Tradução de "sweet spot"

DEFINIÇÃO
- A sweet spot is a place, often numerical as opposed to physical, where a combination of factors suggest a particularly suitable solution. In the context of a racquet, bat or similar sporting instrument, sweet spot is often believed to be the same as the center of percussion.

Tradução de "drop-in-the-box"

DEFINIÇÃO

- the opposite of preinstalled
- a product in a box from the seller

Let's say you bought a computer for server use. Unless you have no idea what you're doing you probably want to set up the server yourself. So the hardware comes with nothing installed and instead people who'd pack your computer drops a copy of the needed software, in your case it'd be the SQL 2000, in the package (box), hence the name 'drop-in-the-box'. You'd then install it yourself.

INGLÊS

Red Hat Linux WS5 (as drop-in-the-box only)

PORTUGUÊS BR

Red Hat Linux WS5 (incluído no pacote, mas não pré-instalado)
