    What kind of Vacuum do you use?

    Around New Year's, we bought a Dyson DC-17 Absolute Animal refurb from Fry's for $199. It's got crazy suction power and does an excellent job. We got our carpets professionally cleaned, just before we moved in, at the end of November, and the Dyson still pulled all kinds of dirt out of the low...

    Sold/Expired WTT for or WTB DRACO

    A Surefire Titan for a Draco? Are Draco's going for premium prices, these days? That seems like a hell of a trade! I've got one that's been on my keychain, since they first came out, and I've been contemplating it's sale. The bezel recently came loose (it screws down fine, but the adhesive...

    Why a laser can be seen...

    Weird, I swear I already said thanks for the answers, and just came back to see if there were any more posts, and apparently, I never hit return, before, because my last post isn't here. So, thanks, guys, this is very helpful!

    Why a laser can be seen...

    What, no laser experts logging in? I know you're here! Ok, then answer me this: Are laser light waves similiar to radio waves in that the amplitude of the wave increases with more power, thus making it a wider/larger wave, and is that why the more powerful lasers have a thicker beam?

    Why a laser can be seen...

    I'm asking. On another forum, somebody said a laser's power doesn't have anything to do with it's visibility. I objected, using green lasers as an example, saying that lower powered ones can't be seen in day light, while higher powered ones can, thus proving power does affect visibility...

    Flashlights in TV shows and movies (Part 3)

    I just started watching Torchwood a couple of weeks ago and I notice that they alway use Maglites.

    Love at first light, What was yours?

    It was a Nuwai Nightstar 5W. I've still got it, too, but it sure is beat up! I guess, though, I could also say my dad's old Big Beam flashlight, which I was always so impressed with as a kid. I remember I used to like to get it out and show my friends or my grandma and blast them with it...

    Dumb Question about CD Ripping

    I don't remember there being any option to rip in mono or stereo. I usually just select the disc or tracks and let 'er rip. What ripping program are you using?

    Hand Polishing My Flashlight?

    Compasillo's thread link has the information you need. In the thread, you'll see mention of the Greased Lightning method, which will slowly and safely remove the anodizing without pitting the metal. You can find Greased Lightning at Walmart and many other stores that carry cleaners and degreasers.

    Do I need a new McGizmo?

    You probably just need another one.

    7D Cell Maglite???

    It's been a long time, but I believe I got it out with needle nose pliers and a flathead screw driver.

    SOS Signal

    Yeah, when I was 10 years old, I would have loved it, but now that I'm not playing hide & go seek or army with friends, on a dark street, it isn't so useful, especially when I'm forced to cycle through it.

    SOS Signal

    If you get lost out in the woods or snow and you've got search parties our looking for you, it could save your life. For general every day use, though, I think it is a big annoyance, in most cases, unless you're clever like 4Sevens and make it so you've got to cycle through the light levels more...

    Your best friend has $180 for flashlight/s.

    Re: Your best friends has $180 for flashlight/s. While I don't own one (yet), I'd still suggest the LX2.
