You may have a tarball you wish to open, named, say,
Foo-Bar-0.1.tar.gz. If you double-click it, it expands to a folder
called, predictably, Foo-Bar-0.1. However, if you then double-click it
again (without removing the first expanded folder), it produces a
folder called... Foo-Bar-0.2. Again? Foo-Bar-0.3. Yes, Mac OS X has
decided to increment the version numbers on your downloaded software.
In the old Mac OS, you'd get folders called "Copy of Foo-Bar-0.1" and
"Copy 2 of Foo-Bar-0.1", etc. Whoever replaced this behavior with the
current braindead one is a goddamn moron.
