What's The Best Way?

[Ben Pease]

If it's a big enough magnet, that HD ain't coming back.

How about this one ?

I use my NdFeB magnet to wipe VHS cassettes completely clean and I use them again. On "Mythbusters" they used one to erase the data on a credit card.

Darknetworks, may I please ask, what is this for? Why exactly do you want to ruin your computer. I'm very curious and interested by this and I would like to have more information. PLEEEEEEZZ!!!

 

[untamedhysteria]

you could make the computer into a bomb...so when the power button is turned on it'll set you computer up in flames

if you want to know how...reply and i'll give you a video link

 

[Lacero]

Why exactly do you want to ruin your computer.

Maybe revenge against his school or his employer?

No thanks...i just want the HD to be dead not to burn the com up...

"Maybe revenge against his school or his employer?"
Nah...ntg like that...ntg illegal so not to worry....

 

[iMacZealot]

An EMP?

LOL!!!

I don't get your point of destroying your hard disk. Why don't you just unplug your computer and drop it from a four story building...

Hey, DarkNetworks, If this is just so your parents can buy you a new computer, don't destroy it. I thought about it, but in the end I kept repeating "Will you get me a G5 dad?" JK, but what I did was I paid for half of it, it's easy if you do odd chores and finally they'll give up.

I don't know if this would completely whipe your info, but do a software restore. i did that a few times on my G3 for fun and nothing ever came back.

Ohh.. destroying so you can get a new one from AppleCare?

I totally wanted to do that 3 or 4 days before my iPod was de-warrantied.

VERY strong magnets for about 2 hours should do it. Since nothing physical has happened to it, they can't "ZOMG! you ahve a .0000001 CM scratch! user damaged!!1`!!" because it's all internal.

I put way too much thought into it.

By the time I was done thinking, the warranty had up and died on me.

I'LL GET YOU ONE DAY!!

Very Strong Magnets?
I'll probally give that a try...
What happens after i do it with the magnet? i can't even boot my iBook rite?

 

[WeeShoo]

Take the Mac, and shake it violently for 5 minutes while it's on.

PS, Have like 5+ Apps open at the same time.

 

[CoMpX]

This all sounds kind of mysterious. I'm not trying to be nosy, but this all sounds kind of suspicious. Please just say why you want to ruin your iBook. We won't tell anyone, I promise. I'm just wondering what is going on because you seem to avoid every question we have about what the purpose of this is.

 

[untamedhysteria]

for real...just answer why you want to do this...everyone seems to be curious.

 

[funkychunkz]

The answer is obvious

Install Windows on it.

Thank you.

Well, I guess no one wants to be caught with an out of date computer. But it could be worse... you could have *this* one:

Haha...what were they thinking? I used to be an engineer, and even I can't fathom why in the world that computer has a giant chrome wheel on the side.

 

[aricher]

Or this one:

I'd just like to say - whilst openly admitting that I am adding nothing useful to the topic - that this is the funniest thread I've read in weeks! There really are some inventive ways to "damage" your computer.

 

[katie ta achoo]

Install Windows on it.

I love you.


HEhehe... windows...

 

[mkrishnan]

There are lots of good ways to destroy computing equipment, but most of the best ones involve a vacant lot, baseball bats, slow motion video camera footage, a couple of your best friends, and that Geto Boys song with the "back up in your *** with the resurrection" lyrics.

 

[DarkNetworks]

Install Windows on it.

If its so obvious, how can i come up to do that?
Install WINDOWS...thats pretty confusing...

 

[grizzlybrice]

I've been told by a computer guy when my PC laptop HD took a dive and wasn't worth anything anymore is that a good ol' 357 magnum though the center generates a really pretty flower...

heh.

Hmmm...install Windows...hmmm...install windows...hmmm...so if my computer has windows, I can see the files that are inside the computer? *picks up computer, rattles and tries to see inside, and then throws down on floor*

 

[CoMpX]

Oh my god!!! Can you PLEASE tell us what you are doing this for??? You just keep avoiding all of our questions!

LMAO that is the funniest thing i have read all day ^_^

 

[pdpfilms]

I second the magnet movement. But seriously... WHY????

 

[mkrishnan]

Oooh, I have another idea.

Two words: Giant Slingshot.
