Secondhand Serenade - Reach For The Sky

Watch you waste away.
You were born to shine, left behind.
Slowly fades to grey.
Yet you say you are fine, but I fear you are blind.
How could you believe that you’ve done wrong?
You don’t believe in yourself.
Reach for the sky
I would pick you up if I could.
Open your eyes
I would pick you up if I could.
Listen to the sound,
of your days passing by while you live a lie.
Why’d you turn around,
why’d you say goodbye, was there no reply?
How could you believe that you’re not strong?
You don’t believe in anything.
So, reach for the sky
I would pick you up if I could.
Open your eyes
I would pick you up if I could.
And then I saw your face
and you were left alone
but you’re not alone
you’re not alone [x2]
Reach for the sky
I would pick you up if I could.
Open your eyes
I would pick you up if I could.
You’re not alone [x5]

Secondhand Serenade - Pretend

It seems all of these words couldn't be further from the truth
How did I get here? What did I do?

Your eyes, telling me lies
And making me find myself
While you have your agenda, a life to pursue

So please,
Let me be free from you.
And please, let me be free
I can face the truth.

I'm blind to all of your colors
That used to be rainbow then
My eyes, where did they go to?
Why disappear?

It's hard to be all alone
I never got through your disguise
I guess I'll just go, and face all my fear

So please,
Let me be free from you
And please, let me be free
I can face the truth.

Put down your world
Just for one night
Pick me again

So please,
Let me be free from you
And please, let me be free
I can face the truth

Secondhand serenade - Only Hope

my beating heart is getting tired
tonight it feels like it's on fire
and I'm driving all alone
my hand is on my phone
waiting for you to call me
please pick up the phone and call me
cause I'm lonely and my mind is aching
can't you see I'm for the taking

you are my only hope
but youre so far
and you are my only hope
so come back home
from where you are

I see your face on everyone
like the constant beating of the sun
right on my skin
I'm suffering without you
I'm tired i reach for my stereo
it's starting to sound real close to home
and I cant bear
to sleep here without you

you are my only hope
but you're so far
and you are my only hope
so come back home
from where you are

just come back home
from where you are
just come back home

sometimes I feel like I was mistaken
you must be an angel
sit down and teach me what life was all about
I see myself changing
no longer a stranger
you gave me a reason to never die

you are my only hope
but you're so far
and you are my only hope
so come back home
from where you are

Secondhand Serenade - Maybe

Didn't you want to hear
The sound of all the places we could go
Do you fear
The expressions on the faces we don't know
It's a cold hard road when you wake up
And I don't think that I
Have the strength to let you go

Maybe it's just me, Couldn't you believe
That everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving
And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
Makes me wish that I was never brought into this place

There goes my ring
It might as well have been shattered
And I'm here to sing
About the things that mattered
About the things that made us feel alive for oh so long
About the things that kept you on my side when I was wrong

Maybe it's just me, Couldn't you believe
That everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving
And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
Makes me wish that I was never brought into this place

And someday, I promise I'll be gone
And someday, I might even sing this song
To you, I might even sing this song, to you, to you, to you
And I was crying alone tonight
And I was wasting all of my life just thinking of you
So just come back we'll make it better
So just come back
I'll make it better than it ever was
I'll make it better than it ever was

Maybe it's just me, Couldn't you believe
That everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving
And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
Makes me wish that I was never brought into this place

Maybe it's just me, Couldn't you believe
That everything I said and did, wasn't just deceiving
And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
Makes me wish that I was never brought into this place

Secondhand Serenade - Like a Knife

I dream a lot, I know you say
I've got to get away.
"The world is not yours for the taking"
Is all you ever say.
I know I'm not the best for you,
But promise that you'll stay.
Cause if I watch you go,
You'll see me wasting, you'll see me wasting away

Cause today, you walked out of my life
Cause today, your words felt like a knife
I'm not living this life.

Goodbyes are meant for lonely people standing in the rain
And no matter where I go it's always pouring all the same.
These streets are filled with memories
Both perfect and in pain
And all I wanna do is love you
But I'm the only one to blame.

