Fiction Prompt
New Person in Town
The main character in your book is moving to your town (this could be Jakarta or a town you know better) If they’re a child they could be coming to JIS. Will he or she fit in?Why or why not? How are his or her tastes different from – or the same as – those of your hometown?
I read the book twilight, one of the main characters in this book is named Edward Cullen. Edward is a vampire. In my book 5 of the main characters are vampires, they are all Edwards " sisters and brothers". I think they would have trouble fitting in at JIS. But the thing about these vampires is that they don't suck human blood they are "vegetarians" they only dirnk animal blood, so they can go to school and lead a somewhat normal life. Most of them are 1000 to 500 years old.
If they walk out in the sun the glissen and glimer like glitter. They look extremly beautiful. So considering that there is alot of sun in Jakarta they would be glimmering alot. Aside from the sun they still are all so gorgeous. But it is hard for them to be so close to humans because of the way we smell. Edwards "dad" however is a doctor, he has trained himself to be able to stand to smell of blood. Edwards "youngest" brother Jasper cannot stand the smell of blood at all he lunges at where ever the smell is. So in this case the other main character, Bella, who is human has to be carful when she is around Edwards family. Bella is Edwards soul mate. JIS cost alot. but they are very rich so they would be able to afford to go t0 JIS. They try to live in overcast places because they glow in the sunlight.
I think it would be very hard for Edward and his family to live in Indonesia. The main thing is they cant be in the sun and the other thing is that they have to be able to catch and feed on animals. In other words they have to be able to go hunting for "food". Everwhere they move people would find them diffrent or they would be afraid of them. So i think it would be very hard for the Cullens to fit in in indonesia.

The Internet

So what is "the Internet"? The Internet is a gigantic collection of millions of computers, all linked together on a computer network. The network allows all of the computers to communicate with one another. A home computer may be linked to the Internet using a phone-line modem, DSL or cable modem that talks to an Internet service provider (ISP). A computer in a business or university will usually have a network interface card (NIC) that directly connects it to a local area network (LAN) inside the business. The business can then connect its LAN to an ISP using a high-speed phone line like a T1 line. A T1 line can handle approximately 1.5 million bits per second, while a normal phone line using a modem can typically handle 30,000 to 50,000 bits per second.ISPs then connect to larger ISPs, and the largest ISPs maintain fiber-optic "backbones" for an entire nation or region. Backbones around the world are connected through fiber-optic lines, undersea cables or satellite links (see An Atlas of Cyberspaces for some interesting backbone maps). In this way, every computer on the Internet is connected to every other computer on the Internet.

Domain Names

Because most people have trouble remembering the strings of numbers that make up IP addresses, and because IP addresses sometimes need to change, all servers on the Internet also have human-readable names, called domain names. For example, www.howstuffworks.com is a permanent, human-readable name. It is easier for most of us to remember www.howstuffworks.com than it is to remember 209.116.69.66.The name www.howstuffworks.com actually has three parts:The host name ("www")The domain name ("howstuffworks")The top-level domain name ("com") Domain names within the ".com" domain are managed by the registrar called VeriSign. VeriSign also manages ".net" domain names. Other registrars (like RegistryPro, NeuLevel and Public Interest Registry) manage the other domains (like .pro, .biz and .org). VeriSign creates the top-level domain names and guarantees that all names within a top-level domain are unique. VeriSign also maintains contact information for each site and runs the "whois" database. The host name is created by the company hosting the domain. "www" is a very common host name, but many places now either omit it or replace it with a different host name that indicates a specific area of the site. For example, in encarta.msn.com, the domain name for Microsoft's Encarta encyclopedia, "encarta" is designated as the host name instead of "www."

Clients and Servers

In general, all of the machines on the Internet can be categorized as two types: servers and clients. Those machines that provide services (like Web servers or FTP servers) to other machines are servers. And the machines that are used to connect to those services are clients. When you connect to Yahoo! at www.yahoo.com to read a page, Yahoo! is providing a machine (probably a cluster of very large machines), for use on the Internet, to service your request. Yahoo! is providing a server. Your machine, on the other hand, is probably providing no services to anyone else on the Internet. Therefore, it is a user machine, also known as a client. It is possible and common for a machine to be both a server and a client, but for our purposes here you can think of most machines as one or the other.A server machine may provide one or more services on the Internet. For example, a server machine might have software running on it that allows it to act as a Web server, an e-mail server and an FTP server. Clients that come to a server machine do so with a specific intent, so clients direct their requests to a specific software server running on the overall server machine. For example, if you are running a Web browser on your machine, it will most likely want to talk to the Web server on the server machine. Your Telnet application will want to talk to the Telnet server, your e-mail application will talk to the e-mail server, and so on...

