<0> woulda been a lot safer to have just shot the sonofabitch.
<1> I live in a city where the raw number of ***aults/robberies/rapes/murders far exceeds both of your cities
<1> I've been mugged once
<2> reality: and which city is this?
<1> bhab: "The Magic City"...aka the ****hole, Birmingham, Alabama
<0> bhab: you know, I really didn't get scared and freak the **** out until about 15 minutes later.
<0> but boy did I freak the **** out.
<2> yeah, after the adrenaline shock wore off
<2> that's when i'd be brown.
<1> I still don't see the need to carry around a gun
<0> when the realization of what just happened hit me, wow.
<0> i couldn't really stand up. I just kinda sat on a curb and shook.
<0> and fought the urge to vomit for some reason.
<3> adreanlne
<0> maybe.
<0> I just remember goin "ok, gonna puke. ok, maybe not, yep, gonna puke, okoknow ... not gonna... "
<0> back and forth for a while.
<1> Before that, I was in Nashville, which again reported 5-10 times the amount of rapes/murders/***aults/robberies than your cities
<1> Robbed twice
<0> reality: you have a lot of fait in criminals. I guess you figure they won't do bad **** to you.
<0> well, cynical I guess.
<1> Not particularly.
<0> so you'd just accept whatever they do to you?
<1> To ***ume I'd take it lying down would be a fallacy
<0> or bank on odds?
<1> However, there's not much I can do about getting robbed...it's not like I was there when it happened.
<0> you coulda been.
<0> oh well.
<1> That I would bank on the odds
<0> I need to get to bed.
<0> ah, so you'd rather trust chance than place the defense of your life into your own hands.
<0> I suppose that's a valid choice. Not mine, but it is a valid choice.
<1> My defense is in my own hands
<0> when faced with a gun, no it isn't.
<1> No matter what, it's in my hands
<0> it's in the hands of your attacker. if he chooses to blow you away, he'll blow you away.
<1> Same situation would apply even if you yourself are armed
<3> help could be there now, in your hands. or parked in front of a donut shop. He could just rob you, or he could rape you and then kill you
<1> It just might come sooner
<0> uh, no, we're on even footing.
<0> he's armed, I'm armed.
<0> tactical skills, situational awareness, other factors help to even things up.
<1> If you're on the couch, I break down your door, have a shotgun, see you reach for a gun, and just pull the trigger...
<1> I'm sorry but a bullet travels faster than your reflexes
<1> Arrrgh... bsims really needs to change that /home to ~
<0> no one's just going to explode through my door.
<1> It annoys me whenever I see that quoted like that.
<0> situational awareness.
<0> no one's going to just explode through my door short of breeching charges.
<0> they could probably get through with surrepititous force, but it'd take more than one attempt.
<1> As it stands, nobody is going to get through my door...period.
<0> and by the second slam against my door, I'm already taking action.
<1> Unless you're outside it with a damn IED or grenade
<0> and I'd rather have my own weapon and be dailing 911, than just be dialing 911.
<0> cuz, the cops aren't gonna get there before someone gets through the door.
<0> but rest ***ured I'll have that door covered by a weapon by slam #2.
<1> What about a window?
<0> what about it?
<1> Could just blow you away through the window
<0> it still requires lots of noise
<0> yeah, if they're ******ins
<0> I'm unaware of any robberies that have occurred in that fashion.
<0> shooting the victinm through a window, and then breaking in.
<0> I mean, I guess it could happen, but I've never heard of it.
<0> I'm pretty comfortable with my situational awareness levels and tactical skills.
<1> I'm perfectly comfortable with my situation as it stands
<0> I trust those, combined with a weapon to save my life much much more than I do 911.
<1> Nobody is getting in here. Period
<0> I really gotta get to bed.
<0> night.
<1> Unless you have a 2 key, three access codes, and a grenade
<1> Oh, and a garage door opener
<0> moral of that story is hit you oustide your door.
<0> you won't have a weapon.
<0> that'd be the perfect time.
<4> hi
<4> When I use a perl commandline with find's -exec I get an error "missing argument to exec"
<5> sastrup: eh?