Cause today, you walked out of my life
Cause today, your words felt like a knife
I'm not living this life.

But what do I know, if you're leaving
All you did was stop the bleeding.
But these scars will stay forever,
These scars will stay forever
And these words they have no meaning
If we cannot find the feeling
That we held on to together
Try your hardest to remember

Stay with me,
Or watch me bleed,
I need you just to breathe.

Cause today, you walked out of my life
(Stay with me, or watch me bleed)
Cause today, your words felt like a knife
(I need you just to breathe.)
I'm not living this life

Secondhand Serenade - It's Not Over

My tears run down like razorblades and no, I'm not the one to blame: it's you or is it me?
And all the words we never say come out and now we are all ashamed. And there is no sense
In playing games, when you done all you can do.

But now it's over, it's over. Why is it over? We had the chance to make it. Now it's over,
It's over. It can't be over. I wish that I could take it back, but it's over.

I lose myself in all these fights; I lose my sense of wrong and right. I cry, I cry. I'm
Shaking from the pain that's in my head. I just want to crawl into my bed and throw away
The life I led. But I won't let it die. But I won't let it die.

But it's over, it's over. Why is it over? We had the chance to make it. Now it's over,
It's over. It can't be over. I wish that I could take it back.

I'm falling apart, I'm falling apart. Don't say this wont last forever. You're breaking
My heart, you're breaking my heart. Don't tell that we will never be together. We could be over
And over, we could be forever.

I'm falling apart, I'm falling apart. Don't say this wont last forever. You're breaking
My heart, you're breaking my heart. Don't tell that we will never be together. We could be over
And over, we could be forever.

It's not over. It's not over, it's never over, unless you let it take you, it's not over,
It's not over, it's not over, unless you let it break you. It's not over.

Secondhand Serenade - Is There Any Body Out There

You can say goodbye,
To all the things that you have ever known.
You can say goodbye,
And leave inside the life that you have grown.
What's the point,
You try to start from scratch,
but get let down,

You can say goodbye,
Just to realize there's no-one left around.
So what am I fighting for.

Tell me
Is there anybody out there,
Am I swimming through this empty sea alone,
Am I looking for an answer
Or am I trying to find a way to get back home.
Is there anybody out there,
Would you hear me if I screamed or if I cried,
I'm looking for an answer
And just trying to find a way to survive.

You can live or die,
Without the chance to find out what your worth,
You can live or die,
And never find the one that she'd deserve,
You can walk alone,
And live inside the shadows in your heart,

You can say goodbye
Or live and find out you've been alone right from the start
So what am I fighting for.

Tell me
Is there anybody out there,
am I swimming through this empty sea alone,
Am I looking for an answer,
Or am I trying to find a way to get back home.
Is there anybody out there,
Would you hear me if I screamed or if I cried,
I am looking for an answer
And just trying to find a way to survive.

Never thought I would end up all alone,
Every day I am feeling further away from home,
I can't catch my breath,
but I am holding on.

Is there anybody out there,
is this the last time I have to say goodbye,
Am I staring at my future,
Is it time to take charge of my life,

Is there anybody out there
Am I swimming through this empty sea alone,
Am I looking for an answer,
or am I trying to find a way to get back home,
Is there anybody out there,
Would you hear me if I screamed or if I cried,
I am looking for an answer,
And just trying to find a way to survive,
a way to survive,
and I am holding on.

Secondhand Serenade - Hear Me Now

Left everything behind me,
Searching for the strength I thought I had inside me,
Left you behind so lonely,
Praying for the day that you would somehow find me.

I was young
(you were wrong)
But I tried
(I was trying to give that I had lost through all I see)

Hear me now.
All I can say is I am not afraid,
Of the world that I am trying to put you in,
I fight everyday,
But I am to blame,
I am not innocent,
But I am not afraid.
*courtesy of Chordlaguindonesia.com
I lost all the things inside me,
(inside me)
Still have found myself with all the will to
Free me from you,
I’m asleep,
I’m happy,
(I’m happy)
Want to know so much for you to someday see me.

