Heck yeah. Irix, was it? SGI actually used to have that graphic interface as a free download on their website, but it's now a dead link. That film was one of my favourites as a kid. Watching it again, after being more familiar with computers, looking at that Irix screen and recognizing folder names, you can see... oh yeah, it really is "a unix system."

Any kind of offsite backup would be the simplest (not always cheapest) guarantee that if somebody is vindictive enough to nuke your DB, you can recover all or most of it easily (and I've actually seen this happen). But you may want to look at this from a wider perspective and think what it is it you can possibly do that would drive somebody to become so vindictive. Now avoid doing it. When admins go rogue, something has usually driven to that. Generally, if people are treated with respect, even if they are being let go from a position, this is enough to ensure that they don't become vindictive.

I would LOVE for cbc.ca to pick up on this. The comments on cbc.ca usually serve to accomplish little but expose rampant prejudice and ignorance across Canada. I swore off reading the comments after an actor from my hometown was shot in Mumbai and was interviewed in the hospital where he was recovering. A commenter criticized him have "hamming up" the interview.
