also love the 7 light year jump limit. Could a cheaper fuel be the cause of more misjumps/breakdown of equipment?

I'll see you in the queue then DaddyHoggy!

Hi, I'd like to participate.

I shouldn't be surprised but I found it surprisingly easy to make the stars white. I lifted the universal section from the Systems Redux OXP and added a couple of bits from the Wikki and by jingo it worked! Hats off to the programmer. Who in the seven hells thought of making all that configurable by...
