Movie Quote Of The Day
If we overshoot this by even the smallest integer, we're dealing with concentrations with extraordinary levels of toxicity.
So get your integers right! get it! 
Which movie?

Instructional movie: "The .Net Framework, Part Eleventy Seven: Limitations of datatypes and the seriousness of integer overflow" - It's a real nail biter!

Coming to think of it, the sentence doesn´t really make sense. The smallest integer depends on your integer size, suppose it is 32bit (signed) than that would be -2147483648.
The smallest "difference" is a whole number, thus 1.
A fraction would have been a better choice of words.

The Speech of the Drumpf
it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.

I was having a hard time connecting my Phone to my camera Wifi.
It gets into connect-Disconnect loop endlessly. For a moment when basic feature like this goes weird, I thought I got a counterfeit piece or a malfunctioning one from the showroom.
(It's usually a total piss off moment, when you get something on hand after a long wait and it doesn't work well on basic things. The thought of returning back the product and claiming the money Or placing new order and waiting for another eternity, the whole thing just sucks. I dreadfully open the pack & wish everything goes well, in particular when I buy something a bit expensive.)
I was about to call the customer care and start the rant. But I sat back and thought what the heck might go wrong on this little piece of gadget. I was trying multiple things out.
Finally one thing clicked. I got two internet connections at home both wifi routers -ON all the time. I dont know what exactly happened, but something went wrong in one of them and it was interfering with Camera wifi. Dont really know how this happens. When I switched off that particular Wifi router, Phone could connect to the Camera Wifi instantly without any disconnections after. Happy man there

Cry Engine[^] just released version V (5)
Which has native C# support! (And pay "what you want" business model! wonder what that really means?!)
Obviously I felt I think I should give it a go!
But their damn web site, though good looking, just didn't seem to work!
(At least the mandatory create account popup!)
Anyhow.. some google-fu solved the problem!
Get GryEngine on Steam[^]!
Well at work now... Will check it tonight..

I tried to sign up for CryEngine yesterday. Managed to create a login but couldn't get past setting up the account details. When I retried, it wouldn't let me login and it wouldn't let me resign up. Stupid site.
But thanks - I shall d/l from Steam.

I guess they are all at GDC San Francisco, will have to wait a little more..

Sadly, the steam version is still at V4 (for the moment) so you can't just d/l it.

If you or anyone else is interested, Humble Bundle has a resource pack out right now for CryEngine. (No link so you don't think I'm plugging/spamming, just google it, it's their current landing page.)
The quality seems a little... low... But you can get it for dirt cheap ($13 for the full bundle.) If nothing else it should help a bit with the learning process, since it has enough kit to make full scenes, and a few starter projects.

For months now I've put up with various media players stuttering constantly when playing MP3s sitting on my NAS. WMP, VLC, FooBar, probably a few more - didn't matter how I configured any of their options, including pre-buffering, somehow it seemed like my network gear couldn't keep up with a few KB trickling in every second. Yet large high-bitrate HD video files (also on the NAS) played back fine, and I could transfer files at full gigabit speed. When I copied the same MP3 files locally, they played back flawlessly.
When I played back the same MP3 files when copying files over the network at the same time, they also played back flawlessly. As soon as the file copy operation finished, the stuttering would resume shortly thereafter.
What solved it?
Unchecking the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" checkbox, under Power Management, in the NIC's Properties dialog box in Device Manager.
Which is certainly NOT something I would've turned on myself. Seems to be the default.
I wonder how much power that option has saved me during all that time...
'nuff said. I'm just posting this in the hope that it saves someone the same frustration.

[EDITED]
The NIC was going into power save mode while NOT copying files?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Kyle (below) has the right idea - while the NIC is busy transferring a large amount of data as fast as it can, it never has the opportunity to go to sleep mode, but when media players are only requesting the next chunk of data a few KBs at a time, it seems to rather aggressively go back in sleep mode ASAP.
I wouldn't have thought it'd be this quick to do so, but in hindsight, it's the only explanation I could come up with (but it's still only speculation from my part). Task Manager's Networking tab is now showing a steady stream of data coming in at regular intervals in a see-saw fashion. Until now, I'd get a few gaps in that transfer graph, and that's when I got the audio stutters.

Probably due to streaming vs. non-streaming (if that makes sense.)
When you copy the file, the NIC sees it as a single 'request' and stays powered up for the duration. When you try to play the MP3, it streams the file in numerous small 'requests', so the NIC 'powers down' in between, creating a short lag when it powers back up for the next 'request'.
I have no idea if this is accurate, but that's what sounds like is going on.

Nice.
You should put this (and Kyle's seemingly correct explanation) into Tips & Tricks, to make it easy to find.

That's a really interesting (though terribly frustrating) problem and a really great explanation of the resolution.
Thanks for sharing.

The once was a gas man named Peter
Who went downstairs to check the meter
When he struck a light
He rose out of sight
And as any good student of poetry knows he completely destroyed the meter.

There was a young lady from Madras,
Who had a magnificent ass.
Not pretty and pink
As you probably think.
It was grey, had long ears, and ate grass!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
