Comp Holiday homework in HTML[edit]

I am in Class 8 and in my Computer holiday homework I have to write the coding for a website on a particular topic and e-mail it to my teacher. I am completed the coding but when I will send it the photos and videos I have used in it will not be available at the smae location as it is on my laptop, this would result in blank spaces it the websit. What to Do?????????--Aryan ( है?) 05:26, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is what I want- ~~http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=66726697372990967788~~ [1] --Aryan ( है?) 06:00, 11 June 2016 (UTC)--Aryan ( है?) 06:02, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is what I get-[2]--Aryan ( है?) 06:02, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You could host your images on a public site like Imgur. Personally I'd host the images there and host the page(s) on a site like CodePen or JSfiddle; you'll have to use the full URLs that Imgur generated for your images when you refer to them from your email, or a site like Codepen. If you really had no alternative, you could embed the image into the HTML using the Data URI scheme (possibly using a tool like this to generate the encoded text), but for all but trivial images that produces horrifically unreadable HTML code (which matters if your teacher intends to manually read the HTML source text). -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 14:44, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Or you could zip the HTML, images and folder structure? --Tagishsimon (talk) 16:14, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, zipping the files is a better solution. The whole thing is then self contained and doesn't depend on external servers. Just put all the files in one folder, make sure it works there, and then run zip on the folder to create a zip file and send the zip file to your teacher.

CodeTalker will the links from one file to another will be intact in that case ?--Aryan ( है?) 07:29, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The links will work if you used relative links and not absolute links. If you links C:/users/aryan/My Photos/school/coolimage.JPG then it will not work. If you used coolimage.jpg and the image is in the same folder is the HTML file, then it will work. 199.15.144.250 (talk) 13:45, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

hey please answer my request.[edit]

Hello, i wanted to know what i have to do to own an lte network. I searched the internet but nothing regarding my searches. I mean what do i have to buy?, from who?, and how much is it going to cost me actually. Please specify exactly what i have to buy to start a 4g lte network (for business). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 197.210.16.20 (talk) 09:06, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In most places you need a license from the government. And you can't get one unless you have billions of USD to buy out a company with an existing license. Cellular networks (like 4G LTE) use regulated frequencies. Things like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth use unregulated frequencies, which is why anyone can buy devices transmitting on those frequencies. --71.110.8.102 (talk) 09:11, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Self-pedantry: what I really meant was "base stations transmitting on those frequencies". Of course anyone can buy a cellular device that transmits on LTE frequencies, but only devices that act as "clients". --71.110.8.102 (talk) 23:25, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There are areas that are currently not covered and may be licensed. The reason is that there are still some areas with no cities or main roads. So, there is no reason to put in a cell tower to cover the area. As an example, most of Alaska is not covered. You can probably get a license to put up a tower in the middle of nowhere pretty cheap.

However - I think that the questioner thinks that he can buy a tower, drop it in his backyard, and suddenly the phone companies will come and pay him to use it. That won't happen. What you can do is lease land for the phone company to use so they can put up their own tower. They prefer very tall buildings or very open farmland. If you have either, then they probably already contacted you. 199.15.144.250 (talk) 12:05, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's very common around here in Vermont. Many farmers have cell phone antennas on their grain silos. I figure that there are so many because there are so many mountains getting in the way. Getting towers, be they cell phone, TV, or wind turbines, put up on mountain ridges around here is a long painful process. Dismas|^(talk) 12:51, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is that grain still organic? (if it was before being put in) Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 02:43, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Print-Screen's Video Equivalent[edit]

Like we are able to capture whatever is there on the computer's screen just by pressing one button, is there any software etc. that can help us capture video that's going on on the screen from a particular moment to another. Jon Ascton (talk) 16:34, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comparison of screencasting software -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 16:36, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please tell can it record a whole film, i.e. continuesly for 2-3 hours ?

To Buy in Detroit[edit]

I'm planning to buy this or this. Any idea of the closest shop to buy from, near Rochester Hills, Michigan, Detroit? -- Apostle (talk) 18:14, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't live in Michigan but I would think that Detroit has quite a few electronics stores. I'm not recommending them but Best Buy should have that item or you could order it and pick it up at any of the local stores. Dismas|^(talk) 20:33, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just curious, why do you want to buy it at a brick & mortar store rather than online? CodeTalker (talk) 21:43, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Someone lives their who's might be coming down after Ramadan with their family to visit me where I'm. If they do, than I can request this as a souvenir along with few other things; all has to be within $200 however. They are not good at doing online transactions, same goes with me... -- Apostle (talk) 04:54, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
