Using Docker Toolbox on Windows with Hyper-V instead of Virtualbox

Unless you successfully signed up for Docker Beta you probably had trouble getting started with Docker Toolbox on Windows.

The typical issue is that the Docker Quickstart Terminal will refuse to start because Hyper-V is installed, cf. docker/toolbox #77. In fact this is related to Oracle VirtualBox 5.0 coming with the current Docker Tools release.

The usual advice is to just uninstall Hyper-V - which i consider a big deal, especially on Windows 10.

How to fix your ClickOnce icons

As described in ClickOnce installing dialog icon (StackOverflow) icons displayed in the ClickOnce installing dialog may seem noisy:

It should be looking like this

mkoertgen

public static class BalanceExtensions
{
    // left=0, right=1
    private const int LeftChan = 0;
    private const int RightChan = 1;

    /// <summary>
    /// Gets the ratio of volume across the left and right speakers in a range between -1 (left) and 1 (right). The default is 0 (center).
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="volume">The audio volume endpoint</param>