<4> Nanuq it's sorted out, basically I left no space between the {} and \;
<6> Hello all
<6> Everybody sleepin I bet?
<5> nope
<5> fetching tea
<6> Ah yes nothing like a nice cuppa ;)
<6> :O
<6> 'ppp0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization' can't seem to figure this one out...any ideas?
<7> bad kernel config?
<5> slarty: iptables or something?
<6> Out of the box kernel
<5> slarty: presumably because ppp0 doesn't exist, at that point
<6> No firewall running, I stopped the one that there was
<5> slarty: well it's not the kernel, anyhow
<6> Funny thing is the very same config worked before...I'm using pppoatm
<6> Don't know if your familiar with that, but everything is right up to the point I try to ifup
<6> Then I get that error, nothing in messages btw
<6> So, pppd creates ppp0 isn't it?
<8> dang. my laptop power supply just stopped working
<8> anyone have an idea where i can get a new power supply for a compaq machine? in the US/west coast?
<8> (power supply = power adaptor)
<9> Fry's electronics
<8> libolt4, would they have it for any laptop?
<9> they usually sell universals that work on many diferent laptops, they just plug a different adapter on the end
<8> ah
<9> I bought one for an old HP pavlion n5415 a few years back
<8> by different adapter you mean the power socket adapter which fits into the machine, right?
<9> indeed
<8> ah thanks, will go there first thing tomorrow then
<5> cheeksy: haha, I like that
<9> welcome
<8> looks like the wires loose someplace
<8> i get power sometimes, and not at other times
<9> the Fry's electronics here in AZ is invaluable at times :)
<8> libolt4, hehe i can imagine
<8> i have a 2 year old compaq presario, and i couldnt live without the data on it
<10> Anyone know of a good tutorial for mkisofs? Try as I might, I can't get it to create an ISO with any sort of directory structure (it recurses all the subdirs and then mashes in the files in the CD root directory)
<9> vIkSiT: heh well hopefully they'll have one that fits your model. I bought my son a compaq presario laptop a month ago at fry's, turion 64 1.6ghz, nvidia geforce 6150 and a 100gb 5400rpm drive, should keep an 8 year old busy :)
<6> MarchHare: I can only suggest 'man mkisofs'...but I bet you know that
<8> libolt4, yeah its a pretty common laptop really.. and its not too old either
<10> Yes, and that isn't something I've found particularly helpful.
<10> Man pages are great, if you know exactly how to find what you're looking for. All I can do is formulate the question "how to I make mkisofs work with directories" and work from there.
<10> So unless the man page has something particularly obvious relating to what I'm after, I may have missed it.
<10> Unless it was the "Cache Inodes" option.
<6> Are you using a frontend for it? might be more helpful
<10> Nope.
<10> I'm in Win32. Not too many frontends that I know of.
<10> I'm trying to find an open source license set of tools to do CD/DVD burning. I'm tired of bloated commercial software when all I need is a basic burner.
<10> I'll be trying to move off to proper linux after MS drops support for XP
<6> Well there's a cross platform one, java
<6> http://burnit.sunsite.dk/
<10> Hmmm, intresting. I'll be looking at it. Anything native to Win32?
<6> Well I just googled that, so.. :)
<10> Well, for the moment, I just need to figure out how to get a proper ISO with a nice directory tree out of mkisofs.
<6> http://home.arcor.de/kerberos002/cdrtfe/index_en.html
<6> there, a win32 one
<11> mkisofs -o name.iso -R /cdrom ?
<10> I was wondering if I had to use the RR information...
<6> Well I'm gonna try if my ppp0 is working now...
<12> damnit, i froze my beer
<11> Strider-: should be room temp.
<5> Strider-: bastard!
<12> it's an IPA, it's supposed to be cold
<11> IPA?
<11> Isopropyl alcohol?
<11> bumer
<10> I figured it out.
<10> In order to get mkisofs to do trees, you have to give it a directory name, not just a filename wildcard
<11> MarchHare: yes
<5> insmod: wow eh?
