Reviving a dead DI524 router

Well, I was ploughing through the GPL'd source code of the firmware for my router as a bored person would do on the holidays. I was hoping to find a exploit somewhere on my router (the DI524 runs Linux) so I could run SSH and do some other interesting things with the router.

Recovering data from a CD

Well, I thought, I'd share a little something I discovered today while trying to recover a movie from a badly scratched CD. When the disc you're trying to recover from is a CD (not a DVD), you'll recover more if you use a CD-ROM drive instead of a DVD drive.
