    Question Which software ecosystem do you use?

    So, here's a random question. Over the years I've ended up with my data, files etc across several ecosystems such as photos in Google photos, general stuff in Dropbox and notes in Evernote. I've also ended up with a OneDrive account as I use MS Office. I'm debating just throwing my lot in with...

    Creating a specific graph in Excel 2016

    As part of my degree I'm doing a question which requires me to plot radial strain and hoop strain against the radial position of where the measurements were taken. I have the data in a spreadsheet in Excel 2016 (attached) and so am trying to plot row 25 (mean strain, separated into columns of H...

    Reith lectures

    I heard it mentioned on the radio this morning that the BBC's 2016 Reith Lectures will be broadcast today at 0900GMT on BBC Radio 4 and available afterwards as a podcast or through iPlayer. This years speaker is Stephen Hawking and the topic is black holes so thought it was worth mentioning...

    Rant The internet used to be good.

    Sorry, please bear with me. Here goes: Does anyone else feel the web has gone downhill in the past decade? I don't mean advances in bandwidth or the potential quality of website design available, but I distinctly remember in the late 1990s/early 2000s how the web seemed to be a vast collective...

    News NASA unveils rover prototype fit for exploring icy Europa moon

    Article from RT: http://rt.com/usa/270097-nasa-europa-moon-mission/ Interesting, don't understand why they haven't gone for a more conventional ROV design rather than using wheels though?

    Wallander films

    I was wondering if anybody here was into the Wallander films with Rolf Lassgard and might be able to help me track them down. Basically, I caught 2 episodes when they were broadcast in the UK with English subtitles on BBC4 a while back but can't seem to find them to download/buy on DVD (aside...

    Orbiter-Forum iPhone shortcut

    After wanting an actual icon for my OF shortcut on my iPhone, I found this website and created a new shortcut with a proper icon: http://webclipicons.info/link.php?id=SpEKWyYtd I just thought it might be useful to any other iPhone-using-Orbinauts out there! If you are unsure how to add it to...

    Gaming FS2004 KSC?

    I know this isn't an FS forum but figured there's a decent chance someone here might have looked for the same thing. Basically, I'm trying to find a freeware KSC/Cape Canaveral/Shuttle Landing Facility scenery for FS2004, but can't find one (or even a payware) anywhere. Surely there must be one...

    Dr Zooch shuttle kit

    I bought this kit a while ago and am nearing completion - I was wondering if anyone here has built one? Reason I'm asking is I'm not entirely convinced the shuttle-glider part will actually detach when required as it seems to attach itself in such a way as to require a lot of force to separate...

    Science Aircraft Systems Engineering lectures

    Gaming FS2004 pressure settings

    Firstly, I know this isn't a Microsoft Flight Sim forum, however I understand some users here do also use Microsoft Flight Sim and it saves me joining a whole new forum for one question! Basically, when it comes to flight sims on the PC I've always used X-Plane, however recently I've picked up...
