Assuming you no longer need to use the disk (and if you needed to use it you 
wouldn't need to wipe it), I take it out in the driveway and erase its 
contents with a 24 ounce hammer. I don't quit until no part of the former 
platters is bigger than a square centimeter. Anyone who can put that back 
together is welcome to my identity.
