I found the cinemovies source +just a few days ago, and as you can see from the summary, it extended +my list with 63 movies. Check out the mklist-* scripts in the git +repository if you are curious how the lists are created. Many of the +titles are extracted using searches on IMDB, where I look for the +title and year, and accept search results with only one movie listed +if the year matches. This allow me to automatically use many lists of +movies without IMDB title ID references at the cost of increasing the +risk of wrongly identify a IMDB title ID as public domain. So far my +random manual checks have indicated that the method is solid, but I +really wish all lists of public domain movies would include unique +movie identifier like the IMDB title ID. It would make the job of +counting movies in the public domain a lot easier.</p> + + + Kommentarer til «Evaluation of (il)legality» for Popcorn Time http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Kommentarer_til__Evaluation_of__il_legality__for_Popcorn_Time.html @@ -1162,31 +1234,6 @@ Archive: <a href="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q1140317">Q1140 <a href="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q3429733">Q3429733</a>, <a href="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q774474">Q774474</a></p> -<p>As usual, if you use Bitcoin and want to show your support of my -activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address -<b><a href="bitcoin:15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b">15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b</a></b>.</p> - - - - - A one-way wall on the border? - http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/A_one_way_wall_on_the_border_.html - http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/A_one_way_wall_on_the_border_.html - Sat, 14 Oct 2017 22:10:00 +0200 - <p>I find it fascinating how many of the people being locked inside -the proposed border wall between USA and Mexico support the idea.