Tell me how,
(I want to)
Sing it loud,
(I need you to be the one who catches all my dreams)

Hear me now
All I can say,
Is I am not afraid of the world that I am trying to put you in,
I fight everyday,
But I am to blame,
I am not innocent,
But I am not afraid anymore,
I am not afraid,
Anymore…

I’m tired of sleeping,
Alone I’ve been grieving,
The life that I gave up to feel alive,
I want to feel alive..

I’m not afraid,
Anymore,
I’m not afraid,
Anymore,

I’m not afraid, (I want to feel alive)
Anymore, (I want to feel alive)
I’m not afraid, (I want to feel, I need to feel)
Anymore, (I want to feel alive)
[X4]

I’m not afraid, (hold on tight)
Anymore, (let’s make this right)
I’m not afraid (take me, come with me, feel alive tonight)

Secondhand Serenade - Half Alive

It's four AM, I'm waking up to your perfume
Don't get up, I'll get through on my own
I don't know if I'm home
Or if I lost the way into your room
I'm spiraling into my doom
I'm feeling half alive but I know one day
You and I will be free,

To live and die by our own rules,
Free..
Despite the fact that men are fools.

I'm almost alive, and I need you to try
And save me.
It's okay that we're dying,
But I need to survive tonight, tonight.

Well excuse me while I get killed softly,
Heart slows down and I can hardly tell you I'm okay
At least 'til yesterday,
You know you got me off my highest guard,
Believe me when I say it's hard.
We'll get through this tonight
And I know one day you and I will be free

To live and die by our own rules,
Free..
Despite the fact that men are fools.

I'm almost alive, and I need you to try
And save me.
It's okay that we're dying,
But I need to survive tonight, tonight.

And you touch my hand ever so slightly
(Girl we're not ready for this yet)
And the deadly look she cast upon me
I won't regret, I won't regret
I won't regret. I won't regret...

And I was trying to disappear,
But you got me wrapped around you
I can hardly breathe without you
I was trying to disappear
But I got lost in your eyes now,
You brought me down to size now.

I'm almost alive
And I need you to try and save me.
It's okay that we're dying
But I need to survive tonight, tonight
Tonight...

I'm almost alive, and I need you to try
And save me.
It's okay that we're dying,
But I need to survive tonight, tonight.
I need to survive tonight, tonight

What Is Secondhand Serenade?

Secondhand Serenade is the name of John Vesely's primarily solo musical project. It follows in the tradition of John Ondrasik's Five for Fighting. Vesely's first recordings as Secondhand Serenade consisted of simply his solo acoustic guitar and vocals. However, more recent work includes the presence of a full band.
The name Secondhand Serenade is an autobiographical one. According to John Vesely most of his songs are originally sung to his wife as serenades. Music fans hear them only secondhand. Hence the name Secondhand Serenade.

John Vesely's Early Career:

John Vesely is the son of a Czech immigrant who spent more than 20 years as a professional jazz musician. He began his musical career as a journeyman bass player in the San Francisco Bay area. After meeting his wife, Vesely switched to the acoustic guitar and began writing songs. In an interview with Zero Mag, he said his future wife wanted him to play her a song and "serenading her with a bass guitar was out of the question."

'Awake'

John Vesely recorded Awake, his first solo album as Secondhand Serenade, in 2005. It was promoted on MySpace. In 2006 Secondhand Serenade became the #1 Independent Artist on MySpace. His songs were played millions of times through the site. Record labels soon came calling and Secondhand Serenade signed a contract with Glassnote Records, a newly formed label distributed through Warner Brothers.
Awake was re-released by Glassnote in January 2007. It landed on the Billboard Top 200 album chart, and included the chart single "Vulnerable." Vesely promoted the album with extensive touring and TV appearances.

'A Twist In My Story':

A Twist In My Story, a second Secondhand Serenade album, appeared in February 2008. It features many songs with a full band backing. The album debuted at #44 on the Billboard album chart and sold 16000 copies in its first week. The single "Fall for You" began a slow rise on pop music charts in the spring slowly picking up pop radio airplay. By summer "Fall For You" was in the pop top 40.

