    Should FrothyChimp Come back?

    Actually, if I remember correctly more than one long time member called him on it. I want to say C0ld did too but it doesn't interest me enough to bother looking up the thread or the various other posts about frothy leaving to verify. Yes, I am sure not many people would miss me... or...

    Laser mythology.....

    I learned about beam divergence when I was in grade school and a science text book described the Laser Ranging Retroreflector experiment on the moon. Before that, I also believed a laser beam always stayed the same diameter and just lost power the further away the lased object was. Edit: Ah, I...

    Should FrothyChimp Come back?

    Frothy was on his way out the door well before he blew up in that thread. He had posted his intense dislike of the new forum format in a couple threads and had made comments that he was not happy overall. The linked blowup was just his own anger getting the best of him and regardless of his...

    DIY Home Laser Security System

    I know, I know, you can buy these for a song but I want to build my own...because I feel I have the ability to do so and just the 'coolness' factor of doing it myself and having it work is worth the time and effort for me. In any case here is why I am posting. I have the First/front side...

    anyone else run into this?

    I just took the attitude, it is my hobby and I don't care what other's think. I surround myself with people who enjoy the same things I do and ignore the rest who pish-posh my hobbies. For those that I can't just ignore (parents) I just don't talk about my hobby or share it with them. I...

    Help me pick the right one!

    I wouldn't risk beaming in a club. All it takes is someone to get irritated and complain and you're bounced (and possibly your pointer taken). All it takes is a drunk guy pissed that you beamed him and/or his date and then you have problems of another sort. Heck, a bouncer or some club...

    So just how visible are lasers from a distance?

    Dumb hick question, as I live in a fairly backwater community in the great wastes of North Dakota (even though it is our largest city in the state, it barely equals up to a suburb of any major metro area in the US).... Wouldn't a person just be asking for trouble if they used their laser...

    O-Like may not be getting my business again.

    Oh I have no doubt they are excellent given their track-record here. I'm just disappointed with my first order with them but I am rational enough to understand everyone makes mistakes and some people are doing these sales as a hobby and not a main business so a little slack is required. I...

    Don't buy from Stone Tek......

    Oh, I didn't know that but then his website doesn't state it is a side business. Well that's cool for him to do and I can see NOW why people are coming down on the OP. In the OP's defense he didn't know this when he purchased from Greg and like myself, didn't know that Greg was doing this as...

    Don't buy from Stone Tek......

    I'm not going to touch on what you posted to the OP (or about the OP) except to say that I already pointed out that if Greg wants to run StoneTec as a real company, he needs to plan for situations like that. I already pointed out one example in how he can do that. This was a one-off situation...

    Don't buy from Stone Tek......

    Greg is a friend of many here so there is going to be a lot of people talking with tinted glasses. The fact is this: The kid paid money. Greg took the money. Kid waited a week and didn't get an email or anything telling him there would be a delay. Kid e-mailed Greg and waited 3 more days...

    O-Like may not be getting my business again.

    Annoyed with O-like's processing time... Edit: Got the laser today and I was quite happy with it. The shipping time was great, the laser is great, the packaging was stellar. Just annoyed at how long it took to fill the order. Now that I know to expect a 2 week delay before they process the...

    DONT lase your monitor.

    G.I. Joe....Go Joe! /many a Saturday mornings were spent at 6am watching G.I. Joe as a child On topic: Ouch. Well good lesson and point taken. On that thought, I wonder what a laser would do to a CRT monitor or TV. Say....that gives me an idea. I've got a few 14-15" monitors around here...

    where to buy laser beam visualizer spray?

    Google search would be a good idea if you know the name of the product. If you know the technical name of what the product is, that could help as well.

    High Powered lasers on Amazon.com

    Disclaimers wouldn't protect Amazon from legal action. If they have a disclaimer but allow a listing of illegal goods (let us take an extreme and unlikely example...) like POT, Amazon can get it's butt sued off by the Government (and probably shut down all together in the US). Just like...

    High Powered lasers on Amazon.com

    It makes one wonder why the double standard. Here's what I mean. Amazon is just listing the lasers, but the vendors are the ones supplying the lasers. The FDA isn't going after Amazon for listing the lasers or asking them to remove any listing of the lasers, or even telling Amazon they can...
