3. Q1(*) Sascha Ring better known by his stage name _______ is a German
electronic musician. His music has been used in film and television. X was
used in the French trailer of Rust and Bone, the trailer of Prisoners (2013),
in a climactic scene in the Season 4 finale of Breaking Bad, the episode
"Broken Home" in Nikita, in "Kaltstart," an episode of Tatort in 2014, in a
2014 theatrical trailer for The Drop and in the first released trailer for
Taken 3. It was also occasionally used by Bonobo as an opening for his

9. Q3 The command that had been run was most likely ârm -r -f *â, whichâroughly speakingâ
commands the system to begin removing every file below the current directory. This is
commonly used to clear out a subset of unwanted files. Unfortunately, someone on the
system had run the command at the root level of the X project and the system was
recursively tracking down through the file structure and deleting its way out like a worm
eating its way out from the core of an apple. Thatâs when the panicked call was made to the
machine room where the main server was located and the instruction given to just yank the
power and network connection of the server. 90% of the movie had been deleted by the
stray command. Pixar, at the time, did not continuously test their backups. This is where the
trouble started, because the backups were stored on a tape drive and as the files hit 4
gigabytes in size, the maximum size of the file was met.
Finally after everybody had lost all hope of recovering the movie an employee claimed to
have backups on her machine at her home and thatâs how the movie was recovered.
Name the movie.