Secondhand Serenade - Fix You

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home,
And ignite your bones,
And I will try to fix you,

High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Secondhand Serenade - Fall For You

The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breathe
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Your impossible to find

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you i'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may of failed
But I have loved you from the start
Ohhhh

But hold your breathe
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible

So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I'm yours to keep
And hold onto your words
Cuz talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When your asleep

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Your impossible to find

(Kelas 9) Pengertian Browser

          Browser dalam dunia internet adalah software atau alat yang digunakan untuk menjelajah internet. Pengertian browser tersebut sejalan dengan istilah “browse” dalam bahasa inggris yang artinya melihat-lihat atau membaca-baca. Arti browser oleh beberapa kalangan disamakan pula sebagai “perambah”.
Beberapa browser cukup terkenal antara lain;
1. Mozilla Firefox
2. Google Chrome
3. Microsoft Internet Explorer
4. Opera
5. Safari dll
           Microsoft Internet Explorer (biasa disebut IE) pernah menjadi browser yang paling “berkuasa” beberapa tahun yang lalu. Namun belakangan ini popularitasnya tergusur dengan munculnya browser-browser gratis seperti Mozilla Firefox dan Google Chrome.
           Sesuai dengan namanya Google Chrome adalah browser yang dikeluarkan oleh Google, sebuah perusahaan search engine terkemuka didunia.
           Safari adalah browser besutan perusahaan Amerika bernama Apple yang mungkin kurang dikenal oleh kebanyakan orang yang menggunakan sistem operasi WIndows. Namun Safari boleh jadi lebih populer bagi kalangan yang menggunakan sistem operasi Mac yang juga merupakan besutan Apple.
Sedangkan Opera adalah browser yang menerbitkan versi mini untuk pengguna HandPhone, yang pernah mengklaim sebagai browser tercepat didunia. Terlepas dari itu semua, semoga penjelasan kangmoes mengenai pengertian browser diatas bermanfaat bagi anda.

Secondhand Serenade - Distance

I’m driving down the highway
Cold and dark, dead
(It’s deceiving)
It’s deceiving
And miles and miles pass by
And I’m alone
My eyes feel like they’re bleeding
But I’m just crying

Is this what I ask for?
Is this what I ask for?

I hate myself when I’m away from you
I swear I’m sorry
Please don’t hate me too
And I don’t know if my heart will make It through
I swear I’m sorry
Please don’t hate me too

I don’t suppose you heard me
Call your name, girl
If you say louder,
Then I’ll scream louder
The cities in between us block the way
They make it harder
But I’ll scream louder

Is this what I ask for?
Is this what I ask for?

I hate myself when I’m away from you
I swear I’m sorry
Please don’t hate me too
And I don’t know if my heart will make
It through
I swear I’m sorry
Please don’t hate me too

(Don’t hate me)
Don’t fail now
Hold on to hope
Cause I’m yours
I’m coming home to you soon
(I’m coming home)
Cause the road is very worn
And It’s begging me to come back
(To You)

I hate myself when I’m away from you
I swear I’m sorry
(I’m sorry)
Please don’t hate me too
(I’m coming home)
Don’t hate me too
Please don’t hate me too

(Materi Kelas 9) Pengembangan GPRS

1.Generasi 2,75G

 Generasi 2,75G dikenal dengan generasi EDGE. EDGE diperkenalkan oleh AT&T di Amerika Serikat pada tahun 2003. Secara teknis sebetulnya EDGE telah memenuhi standar 3G yang ditetapkan oleh ITU. Teknologi ini dapat mengirimkan data lebih cepat dari 2.5G.

