Cool idea!

I'm not sure I could use it. The paranoid part of me will always imagine it copying 'rm -rf /' and me accidentally pasting that into a terminal one day

Don’t a lot of systems have built in protection against that now so that a user is forced to confirm?

A troll? The author is a hypocrite and I'm calling her out. The words above came directly from her article. And yes, I did read the entire thing.

If you don't see anything wrong with what she said/did, I feel sorry for you.

Cursory posts -- whether they're posted by trolls or cynics or anyone else -- that are quickly read and just as quickly upvoted, but don't receive a thoughtful reply, tend to persuade the uninitiated.
