[ale] little math

[Jim Kinney]

Use the existing chunk of random data as a source. Now write a random length
of that source with some math done on it using another random length. Mix in
some random inversions and reversals and some overwrites of the existing
data and continue untill the drive is full.

Yeah, what he said.  Plus, open 4 or 5 terminals and run simultaneous
dd instances, with each reading the same ~/random.file and writing to
new unique file names.   You could wipe a 1TB drive in abt 2 hours
that way if you throw some for-loops or while statements in there.
