[PLUG] Re: delete unusual file name


Goldberg Editions:

Corrupt the inodes and fsck the filesystem.

Take a hex editor to your raw device and hack away.

Copy all the files... EXCEPT that file, manually... to another disk.

Fill the disk to capacity, and then run the bad script again... you'll create
a zero-length file.  Then find . -empty -exec rm {} \;.

Bring your computer to Best-Buy and ask them to fix it for you.

Put the disk in a hot-air balloon, send it up for a few months; gamma rays
might take care of the data (see #1 above).

Call Dogbert's tech support line.
