When graffiti began?

Graffiti was used primarily by political activists to make statements and street gangs to mark territory. It wasn't till the late 1960s that writing's current identity started to form.The history of the underground art movement known by many names, most commonly termed graffiti begins in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during the mid to late '60s and is rooted in bombing.

The writers who are credited with the first conscious bombing effort are CORNBREAD and COOL EARL. They wrote their names all over the city gaining attention from the community and local press. It is unclear whether this concept made its way to New York City via deliberate efforts or if was a spontaneous occurrence.

Why are websites created?

Wiki.Answers.com was created because...Answers.com has gone through an evolution to get where it is today. It was originally a reference service, on a subscription basis, called GuruNet. After a few changes, the company/site went through some fundamental changes in 2005 to be called Answers.com and be free and available to everyone.

It is still partly about reference, but in 2006 Answers.com acquired FAQ Farm, a Q&A site based on the wiki platform. The name was changed to WikiAnswers soon after.

WikiAnswers was created for world-wide knowledge-sharing. Anyone from anywhere can ask, answer or edit questions and share whatever knowledge they have on any subject.

How can graffiti stopped?

Graffiti "taggers" think they have the right to draw or paint on walls as a method of self-expression, an outlet for their creativity or just for the buzz of breaking the law.

What are some drawbacks from using the internet for research?

If you get info from books or from various other printed sources in the library, you can guarantee that it is of a high standard and peer reviewed. There is lots of very useful academic info on the net, but you have to be careful. Generally if you get it from a .org or a .ac.uk (a British college or university site) or a .gov it's going to be more accurate than a .com. If you're at university, ask them about Athens: that gives you access to academic journals online. I have found Athens VERY useful.

Never cite Wikipedia in your work. By all means, look things up on Wiki, but ALWAYS search for the information elsewhere and cite the more reliable source. Wiki is useful, but make sure you varify it elsewhere and do not cite Wiki in your reference.

One of the Internet advantages as research tool is that we can have immediate access to a considerable amount of information with reference to a particular topic. Search engines, for example, are able to retrieve in a few seconds a list of websites ranked according to their relevance to that particular subject. But relevance is practically the only parameter considered by search engines . This means that selecting what information is useful and which not can be time-consuming and often non-productive without an attentive screening.

The disadvantage of the information on the Internet is that its reliability can be really uncertain. Inexpert people might confuse an high relevance of a source with its reliability . Actually 'relevance is no more a mark of reliability than being a frequently borrowed book in a library is a mark of its reliability' . Judging reliability is crucial in order to take advantage of one of the strength of the Internet, which is the diversity of the information .

What are the limitations of voip?

You can put a lock on it and then forget the code to unlock it. That's what I did. Also, with a voicemail system, you cannot listen to the beginning of an incoming message and decide to pick up the phone and speak to the caller directly, as you can with an answering machine.

Voice mail service is more of advantages than disadvantages because the service is always present to accept unattended phone calls leaving you with no missed calls.

What are the advantages of Ethernet lan?

# #*

It used to be that Ethernet networks were slower than fiber, T1 and T3 lines. However, Ethernet now has the gigabyte standard, which sends information across the wires at 100 gigabits per second, which is a reasonable speed for home users with several computers networked together. Ethernet is fast enough to transfer large files across a network without waiting hours for the file to complete the transfer.

#*

Ethernet cables are a standard, so it makes it easy for a user to purchase the right equipment and quickly install the cabling. For instance, if the user purchases a router or hub at the local computer hardware store, the Ethernet cables can be simply inserted into each port on the hardware devices. Computers often come pre-built with Ethernet network adapters, so users can insert cables quickly into the computer without any kind of network administration knowledge. For this reason, most household networks use Ethernet cabling standards.

Finding other types of cables like coax or fiber is more difficult for the average home user. Users who accidentally break a cable can find a replacement at almost any computer store. This makes it convenient to purchase equipment and replace any cables that break. It is also easy to find hardware that supports Ethernet connections. Most local computer hardware stores stock shelves with Ethernet network adapters, hubs and routers that conform to the Ethernet standard.
