I instead recommend that you purchase a copy of the radio series on CD, on the BBCs own label. It is still in print.
The version on CD is not the original broadcast though. Due to copyright reasons some episodes have had to be edited slightly, and the mice voices were re-recorded. Subsequent repeat broadcasts and all issues on cassette and CD were of the modified version.
BBC Radio 4 did a repeat broadcast of the entire series last year. This was supposed to be of the series as originally broadcast. However the episode containing the mice was the re-recorded version, which was easy to tell as it was the only one not to feature John "Boggy" Marsh reading the credits at the end.
Read the message from Anthony Towns. The only real problem is getting a mechanism in place to automatically build security updates for the 11 architectures supported by woody when the need arises. The architectures currently in potato are not a problem, just the additional 5 added since. The release will be delayed until this mechanism is in place.
This is a very sensible decision, and should be applauded.
A good number of those release-critical bugs are problems building the packages on the lesser used platforms. I'd love to resolve the IA64 problems myself, but I just dont have the hardware.
Removing some of these packages from only the affected ports could significantly reduce the number of release-critical bugs.
In the UK the PS2 comes with a composite cable using a 19-pin SCART connector. Only some of the pins are connected. This doesn't give the "green screen" on DVD playback. SCART sockets have been standard on televisions for many years now.
There is also available an RGB connector with a SCART cable, it is this that gives the "green screen" on DVD playback. Only recent televisions have SCART connectors that are RGB capable.
Finally there is the S-Video cable, which doesn't give the "green screen". S-Video connections on televisions are rare.
Some independant vendors have been selling PS2 SCART cables that can be switched between Composite and RGB.
Purchasing a copy of the 3rd party disc RegionX will remove the "green screen" on playback and also allows the playing of Region 1 DVDs on European equipment. Unfortunatly this doesn't work on all models of the PS2, so I hear. It is also possible to make an internal mod to the PS2 to remove the "green screen" problems.
Moving pictures were first developed by Louis Aimé Augustine Le Prince whilst living in Leeds, England, firslty in 1886 with a multiple lens camera and then later using just a single lens. The earlier surviving images are a series of taken on Leeds Bridge in 1888. Le Prince received patents in both the USA and the UK.
At the same time Etienne Marey was also working on moving pictures. Marey considered himself a scientist and not an inventor.
Marey's design was adapted by William Dixon, an English employee of Edison, into the Kinetoscope, more commonly known as a "What The Butler Saw" machine. This was soon overtaken by the Lumierre brothers work with film projection
Strangley Le Prince disappeared whilst visiting his brother in France, just prior to making a visit to the USA. Was he killed by Edison or the Lumieres?
I need AM for BBC Radio 5, a national news/sports station. There's no other way to easily get hold of all the sports results from anywhere in the UK.
I currently carry a portable CD player with integrated radio in a case that holds 48 CDs. It's a bit bulky, but I can't find anything else that is conveinient for long train journeys.
Is the kernel tuned to match the hardware correctly? For example, if running with IDE drives have you run hdparm to optimise the UDMA transfer mode and other IDE parameters? Is the kernel optimally compiled for your processor. Depending upon your distribution and hardware details you may need to change the kernel for maximum performance.
I remember when Redhat attempted to modularise the sound drivers for one of the 4.x releases. They ended up with Soundblaster drivers working as modules, but every other card driver was completly broken.
There were plans by CBS to introduce an analogue system, called 'Copycode', around 1987, although it would only work if all new tape recorders had "Copycode" circuitry.
It worked by cutting a notch in the frequency spectrum. "Copycode" was quickly nick-named "The A-flat remover" and was soon dumped.
I doubt you saw any pre-war shillings or 2 shillings, the earliest would be from 1947, and made from the same cupro-nickle as then then current coins. Prior to 1947 the coins were minted from silver, and were quickly withdrawn afterwards. The only pre-1947 coins I saw were dug up after being found with a metal detector.
I used to use a couple of machines with expansion cards on the top of the case, making them very easy to get to. There was also an additional cover that fitted above the slots and allowed cabling to be ducted to the rear if needed.
Unfortunatly this was a good number of years ago and I've no idea who produced them.
A good number of years ago, when telephones were still all pulse-dial, there was a number you could dial that would cause the telephone to ring when the receiver was replaced. Obviously a simple test mechanism for installation engineers.
The feature dissappeared from our exchange a good few years before the exchange was replaced with a digital one.
GIMPS (The Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search) also started in 1997. The purpose of this project is to discover Mersenne primes, which are prime numbers in the form (2^x)-1, where x itself is prime. So far only 38 such numbers have been discovered, the last four being discovered by GIMPS.
Two years ago this project discovered the largest known prime number ((2^6972593)-1).
A prize of $100,000 has been offered for discovery of a 10,000,000 digit prime number. Unfortunatly the calculations required to test one such number will take about a year.
The embossed stamp will be the first embossed stamp issued by the Post Office for almost 150 years.
Embossed stamps were tried between 1847 and 1854 for some of the larger denominations (6d, 10d, 1s), and proved to be a failure. This was probably due to them having to be individually hand pressed.

Will people stop calling these things 'winmodems'. The latest iBooks come fitted with these things as well!
Linus sounds exactly like the Swedish Chef!
Unfortunatly, Bill Gates sounds exactly like Kermit.

You are depriving a village of its idiot.
Emacs is was included as part of OS X 10.1.2 on my iBook.
And the other, NTL, is also part-owned by Microsoft.
At least you've got TWM working under XDarwin. For me it segfaulted every time I tried it on my iBook.
I purchased a 600 MHz G3 iBook in the UK last month, and had to go through the same process.

I won't buy a portable MP3 player until one turns up with integrated FM/AM radio.
