Submission + - How to turn a Mini Maglite into a powerful laser (lifehacker.com) 3

Lucas123 writes: "Using the laser from a DVD burner, this instructional video shows you how to create a hand-held laser that is powerful enough to light a match and pop a balloon. There's some soldering involved and the Maglite's bulb housing needs to be drilled out to fit the new laser diode, but with some basic skill, most people could do this. Just plain cool."

Let me get this strait. You are responsible for making sure that at least some part of our government's information is secure, and you are spending your morning reading slashdot. You should be randomizing security tokens, reconfiguring kerbos settings, or scalding users for using their child's birthday as a pin number. You shouldn't be commenting on how important people get what they want, regardless if it is a good idea or not. We all already know this, spend your time being paranoid that your new girlfriend is a undercover agent for dirka-dirkastan.

Remember, when you read slashdot, the terrorists win.
