I typed "rm /tmp/ *"

And the Unix filth did it. Without moving files to trash can. And there is no way to get anything back, because WORSE IS BETTER and the the shitty Unix unlinks everything even when filesystem has enough free space. Why? Why Unix cant die and be replaced with a good OS?

The problem is that you rewrite `rm` with a safe version only when you already shot yourself. I.e. your foot is already lost.

Nope. Computer does what Unix designers requested it to do. While user requests everything to be done in a correct and safe way.

Alas Unix just doesn't know terms "correct" and "safe". Even things as simple as function rand() will shot your in the foot (see http://www.azillionmonkeys.com/qed/random.html)
