Most of the time I don't want or need to see all the hidden files in finder, and obviously neither does Mr. "Imagine if I was a novice user...yikes! "
For those times that I do, It's quite easy with something like this in your .bashrc:
alias finderhide='defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE ; killall Finder'
alias findershow='defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE ; killall Finder'
I gotta admit, that's pretty sound logic: "i don't need a usr folder, I already have a Users folder!"
My question for the experts:
Couldn't Apple change the permissions folder of the root directory, maybe to something like rwxr-xr-x? Would this cause problems? Because it would have prevented this one.
