    um this is just a thought but what about sticking one into a forge and then beating the shit out of it with a slege hammer?

    the thought came to me yeasterday while i was at my blacksmithing class

        I saw that done on the Discovery Channel, there was still readable data on the HD.
        I enjoy talking to myself...it's usually the only intelligent conversations I get to have.

            i'm sure you could pull data off a rock.... but its not gonna mean anything. at the "forge" level, i'd feel safe that the data will lack enough structure to actually mean anything

                Hmmm, the most creative thing I could come up with is:

                Cover the entire surface of the platter with peanut butter and place it next to a Tesla coil

                    and what would coveringit with peanut butter do?

                            well, as we all know, penut butter contains magnetically charged particles of iron, when the penut butter is exposed to the tesla coils, it ignites, turning into a thermite like substance and vaporizes the drive platter.

                                That's third party. BSD *still* doesn't have anything that is native or part of its tools. Linux does on the other hand.

                                    FreeBSD has Bestwipe (bcwipe) in its ported apps collection that you can install any time.

                                    Or is that not considered part of its tools? I'm not sure the game we are playing.
