Now let us compile the source without the code at all.

A terminal should only do anything when the user types something and presses enter, and then it should only do what the user told it to do. The idea that it goes off to the network unasked is beyond invasive.

But good move. The idea of a terminal tracking my typings and commands is pretty scary stuff, especially if I'm going to use this thing for security sensitive sessions.
