[satire] There are rumours that recovery is possible, unless the HDD
wasn't 38 times overwritten at full moon and/or in Stonehenge or inside
of the Great Pyramid of Giza, with the chars of the lyrics of the Sailor
Moon song. You only need to use your magnetic force microscope and a
little bit of time to take a look at the magnetic particles that
represent a single bit of the few bits a several hundred GiB HDD
contains. [/satire]
