destroying a BURNT DVD +R Disk /w software?

[pcexpress-guy]

well.. I am back as some of you have noticed.

I just purchased a new laptop, my other one didn't make it... well actually most of my stuff had to be replaced... well months later and a few trips to the loan shark guys, and I am back up to normal. my wallet is lighter and I have three jobs now to pay for the loans that are eating my lunch.

but I must confess, I think i am addicted to destroying stuff in the microwave... not just broken stuff, but any electronic or metal kind of stuff... like right now, my old 32inch tv is making this very low level, high-pitched noise as I type(you can hear it when there are no other sounds in the room) .... boy would I love to fit that bastard in the microwave... ... just for a few seconds and that would be it for it. :P a fitting RIP for the tv. well... maybe I can put the remote in the microwave, then at least that would be half my trouble gone, yes?

btw, tdk, fujifilm, sent me replacement disks... they even replaced the one in this picture. I guess they figured some of there disks don't make it pass inspection. :P Btw, Wal-mart told me to get lost before they would call security. And best-buy thought I should bring back the burner, not the disks, next time. And I asked them all with a straight face, kinda like this ... but when I walked outside I was my butt off.

This is how you do it fans. Stick that bad boy old burner drive in the microwave for about 8 seconds. Don't use defrost mode, power up microwave at high power (1000+ watts or more would be great.) Put that class of water just below the drive (thanks for the tip) press start and back up & watch the 4 of july. Its like magic, guaranteed it won't work, it won't be recognize by the system, won't spin, won't blink, or anything else for that matter. Well one drive did nothing but blink.. it was like it was so confused it didn't know what do do. It was in pain, I think. (This was like a dog when it gets badly hit by a car, but is still alive kinda) When I realized this, that's when I had to give it another 8 second dose, to take it out of its misery. (RIP you ugly drive, you.)

But for most drives, one killer dose of 8 seconds should do it. (note some drives may make a little clicking noise and it may smell like burnt electronics for a few mins, but the method does work.) It has been tested on several drives and works 98.3%. So now you have the plan... bring popcorn and invite the kids for the show. Great fun, ask me how I know.

You ignored the warning in the owner's manual that says "Don't defeat the door interlocks and use the microwave as a hair dryer".....didn't you?

Actually, I have found that the self-cleaning feature on the newer kitchen stoves work even better for data destruction. If your PC is out of warranty and you don't want any of the data to fall into the wrong hands, the whole PC will fit.

Did you guys have a traumatic experience during potty-training?

My personal preference for destroying media is a combination of high-energy X-Ray exposure followed by incineration...

When I'm through with my PCs, I like to detonate a small tactical nuclear device in the vicinity. That way it'll be too radioactive to fall into the wrong hands. Kinda fucks up the yard though

[pcexpress-guy]

these are good ideas! but I have to stick with microwave oven at the moment. besides, my neighboor may get pissed if I dentonate nuclear device in the "back yard." I also don't have a device... ah... the good news is I am thinking about loaded up the micro with all of my remote controls.

YOU'RE the one I've been selling those pawned-off Ukrainian suitcase nukes to on eBay?!

Actually, my current method works very well...
* place small pebbles of gravel on concrete surface,
* place disc to be destroyed on top of gravel,
* run over disc with solid rubber tires on 30,000-lb forklift,
* sweep up fragments and dispose in dumpster,
* repeat as needed.

One problem with the microwave technique, is that it creates 4th of july inside the unit.

This doesn't sound like a problem, it sounds like FUN.

[pcexpress-guy]

MpegEncoder, I stand corrected... I used to think this was problem, but then I got addicted to the fast and quick method of destruction visa ve microwave oven.

It's been a long costly experience from the days when just dvd+r/-r disks were destroyed in my microwave. Now I put any kind of electronics in the thing.

It's pretty much complusive now for me. For example my friend came over to visit the other day. He had a cool color pda, with video phone attachment, etc. Poor guy left the thing on my table. When he wasn't looking(taking wiz), i just couldn't resist so... off it goes in to the microwave. I gave it a full 5 seconds. After that, it was one dead PDA. I felt bad, well maybe not.. but when the guy turn the thing on, on the way out, he said, Hum, I think my batteries are dead. I said, well... good thing that thing is under warranty, yes? he said I got it on ebay. That's when I felt for the guy. He didn't know it, but the chips were like the retarded burnt waffers, now. No chance it would ever work. :P

But that's life... sometimes you're lucky, sometimes you got a nut for friend that sticks your stuff in the microwave when ya not looking.

Mr. PCExpress-Guy,

You are a sick individual. This kind of behavior is deploring, disrespectful and downright inhumane.

Welcome to the forum! Can we interest you in some midget clown porn, or perhaps a free trial offer for an inflatable vinyl goat? And maybe you'd like to view some of mankind's more beautiful uses of E=mc^2 while your at it?