IP Addresses

To keep all of these machines straight, each machine on the Internet is assigned a unique address called an IP address. IP stands for Internet protocol, and these addresses are 32-bit numbers, normally expressed as four "octets" in a "dotted decimal number." A typical IP address looks like this:216.27.61.137The four numbers in an IP address are called octets because they can have values between 0 and 255, which is 28 possibilities per octet.Every machine on the Internet has a unique IP address. A server has a static IP address that does not change very often. A home machine that is dialing up through a modem often has an IP address that is assigned by the ISP when the machine dials in. That IP address is unique for that session -- it may be different the next time the machine dials in. This way, an ISP only needs one IP address for each modem it supports, rather than for each customer.If you are working on a Windows machine, you can view a lot of the Internet information for your machine, including your current IP address and hostname, with the command WINIPCFG.EXE (IPCONFIG.EXE for Windows 2000/XP). On a UNIX machine, type nslookup at the command prompt, along with a machine name, like www.howstuffworks.com -- e.g. "nslookup www.howstuffworks.com" -- to display the IP address of the machine, and you can use the command hostname to learn the name of your machine. (For more information on IP addresses, see IANA.)As far as the Internet's machines are concerned, an IP address is all you need to talk to a server. For example, in your browser, you can type the URL http://209.116.69.66 and arrive at the machine that contains the Web server for HowStuffWorks. On some servers, the IP address alone is not sufficient, but on most large servers it is -- keep reading for details

Extras: Security

You can see from this description that a Web server can be a pretty simple piece of software. It takes the file name sent in with the GET command, retrieves that file and sends it down the wire to the browser. Even if you take into account all of the code to handle the ports and port connections, you could easily create a C program that implements a simple Web server in less than 500 lines of code. Obviously, a full-blown enterprise-level Web server is more involved, but the basics are very simple.Most servers add some level of security to the serving process. For example, if you have ever gone to a Web page and had the browser pop up a dialog box asking for your name and password, you have encountered a password-protected page. The server lets the owner of the page maintain a list of names and passwords for those people who are allowed to access the page; the server lets only those people who know the proper password see the page. More advanced servers add further security to allow an encrypted connection between server and browser, so that sensitive information like credit card numbers can be sent on the Internet.That's really all there is to a Web server that delivers standard, static pages. Static pages are those that do not change unless the creator edits the page

Extras: Dynamic Pages

But what about the Web pages that are dynamic? For example:Any guest book allows you to enter a message in an HTML form, and the next time the guest book is viewed, the page will contain the new entry.The whois form at Network Solutions allows you to enter a domain name on a form, and the page returned is different depending on the domain name entered.Any search engine lets you enter keywords on an HTML form, and then it dynamically creates a page based on the keywords you enter. In all of these cases, the Web server is not simply "looking up a file." It is actually processing information and generating a page based on the specifics of the query. In almost all cases, the Web server is using something called CGI scripts to accomplish this feat. CGI scripts are a topic unto themselves, and are described in the HowStuffWorks article How CGI Scripting Work.For more information on Web servers and related topics, check out the links on the next page.

Introduction to How Internet Infrastructure Works

One of the greatest things about the Internet is that nobody really owns it. It is a global collection of networks, both big and small. These networks connect together in many different ways to form the single entity that we know as the Internet. In fact, the very name comes from this idea of interconnected networks.");//-->Your browser does not support JavaScript or it is disabled.Since its beginning in 1969, the Internet has grown from four host computer systems to tens of millions. However, just because nobody owns the Internet, it doesn't mean it is not monitored and maintained in different ways. The Internet Society, a non-profit group established in 1992, oversees the formation of the policies and protocols that define how we use and interact with the Internet.In this article, you will learn about the basic underlying structure of the Internet. You will learn about domain name servers, network access points and backbones. But first you will learn about how your computer connects to others. \
