Find the step by step introduction on Microsoft's web site?

* There are no fewer than five places where the country/language/keyboard layout must be set. With most versions of Linux it is usual for the country to be specified early in the install process, and then the user is asked to confirm this choice (instead of selecting from a long dropdown list) when it comes to specifying language, keyboard layout etc. The regional settings section is also very poorly laid out and inexperienced users (which means most people since an average user rarely performs a Windows reinstallation) often don’t realise that the country selection has to be made several times and end up with a computer set for "US English" keyboard layout even when they live outside the USA.

* The choice of default timezone setting (UTC -8, the timezone of the US state where Microsoft's head office is based), when a far more logical default option would be UTC, or even the most populous timezone of the country the computer is to be used in (which is specified earlier in the install process).

* The choice of "Letter" rather than "A4" as a default printer setting even when the installation is configured for use outside the USA (where ISO standard paper size predominate).

This feature (Quick Launch) that is present in all Windows operating systems isn't very popular with computer users because it is not very helpful and takes too long and too much effort to access. Launch Express, on the other hand, uses "one-click away" rule. This means that with Launch Express you can launch any program, access any document or open any folder (including special folders, like My Computer or Control Panel) with just one click.

Mac Address

Mac Address-is a unique identifier attached to most network adapters. It is a number that acts like a name for a particular network adapter.

Hub- is part of the network that links computers to one another.

IP address- is a unique address that devices use in order to identify and communicate with each other on a computer network utilizing the Internet Protocol standard in simpler terms, a computer address.

Router-is a computer networking device that forwards data packets across a network toward their destinations, through a process known as routing.

Methods of Generating Electricity

Hydroelectric plants- use moving water over dams to turn turbines in generators to produce electricity

Solar Collectors- are devices which gather the energy from the sun and convert it into electric energy.

Windmills-produce energy by using wind to turn turbines in a generator

Thermonuclear plants- produce electricity by using a nuclear reation to super heat water with radiation.

Piezoelectricity- is produced by exerting pressure on a quartz crystal.

Common Carriers: Inter exchange carriers, local exchange carriers, competitive local exchange carriers.

Local loop(regulated in the past-now deregulated with the Telecom Act of 1996).

Federal communications commission(FCC)

Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN)

Plain old Telephone service (POTS)

Circuit Swithching

Dedicated communications path established for the duration of the conversation

E.G. telephone network

Packet Switching

Small chunks(packets) of data at a time

Packets passed from node to node between source and destination

Used for terminal to computer and computer to computer communications

What is Topology?

2007-01-25T06:33:00.000-08:00

Network topology- The specific physical, i.e., real, or logical, i.e., virtual, arrangement of the elements of a network. Two networks have the same topology if the connection configuration is the same, although the networks may differ in physical interconnections, distances between nodes, transmission rates, and signal types.

bus topology- A network topology in which all nodes, i.e., stations, are connected together by a single bus.

hybrid topology- A combination of any two or more network topologies. Note 1: Instances can occur where two basic network topologies, when connected together, can still retain the basic network character, and therefore not be a hybrid network.

mesh topology- A network topology in which there are at least two nodes with two or more paths between them.

ring topology- A network topology in which every node has exactly two branches connected to it.

star topology- A network topology in which peripheral nodes are connected to a central node, which rebroadcasts all transmissions received from any peripheral node to all peripheral nodes on the network, including the originating node.

tree topology- A network topology that, from a purely topologic viewpoint, resembles an interconnection of star networks in that individual peripheral nodes are required to transmit to and receive from one other node only, toward a central node, and are not required to act as repeaters or regenerators.

WHAT IS DSL?

DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) is a technology for bringing high-bandwidth information to homes and small businesses over ordinary copper telephone lines.

HOW IT WORK?

Traditional phone service (sometimes called POTS for "plain old telephone service") connects your home or small business to a telephone company office over copper wires that are wound around each other and called twisted pair. Traditional phone service was created to let you exchange voice information with other phone users and the type of signal used for this kind of transmission is called an analog signal.

WHAT IS CABLE MODEM?

A cable modem is a type of modem that provides access to a data signal sent over the cable television infrastructure. Cable modems are primarily used to deliver broadband Internet access, taking advantage of unused bandwidth on a cable television network.

DSL and Cable modem is broadband.

Cable modem cost more, but DSL cost less.

Cablem modem is faster than DSL.

*Information is generated by a source. It is converted into an electronic signal by coding into machine readable from. The output is known as a signal.

*The siganl is applied to a medium. Medium carried this via electromagnetic waves and delivers it ti the receiver.

*Receiver accepts the signal or info

Analog-continous fluctuations over time between high and low lengths.

Digital-Discrete states(voltages,levels

Binary-if limited to two

Frequency- the number of timesper second a continous wave completes one cycle

Amplitude-the difference of the extremes from the midpoint in a cycle

Phase-the angular position of a wave
