Shoot, mv -i does not work !

ubuntu-dock?

Is that a package?

It doesn't appear to be in any of the main repositories.

That's right.

@ParanoidPanda I have to wonder what is it you have against manpages.
That's the fourth question of yours I have answered straight from the manpage, isn't it?
user136984
@muru: I had a quick look in the manpage, and then I asked a friend who said that I should pipe it to another program and that I could not just use tree to do that, so I didn't really read the manpage that intently.

Oh, I'm a Templar, not a Mage. I'm shielded by having insufficient fonts. :D
user136984
@Mateo: So what's the secret of unicode magic?
user136984
Could somebody please just spill the magic beans!
It's sort-of accent character or something like that repeated a large number of times.
What you see in a single character's width is actually: ส<0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49>‌​<0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e‌​49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49>‌​<0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e‌​49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49><0e49>'

now I have 1 router on 2.4GHz and another on 5GHz \o/
lol
I have one that does both at the same time :P
only since 2 weeks though :X
yeah well I couldn't afford one of those :P
Got the second for $5.
cheap :D
And the first was a modem + router so I couldn't afford to be picky that it didn't do simultaneous 2.4 + 5.
Then my neighbor set up a new one next to my house blaring at like a million watts >.>
18:30
AND on my channel.
lots of interferance?
you betcha.
changing the channel helped some but it was still bad.
eew that's bad :D
So now I'm migrating most of the devices in the house over to 5GHz.
if that happens here we can call the cops :-X
18:31
@Rinzwind Wait really?
That's crazy.
you are not allowed to interfere basic internet here
wow
Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing ;P
I can't imagine someone calling the cops just because my router interfered with theirs..
Especially because if they knocked at my door I'm sure we could work it out :D
oh that's not it. If you kill all the internet connections in a couple of houses I meant
18:33
(I have a shotgun right next to the door)
(jk)
we are not allowed to have guns ;-)
@Rinzwind ohh. Well, that's different then.
@Rinzwind ....
yeah. like you are not allowed to have your own radio station using the airwaves.
I don't own one but I believe it is not a right the government has any right to take away.
but nowadays those people use the internet :D
@Seth I do :-)
18:36
I live in Canada and I concur with @Seth.
(I do not own one; I believe government has that right >:-D )
@Rinzwind You trust your government? O_o
I see..
@NathanOsman that has NOTHING to do with it
@Rinzwind That doesn't even make sense. If you don't have the ability to bear arms, you've delegated that responsibility to someone else - the government in your case.
Therefore you implicitly trust them.
18:37
@NathanOsman no. You have some twisted american logic there ;-)
I'm not American!
And you haven't pointed out any flaws in what I believe to be valid reasoning.
the ability of owning arms says nothing about the trust you have in a government
Except, it does.
nope.
Somebody has to defend you.
18:39
@NathanOsman why?
It's either going to be you or someone else.
@Rinzwind Because there is evil in the world.
@NathanOsman sorry but in my 46 years life I never had any need for any gun.
2
@Rinzwind But the moment you do, it will be too late.
user136984
Look, I think it would be much better if we did not feel the need to bear arms, nor did our governments.
there is little to no evil in the Netherlands.
18:40
@ParanoidPanda Me too - but such a world does not exist, so sticking our heads in the sand doesn't help.
user136984
Instead of arming the people, we should work on global disarmament.
@NathanOsman we survived 2 world wars ;-)
@ParanoidPanda ...and that is the exact opposite of what I am saying.
Here's the truth: evil people gonna be evil. They always have and always will have access to guns - the law is irrelevant to them. The rest of us (the law abiding ones) have a choice. We can either arm ourselves and limit the evil they can do or we can disarm ourselves and remain helpless.
user136984
Arming the people just means a civil war, or a mass school shoot out, is more likely to occur.
Thing is ... it is in our nature. We Dutch are merchants at heart. Not people that fight wars. We negotiate. During WW1 we kept out of it. Even though we are next to Germany. We made a deal to help their Kaiser (he spent most of his life in Holland).
18:43
@NathanOsman Which is exactly what happened in the UK.
Now no one but the bad guys have guns.
@ParanoidPanda If you mean more likely as in actually possible then yes..
@Seth we got a share of shootouts (see the hit and runs we had the last few months. 8 or so?) but those are all criminal vs criminal
@ParanoidPanda Which of these two scenarios is likely to result in fewer deaths (1) an armed shooter enters a school and nobody is armed - he can go on a rampage until police/SWAT show up (2) an armed shooter enters a school with armed employees - he is stopped cold by one of them?
Anyway, I'm going to be AFK for a few minutes. BRB.
there you go with the american logic.
We do not have armed shooters entering a school.......
Mainly cuz it is not easy to get armed in Holland and when someone does get guns he usually tends to use them for robberies
I think most school shootings have very little to do with owning guns. It seems to me most of them are either clinically depressed or on drugs which is things we need to fix in society, not by banning guns.
@Rinzwind and then not legal to defend yourself..
@Seth i am not even allowed to kill anyone in defence ;)
generally I'd get sued for overly excessive behaviour
18:46
Well the aim should never be to kill them anyway.
But if they attacked me and I accidentally killed them defending myself I don't see why I should be to blame.. I hate killing but they took their life in their own hands when they attacked me.
anyway, politics isn't exactly a proper topic for this room ;)
If @jrg were here he'd kick us all out ;P
user136984
Instead of destroying those with evil within, we should work to purify them. And hostility just will not do it, if you are hostile, you will get hostility back, only when you lead with peace, do you get peace back.
@Seth depends on the circumstances. a jeweler's wife here shot 2 burglars dead. She is going to go to jail for 2 reasons: 1. unregisterd gun. 2. burglars had knifes. Using a gun with the intent to kill was deemed excessive.
@ParanoidPanda And if you're not hostile you'll be dead :)
But there is some truth to that.
@ParanoidPanda not going to work ;-)
@Rinzwind yeah, I agree, but I don't think it should be illegal in stone, that's all.
18:51
Nowadays you have to deal with irrational behaviour.
we had 2 murders here the past 20 years or so. 1 on a politician and 1 on a movie maker. Both where extreme in their views regarding foreingers. Still... I feel no need to walk around with a gun or a knife.
user136984
@Rinzwind How do you know unless you try?
And as far as I can tell nobody in Holland does :D
Still we have someone like Wilders running around :D
user136984
You people are very much filled with hostility, what you give, you get back. Karma.
@ParanoidPanda the current problem cases are extremist moslims... no reasoning with them since most of them got brainwashed.
user136984
@Rinzwind: Ok, I agree that there is a problem with that.
18:55
But I do agree that "More guns" or "Everyone a gun" is not the answer.
user136984
Making guns illegal actually makes it less likely that extremists gets armed.
user136984
The world's governments need to all unite, and end all these wars. Then together, and united, we can fight extremism.
I shudder to think of it.
user136984
@Seth: Of what?
Sometimes you get what you ask for, and then you realize how terrible it really is...
