Description
Any one-way commands should be accompanied with ways to undo them.
For example, [disabling Notification Center](https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/blob/master/.osx#L111).
I also came across [this](https://github.com/alexferreira/dotfiles/blob/master/osx_restore.sh), which attempts to restore things like this.
