are you sure it wont work with generic drivers? (meaning just plug it in and see if it detects it) Often you get useless CDs with drivers on when you buy some of the more common hardware but you don't always need them. btw I am guessing you have a rubbish USB modem.

(well what I read somewhere) I'm not sure when the central platform was removed might have been the s...

The LL Station was opened in 1854. Like many things of the palace and anything the mundane things are not often photoed. One reason there are virtually no pictures of the engine houses. Before the age of Digital photography most people would not want to waste a film taking pictures of some electric ...

The glass lamps in the picture also make me think it could be the aquarium because the ends of them look similar to pieces I have found up there, but those sorts of lamps were probably used all over the place. Is that image from the 30's definitely the Crystal Palace. The title of the news reel it i...

yes trademark does cause more of an issue that copyright. As Trademarks don't expire unless the trademark gets abandoned for a number of years. That case Disney threatened some Hospital for painting Mickey Mouse on their walls and were not paying for it. But ignoring any trademark laws. If I someone...

I know copyright law is INCREDIBLY confusing, so many exceptions, different terms for different circumstances and even to the point that a songs tune can be out of copyright before the lyrics or you might have a film which goes out of copyright but some of the things in it are not out of copyright. ...

Delamotte died in 1889 and in that time copyright lasted life of the author + 50 years, now its 70 (for the UK and there are shorter terms and longer such as crown copyright that is 125 years from publication , but this is when copyright only starts to get complicated. E.g who owns it, how many peop...
