hey, a do it yourself video on turning a maglite (flashlight) and a dvd burner into a hand held laser that can light matches and pop balloons! Freakin' cool...I might have to do this.

Warning, shooting yourself or someone else in the eye with this thing will blind you/them.

Man that's cool. I estimate the cost on about 40€, which is damn cheap for such cool stuff. :D

Nice.

Btw if there's an idiot who shoots himself in the eye with this, i say 'hurray for natural selection'.

Oh come on, it can happen just to anybody. Probability is low but it can.

Say, it falls off your hands and stops working. In the next seconds you will watch it and want to pick it up but imagine what would happen if it start working again exactly in the moment when your eye is on the cross, before you even had a chance of touching it. There are possibly more less probable cases but they still may happen if you don't use EXTREME caution (which is unlikely for 99% of people). Fuck such natural selection.

I don't consider it natural selection unless it burns off your reproductive organs.

As far as blinding, I don't know if it'll blind you unless your retina focuses it. If it's just an off chance hit it may not cause permanent damage. But who knows. Just be aware that it's potentially dangerous and don't go around blinding the neighbor's kids.

Don't give such ideas. :D I don't consider myself a retard but even to me this sounds very tempting. :twisted:
