Operating the Stargate from Osiris' ship..
In the series it's made very clear that the SGC operate the 'gate using supercomputers to compensate for stellar drift, something accomplished by a DHD (which gets systematic updates) on other planets.

It therefore makes no sense that the gate would work onboard Osiris ship, and using a few laptops to 'control' it. With stellar bodies flying away from one another at thousands of miles per second, how could they any planet other than Abydos (which is claimed to be the only one which you can dial 'manually' without a DHD attached)?

Also, in the SGC the 'dialling' is accomplished by motors physically turning the outer track with the star systems labelled upon it. I don't recall seeing any mechanical devices attached to the gate on board Osiris' ship..... Which is a 'goof' I suppose, rather than the huge plot-hole that is being able to dial planets using the processing power of a few laptops to take stellar drift into account!
