Do search engines search the entire web?
No, they search only a fraction of the entire world wide web, called the surface web. There is a lot of information in this fraction, but it is not the entire world wide web. The deep web is the portion that is not indexed by search engines and is several times larger than the surface web.

Free sites to create a webpage?
I always recommend Wordpress. Initially started just for blogs, but now an amazing outlet for some great websites. Wordpress is constantly adding new plug-ins to make this the most "user-friendly" source around. Many great websites you see today are wordpress. And if you have no idea how to build a website, wordpress can help. See the wordpress link I attached and an example of a wordpress site in full force below this answer. Hope this was helpful.

How many bits are there in Mac address?
48-bits. Probably so that there would be enough for every network device to have a worldwide unique address. This 48-bit address space contains potentially 2^48 or 281,474,976,710,656 possible MAC addresses. (2 to the 48th power.)
Which will probably also run out (some day?) like IPv4 is running out and will be supposedly fixed by IPv6 which has a larger address spac
How do you find an address by using a phone number for free?
There is not any way to tie an address to a mobile phone number. For landlines, there are "reverse directories" that allow you to look up telephone numbers either numerically by number, and "criss-cross directories" that allow you to look up telephone numbers by street address.
Once you have decided to get cable, you'll have to decide on which provider you want to deliver your services. While customers in some areas do not have a choice, in many areas of the country, there are multiple providers from which to choose. Making the right decision at the outset is important for many reasons.
Price is usually one factor consumers consider when they compare services from different providers. While it is important to comparison shop, make sure you are comparing essentially the same services. Look at the channel line-up that different providers offer and compare this with the price. Also, pay attention to introductory offers. Some cable providers will offer a fantastic deal for new customers, but then the price goes up drastically within a few months. If you are considering one of these deals, make sure you figure in the price change.
Many individuals don't consider a company's customer service until they need it, and then it may be too late. With any type of cable or Internet service, there are times when you will need customer service. Before choosing a cable provider, find out what kind of customer service they offer.
Some companies have localized customer service, where the representatives are in the same town you are. This can make a big difference in the quality of the customer service you receive. Other companies use call centers in large metropolitan areas to provide their customer service and when you call the number provided to you by the company, you may be talking to someone across the country. Other companies outsource their customer service to other countries and you may have difficulty understanding the representative when you call.
By finding out the quality of customer service a company offers before you sign up with them, you may be able to avoid headaches down the road. Look online for customer reviews about the particular company you are interested in. In addition, ask them about their customer service, and look at their website as well. Some companies feature a live chat option where you can get instant help or answers to your questions. This is attractive because you don't have to wait on hold on the phone.
It is also important to consider the quality of the services the company provides. While this may be hard to determine before signing up with them, here again, customer reviews will come in handy. Look online for reviews and you will get a good idea of the quality of their services. While there will almost always be some negative reviews on any company, look to see what the majority of customers have to say before making a decision.

Is their a chat room for 11 year olds?
No 'chat rooms' exactly, but I suppose Club Penguin is one. 2 sign up, first click the box next 2 'i agree to the clubpenguin rules', then continue. Enter your desired penguin name, for instance, mine is 'snowglu'. Then click a colour you'd like you're penguin to be. (don't worry, you can change this later on in the game) If the penguin name is already taken, choose another. Then enter a password. I must be easy to remember, as you'll need it every time you log in. Dont share it with anyone! Once you've done that, type in your/your perants/guardians email. (Make sure they know that you're using it first or Clubpenguin can ban you) Then it will say the activation email has been sent. When the email arrives in the chosen email address, the activation code will be there. Click on the link, and hey presto! You're playing. To make it completely free chat, follow the steps in the 'help' section. Have fun playing! :D

ICMP is the "Internet Control Message Protocol". ICMP packets are small packets used in local networks and on the Internet, most typically, for network troubleshooting and problem location. ICMP may be used for reporting the route packets are taking to reach an arbitrary destination either locally or on the Internet or to determine if a particular local or Internet connected device is reachable and/or responding.
Various operating systems make use of the ICMP protocol for the above mentioned purposes via utilities such as 'traceroute' and 'ping' in the UNIX/Linux world, or 'tracert' and 'ping' in the Windows world.

Other than IP what is another example of a protocol that works at the Internet layer of TCP IP?
smtp, http, anything on that specific OSI layer.
Why Can't the IP address 169.254.226.4 be routed on the internet?
Addresses that start with 169.254 are assigned when the computer doesn't find a DHCP server. Probably they are not routed because the network won't be unique - you might have different networks with the same address range. Different subnets have to have different address ranges.

