Mac OS X Killed My Folder! Date: 2007-01-29 17:17:38
Until now I didn't realize the behavior of OS X when copying a folder to a location that already contains a folder with the same name actually results in the complete and irrevocable annihilation of the original folder's contents! How stupid is that? Even the Unix "cp" command isn't that dumb! Heck, even Windows isn't that dumb!
Finally, other people start to notice the epic dumbness behind this!

You know, the Unix cp command is one of the most sophisticated copy commands around.

Yes, I actually like cp, too. I was just referring to its age when I said that. If only people could, you know, learn from the past or something ;-)
Funny, UI-wise the Mac copy function is the coolest I've seen so far...
