Re: Science Fiction Trivia
Top and bottom left (and possibly middle left) are portrayals of Gene Krantz, Apollo 13 mission control director. I think the one at the bottom is from the film Apollo 13, which means the actor is Ed Harris. No idea about any of the others, I'm just that crap at faces. Not so crap that you're not o...

Re: Science Fiction Trivia
sorry Old Murgh not correct. Ok, another go. Who is Harry Harrison's Bill the Galactic Hero? Feet. Feet of all sorts and shapes and sizes. A whole foot locker full of feet. There were feet that looked like standard issue Trooper's boots and there were feet that looked like running shoes and there w...

For making 3D models of Elite/Oolite ships
Yes, cool idea. Is it becoming common to have a 3D printer with one's PCs too?

Re: Dictators 2.0
Where can I get earlier versions of the OXP, after installing the latest update every time I try to land a Cobra IV on a Astro Factory using the Docking Computer the Ship Crashes (i.e. the ship gets destroyed) You can get the wiki to expose some earlier versions that have been available on the expa...

Re: Science Fiction Trivia
Invasion of the Body Snatchers is the title of both films. The 1956 version was directed by Don Siegel. The 1978 version was directed by Philip Kaufman. Kevin McCarthy is the actor who appeared in both films (in different roles) and is the actor in your pictures. Your visual clue trivia game is ver...

Hard to tell from the examples, but would I imagine the differences in lollipops on the radar would be particularly difficult to appreciate.another_commander wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 6:45 amWe now know how people with protanopia, deuteranopia and tritanopia see color in the game.

Re: A PC for Oolite
If/when prices fall, I'll be looking to go 4K (but I want faster than 60Hz). 4K (3840x2160), 144Hz, IPS, quantum-dot, 4ms(GTG), 16:9, 27" = £2,049.99 <gulps> Improbability Factor falling - now looking at £749 for very similar spec. That must be increasingly tempting. I am curious. How common i...

Re: Science Fiction Trivia
Absolutely right - I had a feeling mentioning the Nobel was a bit of a giveaway... Over to you! Those are rare enough to give a nice feeling of certainty :wink: Allright. Another visual. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/v473/murgh/2kevins.jpg One actor, two films. One title, two directors.

Re: Science Fiction Trivia
On the theme of cloning, let's have a book (also filmed) by a Nobel and Booker prize winning author in which human clones are routinely raised to adulthood then used as donors for organ transplants. Title and author please! We see this plot pop up a few different places, but this one is surely Neve...

Re: A PC for Oolite
That was my experience when there. What's a pint of beer cost over there now? You usually pay £8-10 for .5L generic tap beer (like many many expensive cities, no?). Our alcohol tax pays for free health care, see. :roll: I don't fancy buying a new GPU for a while. That was a silly price. It better s...

Re: A PC for Oolite
Similar, but no monitor - I couldn't match every component, but the main stuff is there. Go here and try configuring a machine. Hey. Pretty close. Not all identical bits available but competitive. It used to be Norway was much more expensive. :D Feeling cheap with my 1TB storage drive now. And what...
