Wax the surface of the disc - a decent carnauba car wax works fine. This fills in a lot of the minute surface scratches. It's improved the playability a lot of discs I had that were badly scratched.

Too Many Passwords

I have to remember at least two PIN numbers for my job, then at least four safe combinations, and then countless computer passwords. It's ridiculous. This sort of thing actually encourages worse security, because there is NO way I am going be using a different password on every account, so I use the same one on every box. Whenever I am forced to "change the password" I switch to password B. Then the next time, it's back to password "A". And don't get me started on the "must be at least ten characters, use random numbers, letters, at least one capital letter and special character" crap.
Violating copyright is illegal. If you don't like it, change the laws.
This argument is bogus, as it is the massive corporations and their pocket congressmen that make and change the laws. They do not have the interest of the consumer in mind.

Does this mean I'll have to watch 5 minutes of ads before I can start studying? Just what I need, popup ads with calculus, someone hang me already!
