Extracting a stuck CD

[sawyl]

Made the mistake of inserting a combined DVD/CD into my computer only to discover that it was too fat and didn't want to eject itself. After trying a handful of things to get it out again I was forced to resort to a combination of hard and soft methods: drutil tray eject and a pair of tweezers. Fortunately, I was able to rip the contents of the CD side of the disc and I've no intention of letting it come anywhere near the drive ever again...
