Cyber Bullying

Megan Meirer committed suided at the age of 13 due to cyber bullying. Megan was a vitcim, a group of individuals had created a fake myspace of a boy whom they named "Josh Evans" a 16-year-old boy who had taken a liking to Megan. On October 16, 2006, "Josh" told Megan, that the world would be a better place without her in it. Later that day Megan hanged herself in a closet at her family's O'Fallon, Missouri home. I think that it was wrong for a group of individuals to do that to a poor innocent girl, just because she didn't fit in with the "cool" crowd. Nobody really knows what happend to the bully's but the person who was bullied killed herself. This could have been prevented if Megan had more self asteam.

1. An Ethernet cable is used to directly connect two network devices.

2. Materials: network cable, 2 RJ45 jacks, cable pliers

3. Instructions:

• Cut wire to desired length


• Strip blue tubingUntwist and straighten colored wires


• Place colors in correct order: light orange, dark orange, light green, dark blue, light blue, dark green, light brown, dark brown


• Cut wires evenly (keep in order)


• Hold jack with clip down, place wires inside (copper must be meeting copper)


• Make sure wires are in correct order and in the right slot.


• Clamp it down.


• Repeat process on other end of cable.

4. To test, place one end of the cable into a cable modular, and the other end into a second modular. If the lights turn green, the cable works. If the lights have a mixture of green and red, the cable does not work.

5. Building an Ethernet cable is relatively simple, but it is extremely easy to mess up. The colored wires must be in the correct order, and they easily get twisted. Sometimes, the tips of the wires do not reach the copper in the jack. I had to redo mine at least 5 times before it worked. Now that I know what to do, I would make sure that the wires are completely straight and even before placing them into the jack.

- WANs are Wide Area Networks that consist of two or more LANs connected together and are generally across a wide geographical area.

- LANs are Local Area Networks of computers that are relatively near each other and are connected in a way hat enables them to communicate.

- Three common network topologies are the bus, ring and star.

- Network Operating System Software Examples:
1. Novell NetWare
2. Microsoft XP
3. Linux
4. Microsoft .NET Server

- Client/Server Networks involves the individual computers sharing the process and storage workload with a central server.

- Peer-to-Peer Networks, sometimes called workgroups, all nodes on the network have equal relationships to all others and they all have similar types of software that support the sharing of resources.

- The difference between the two is that Client/Server Networks work individually while Peer-to-Peer Networks work in groups.
