Oolite Bulletins

It's possible that Dawn Trader was speaking tongue-in-cheek - and anyway, what has politics to do with Glasgow? Apart from the upcoming independence, of course - when all the Scots-in-exile will return joyfully to Salmondland. <imagines watch-towers and razor wire going-up along the border - Gretna...

Isn't 10.9 Mavericks free for you as well? I thought that was the general idea from Apple, or is the hardware not supported?

On the subject of docking and buoys, it would seem that an alternative (and more real-life likely) docking aid would be something like the PAPI system used IRL today at airports, where pilots get a series of red and white lights which change colour depending where the pilot is on the glide slope . ....

If I go all Arthur C. Clarke on you the rotation should be lower for larger stations because the rotation is obstensibly to induce artificial gravity. A larger station will have higher velocity at the circumference inducing a larger velocity vector from the centrifugal force. Smaller stations should...

Dammit, you dragged me away from the game to ask me THAT!?

I like this too . . . Now really screw everyone up by making Witchdrive Injectors, and Escape Capsules primable equipment also

Most forums have the same problem. You are checking the email and IP addresses of new members, using something like SFS, yes? Yeah we do a whois checks against them and there is a discernible email address pattern for 99% of the spam sign ups (and we have practically IP range banned the whole of ma...

Sounds like we have the same problem - we had to approve the first ten posts because they got sneaky on us . . . We are more generalist though . . . So easier to make what looks like an innocuous first post on our forum

Not a moderation request per se, but I administer/moderate a phpBB forum elsewhere . . . Which CAPTCHA module have you installed? . . . We are plagued by Chinese spammers and our CAPTCHA Is ineffective!

Yup notebooks generally have a minimalist approach to cooling in order to decrease size and weight. A good external cooler if you are working on a desk is a big benefit. This is why many higher-end laptops now use metal cases instead of plastic (as started by Apple) as hey help dissipate the heat.

I'm feeling happier all the time about having dumped Windows altogether.. :D Problem is, you'll get confronted with it at work, family etc. 'Ah, you're into computers eh? Fix my laptop!!" I hate that. Yeah . . . I know that feeling . . . And half the time the answer to their problems is "...

Yeah, just didn't twig in time that it would be an OXP . . .

As noted, Balmer's parting gift - but I'd wager that Win 9 will be very good.

No bet . . . I'm sticking with Win 7 and it is pretty fast, but then I deal with storage for a living and have a disk setup that is pretty darn swift

Ah yes, I realise now I have the sell equipment OXP, so it must be in there . . . Should this topic stay here or be moved elsewhere in the forum? Do I need to dig out who wrote that OXP or do they all check here?

Windows 8 was Steve Ballmer's parting joke on the world before retiring. . .
