I got a bit sick of the VS2012.2.exe on-line installer having to re-download each piece on every Visual Studio 2012 RTM machine to upgrade.
Here is the VS2012.2.iso for off-line installation.
Found it through Provide Visual Studio updates as an ISO image for offline installation – Customer Feedback for Microsoft.

Interesting graph here: Evented Github Adventure – Sentiment Analysis of Github Commits.
It seems that Delphi programmers have a much better happy/sad word rate than other programmers.

Why is the MAC address online different than the one found on my router?

If you look at your router information in your user area at fon.com, you will notice that the MAC ID is different than the one found at the bottom of the Fonera.
This is nothing to be worried about. Both MAC IDs are associated with the same Fonera. The MAC ID in the user area is associated with the FON_ signal.
The MAC ID found at the bottom of the Fonera refers to the LAN port.
Specifically for the FON2100A, there are 2 MAC addresses based on the sticker on the bottom of your FON:
001884 is the OUI for Fon Technology S.L.
You can find that for instance at MAC Address / WWN / Vendor Lookup – WintelGuy.com –.

When space drive IS a concern, then ogg (aoTuV version) is the best format quality-wise (to these ears), as it is more true to the original music source, and it leaves less noticeable noise artifacts than the other encoders. However, aac is almost just as good and also more compatible with mobile phones, iPod’s and other external players, so it is probably a better choice if you want to share your music files with anybody who is not computer savvy. The main thing I do not like about aac (at least HE-AAC) is that it does not support gapless playback, which is particularly annoying if you listen to live albums, or other music which has continuous playback.
At 64kbps though, there is none better than ogg aoTuV. Here is a link to the latest version, in case you want it.
Just replace the ogg.dll and vorbis.dll files to the existing ones in your encoding program (I use MediaMonkey to encode files to ogg).Hope this helps!
