Re: Python equivalent of "for" in bash script
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...

Re: Python equivalent of "for" in bash script
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 (Note that it may be a bit out of date in terms of the latest and greatest ...

Re: Python equivalent of "for" in bash script
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...

Re: Iceweasel 3.5
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.

Re: How stable is Sid?
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 ...

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