dd stands for disk destroyer.

It's a true Unix tool: it does one thing really well and it's up to the user to not fuck it up. Always double check the if= and of= before you hit enter on a dd! That's how power works and I'd rather have power over my computer than have it be the other way around.

Yes, I've fucked up a few dd commands over the years. Lessons learned.
