Most DVD drives can read both CD-R and DVDs. However, CD-ROM drives, which were designed before DVDs became standard, cannot read DVDs.

Generally speaking, yes. However, this is not always the case. The drive in the Nintendo Wii, for instance, is fully capable of reading DVDs, but it cannot read CDs at all.

You need to disable CD/DVDRom emulators before running the game. Programs such as Daemon tools, Alcohol 120%, as well as many others have been abused for illegal software copying, so some games will search for and detect this software and refuse to run if it finds it, to prevent it's piracy.

If you win the Masters you get a lifetime invitation. It used to be you could play well past the date that you could play competitively, but recently they've leaned on some older players to not do that. The oldest winners get the honor of teeing off first, but they pick up after their drives and don't try to play the whole round.

What is the theme of love and marriage in a midsummer nights dream?

Well the play starts with Theseus planning their wedding and ends with the entertainment at that same wedding. In scene 1 we see a court hearing over Hermia's marriage and Demetrius's; in the last scene we see the entertainment at their separate weddings. Love is what drives the two young couples into the woods, is the effect of the herb Love-in-idleness, the subject of the play Pyramus and Thisbe, the issue of the relationships between Theseus and Hippolyta, Oberon and Titania, Hermia and Lysander and Demetrius and Helena. Love is what drives all of the plots of the play, and even the play-within-the-play.
