[tech] Projector

[mitch at ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au]

I wouldnt think you could. If its not safe to run i dont think we  
should be using it, I have seen projectors catch on fire a few times  
due to people using the globes longer than recommended.. It wouldn't  
be safe to use IMO if we dont know how long is on the bulb

Resetting it is like turning back the odometer on your car, It looks  
like it works but will eventually explode/break down. The timers are  
there for a reason, And that reason is not to be ignored.
