They're not bad, just not horribly creative.
You could do one of those floating walls like those made with beads in the 70's.
You remember seeing those? <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Microwave.
You could wallpaper a wall in your room, with only the shiny burn-able sides of the discs showing.
or
You could write the name of the latest popular game or office software on the disc, tie the CD to a fishing line, and leave it as bait to see what gamers/office coworkers try to grab it as you pull it away
that happened to my starcraft cd inside my CD drive

More like write "HARDCORE Pr0N!11" on it and do the fishing idea.
Tape the results = BRILLIANCE!
Edit: Or walk around with a jacket of them with "Warez" written on them and see if any government men tackle you.

heres an idea... throw them away!
Nope that failure was due to scale, and their target was too far. The scale that they built that thing meant that they had a lower margin for error which, with their building style, means many mirror alignment errors. The distance of their target was also quite far for a solar concentrator. The light rays had to travel pretty far which with their alignment errors means they could not concentrate the full power of their solar collector on the target.

Solar Furnace - Odellio, France
It can achieve temperatures up to 33,000 degrees Celsius.
Granted, that is a professional job, but hobbyists can join in the fun too and <a href='http://www.solardeathray.com/' target='_blank'>burninate</a> <a href='http://www.solardeathray.com/vader.html' target='_blank'>Darth Vader</a> (or <a href='http://www.solardeathray.com/aol.html' target='_blank'>AOL cds</a> if you swing that way). Hmm.. looks like a NZ'er has built a SDR with a focal point of about a meter. Now THAT could conceivably be used as a weapon. Given that your nemesis is willing to stand in one place until he burns anyway. But then again this solar death ray has almost twice the power of the SDR featured on that site so...
<a href='http://media.dsc.discovery.com/fansites/mythbusters/application/application.html' target='_blank'>Lookie</a> what google uncovered! Too bad the NZ guy's Solar Death Ray only goes to 1 meter. If he could have built it to 1.5 meters, he could take this. Oh, and theres the pesky matter of being in NZ and not bein an American.
