I'll second subsonic. I've been using it to stream my music collection the last few weeks. Works well even despite a 40 KBps connection on the source computer.

But they aren't eliminating the context menu, no? Right clicking is intuitive for me, but it is not for many people. I speak from my own experiences doing tech support professionally and for family and friends.

The site is broken at my 1024 pixel screen width (netbook). About a quarter of the text exits stage left. It's easier to read the content via view-source. EDIT: The problem is your 1280px width declaration in style.css's rascalcontent class

Those of you who proactively whitelist, thank you for using your brain. This comment is not directed at you. As a former tech/cust support worker, I hate challenge-response systems. The usual scene is this: (1) support@company.com gets an e

Iirc, CA law says cyclists should use the bicycle lane when safe and convenient, but should not hesitate to act like a motor vehicle in the normal lanes when needed. Like you, I've found staying to the left of right-turn-only lanes prevents

Your explanation appears more elegant, but it isn't simpler. I as an algebra student can grasp nearly all of the lesson from betterexplained. I haven't yet learned derivatives, so your explanation doesn't much sense. I very much appreciate
