As annoying as the MAC interface is, it isn't even close to as annoying as
MAC zealots. Try explaining focus follows mouse to mac-heads, first they
don't know what it is, then they go into denial that the mac can't do it,
then they declare that only an idiot would want such a thing.

I gotta agree with this. Freebsd's package manager and openbsd's
package management are both superior in
execution and design. Compared to any of the linux tools, including
RPM, apt-get, or Gentoo's, it's not even close.

In newer versions, rm does this behavior by default, without being

In this case, you'll need to unset rmstar to get rm to not annoy you.
