Unix paranoid hippies

I love how inconsistently paranoid Unix people are. They won't include "." in the path or make ssh/scp commands which accept passwords as commandline arguments, and are so anal about these kind of things all the time, yet their cp, mv, etc. will so happily crush files without prompt by default.

Oh fuck off. I use cp, mv mostly in automated scrips. If I want fuckin comfirmation I can supply the parameters manually or define some alias. For example, I have copy, move and remove defined as aliases so that they ask for confirmation when used manually.
