________________________________________
My summary of this article, is that there was this guy named Dave Knight, he was bullied on the internet. There were threats, comments that were not true, but a lot of people were involved. He ended up leaving school, but it didn’t stop.

My thoughts on this article would be, that this boy was targeted for no reason. I guess just because he was smart and couldn’t defend himself. I agree with him getting out of school it was the smartest thing to do.

The person being bullied is fine now, he is trying to follow his dreams and forget about what had happened to him. The person doing the bulling was charged, and feels really bad they didn’t know, they say what it really did to him.

What could have been done is that they should of never put anything on mean about him. They should of minded there own business. He should of stood up to them, not letting them know he was week,.

It applies to everyone because, it can happen to anyone. It mostly happened at school. At home im not sure honestly. But it can happen anywhere any time any place.

ETHERNET CABLES.

- 3x RJ45 Ethernet connectors
- 1x LED (color of your choice)
- 1x +/-680 Ohm resistor
- 1x 9 volts Alkaline powercell (or other battery)

How to test it:)
You put the colors in the right order, then you put them in the test box and it either will turn green or red.

first time I created an ethernet cable - It was hard like trying to get all the colors in the right order and stuff. I messed up about 3 times i believe. I would have watch step by step how to set it up.

Some Words of encouragement to the new ethernet cable builder :) would be to listen to your teacher, watch your colors.

A network is? A network consists of two or more computers that are linked in order to share resources (such as printers and CDs), exchange files, or allow electronic communications. The computers on a network may be linked through cables, telephone lines, radio waves, satellites, or infrared light beams.



four benefits of using a network? fast, easy, smart, it helps you.


Difference? A LAN (local area network) is a group of computers and network devices connected together, usually within the same building A WAN (wide area network), is not restricted to a geographical location, although it might be confined within the bounds of a state or country.
A WAN connects several LANs, and may be limited to an enterprise (a corporation or an organization) or accessible to the public. The technology is high speed and relatively expensive. The Internet is an example of a worldwide public WAN.

The difference between client and peer to peer:)
There’s a huge difference between client/server and peer-to-peer networks. For instance, a peer-to-peer network has no central server. Each workstation on the network shares its files equally with the others. There’s no central storage or authentication of users. Conversely, there are separate dedicated servers and clients in a client/server network. Through client workstations, users can access most files, which are generally stored on the server. The server will determine which users can access the files on the network.
