Setting Up A Computer Network
<view this essay>.... at good prices. We estimated a cost of $10,000 for your network. However, it could be a little bit more or less than that.
First of all let’s talk about the cable type. If your financial resources are limited, coax is the best cable for the price. It is the oldest type but in some cases, it is sufficient because you don’t necessarily need a fast network. If you are not going to be connected to the Internet and your network is only going to be used for office work, coax is fine. The two types of coax that we will be using are RG-8 (thick) and RG-58 (thin). The RG-8 will be used as a backbone cable of the network this backbone cable is necessary because we .....

Hydroponics from the Latin 'water working', is simply growing plants without soil.
Hydroponics is as old as the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Today this technology is widely used to grow lush, healthy indoor plants and premium grade vegetables, fruits and herbs. The physiological requirements of plants can be met without the use of soil or natural sunlight. Plants are rooted (and thus supported) in an inert medium and nutrition is provided by wate .....

Internet Censorship And The Communications Decency Act
<view this essay>.... these
unconstitutional laws. The laws themselves are way to vague, many avocates
of Internet censorship laws are ignorant of what the Internet really is or
how it works, laws like these wouldn't work, and there are many
alternatives to government enforced laws to protect children that would be
much less invasive.
The bills for laws aimed at regulating the Internet for the sake of
child safety are, in my opinion, extremely vague and broadsided. They
give absolutely no definition of what should be considered "obscene" or
"harmful to minors." Definitions annexed on to them are extremely
broadsided and could not only ban pornography but also things like
inf .....

<view this essay>.... and by about 7% for those with some college education. Only
the wages of college graduates are up.
Of the fastest growing technical jobs, software engineering tops the list.
Carnegie Mellon University reports, "recruitment of it's software engineering
students is up this year by over 20%." All engineering jobs are paying well,
proving that highly skilled labor is what employers want! "There is clear
evidence that the supply of workers in the [unskilled labor] categories already
exceeds the demand for their services," says L. Mishel, Research Director of
Welfare Reform Network.
In view of these facts, I wonder if these trends are good or bad for s .....

Air Bags
<view this essay>.... cars. Airbags is one of their safety features. This so called safety feature has caused deaths and life long injuries to everyone from kids to adults.
Airbags are an automatic crash protection system that deploys quicker than the blink of an eye. Crash sensors, located on the front of the vehicle or in the passenger compartment, measure deceleration, the rate at which a vehicle slows down. When these sensors detect decelerations indicative of a crash severity that exposes the occupants to a high risk of injury, they send an electronic device that monitors the operational readiness of the air bag system whenever the vehicle ignition is turned on. These .....

Internet And Censorship
<view this essay>.... on the Internet is wrong because obstruct other people from accessing what they want to see and it inhibits people's free speech.
In this country, many activists for censorship of the Internet mainly have one thing on their minds. They want to protect children from pornography. Although I view this as a big concern, there is a greater issue at hand. Since censorship encompasses all forms of expression, censoring the Internet would hurt many people. Since the Internet is an international community, we must view it as pertaining to other countries; not just the United States. Not all countries have the privilege of living in a democracy and under the Bill of .....

The Internet

People at the Rand Corporation, America's foremost military think tank, were trying to figure out the important strategic problem of how could US authorities talk to each other in the aftermath of a nuclear attack? Communication networks of that time were chained point-to-point, with each place on the network dependent on the link before it. If one point in the network were blown up, the whole network would become useless. Paul Baran, one of the Rand thinkers on the project, conceived the idea for a new kind of communications network that wasn't orga .....
