In fact I believe permissions are necessary and useful, but that doesn't mean that Apple's implementation can't be criticised. Permissions got in my way a few times and at that point the OS is little help on how to fix the problem.

On an HFS volume the file is actually called "What/does/he/mean?". Depending on the API the OS switches between colon and slash in the way OreoCookie describes.
