Seem okay. Meh, I don't really like IR diode lasers. The beam is invisible so they're pretty much only for burning and hard to focus. You absolutely MUST wear safety goggles. -Tony

For the past few months "A Song of Ice and Fire" has occupied my life. I finally finished the first four books and coincidentally his fifth book of the series has just come out. Another 1000 pages of insanity begins! -Tony

Considering how big the universe is, or even the size of galaxies, the speed of light isn't very fast; around the world almost 10 times in one second. Even at this speed a journey to the nearest earth-like planet is 20 years away. The fastest man made object is the Voyager probe which recently...

Yeah I noticed that too. It's best to use distilled water. Nice looking crystal. Gallium has a very unique crystal structure. If you put a dab of it on some aluminum it'll alloy with it and make a very weak "mushy" like alloy. Then if you put that alloy in water you create hydrogen gas as the...

Hey Ray! I'm Archerx66 over on HBF. lol Check this out. It's pretty interesting. jlJNsRZ4WxI -Tony

Nice! I've been messing around with it all day. LOL Was you're nice and pure? Mine had a ton of grey gallium oxide building up on the outside. It seems like the oxide layer will dissolve away in hot water and leave behind the pure gallium, add ice before you take it out of the water. Its a...

Hey Jeff, did you ever end up buying any gallium? I just got 40 grams of the stiff on eBay today. It's pretty cool to play around with. -Tony

That's good to hear man. This forum needs guys like you. I'm the same way. In 2005 I got letter from the FDA giving me hell about the 62mW green laser I bought from LaserGlow. It was a headache. Eventually I just returned the damn thing. Since then I've never imported a >5mW laser except...

Game of Thrones was soooooo good!!!!!! They followed the book very well IMO. -Tony

You guys act like this is the only forum that is having this problem. Believe me I've been a member for years on 5 different forums and they all have this shift in community. Simply put it's not the progression of the hobby that is causing all this negativity, it's a shift in societal traits...

That one is new to me! Haha!! Haha!!! Yeah I've seen that before. -Tony

I'm a huge fan of YouTube, but it's sooo much more than watching fails and cat videos. I've found a bunch of really cool channels related to the things I like, particularly science and electronics. If you're a nerd like me you'll love these. Science & Electronics: Afrotechmods YouTube -...

Very cool! Let us know how you like it! -Tony

Yeah I think I want to buy a used one. The high quality supplys are built like tanks and will work great even if there a few years old. I really don't need something super fancy but some of these cheaper Chinese supplys have terrible power-on overshoot and the pots are poor quality. If you...

Hey bro which did you end up going with, do you like it? I'm in the same boat as you. I'm looking for a nice one with out breaking the bank. Maybe 120-140$ tops. -Tony

Please tell me thats not you in your pajamas. LOL! -Tony

Hahaha!!! They're begging to get sued now. -Tony

Wow! I literally laughed out loud when I saw this. This aught to piss off Lucas for sure, and soon Kipkay will be giving some away in exchange for subs. If this isn't a sign that WL considers their gilded crap as toys aimed towards kids I don't know what does. LOL!!! -Tony

Check the first post. I've attached a zip of the game I made.:na: I've made some updates, and fixed the bug. It may seem simple, but it was actually complicated as hell! :eg: -Tony