What are the Differences between a search engine and a website?
Yes there is in fact. It's a small difference but one anyways. A search engine is just that it searches, and in the context you are talking about its a web search engine but the term "Search Engine" can apply to many other things. A Web portal is more like yahoo. They offer mail, the weather, news, etc etc on the front page as well as a search Engine.
Difference between isp and osp and wsp?
ISP stands for Inside Plant and OSP stands for Outside Plant. According to Building Industry Construction Service International (BICSI), OSP is any network infrastructure installed external to buildings. ISP refers to cable installed inside of the building.
Risks of Posting on the internet?
well the danger is isn't just posting it its what you post because there was this one girl who posted on facebook that she (and her family) were going away for about four or five days and someone broke into her house luckily she was prepared because she had videocamra
In the 21st century, computers can be found almost everywhere... Computer applications support business in many ways: payroll processing, inventory management, accounts payables, etc. Computer applications support engineering in many ways: designing airplanes and cars, designing computers, etc. Computer applications control devices: robots, airplanes, cars, heating and A/C systems, etc. Computer applications support the health profession: MRIs, CAT scans, remote surgery, etc. Anytime you are on the internet, you are using a computer and interacting with a remote computer
What experience is required for computer science?
Rapidly changing technology requires an increasing level of skill and education on the part of employees. Companies look for professionals with an ever-broader background and range of skills, including not only technical knowledge, but also communication and other interpersonal skills. While there is no universally accepted way to prepare for a job as a network systems analyst, computer scientist, or database administrator, most employers place a premium on some formal college education. A bachelor's degree is a prerequisite for many jobs; however, some jobs may require only a 2-year degree. Relevant work experience also is very important. For more technically complex jobs, persons with graduate degrees are preferred.
For database administrator positions, many employers seek applicants who have a bachelor's degree in computer science, information science, or management information systems (MIS). MIS programs usually are part of the business school or college and differ considerably from computer science rograms, emphasizing business and management-oriented coursework and business computing courses. Employers increasingly seek individuals with a master's degree in business administration (MBA), with a concentration in information systems, as more firms move their business to the Internet. For some network systems and data communication analysts, such as webmasters, an associate degree or certificate is sufficient, although more advanced positions might require a computer-related bachelor's degree. For computer and information scientists, a doctoral degree generally is required because of the highly technical nature of their work.
Despite employers' preference for those with technical degrees, persons with degrees in a variety of majors find employment in these occupations. The level of education and the type of training that employers require depend on their needs. One factor affecting these needs is changes in technology. Employers often scramble to find workers capable of implementing new technologies. Workers with formal education or experience in information security, for example, are in demand because of the growing need for their skills and services. Employers also look for workers skilled in wireless technologies as wireless networks and applications have spread into many firms and organizations.
Most community colleges and many independent technical institutes and proprietary schools offer an associate's degree in computer science or a related information technology field. Many of these programs may be geared more toward meeting the needs of local businesses and are more occupation specific than are 4-year degree programs. Some jobs may be better suited to the level of training that such programs offer. Employers usually look for people who have broad knowledge and experience related to computer systems and technologies, strong problem-solving and analytical skills, and good interpersonal skills. Courses in computer science or systems design offer good preparation for a job in these computer occupations. For jobs in a business environment, employers usually want systems analysts to have business management or closely related skills, while a background in the physical sciences, applied mathematics, or engineering is preferred for work in scientifically oriented organizations. Art or graphic design skills may be desirable for webmasters or Web developers.
Jobseekers can enhance their employment opportunities by participating in internship or co-op programs offered through their schools. Because many people develop advanced computer skills in a noncomputer occupation and then transfer those skills to a computer occupation, a background in the industry in which the person's job is located, such as financial services, banking, or accounting, can be important. Others have taken computer science courses to supplement their study in fields such as accounting, inventory control, or other business areas.
Computer scientists and database administrators must be able to think logically and have good communication skills. Because they often deal with a number of tasks simultaneously, the ability to concentrate and pay close attention to detail is important. Although these computer specialists sometimes work independently, they frequently work in teams on large projects. They must be able to communicate effectively with computer personnel, such as programmers and managers, as well as with users or other staff who may have no technical computer background.
Computer scientists employed in private industry may advance into managerial or project leadership positions. Those employed in academic institutions can become heads of research departments or published authorities in their field. Database administrators may advance into managerial positions, such as chief technology officer, on the basis of their experience managing data and enforcing security. Computer specialists with work experience and considerable expertise in a particular subject or a certain application may find lucrative opportunities as independent consultants or may choose to start their own computer consulting firms.
Technological advances come so rapidly in the computer field that continuous study is necessary to keep one's skills up to date. Employers, hardware and software vendors, colleges and universities, and private training institutions offer continuing education. Additional training may come from professional development seminars offered by professional computing societies.
Certification is a way to demonstrate a level of competence in a particular field. Some product vendors or software firms offer certification and require professionals who work with their products to be certified. Many employers regard these certifications as the industry standard. For example, one method of acquiring enough knowledge to get a job as a database administrator is to become certified in a specific type of database management. Voluntary certification also is available through various organizations associated with computer specialists. Professional certification may afford a jobseeker a competitive advantage.

What are the ways of reducing load on routers?
Basically, the more antennas you have the faster your network can perform. Say you have 10 computers on your network with one router that only has one antenna. That one antenna is sending and receiving the requests for ten computers. when you incorporate additional routers, there are more antennas to manage the load from the ten computers. Also, if you set up a second wireless router as an access point in a different location than your primary router, you can double your wireless range.
Has the internet changed the way people live?
Easily! The world has become much smaller since the creation of internet. You can research just about anything without ever leaving home; vacations, hotels, medicine, any subject in school. You can find answers to questions you are clueless about...on sites like Wiki. You can visit art gallaries, map locations, map sites with cameras to check everything from jail cell behavior to squirrel behavior; views on freeways, to views of constellations. There are times you can log in and talk to astronauts WHILE they are in space. As for students, you now do joint projects with other kids all around the world in REAL time...you talk to each other, as it happens and can watch each other's expressions. You can write letters...without stamps, make calls...without phones, text message to phones, watch TV, and download songs all without ever leaving your chair. There are businesses now that are totally run from home and still connect to people around the world and where else could people in 10 countries all bid on some bizarre thing on auctions and work in the last minute to outbid each other. Let's not forget banking, applying for college, loans, buying cars, checking out library books...just download them onto your IPOD to save time, and do all this while you have pictures being sent out to print, answering mail, and watching a movie in different windows. Yep, just a little change.
How long does it take to upload a video on YouTube?
It depends on the file size. A 2 minute video could take 2 mins, 2 hours, 18 hours, or 5 days. Depends on your size of the file. I'm uploading 10-20 min. videos on youtube, and they range from 80 mb-180 mb in size and they always take from 30 mins to an hour to upload.
