I hate the finnish keyboard layout (Score 4, Funny)

Typing the tilde character on a finnish keyboard is just plain stupid. You have to first hold AltGr and press a key to the left to enter, underneath backspace, then release both keys and press space. Insanity!

Ok, I've just finished installing Linux on a fresh hard drive and have spent a few hours editing stuff in /etc using my favourite editor joe. The editor creates backup files everytime it overwrites a file, naming them as the original filename with a tilde appended. I wanted to quickly remove all the backup files so I typed

rm -f *~

But curses, my caffeine-overloaded fingers were too quick to hit that spacebar and I ended up with

rm -f * ~

AARGH! There goes BOTH /etc AND root's home directory. Damn you whoever came up with the finnish keyboard layout!
