Let's see if it happens again. Yeah, the front page of your site said “7 comments”, but only the first six were showing on the actual article page. Let’s see if it happens again.

So many people in England own .coms because they are the TLD to have. Hmm, probably because .com isn’t used exclusively for the USA.

I noticed that a google for "suckage site:uk" comes up with only 1500 results, but "suckage site:com" comes up with half a million.. just curious ;P Is that really what they say in England?

I realise it's a bright bulb, but how do you make a bulb that costs $350? BTW, I bet 2000 hours is close to the right hand side of your graph rather than 4000. ;) Suckage, as they say in England.

I found a bulb for $250 on the internet and ordered it, but apparently when they said "in stock" that meant "in stock, in a couple of weeks." I'm too lazy to cancel the order and find another place. Oh well.. Sony won’t give me a free one since it’s past the 90 day warranty, and 600 hours is supposedly in the “normal range” of their “bulb bell curve.”

Can't you get Sony to replace it for free? I guess the question is- is it worth paying 350$ for a bulb or X many hours trying to get a free bulb, that you rightfully deserve...
