  1. Hey all,

    After this auction get out of hand, I decided to try and make my own stasis tube.

    I already have a vinyl Facehugger :)

    After searching for hours on google, I didn't really turn up much info on what to use for the glass. I was thinking of converting a fish tank, but the closest I came was this one... http://www.customaquarium.com/tabletop.htm

    Also, the top. I'm not sure what to use here either. I could use aluminum and bend and cut, but that would be quite a bit of work, and I'd have to probably buy some new tools.

    I just e-mailed Frank Cerney to find out what he used.

    Check out his custom tubes here...

    You guys/girls got any thoughts?

  2. Pfunk, thank you for trying to contact Alex.

    Please continue if you would, and if possible, let him know he's got a few more days before some of us seek legal means to get our money back. What he's done is illegal even if he didn't mean to.

    Thanks.

    So, I'd be willing to collect everyones info and give it to the Police. I would like to know where he lives, and if anyone is near him, would they be willing to go talk to him in person before I do this though.

  3. The K0NSPIRA-raver one is very good quality. Subs are fine.

    SPOILER ............... I wish GITS SAC had more action, hopefully this season will pick it up a little. Also, all of the bad guys are totally outclassed imbeciles. I doubt terrorists in the future with cyber brains will pick up the phone if there is a possibility of getting taken over like in this episode.

  4. Sellers: Always use shipping methods that have tracking numbers that you can e-mail right away. And make sure you DO e-mail them right away.

    Buyers: Make sure you ask for tracking numbers, and ask that they ship with a service that uses tracking numbers.

    I think doing this avoids a lot of headaches as far as when people shipped items out goes.

    My 2 cents.

    Yeah, all that does is immediately let you know that the items is in the mail. If a person scams you, it doesn't matter if you find out the next day or a week later. If they want to scam, it's no problem. I think that since we have this guys number that this will probably work out. Someone hopefully lives near him.

  5. Apparently 5 audio channels divx quality. Useless I think. Good stereo is enough.

    Hahaha, welcome to 1998. Try buying a new computer or computer speakers lately? The entry level ones now are offering 5.1 sound.

    If you don't have surround capability, it will still play in stereo.

  6. Tolkien himself covered this angle in the Appendices and his letters, albeit it's not explained any more directly in the text of LotR itself than it is in the films, but anyway:

    Thanks, haven't read the books, so from watching the movies, it seemed that Gandalf could summon the eagles. Once when he was on the tower, he sent that bug off, and an eagle rescued him, then when Frodo and Sam where about to die, Gandalf flys in to save the day. Too bad they couldn't explain a lot of that sort of thing in the movies.

  7. I've got a question, how come Gandalf didn't summon all of the Eagles, and just fly with Frodo above the mountain, and drop the ring in in the first movie? I'm sure the wring wraiths would have come after them, but it would have saved many more lives even if it worked. Much less risky than sending two hobbits on their own into Mordor. Am I right?
