Put it into a stable orbit that is. The idea of crashing it into Jupiter just doesn't seem right to me. It does have a CDROM with hundreds of thousands of names on it after all (mine included). It should be the goal of NASA to one day recover every probe sent into space, and bring them safely back to Earth. Whether it takes 20 years or 200 years.
