 There are a couple. First you could molest your disks using a magnet. This
is very rude. Secondly you could use an eraser. We use a device like this on
the computer centre where I work, and someone was able to erase about 10
tapes in one go. (Imagine how many disks would fit in the same place as 10
tapes!)
 If you are very rude you can start to erase the disk (from the finder) and
use a paperclip to get the disk out before the Mac has finished erasing
it. The latter will give a different warning when you reinsert the disk
though. The first methods will say 'This disk is unreadable', the latter
will say 'This is not a Macintosh disk'.

 I personally vote for the eraser method.

 Ernst.
