Alex Cox's work as a director lives on, but for UK cinophiles of a certain age, he's also remembered for his 'Moviedrome' series where he introduced TV sceenings of films (BBC2 sunday night, IIRC) with a pre-screening commentary. I certainly watched many classics for the first time on Moviedrome, and many films which weren't available on VHS or highly unlikely to be screened anywhere else on TV.
IMX is intra-frame only, and supported by ffmpeg. ffbmc is better (and easier) at it. It's a flavour of MPEG2.
I'm pretty late to this story, but let me clear up some misunderstandings for posterity's sake:
Disclosure: I've been involved in this effort for at least ten years, I'm head of ICT for one of the UK Copyright Libraries (National Library of Wales), and this story goes way back to the Primary Legislation passed by the UK in 2003, and we've been working on the practicalities of this since before that legislation was passed.
* Yes, Internet Archive and others have been archiving web sites for many years. We're using their software for capturing.
* We've been collecting and archiving web sites by agreement with the web publishers for years via the UK Web archive project.
* What's different here is that the secondary legislation has been passed (in March) that has given the UK copyright libraries the mechanism (agreed with publishers) to extend legal deposit to digital publications, which includes websites.
* This gives the legal deposit libraries the right to add to the national legal deposit collections (the collection of all published material for the UK) digital publications, including ebooks, ejournals and websites.
* Until the 6th of April 2013, we did not have the right (under normal copyright law) to take a copy of websites without permission. Previously we had to request a written agreement from each website we archived to take a copy - obviously this does not scale very far.
* Under the new legislation, we will be taking periodic copies of the entire
* The difference between us and the Internet Archive is intended to be that given the status as a national collection, the material that we collect is intended to be available in perpetuity. Our print collections go back centuries, and the intention is that the digital material we collect now will also be available in centuries to come. You can read about the distributed redundant storage here.
TL;DR : this is a legal thing, not a technical thing, and it's about a lot more than websites.
Newspaper archives. Presumably there would have been plenty of newspaper coverage (or ads) for the tour. If NLNZ don't offer remote access to in-copyright newspaper archives, then they probably have an enquiry service that can look it up for you if you can't pop in to search them yourself. I'm assuming that there are indexed newspaper archives, but the enquiry service should be able to find our for you even if they have to flip pages themselves, your National Library is pretty good.
Termites nest have a strict regulated temperature (like 1 degree Celsius strict) without any ventilation or air-conditioners.
Termite nests have great ventilation!
submitter here. In my original submission I made this point too. Editor obviously thought that wasn't worth mentioning.
Submitter here. I saw the dupe in firehose - it wasn't posted at the time I submitted, and I didn't feel it picked up on the important part of the story - ie the time location of any recording.
jQuery.ajax(url, {
success: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR){
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown)) {
);
No return, no exception, the programmer decides how to handle it.
What is success/error here if not handling return values??
On the other hand, there has to be a nationalized standard for curriculums. I'm so confused...
That would be sensible, wouldn't it? But see: http://www.education.gov.uk/schools/teachingandlearning/curriculum
In the UK, Academy Schools and Free Schools are 'freed' from the National Curriculum. The National Curriculum is set by academics and teaching professionals, so obviously has a left-wing bias and the Conservative part of the current coalition government is helping to correct that.
In my country, it already does. It's called "the national curriculum".
The UK also has a national curriculum. The issue here is that 'free schools' and 'academy schools' are not bound to it, even though they're publicly funded. This is part of (IMO) the conservative party agenda to wrest control from Local Authorities, and in my opinion is a Bad Thing. Others disagree. 'Free schools' are set up by concerned parents, 'concerned' companies or agenda-driven religious groups. They're free to teach what they want. This is a small step to curtail the whackiest of them, but I'd rather that government concentrated on improving all schools, not just allowing some to opt-out. As I mentioned, others disagree.
Academy schools are draining money from better local schools and forcing them to close.
OK, I don't know what shipping to US is (mine was free in UK) but RIGHT HERE is an answer to us supply problem (I'm assuming CPC don't restrict supplies by country). I'd mod you up (got the points) but I've already posted here (plus I guess I wouldn't want to dry up the UK supply!). Happy RPI hacking. Enjoy your made-in-Wales RPI!
I ordered 5 from CPC last week and got them the next morning. This was the bundle with case, debian squeeze on a 4GB SD and PSU, and they're still showing 'in stock'. CPC have always been reliable for me. I've been using them since they were an electronics spares shop in the 80s with a 4-page photocopied stock list. They've grown to a 1000+ page printed catalogue selling just about anything electronic / electric / officy and I can't fault them. They were bought by Farnell at some point in the past decade, but both being northern UK companies that wasn't so painful - they're both great companies to deal with, and I'm very happy about the bringing together of a company I've always liked and a great product in the kind of technology I've championed for a long time.
We'll be using our RPIs as solid-state video looping devices. The commercial offerings in the UK are easily 5x the price, even at the RPI bundle prices ($80) and having used a few in the past, I'm much happier that the RPI solution will work better for us.
I got 5 from CPC (farnell) the morning after I ordered them this week.
I'm late to the story, I know, but the point of this isn't about coffee production - despite the FA. The radio programme that I heard had proper information, and it's about the effect of climate change on wild arabica coffee plants (already endangered). The programme explains why This Is Bad.
If you have nothing to do, don't do it here.
