Subject: [BLUG] How do you like to get rid of terminal corruption?


You know, disk encryption, 16 character multiclass passwords that I
rotate every week, firewalls that require my approval for every packet,
that was never really enough for me. Something was missing, so I
decided to learn a binary character set and use it on nearly everything.

Now even the causual over the shoulder gawker won't know what I'm doing
or who owns files.

Ok, just kidding. I'm curious though, how do you usually like to get
rid of terminal corruption? Do you just close the terminal or are you
daring and try to reverse it by cat'ing out /dev/urandom or /dev/sda?
Sometimes I'll try cat'ing /dev/urandom, but something makes me think
that its dangerous to do that. Anyone know?
