There's a small crack/dent in the wall by my door where it got kicked by accident. What's my best bet on fixing it? I don't need it to be perfect, but good enough to not be obvious. I've uploaded a few pics. My initial thoughts were to throw some spackle over the crack/hole, smooth it over, and then paint. Or should I just be trying to find someone to pay to do this? Thanks!

I live in the Central District in Seattle and see crack being dealt on a daily basis. About 15 guys hang outside of a local gas station at a bus stop, at a major intersection at certain times of the day, and are criminally blatant about it (i.e. visibly exchanging drugs for money, counting money). How is this permitted to happen? [more inside]

Some months ago I dropped my Titanium PowerBook, and cracked the case on the lighter-coloured surround of lower case. The damage is only cosmetic, it has continued to work flawlessly since, with some sticky tape over the crack.

The tape is beginning to wear out, however, and instead of re-applying it, I thought of just glueing the crack together. What glue would work?
