How (and why) to Ramble on your goat sideways

**** IT! I guess my camera is on wait, until I get a new TV. Even though this is a $1600 TV, it's several years outdated, and the repairs could be costly and reoccurring. Many of the posts I have read have told of people replacing power supplies, ballast boards and bulbs several times each, and they only last a month or two before one or the other goes out again. I'm not dropping $500 into a 3 year old TV when I could go out and get a good deal on a 55'' LED LCD for $1400...
Bastards!!!
got any numbers on the dead part?

+1 for new 55". i saw some ~1k (http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product...=1&topnav=&s=1) but that said, i bought a dvd player and a cap exploded in the power supply about 6mo later. so i found a cap and put it on there and it worked fine until i finally shitcanned it 6yrs later.

Oh, I did decide to stare this bitch down and make it work. I paid $1600 for this ******* thing, it's going to serve me for more than 2 years goddamn it!!!
Samsung should be chained to a wall and caned for not putting out a recall on these sets, since the problem is quite widespread.

Harris sure is paranoid. Got this in today's email:
DATE: November 29, 2010
TO: Harris Global Employees
FROM: (corporate VP who has too much free time)
SUBJECT: WikiLeaks Guidance for Harris Employees
The publication of classified documentation today by WikiLeaks is cause for an important reminder that Harris personnel should not access the WikiLeaks website to view or download information. Doing so may introduce potentially classified information onto unclassified Harris networks. Rumors that the information is no longer classified because it now resides in the public domain are NOT true. Executive Order 13526, Section 1.1(4)(c) states “Classified Information shall not be declassified automatically as a result of any unauthorized disclosure of identical or similar information.”
The information published via WikiLeaks has not been declassified by an appropriate authority and requires ongoing classification until it is reviewed by the Original Classification Authorities (OCAs). The OCAs will determine what if any of the material has been declassified, conduct damage assessments, and make a determination regarding continued classification.
In any event, all Harris personnel must continue to protect similar or identical information commensurate with the level of classification assigned until the information is assessed by the appropriate OCAs.
Thank you for your support in this important matter.If nothing else, thousands of Harris employees have just been made aware of the existence of Wikileaks, and while it is blocked by our filter (as of yesterday evening) something tells me that the majority of these people have web access at home.
