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.

As a follow-up on my question cpu usage – Windows 8 Task Manager: how to enable the “CPU Time” column in the Processes tab? – Super User:
You can show the *CPU time* column in the Windows 8 Task Manager, it just well hidden.
These steps and screenshots show how:

From the FON tech support pages:
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 –.

A while ago (actually, almost two years ago <g>), Chinese Sausage wrote the below answer; it’s on my research list to see if I can stream out my audio library:
Re: Best format to encode into?

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!

About 3 years old (it was at Devoxx 2009), but still a great talk at Parleys.com: Craftsmanship and Policy Presentation by Robert C. Martin.
It was announced as:
Is management ready for the tsunami of professionalism that’s on the horizon?

Note sure what caused it, but others have had it in the past as well.
Other symptoms:
I thought they were caused because of me experimenting with a Fonera 2100A -> TomadoUSB experiment, especially since my FON access point was limited to 1 megabit.
But as soon as other users started to use the LAN, I got speed complaints about the slowness.
I’ve been running the ASUS RT-N66U in Firmware Version 3.0.0.4.260 with Operation Mode:Wireless router for quite a while now, but I also noticed that it had rebooted itself recently, as the was Uptime 0 days 20 hours when I started digging in the log.
The worst I got:
| Ping (milliseconds) | Down (megabit) | Up (megabit) | WiFi connection to |
|---|---|---|---|
| 31 | 0.4 | 0.9 | ASUS RT-N66U: 2.4 Ghz |
Time for a Reboot to see if it gets any better.
After a reboot the situation turned to normal:
| Ping (milliseconds) | Down (megabit) | Up (megabit) | WiFi connection to |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16 | 90 | 10 | ASUS RT-N66U: 2.4 Ghz |
| 17 | 9 | 8 | Fonera: MyPlace |
| 17 | 3 | 1 | Fonera: FON_AP |
| 15 | 2 | 0.6 | Wireless-N 3G Router |
| 15 | 1.5 | 0.7 | RT N66U TomatoUSB 2.4 Ghz |

AACPlus allows for a many combinations of encoding flags.
Finding out whick allows to encode a mono audio stream is a bit time consuming.
Luckily, I found this post:
If you want encode in mono make this:
enc_aacPlus test.wav test.aac --br (max 256000) --monoor for streaming:
enc_aacplus - - --br (max 256000) --silent --rawpcm 44100 2 16 --mono
Note that the various versions of enc_aacPlus.exe requires the enc_aacPlus.dll from WinAmp.
