As far as I know, if I set write permission to a directory (+w), I will be able to copy files inside and the execution permission to a directory (+x) allows me to list the content of it.  I get problems when I set /root directory with rwx----w- permissions (702), and try to copy a file inside. I get and error that says something like:     cp: cannot perform 'stat' on '/root/myfile': Permission denied   Why does this fail?
I am trying to understand the permission usage for the cp command in unix.   What are the permissions required for copying a file into a directory What are the permissions required for copying out of a directory?   I'm assuming for my first question, the directory will need execute permissions to perform the operation and the file will need read permissions to read the binary of the file and then the output file will need write permissions.  For the second the directory itself would need execute permissions to perform the copy operation and the file would need read permissions to extract the data from the file.  Can anyone tell me if my logic is flawed?
Using zypper, how can I remove all packages installed from a specific repository? I'm writing a tool to report information about .NET applications deployed across environments and regions within my client's systems.  I'd like to read the values of assembly attributes in these assemblies.  This can be achieved using Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoad, however even this approach keeps the assembly loaded.  The issue here is that I cannot load two assemblies that have the same name from different paths, so naturally I can't compare the same application deployed in different systems.  At this point I'm assuming the solution will involve using temporary AppDomains.  Can someone detail how to load an assembly into another AppDomain, read the attributes from it and then unload the AppDomain?  This needs to work for assemblies on the file system as well as those at URL addresses. How do you make Vim unhighlight what you searched for? I search for "nurple" in a file. I found it, great. But now, every occurrence of "nurple" is rendered in sick black on yellow. Forever.  Forever, that is, until I search for something I know won't be found, such as "asdhfalsdflajdflakjdf" simply so it clears the previous search highlighting.  Can't I just hit a magic key to kill the highlights when I'm done searching? How to join a LAN / IPX game on Diablo 1? Recently some of my friends and I grew nostalgic about the original Diablo and realized we've never truly tried the multiplayer aspect of that game. So we set up a modern VPN LAN solution via tuungle (using the appropriate IPX Wrappers) but the problem is, while any of us can manage to create session in Diablo FULL, others cannot find a way to join my IPX/LAN game.  There are no "join" buttons in the game itself.  I've read somewhere that Spawn version is a trial version but can be used to join Multiplayer games. If they can, is it possible for them to play the entire game on LAN or is trial restricted from choosing some classes/accessing some areas?  Or are there some other ways to join?

How to parse a query string into a NameValueCollection in .NET I would like to parse a string such as p1=6&amp;p2=7&amp;p3=8 into a NameValueCollection.

Are there any packages which provide good methods?  Some options include |x| and \mid x \mid, but I'm not sure which is best...

Elements of $\mathbb Q(2^{1/3})$ How to validate an email address using a regular expression? Over the years I have slowly developed a  that validates MOST email addresses correctly, assuming they don't use an IP address as the server part.  I use it in several PHP programs, and it works most of the time.  However, from time to time I get contacted by someone that is having trouble with a site that uses it, and I end up having to make some adjustment (most recently I realized that I wasn't allowing 4-character TLDs).  What is the best regular expression you have or have seen for validating emails?  I've seen several solutions that use functions that use several shorter expressions, but I'd rather have one long complex expression in a simple function instead of several short expression in a more complex function. Python 3 with QGIS on Mac? I need to start learning Python, and I want to learn with version 3.x. I understand that QGIS--at least some plug-ins--relies on Python and Tcl/Tk, and probably on specific versions. Assuming that QGIS is dependent on Python 2, can anyone tell me how to set up parallel installations of Python 3 and Tcl/Tk such that QGIS will have what it needs and I can use Python 3 for other purposes? How are reviews assigned? If development on the Stack Exchange iOS/Android apps has ceased indefinitely, what should we do to their bug reports and feature requests? It's been a while since the Stack&nbsp;Exchange team last had an iOS or Android developer, and the development job on the apps have not had any insights for years.  That, however, doesn't deny the fact that there are still many users to them. As a consequence, people are continuing to submit bug reports and sometimes feature requests about them.  If development on iOS/Android apps has ceased indefinitely, what should we do to their bug reports and feature requests?  Are we going to keep them with the hope that development on apps will resurrect one day, or just ignore them and telling users that development has frozen?
