1. What is a NIC?

It is a network interface card, more commonly referred to as a NIC, is a device that allows computers to be joined together in a LAN, or local area network. Networked computers communicate with each other using a given protocol or agreed-upon language for transmitting data packets between the different machines, known as nodes. The network interface card acts as the liaison for the machine to both send and receive data on the LAN.

2. What are the things that you would consider when selecting a NIC?

In my own idea in selecting the NIC (Network interface card) you must choose the known NIC and have good quality or let us say it can give you money back guarantee. Also it must be compatible to all OS so that when the time you will choose or dual boot you will not having problem on it.

3. What is a MAC Address?

In computer networking, a Media Access Control address (MAC address) or Ethernet Hardware Address (EHA), hardware address, adapter address or physical address is a quasi-unique identifier assigned to most network adapters or network interface cards (NICs) by the manufacturer for identification. If assigned by the manufacturer, a MAC address usually encodes the manufacturer’s registered identification number.

4. What is a Protocol? What are the different organizations that create these protocols? Name 3 organizations.

In computing, a protocol is a convention or standard that controls or enables the connection, communication, and data transfer between two computing endpoints. In its simplest form, a protocol can be defined as the rules governing the syntax, semantics, and synchronization of communication. Protocols may be implemented by hardware, software, or a combination of the two. At the lowest level, a protocol defines the behavior of a hardware connection.

5. Differentiate LAN and WAN.

A computer network that spans a relatively small area. Most LANs are confined to a single building or group of buildings. However, one LAN can be connected to other LANs over any distance via telephone lines and radio waves while the WAN is a wide area network (WAN) is a geographically dispersed telecommunications network. The term distinguishes a broader telecommunication structure from a local area network (LAN).

Sociable Road

November 23, 2008

I am once again lost. This wandering towards nowhere seems to be a futile quest. No matter how far I’ve traveled, I still find my self in the same old path; in the same old state I still am lost. Every now

And then I am so certain that I am heading towards the right track. Yet this certainty fades as I approach what I thought of as my final destination. The radiance of the light that flickers from afar diffuses as I draw nearer. Disillusioned, fooled once again. How come I am always deceived by such trickery? On I go. This pointless pursuit ought to lead me somewhere. But where? The road towards north is as obscure as the road towards west. And South is as daunting as east as well. In this total state of confusion I went on. I pursued my quest in a dark, misty avenue. I’ve gone through every discernible road I laid my eyes on. Yet I still am mislaid. I still am heading nowhere. And there was this road- the road less traveled by- the road I dare not take. This road is not an option. Not for a fearful fool like me. So I go on.

I am a lone traveler in a solitary road. I am at loss of destination, immersed in the obscurity of this journey. I do not know where to head to. I am… LOST

Vocabulary

November 18, 2008

If i can put into words what I am feeling right now, then perhaps I would be writing one of the most wonderful compositions ever written. Yet this extreme emotion transcends every letter of the alphabet, its absoluteness cannot be contained by even the most powerful words. Perhaps words are the best expression of man’s inner thoughts, yet words simply cannot materialize man’s innermost feelings. True it is that words are powerful- they can strike one’s heart deeply, they can make one travel from one galaxy to another, they can create pictures in one’s mind. Yet words are mere words, they cannot fully capture and vividly express the genuine joy that emanates from the deepest recesses of one’s soul. Simply put, words can never equal the intensity of an actual feeling.

 

Perhaps words can speak for one’s pain, yet it can never feel that pain. For PAIN in print is far more different from the pain felt in actuality - the type of pain that kills. Words can relay a single emotion, yet it can never speak for a million emotions that occur all at once. Words can describe JOY, but it can never see that joy from the perspective of the eyes that saw it and the heart that felt it. It can never match the intensity of an actual happiness- the one that makes one leap and shout and laugh out loud without even knowing why. Words can speak of love, but it can never tell exactly what love is. Words degrade LOVE by just equating it with joy, pain, patience, understanding, etc. LOVE is LOVE. It simply cannot be put into words. Yes I do recognize the power of words in conveying one’s innermost thought and emotions. Yet the reflection it creates is just a mere shadow of the actual. Vague, formless, hollow.

Got mentors?

November 13, 2008

Everyday of our lives, we strive very hard to be the best that we could possibly be. We do things that could eventually make us helpful to others. We meet a lot of people along the way in our journey in this world.

We get to mingle with people whom we are able to share ourselves with just like our parents. These individuals in one way or the other made a remarkable contribution to what we are now. We call them our mentors, our teachers. They give us the confidence as well as the drive to follow our dreams and to really pursue whatever path or career we want to undertake. Just like parents who give us advices and guidance, these mentors help us to give the very best that we have and even criticize us when we are wrong. Though we may not bonded by blood but the trust and the willingness they give to us in helping us in our everyday struggle in life is a big indication that despite the bad things that are happening in our environment right now where some adults are following the wrong path, these mentors of ours are really there to give themselves to us in order for us to really be a good citizens in this so called cruel world.
