Destroying CD's How?

[vifferman]

i tried that last week... it just shot across the carpark :disapint:

Which is why I suggested incorporating the skeet-shooting into this activity. You shoot them across the carpark, while others womp 'em.

Ill womp Ill womp

Sell them to truckies so they can place them across their truck dash to 'absorb' the radar rays and hence avoid getting speed tickets! l.o.l. x 10 !

LOL. i thought exactly the same thing! was gonna say boy racers though

[aff-man]

Sell them to HD owners as "custom shiny bits" for thier bikes.
I agree with the fairing idea all it would invoulve is a couple hundred cd's, a soldering iron and a hell of a lot of time.

Get the old apoxy out and apoxy them to a wall/floor of your local parking area, shiny side out of course.

believe it or not some government depts actually have machines to destroy cds. A mate of mine works at the dept of foreign affairs and u put the cd into a machine and it puts lots of little indents in the cd.


would kinda take the fun out of breaking shit tho eh?

we were going to buy a cd shredder for work... i told i'd destroy them cheaper

I've managed to destroy a cd by soaking it in water (not on purpose unfortunately). I think it got in under the label and lifted it.

Othwise I'd suggest taking to both sides with a bit of sand paper. If you wanted to batch process a number of them you could probably do something interesting with a belt sander and a length of string.

When we reorganised all our finances and ditched three credit cards each, I had great fun using the hot-air gun to shrink one of mine; it ended up about a third of the size, and all the numbers sank back into the card. Unfortunately, Mrs FS wasn't happy with this and made me cut my new mutant card up as well. Then one of the banks insisted on having their credit card back.
Hot air gun is a bit slow and 'clean' though - something with more flames and smoke would be more fun.

just stack up 50 of em and get a good swing with a pick axe.

Maybe cut them up with a gas axe?

Or tape them to one of the more accident prone KB'ers on the next ride?

Or give 'em to texmo. Just being within a few metres of him should destroy them.:spudwhat:

Hey! That's actually a good idea! I'd imagine they slide quite well. It would destroy the CDs AND protect people like me (not that I've ever been on a KB ride, and I've only ever crashed within the city limits).

Well I've only had one bin, but it was on a KB ride. Not sure if that classifies me as accident prone.

I should have my arm out of a cast in around 4-5 weeks, and will be available for all your data destruction requirements after that point.

Otherwise I recall TS saying that he's binned 5 times in the last 9 months, so he might be a better bet.

Cd's make good bird chasers away. Just string them up and the reflective disc apparently resembles an eye and that chases the birds off. Hang them in a barn or shed, sell them already strung to farmers to scare off the birds from the calve sheds. Why not make some money in the process as well.

Texmo could beat them up with his latest 'toy'

and we could have fancy, musical armour!

Hey we've got a bunch of cds at work we are trying to destroy and I was wondering what brillant ideas you guys can come up with. Just scratching them doesn't work, as can still read data.

Other ideas include: microwaving, cutting up with scissors, putting a concrete mixer with some stones, etc.

Instead of destroying them why don't you get creative.

I had a lotta old CD's and turned them into a full length student mirror, but I still had more so I turned them into a disco ball, but then I still had some more so I turned them into a reflective outfit to wear at a party, but even then I still had more so I made a 1/100 model of the starship enterprise but I still had ... oh to hell with it ... pin them to a wall and use them as targets for a machine gun
