The best use is to pot it in wax and donate it to a time capsule.

I dunno Jim -- if the memories are that painful, wouldn't it be better
to
pot it in clear epoxy? Reduces the chances of someone chipping it out,
y'know.

There are technologies you purposely leak to your enemies, or future
alien invaders, to set them back a generation. For us it was the
Fairchild semiconductors that the Russians surreptitiously bought for
their ICBMs.

My nephew toured a military nuclear facility of some sort in Idaho; he
was told by one of the guides that for the really _hard_ problems they'd
convince the Russians that we were close to a breakthrough, wait two
years, then steal the technology.
