oops

Today I was trying to move a file into the home directory of the current user, like this:

# mv /home/otheruser/somefile ~

Interestingly enough, after doing this for the last 15 years, I fat-fingered it like this:

# mv /home/otheruser/somefile !

CRAP!
Guess what, my file was deleted.
Btw, Mac OSX doesnt behave like this. I assume *BSD, Solaris and other high-quality systems dont as well. Pooor Linux.
