Hyperactive Bob At Your Even Faster Food
Service 09/08/2004 05:26 AM
We've all seen it happen. For some reason, entirely independent people seem to arrive at restaurants in bunches. For those working in food preparation, it certainly would be helpful to have at least a little heads up that crowds are coming, and now some fast food restaurants ma y get the predictive capabilities of Hyperactive Bob. Hyperactive Bob is a new system that uses cameras to monitor cars entering the parking lot and the drive-through lane to give kitchen workers a heads up that a rush is coming, and even suggests what they might want to start cooking up. So, for example, knowing that five cars just drove into the parking lot, Hyperactive Bob can be fairly certain that someone will order a hamburger within the next three minutes, so the food prep folks might as well get one steamed/nuked/flame broiled (or however its prepared in fast food kitchens these days). Now, if only Hyperactive Bob could be used at the office too, telling people how busy they're going to be and suggesting that maybe they should get the new coversheets running for the latest TPS reports, rather than waiting around for the boss to come by.

Linksys says faster..FASTER! 01/04/2005 08:10 PM
Over at CES, Linksys will be announcing a new series of 802.11g products that integrate SRX, a new speed boosting feature.

Currently, 802.11g networks have a range of between 120 and 160 feet and a transfer at 54mbps.

Linksys claims that the SRX enabled 802.11g products can provide 3 times the range (450 feet) and is 8 times faster (i.e. nearly USB 2 speed wireless).

It's completely compatible with other 802.11g and 802.11b networks.

The wireless router is expected to sell for $199 and each card around $129 and should be available at stores shortly.

Office 2003 Tool: Local Installation
Source Tool

Office 2003 Tool: Local Installation
Source Tool 05/28/2004 01:48 AM
The Local Installation Source Tool is a wizard to help manage your Local Installation Source (LIS) on computers running Microsoft Office 2003. The LIS Tool allows you to enable or disable LIS, and to move the MsoCache folder to a new volume. This download is intended for use by customers and network administrators with LIS issues who contact Microsoft Product Support Services. Local Installation Source is a Setup feature. When a user installs Microsoft Office 2003 from a CD or a compressed CD image on the network, Setup copies any required installation files to a hidden folder on the local computer. Microsoft Windows Installer uses this local installation source to install Office, and the local source remains available for repairing, reinstalling or updating Office later on. Users can install features on demand or run Setup in maintenance mode to add new features without their original media.

I'm faster than you are 03/08/2004 11:12 PM
RCN, my ISP, has recently upped its performance to 5 gigabits. (I sometimes get my units confused so go ahead and have a good laugh at a dumb liberal arts major.) According to DSLreports. I'm running at 4.1 and SpeedCheck says I'm at 4.4. I don't mean to rub your faces in it, but downloading is pretty durn peppy. Why, my pornographic spam is downloading in a fraction of the time that it used to! (Upload times are still under 700kbps.) So, when will RCN start offering Voice over IP?...

I've been cleaning a lot recently, mainly to get rid of stuff that I no longer need (like a ton of books). Today I ran across some old canned food in my kitchen. Two cans of pineapple chunks. I searched the can for an expiration date and then noticed the top: Best Used By: Feb 2002 Needless to say, they're gone now. I think that is a personal record. I doubt there's any older food left in my kitched. At...

Crackers Are Faster Than You

Crackers Are Faster Than You 08/18/2004 02:49 PM

Here's a scary statistic that I hadn't considered before: SANS keeps a graph of the amount of time you can have an unprotected PC on the Internet before you get some kind of exploit probe. Since last year, this time has gone from 40-60 minutes down to around 20-30 minutes, which is less time than you usually need to download your service packs and patches for a new install.

The average time between probes will vary widely from network to network. Some of our submitters subscribe to ISPs which block ports commonly used by worms. As a result, these submitters report a much longer 'survival time'. On the other hand, University Networks and users of high speed internet services are frequently targeted with additional scans from malware like bots. If you are connected to such a network, your 'survival time' will be much smaller.

SANS includes a link to a PDF entitled 'Windows XP: Surviving the First Day'. As always, a $60 broadband router/firewall box will deal with most of these problems for you.

Top Tip: Is cable faster than DSL?

Top Tip: Is cable faster than DSL? 12/31/2003 02:31 PM
I have neither cable or DSL, but the slow dial-up still. I can't get Cable and my ISP provides DSL but I'm too far and they won't extend it to reach me because it's too costly. Anyhow, I still keep an eye on the two internet connections and hopefully will be using one of the two in the next few years or so. I'm curious on knowing the faster one.

Watching TV. Faster.

Watching TV. Faster. 03/15/2003 04:04 PM

Buried in this story over at PCWorld on all the unexpected gadgets that getting WiFi added to them, like a digital camera from Sanyo and a handheld file server from Sony, is this: a new DVD recorder from Matsushita that records television shows at 1.3 times faster than normal speed. Why? "That's slow enough to understand what is going on but also cuts the time it takes to watch a TV show by a quarter." Sounds crazy, but if you're a busy person, that'll skim fifteen minutes off an hour-long show.

Here at Gizmodo we've got another trick for cramming more TV into less time, though it only works with a TiVo or other digital video recorder: turn on closed-captioning and watch the show on TiVo's slowest fast-forward setting. The captions will still pop up, so you won't miss what anyone's saying, but everything will happen in double-speed, making it perfect for watching three episodes of Blind Date in a half hour. And yes, we know how fucked up this is.
