@slhck My mom used to have a problem with a certain pizza shop delivering pizzas to our house, when they were meant to go next door. It was particularly irksome because she really doesn't like that brand of pizza. One night when it happened, she unloaded the delivery guy's arms and slammed the door shut in his face before he had a chance to ask for payment.
@slhck As she tells it, once or twice she'd notice the delivery guy slow down near our house and then quickly drive on to the next one where they were meant to go.
@Na7coldwater Maybe some Windows share or something similarly exotic, and the FS driver confirms the change but isn't actually capable of performing it?
@slhck No idea. Recently had this behavior with mounted remote file systems on a server, and those were Windows shares AFAICT. The missing capability of mapping permissions to the Unix model sounds like a good reason to either return errors all the time, or just silently ignore these commands.
Is there a way to run an executable binary file under Linux which does not have the execute bit set? chmod +x is not an option.
E.g. it's permissions may be r--r--r-- only.
Executing scripts is possible without setting the execute bit and putting in a hash-bang by passing the source to the inte...
I deleted one of my questions yesterday on SO and would like to un-delete it... How do I go about doing this?
If I can't, I think this should be a feature request since you shouldn't be prevented from seeing these posts, especially when they were your own.
For a work around, feel free to vote ...
I know I'll kinda shoot myself in my own foot there, but let's see.
As we all know:
10k users can see deleted posts. For questions, this only works when they have the URL to it.
Mods can see deleted posts and also search for them.
However, the deleted operator still somehow works for 10k use...
I would really like to see all of my questions and answers on the profile page, even if some of them were deleted, and I don't have enough rep to see them on the site.

While playing intense first-person-shooter games often a grenade goes off near my head. The problem, is that I want to maintain my longer hearing while still hear the guy who sneaks up behind me.
Is there software I could use to deafen loud blasts and amplify quiet footsteps?

Audio cheat! ... No idea :/ Don't think anyone has done it, but, Windows has the ability to code additional audio filters... so, I am sure it is technically possible
@TomWijsman - I first thought of that, but, as it's name says, it just equalises... what they want to do is artificially increase the quiet noises and decrease the loud noises (if I understand correctly) ... I am sure it is possible to add your own filters there as I have seen both Realtek and Creative do it, but, I think it is really hard/required DDK or something.
A frequency equalizer changes the amplitude of individual frequencies to do a constant boost certain things in the music, a loudness equalizer changes the amplitudes of all frequencies over time so there aren't annoying volume changes.
But well, I'm not 100% certain of my suggestion is sufficient. It kind of depends if it works short or long-term, because it might be mainly meant for music...
