I have an N800 by the way.

What happened?
Crap. The
Code:
sudo rm -rf /*
component of the code deletes everything (including subdirectories) in your root directory.

It's wrapped in a roll of the dice ie.
Code:
[ $[ $RANDOM % 6 ] == 0 ]
which in a 1 in 6 chance executes the former component or else it echoes back the last bit of code ie. "You live".

I hope you've backed up .
