German efficiency

[Wildeblood]

The Germans think of everything. They even have a DIN standardized warning sign to remind people to read the fine manual:



And, it's almost legible when shrunk to match the phpBB smilies: . But not quite; natch.

[Fritz]

I must admit that I never saw (or noticed) this symbol. Perhaps I'm not a good German...

[Wildeblood]

I do have an Oolite-related purpose here: I suggest a nifty, little OXP project for anyone wanting a nifty, little OXP project would be a HUD component that used shipWillLaunchFromStation to display this:-



- on the HUD then shipLaunchedFromStation to remove it again, while displaying the console message, "Remember to fasten your seatbelt."

Ah you noticed too, No space ship has seat belts, so sign would be useless

[ClymAngus]

whaaaaaaaah......Flollop!


I don't know what Ryker is doing to that chair, but it doesn't look consensual......

Unfortunately there was a fairly good reason for that - they couldn't afford to shake the stage so they had to shake the camera while the actors faked being affected by g-forces, and that's actually quite difficult if you're strapped to a seat.

The top one is real, the second one is just a TV show.

Alas,

my fascination with the gazetting of funeral hatchments at Lesser Walsingham on Digebiti precludes any knowledge of such recent matters as Star Trek. Even the identity of this "Ryker"

But, yes. Definitely amusing.

Confession: I did watch some of the very first TV programmes. But none of the others.

You have a special talent for thread necromancy, Cholmondely
