Magnets on CDs - Page 2

I doubt a Magnet is going to do anything. Perhaps there is some software that you can setup to "burn" over data, but most software will try to stop you from doing that. I think warping the CD with heat, or exposing it to UV rays is the best way to do it with little visible faults.

You could always zap it in the microwave for a couple of seconds and you get a pretty blue light show.

Man, start some cracks radiating out from the centre. It'll break apart as it spins and make rather a mess!

Also a magnet will never do anything to a CD.

You could try an EMP Missile but youre likely to take out your own stuff aswell

If it was about those old disks, 3 and a half I think you call those, then yes, the magnet would undoubtedly ruin them. CDs however, are written on differently. There's a bunch of microscopic holes burnt into them, meaning basically 1s and 0s, this makes a stream of information that your computer or cd player interprets and reproduces as data or sound. Floppies however, are magnetic. Bam.

If you really wanna be mean, scratch a magnet on her computer's motherboard and disks, that should effectively ruin those. Magnets, ahhh.

You're a mean girl by the way, and this smells of cat fight meowrrr fffft.

If she has her own computer, there are all kinds of way we can have fun with it.

scrape off the thermal grease between the cpu and the heatsink, install a process that constantly eats up all her system resources, hold a lighter under a capacitor on her motherboard, delete a few strategic windows or personal files, give here a little adware, stick a wire in the heatsink fan to stop it from spinning, install a key logger so you can break all her passwords, and if you really want to get evil... pop off the power supply molex connecter to her hard drive and swap the wire around. When she turns on her computer, she'll fry half her computer including all her data. Oh boy, I'm getting giddy just thinking about it all.

That would work for the hard drive but you would need a pretty powerful magnet.

Oh Mira, my opinion of you just shot into the stratosphere.

I'm big on sneaky sabotage. Can you get into her computer?

Catbert · 06-11-2006, 07:41 AM

Of course, there's always the possibility in the middle you two will kiss each other.

Dasilva · 06-11-2006, 07:59 AM

You could just take the pin out of her harddrive so it wouldent be slave or master. Now thats evil.

Karmillo · 06-11-2006, 08:03 AM

OH! Install Bonzi Buddy on her comp

About that CD, maybe you could use a hairdryer on it for a few minutes. I'm not sure how subtle it would be, but probably more so than a microwave or scissor scratch. Try not to breathe it in, though. I'm pretty sure melted plastic is a toxic kind of vapor.

If she has a car or something else that uses a key, jam toothpicks into the lock and break off the ends enough so they can't be pulled out easily.

Maybe you could peruse the local police station or something and see if there are any photos of "most-wanted" people matching her description. Then give the police an anonymous tip as to her location, preferably someplace public (so it's more humiliating if other's see her snatched up, and also so they don't destroy the front entrance to your home in case your "most wanted" person was really nasty).

Download lots of animal porn onto her computer. If she asks, say you think she must have caught a computer virus.

Find out her login and password for any and all of her instant message programs or forum accounts (if you're lucky, she might have them set to login automatically, doing the work for you). Talk dirty to everybody on her buddy list, as well as complete strangers who are twice her age.

She does that all the time.

Then be nice and friendly and use polite euphemisms while you're pretending to be her, and spell correctly. That'll show her.

Karasu · 06-12-2006, 02:13 AM

If you want absolute destruction, simply sandpaper the CD. It's not subtle, but it works.

As for the computer, removing the CPU is a cost-effective way of getting her, or install the incorrect drivers for her monitor (it may blow the monitor, and they cost A LOT).

bysmitty · 06-12-2006, 01:33 PM

You can remove the CPU but it would be pretty obvious when she takes it someplace to get fixed. I'm sure she'd be able to pick out the culprit without much trouble and there is also legal concerns with possible theft charges.

Incorrect monitor drivers wont' do anything at all. There is no harm to any screen no matter what driver is used. Anyways, if Windows has an issue using a monitor driver, it will automatically resort back to the default one.

Causing overheating issues or system instability is a much more subtle and devilish course of action. Something along the lines of unplugging the machine while flashing the bios or giving her a bad overclock.