 2.Generasi 3G

Teknologi 3G terbagi menjadi GSM dan CDMA. Teknologi 3G sering disebut dengan mobile broadband karena keunggulannya sebagai modem untuk internet yang dapat dibawa ke mana saja. Perkembangan teknologi 3G secara komersial dimulai pada Oktober, 2001, ketika NTTDoCoMo dari Jepang dengan teknologi W-CDMA menjual produknya untuk pertama kali secara terbatas. Kemudian disusul oleh SK Telecom, Korea Selatan pada tahun 2002 dengan teknologi 1xEV-DO, diikuti oleh KTF dari Korea Selatan dengan teknologi EV-DO. Keberhasilan layanan 3 G di kedua negara ini disebabkan oleh faktor dukungan pemerintah. Pemerintah Jepang tidak mengenakan biaya di muka (upfront fee) atas penggunaan lisensi spektrum 3G atas operator-operator di Jepang (ada tiga operator: NTT Docomo, KDDI dan Vodafone). Sedangkan pemerintah Korea Selatan, walau pun mengenakan biaya di muka, memberikan insentif dan bantuan dalam pengembangan nirkabel pita lebar (Korea Selatan adalah negara yang menggunakan Cisco Gigabit Switch Router terbanyak di dunia) sebagai bagian dalam strategi pengembangan infrastruktur.

Di Eropa, dipelopori oleh British Telecom dan Telenor dengan teknologi W-CDMA pada Desember 2001. Di Amerika Serika jaringan 3G dipelopori oleh Monet Mobile Networks dengan teknologi CDMA20001xEV-DO, diikuti oleh Verizon Wireless pada tahun 2003. Di Australia jaringan 3G komersial pertama kali diperkenalkan oleh Hutchinson Telecommunication dengan nama Three pada bulan maret 2003. Pada bulan Desember 2007 jaringan 3G telah dioperasikan di 40 negara dan 154 jaringan HSDPA telah beroperasi di 71 negara, dan 200 juta pelanggan telah terhubung melalui jaringan 3G.

Perkembangan teknologi 3G mengharuskan pengaturan spektrum secara global, melalui penyediaan pita (band) yang lebih luas. Adanya teknologi 3G sebagai hasil pengembangan teknologi generasi kedua, yaitu hasil perkembangan evolusioner, yang masih menggunakan perangkat jaringan 2G yang diperluas dan hasil perkembangan revolusioner yang memerlukan jaringan dan alokasi frekuensi yang sama sekali baru. Secara evolusioner, IMT-2000 telah menerapkan dua macam evolusi ke 3G, yakni dari 2G CDMA standard IS-95 (cdmaOne) ke IMT-SC (cdma2000) dan dari 2G TDMA standars (GSM/IS-136) ke IMT-SC (EDGE). Secara revolusioner, IMT-2000 membangun alokasi spektrum yang baru terkait tuntutan saluran yang makin luas.

Salah Paham Akan 3G

Ada beberapa pemahaman yang salah tentang 3G dalam masyarakat umum:

1. Layanan 3G tidak bisa tanpa ada cakupan layanan 3G dari operator. Hanya membeli sebuah handset 3G, tidak berarti bahwa layanan 3G dapat dinikmati. Handset dapat secara otomatis pindah ke jaringan 3G bila, pelanggan tidak menerima cakupan 3G. Sehingga bila seseorang sedang bergerak dan menggunakan layanan video call, kemudian terpaksa berpindah ke jaringan 2G, maka layanan video call akan putus.
2. Layanan 3G berada pada frekuensi 1.900 Mhz. ITU-T memang mendefinisikan layanan 3G untuk GSM pada frekuensi 1.900 Mhz dengan lebar pita sebesar 60 Mhz. Namun, pada umumnya, teknologi berbasis CDMA2000 menggunakan spektrum di frekuensi 800 Mhz, atau yang biasa dikenal sebagai spektrum PCS (Personal Communication System).

Kelebihan dan kekurangan 3G

1. Kelebihan: Perkembangan teknologi pita lebar bergerak menguntungkan baik untuk dunia bisnis, pemerintahan maupun perorangan, karena semakin baru teknologinya semakin besar data yang dapat dikirimkan dalam waktu yang lebih singkat. Jenis data yang dapat dikirimkan juga menjadi lebih beragam, tidak hanya huruf dan angka, tetapi juga gambar diam, gambar bergerak, dan suara.
2. Kekurangan: Disamping harganya lebih mahal, perlu diperhatikan aspek keamanannya dan aspek etika di dalam penggunaan teknologi yang baru. Peran ITU sangat penting di sini.Penyedia jasa layanan pita lebar bergerak harus membangun jaringan baru yang memerlukan investasi yang sangat besar.

