Actually, Data Rescue X recovers from rm just fine. If you use it directly
after the offending command, chances are you'll recover 100%.
Besides, rm -rf / doesn't so much more than throw a permission error,
because it starts at / and / cannot be rm'ed by a lowly user. Anyone silly
enough to be logged on as root and running a command like that without
knowing fully what it implies, deserves everything they get. Any other user
running any command they don't know just because an email or a web site sai=
d
so, likewise.
Still, don't try this at home.
