Got a DVD or CD that has sensitive data on it? Need to get rid of it? Breaking it is one option, But You can also place your DVD/CD's (couple at a time, not touching each other or on top of each other) on a glass plate and pop them in a Microwave oven for 5-10 seconds and watch the light show Be careful, the disk is hot and toasty when done

it very well can damage the microwave - if it sparks from the coating it can peirce a hole in the cavity, which = radiation 
even small sparks! :S
