I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

The recordsource is a table-- but I frankly did it that was because I am using a template, and that is the way the template did it. I just went into the table, sorted the table, and now it sppears to be sorted correctly.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I'm looking for something that displays seconds.

The built in clock (the one you see if you double click on the time in the system tray) shows seconds.

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

Yes, but I don't want to have the Properties window on display all the time. [eta: I'll surely change something in an AltTab mistake]

I futzed around and found Qlock, which fits my needs neatly. It'd be even better if it floated transparently on top of everything, but I'll make do.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Thinking of buying an LCD television set? Wait no longer: The price plunge is over. After years of accelerating decline, prices for consumer LCD TVs -- especially those smaller than 32 inches -- have hit bottom, industry insiders say.

I need to find some transparent jpeg (?) icons that are free, are from the same icon set, and represent news segments (entertainment, world news, U.S. news, travel, food, technology, etc.). Anyone know of such a beast?

ETA: These are to display on a Web site.

You're not going to get transparent and JPG--you'll need GIF for that, and it's a dicey proposition since the sides need to be either horizontal or vertical with no anti-aliasing for you to achieve true transparency.

Or PNG--that'll get you true transparency. Do most browsers support it now?

But I have no idea where to find them. Just wanted to tweak your search.

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

Or PNG--that'll get you true transparency. Do most browsers support it now?

IE was the last holdout on transparent PNG's -- but of course, that's a pretty big holdout, as far as market share goes. As of IE7, it's now supported, but I don't have numbers handy for how many IE users have made the switch.

Hmm. I wonder if I have any browser stats lying around for our user base...not that we're that representative.

Nah, nothing past 2006 which is more IE6.
