Programming creativity is mostly for the young 'un IMO. :) I sincerely hope you're wrong, since I only began programming (at all) in my late 30s. A little offtopic cannot do any harms LOL. This was why I added a smiley. In general, creativity explosion tend to happened for most people in their late...

Just by chance did you install dvd+rw-tools package? ~ $ apt-cache policy dvd+rw-tools dvd+rw-tools: Installed: 7.1-5 Candidate: 7.1-5 Version table: *** 7.1-5 0 990 http://ftp.uk.debian.org unstable/main Packages 500 http://ftp.uk.debian.org testing/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

From what I've read, Mark Pilgrim's Dive into Python is a good introduction to Python for people who have experience programming in another language (as you seem to). It's also freely available online, which is always nice. (Note that it may be a bit out of date in terms of the latest and greatest ...

I'm not sure how Python would want to interact with mplayer (probably there's a function to hand other commands over to the operating system, like system in Perl). But the wildcard part and the for part are pretty much what you would expect. Example pretty much stolen from Python's documentation: i...

I wonder what is the python equivalent for this bash script? for i in *.mpg; do mplayer -vo null -ao null -frames 100 -vf cropdetect -ss 00:20:00 $i > /dev/null 2>&1 > /tmp/cropfile; done; This script basically iterate and play all files with *.mpg wildcard in current directory with mplayer and ...

Delete duplicate post.

Btw, yes no need for running sh, this was actually from a script I have.

I was referring to Cool Preview, not Cooliris. Different add-ons made by same (I think) developers. I thought it was basically the same thing. IIRC, CoolIris showed a thumbnail when you hovered over the link of a result on Google, for example. What does Cool Preview do? Screenshot: http://xs344.xs....

So can we bestow newbie h33t status on President Nicolas Sarkozy for his alleged privacy of 400 DVDs? I had to laugh/

I have been running it as well and haven't noticed any problem either. There is a nifty add-on called "Cool Preview" that works well in Iceweasel 3.5: http://www.coolpreviews.com/ I briefly used CoolIris on Firefox 2 (I think). I think their current claim that the addon makes browsing fas...

How did you install the nvidia driver? Debian way? Or nvidia's installer script from their website? I have the same card in one PC it worked fine when installed Debian way, but after some times especially after kernel upgrade it became a hassle to install only to do some squashing of bugs so I use t...

It really depend on what you install and what you want to do in Sid. If you install a lot of stuffs e.g., KDE4, then be prepare for a lot of messy upgrade, missing dependencies, buggy packages etc. Generally it could be as stable as you want it to be but you need to maintain the system and be extra ...

asrock is (was?) run by a asus founder. IIRC, it also had some connection with Gigabyte. I believe that is correct. I have no idea about the current status of the latest Asrock motherboard, mine is from more than 4 years ago and as I mentioned it's still working flawlessly with the first O/S instal...

You're probably looking for something similar to this, works in MS Windows & Mac OS X:

However, I do not know if there is one that works in Linux.

I have a good mind to visit her abode. Just kidding.

Best wishes and good luck Lavene.

Works just fine , why would you need to download it from Adobe? That's like saying you need to go the the Adobe site to get flash rather than using the debian or dmm packages. I haven't use Adobe Reader for a while however I recalled that the Debian packaged Adobe Reader does not have the full feat...

I'm assuming that it' s the right Joomla package so please take note: * Installing a software manually is not recommended (because you have to track security updates yourself every day, then manually install/update the software quickly) * Joomla! has lots of security advisories, about one per month ...

Generally I found that the quality is usually better with mencoder than ffmpeg especially when I (re)encode video to another format.

Transcode >>> mencoder >> ffmpeg
