Gmail finally has a delete button! (WHY did they think this was such an optional feature for so long? Why??)

Have we really lost all our locked posts on lj or have they just gotten rid of the icons that tell us that our posts are locked?
Because I don't think that the posts that I am seeing on my lj were all public, yet they no longer tell you what level they are at.

I think they are in mid-tweak, and things haven't settled out yet.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Because of course merely having the space means that you actually *want* to have every stupid me-too response to anything ever?
(It confused the hell out of me, actually, because I'd installed the Greasemonkey script to give myself a delete button, and then all of a sudden I had two.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That price needs to come down some, but I like the idea. Wasn't that one of the prize winners at PC World?

I'm having an LJ problem. I have cookies disabled on my work computer, except for a cookie for www.livejournal.com. And now I've added one for myljname.livejournal.com. This allows me to read my flist. But when I go to click on a locked post on a friend's LJ, I cannot open it -- because I don't have a cookie for that LJ domain, just mine.
Is the only way around this to just enable cookies universally? I tried to tell Firefox to grant cookies to *.livejournal.com, but apparently it didn't work.
And does my question make any sense?

Does it work using just livejournal.com?
edit: my guess is no, but there's a firefox extension that will do it for you: [link]

PC question from a PC-ignoramus:
I have a not-very-tech-literate friend who is looking for free software to rip music from his iPod to his PC. Any recs?
I use (and am mostly happy with) Senuti on my Mac but it is not available for Windows. I ask especially because I want to find something super user-friendly for him due to his not-very-techness and I don't know anything about PCs.
Also - iPod users - it is possible to have your iPod cross-formated for both PCs and Macs, correct? Are there problems with doing that?
I just gave him my old iMac because he is computer-less, but his iPod has only ever been used with his folks' PC. I just wondered if I should warn him about potential problems. Or if it's just not possible at all.
Thanks.
