Quote of the day, while arguing with Support Guy.
"C'mon man, it's a bug - it violates customer expected behaviour."
"It's not a bug, and I don't *care* what the customer expects. The fucking *customer* expects our software to give him a blowjob and make him fucking coffee, but it's not ever going to."
" Oh. I thought that was slated for the next release ..."
...

He wasn't serious.

thank the goddess for BIG STONKING DISKS

So Ben, last night, painstakingly dd'd the entire 18 gig /usr partition from fatcat, 2 gig at a time (file size limitations), over *5* hours onto another drive.

I'm now running strings over it. And may be for days. And I may not get much of it back.

But there's hope :)