You're one sick bitch You'd better hope your friend doesn't read this (after all, how many people would really put a friend's PDA in their microwave for no apparent reason ...besides you) and come over and defrost your ass in the microwave
BTW, welcome, and you'll fit right in here

[pcexpress-guy]

Hey thanks!

Midget Clown porn you say? What volume, I have vol's 1,3, 4. I am missing vol 2. Ever since that porn crack down, I been hard pressed to find the thing. :P

and e=mc2 uses would be helpful, but I think that makes a mess for the yard man. speaking of the yard man, I wonder if his weed eater moter would survive a microwave oven? :P

Sick. Just plain sick. Certifiable, too.

Hey, I wonder how well polonium 210 would do in a microwave oven?

Volume 2?!? I have volume 2 .....

[pcexpress-guy]

Wow, Capmaster you have vol.2!... send it down to me. (don't send electronics though, we are having trouble keeping that stuff safe at the moment.) This is great news!!

[Capmaster]

I'll send it if you agree to get help for your problem. I already agreed to attend a support group called "CLOWN-ANON" for midget, clown, midget clown, sheep, goat and inflatable sheep, goat and clown obsessives. So did Indolikaa and Lordsmurf. If we can do it, you can too

[Roderz]

destroying a DVD +R Disk /w software? = NERO 6?

If you don't want them to look at the contents of the disk just wirte "George Bush press confrence" across the top - they wont go near it for fear of falling asleep while he tries to think of an answer.

[pcexpress-guy]

no, he won't be coming around here. You see the week before I went to his new house and to check out his new wireless network. He just purchase a new home, with of course new appliciances. So when he was out back checking on a tree and I was inside "taking a wiz," yea right... I slipped his cable modem in the micro for 7 seconds @full power. He thought it got hit by lighting, but we all know what the "rest of the story is, yes?" I mean I hate to see it happen to a good friend, but the microwave was just too tempting for the modem to resist a visit.

I see a restraining order in your future
Just don't try dry-humping a microwave ....you'll hurt yourself

problem? I thought everyone wants clown porn in their collection?! These are classics right? stuff the whole family can watch... put it right next to Sienfeld, no?

Ahhh, that makes sense. there is a problem with the microwave, but I am modifing it so it puts out twice the power. This will solve the problem of waiting so long for electronics to be fried. I am working on a mod' for the power supply to the microwave. It is three times the power. Next I will mod the microwave delivery unit... this will bring the time down by 1/2 I think. This way, I can slip things in and it can be toast faster then I can press the numbers in the keypad. (yes, I know I am working on a default, high power, single press, on program button, but that will come later.)

for now, I have guest coming over for dinner. I tell people I am a great cook, to lure them over to my house. It is also a great pretense to stay in the ketchen. Once i find new electronics laying around, they get snatched up and zap... its all history. one problem, I don't know how to cook that well... So I need to make up something... ahh.. I know, I will tell them the microwave broke and we have to order pizza. I just hope no-one thinks to call on their cell phones or use their pda's... I have a feeling about that...

[pcexpress-guy]

for me or the microwave?

I mean, its the microwave that did all of this! I was told by the "microwave" to do it. That will be my defense, ya know. 8) but they won't catch me, who would ever think of such an aqusation to make to a friend (or to the microwave)?

So, sort of overclocking the microwave ....hmmmm, might just work. Wait! I'm starting to get aroused here .....dammit, one obsession (or five ) at a time. I can't afford to turn into some socially misfit mutant fucked-up cross between a perverted Emeril and ....... count to ten ....one, two, .....

Three pages of quality posts, brought to you by dvdrhelp.com.

Where men are men, and goats are running like a bat out of Hell for France...

[pcexpress-guy]

This is the sort of thing I was looking for when i first signed up. How to destroy DVD+R. It would seem simple, but it is very hard to do efficently and to do with great fun.

What we discover here in this post is of great importance to the future of data (destruction) and to the future of the electronic world as a whole (or lack of future.)

Very important post, imo.

[indolikaa]

Yes. But did we ever decide if there WAS a software solution to destroying a burnt DVD+R disc?

I kinda lost track awhile back...

[pcexpress-guy]

Everyone said no... to a software solution. It would be a great thing... if this was so.

sidebar: (but after finding the other solution, I don't think it would be as much fun anyway at this point. gee... for fun, I recently purchased a pack of 100 brand new dvd's, put the whole spendle in the microwave, set it for 45 seconds and it was like a candle shower at fourth of july!)

the downside is my cash flow is a little low at the moment, so I will start to buy cd-r's. I can buy a few bundles of 100 a day, this is a good end to a rough day of work... 3 jobs and all...
