  1. Re:What is a grocery store? on Microsoft Will Stream Ads To Grocery Carts · · Score: 1

    Well, In Costco you can get it delivered if you order $500 or more worth of merchandise and fax the order in. This is in Puerto Rico, so it might be a regional thing.

  2. Re:Oracle Enterprise Linux? on Oracle Contributes Linux Code, Expands Hardware Support · · Score: 1

    Well, "Unbreakable" provides savings for small to medium enterprises in terms of OS licensing and support. Its about $100 per OS install per year to get support for the OS from Oracle, compared to whatever the Hell else RH is charging. For a small to medium business, this is a big difference. I also believe that a fork might be coming soon, seeing as it is easier to certify an Oracle configuration for support if it is based on this OS.

    Right now, as far as I know, the software packages are the same as Red Hats, but tested so they do not break any oracle install you might have running on your 'unbreakable" install, which is a big deal when you have a 24-7 operation running on your Oracle database.

    I think its nice because I can forward the page to my boss and justify a whole bunch of hours online surfin' the web. He'll be too busy figuring out what the hell those animations mean.

  11. Resident Evil 4 on Game Breakers · · Score: 1

    One of the main things I liked about RE4 was the interaction during the cutscenes. You had to press certain buttons in the middle of cutscenes in order to affect the character either way. Really good for late night playing. Otherwise you pass out during a lengthy cutscene.

  15. Using sleep as a tool on Leaving Early May Cost You Time · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I live 25 minutes away from work. During rush hour, that number goes up to an hour 30 (anyone asking, this is the dreaded commute from Caguas, PR to San Juan, PR). What I do to beat the traffic is that I wake up at 3:30. I usually leave my house around 4, 4:15(at 5am, there's already transit going to San Juan). I get to my office at 15 minutes to 5am. I get the best parking spot(no parking in the building), plus I get around two and a half hours of sleep in my car before getting to the office (>3 min walk). I start my day relaxed at 8am after a nice breakfast, and I am very productive during the day.

    When I go back home, I usually bite the bullet and take the hour long (hopefully) trip back home. I have a lot of advantage over the other drivers because I only go through rush hour once. They have these desperate faces, and I am just relaxed with my iPod-iTrip combo, listening to some tunes while I get home.

  18. PAL/NTSC Encoding on Region-free PS3 · · Score: 1

    I see a lot of people with issues about PAL releases not being able to play on NTSC consoles. This can be done on the software side (in the game). I have a Resident Evil 4 disc that boots up in PAL and lets you change to NTSC. That implementation should be a standard option in PAL games. Heck, make it a global standard. Most of us would not mind a little prompt on bootup, as long as we get a choice and the ability to play wherever we want.

  19. I am on a similar situation... on Software for a One-Man IT Department? · · Score: 3, Informative

    ...so I hope I can help. I use VNC for any troubleshooting with the users. In smaller shops, you have a chance to educate your users a little more. Therefore, I do simple things (like OMG my shared folder is not connected!) with them so they know how to fix things and do not bother me with the same things twice. Trouble tickets are handled by a little Access database I created to keep track of things. I handle an inventory of vending machine and I created another database for that. I use thunderbird and the calendar extension for my day-to-day tasks. If my boss asks me, I just refer to the calendar and ask if I should shift my obligations. I could also create a "To do" database and assign levels of importance based on need, but I dont got much time for that. I automated antivirus and patch distribution on the servers. I installed firefox to all the users. That way they dont mess with IE. I gotta go now, but if i think of more, I'll post again.

  22. Open Wireless connections? No way! on Neighborhood WiFi Security · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I have read about other people's posts abot leaving your access point open and sharing the connection. Around here (Puerto Rico), people would just mess your resources up. I have a 1024 Kb down/ 512Kb up cable connection that I distribute among my two computers (one for light e-mail and downloading and another that I connect through the net from work). and I personally took care of security (MAC address filtering + best encryption supported by the AP).

    The things is, people have attempted to get in and disable my equipment. People can and will use the wireless connection to do mischievous things. They get no access from me.

    Open access is fine if you have an agreement with your neighbohrs and/or you have a common wifi provider (many new housing development are now including wifi from the get go). Otherwise, is just asking for trouble.
