Really offtopic now... (was Re: Disposing of an old computer securely)

[Joel Dudley]

He he, I still have some thermite that I made when I worked in the chemistry
store room back in college. If I remember correctly,

1/3 alluminum oxide
2/3 iron oxide
a whole ton of potassium permanganate
magnesium strip fuses.

Thermite does not explode really, but it will just turn your hard drive into
molten goo. That should do the trick.  Ok, this is way off topic and I
apologize.  I will resist these urges in the future. My first contribution
to open pyro

Note: The above is given in jest. Chemicals and explosives are dangerous and
most likely fatal. Please do not attempt to build the above thermite bomb
without protection and/or adult supervision if you are under the age of 18.
Do not construct a thermite bomb with the intent to do harm to anyone or
property that is not your own.

Oh sure, but how many are on SourceForge? OK, who's up for forming the
OpenPyro initiative?
