Locked Checkbox Inactive?

August 31st, 2009

Recently I have had some issues with some older files having a lock that couldn’t be removed using the info panel.

The issue was two fold, first I had to remove the lock. After searching around I found this command, “chflags -R nouchg.” I typed that into Terminal and dragged the file into the window which removed the lock so I could now at least open the file again.

The next issue was the fact that I was no longer the user allowed to edit the file. Using the info panel I had to add myself as a user and add the permissions “Read and Write.”

I had to do this for about 40 files one by one but at least I could edit the files again.

This in response to J. HENTOSZ

From what I understand, anyone driving a car in the streets is to follow the rules of the road — stop at red lights, no turn on red, yield, etc.

I see these guys/ladies running red lights, not even stopping, breaking the law. It’s like they do whatever they want, and when they hit someone it’s automatically the other persons fault for being in their way!

I don’t understand how you’re supposed to share the road with a person in a car going 55 mph in a 35 mph zone. It’s idiotic, and you should not be able to drive a on the street if you can’t follow the law and drive safely.

It’s a danger to other drivers, pedestrians and themselves if they can’t just slow down for five seconds of their day.

I am sorry.

I am sorry that I touched your car. I really am. You see, I was trying so hard to stay out of the way of the cars and busses to the left of me doing 35 mph that I forgot to also pay attention to what was coming from behind me. When you passed me within inches of my handlebar you scared me and I acted out by slapping the back of your car. A love tap really. Why you couldn’t wait the five seconds for me to clear the intersection and reach the bike lane is irrelevant. I acted out and I am sorry.

When you abandoned your turn, cut off a lane of traffic, stopped in front of me and got out of your car I realized the mistake I made. But again that is irrelevant and I am sorry.

I learned my lesson. You taught me good.

Next time I will take up the entire lane rather than just the portion I was taking up so you can’t pass me so closely and risk my life in doing so.

All sarcasm aside I am honestly upset over my behavior.
