How is LG doing for longevity, now?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I've had my Toshiba CRT since September 2004 or so. 2005? I just know that the TV I had shorted out or something right before the fall television season started, so I had to go out to Best Buy, like, that very night to get a new one. And I bought the extended warranty and everything, which I never had to use. But since I'd only had the TV that died for a year or two (it died riiiight after the warranty expired), I was playing it safe.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Vidding related question: in my transition between computers, I lost my link to a tutorial for converting vob files to viddable avi files. I don't know if I got that link from here or elsewhere, but it's worth a shot. The software I have now keeps crashing with the files I give it, and I'm afraid that if I spend the additional 50 bucks for the more familiar software that I'll still be stuck with the crashing issue because I'm ripping the files wrong. the LJ community is no help on this matter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was just being told by someone he'd hacked his Canon camera firmware by loading it onto the memory card. This included useful things like extending exposure time, and adding an intervalometer, but now he also has games on his camera (point and shoot).
Anyone here ever done this?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Anyone here ever done this?
No and I would like to right now. (Does this crazy business work on video cameras as well as still cameras?)

Julie,
all I would do is google it, so if you haven't found much success, I don't have any recs. If you are on a mac, I have suggestions, but I think you aren't.

HP customer service has just fucked me over about my Wife's five month old laptop and won't repair the screen. Guess I'll never be buying another HP product again ever.
