Thats why one should never be signed in as root when tired. :-)
How about: rm * .o <GULP!>
You can always set up an alias or a script to shift things through
a "recycle bin" kind of place if you wanted, but, I tend to frown
on that sort of thing, lest one become too accustomed to it.
Personally, I have a problem with trashing databases:
DELETE FROM foo
Grrrrr!!! %^!@#! L-shaped !@^%#@! enter key!!!
Yep.. That got me once with DB2 and an L-shaped enter key. (man
I hate those keyboards)
