iPod update - it worked fine for the tech. Of course. But he said, based on the problem I described but he couldn't duplicate, it is basically a matter of time now before it dies for good. Sigh.

I'm visiting my uncle, and his HP laptop DVD drive will not open. It does not appear in bios or device manager. I suspect it is not getting power, as the access light didn't blink when I scanned for new devices. The drive does not appear to be removable. Any thoughts of what it could be or how to fix it?

Is there a way to make Wordpress display more than 20 comments at a time in Mass Edit mode? I'm de-spamifying DH's blog, and it's taking for-freaking-ever.
I'm not talking about the moderation queue - these are comments that slipped past the filters and were automatically approved. I've now changed the settings so that you need a previously approved comment or else you get moderated, which should keep things pretty spam-free in the future, but I was lax about it for so long that there are close to 30,000 spams that need to be deleted...20 at a time...

The 20 seems to be hard-coded into edit-comments.php. If you're self-hosting and feeling adventurous, you could go through that file and change all the 20's to something bigger. Or maybe there's a plug-in (I couldn't find one, but I didn't look very hard)?

Help!
I bought a nano on Saturday and today I'm trying to charge it up and when I first plugged it into the USB port - my computer told me that it didn't recognize it and it is malfunctioning so try again. Which I did - and got similar messages but now I'm getting nothing. Does this mean my ipod's cord is frelled or is it the two usb ports on my home computer?

Okay, I got the book on cd ripped in via iTunes. It's just annoying because then I had to use MP3 converter to make it an audiobook. iTunes should have an mp3-to-audiobook converter built in...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think you can just tell iTunes that an mp3 is an audiobook. (He says, without checking iTunes first.)
OK, I think that what you do is go to "Get Info" and change the Genre to AudioBooks. You also might want to check "Remember playback position" under Options.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What tommy said has worked for me. I've never had to convert anything again, but I use iTunes to listen to it in.
