Not sure why there's so much discussion here....
BTW, you will be amused to hear I wiped a drive for someone a few years
ago via the (wipe|shred) /dev/hda method. 25 passes of patterns and
random data. No way any government could get that data back. Doubtful
that aliens could get it either. And the person still keeps the drive
in a secure location. Yes, some people are paranoid.
Jeez, seems a sledge hammer would make more sense...
You do speak of that which you do not know.
I want to wipe information belonging to me off of a drive
belonging to someone else. Hammering someone else' drive
is not an acceptable measure.
Also, I want to wipe someone else' information off my currently
used disc, in such a way they can be assured it is truly
gone.
Hammering my own disc is not an acceptable measure, either.
Try geting some context before jumping in next time, ok?

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