Generasi 3,5G

Generasi 3,5G merupakan pengembangan dari 3G yang memungkinkan pengiriman data lebih cepat. Perbandingan antara 3G dan 3,5G terlihat jelas pada kecepatan transmisinya. Pada 3G, kecepatan transmisi maksimal 384kbps, sementara pada 3,5G kecepatan transmisi maksimal mencapai 3,6Mbps. Generasi 3G dan 3,5G mendukung layanan video call yang

Generasi 4G

Belakangan ini industri nirkabel mulai mengembangkan teknologi 4G, meskipun sebenarnya teknologi 4G ini seperti Long Term Evolution (LTE) hanya merupakan evolusi dari teknologi 3GPP dan Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB) berasal dari 3GPP2, sehingga sulit untuk membedakan dengan jelas teknologi 3G dan 4 G. Salah satu teknolgoi 4G yaitu WiMax mobile standard telah diterima oleh ITU untuk ditambahkan pada IMT-2000, sehingga teknologi baru ini masih digolongkan ke dalam keluarga 3G. International Telecommunication Union (ITU) sedang mempelajari kemampuan mobile broadband yang disebut IMT-advanced yang disebut teknologi generasi keempat (4G). Diharapkan ITU segera melaksanakan penggunaan IMT-2000 (3G) dan IMT-Advanced (4G), konsekuensinya ITU harus menambah pita baik dibawah 1 GHz maupun diatas 2GHz.

(Materi Kelas 9) Keamanan Data

Keamanan data telah menjadi bagian dari pengembangan teknologi informasi mengingat bahwa berjuta-juta bit informasi telah dipertukarkan dalam jaringan komputer terutama di internet. Masalah keamanan data dapat diklassifikasi kedalam beberapa dimensi. Suatu situs komersial misalnya harus memenuhi persayaratan berikut ini.

• Secrecy: kategori kemanan komputer yang meliputi perlindungan data/informasi terhadap akses dari pihak-pihak yang tidak berhak serta masalah keaslian (autentik) dari sumber data/informasi. Masalah secrecy berkaitan dengan proses enkripsi-dekripsi serta proses autentikasi.
• Integrity: kategori keamanan data yang menjamin bahwa data tidak terganggu selama proses transfer dari sumber ke tujuan melalui saluran-saluran komunikasi. Masalah integrity berkaitan dengan bagaimana melindungi data dari penyusup yang berusaha masuk ke sumber data, atau menyusup dalam jaringan data, untuk mengubah dan merusak. Masalah virus yang bisa menghancurkan data juga menjadi bagian dari integrity.
• Availability: kategori keamanan data yang bisa mempertahankan sumber informasi agar selalu sedia dan aktif melayani para penggunanya. Masalah availability berkaitan dengan usaha melindungi server dari gangguan yang bisa menyebabkan server gagal memberi pelayanan (denial of service / DOS).

(Materi Kelas 9) Wi-fi

Wireless Fidelity atau Wi-fi , yang memiliki pengertian yaitu sekumpulan standar yang digunakan untuk Jaringan Lokal Nirkabel (Wireless Local Area Networks - WLAN) yang didasari pada spesifikasi IEEE 802.11. Standar terbaru dari spesifikasi 802.11a atau b, seperti 802.11 g, saat ini sedang dalam penyusunan, spesifikasi terbaru tersebut menawarkan banyak peningkatan mulai dari luas cakupan yang lebih jauh hingga kecepatan transfernya
Awalnya Wi-Fi ditujukan untuk penggunaan perangkat nirkabel dan Jaringan Area Lokal (LAN), namun saat ini lebih banyak digunakan untuk mengakses internet. Hal ini memungkinan seseorang dengan komputer dengan kartu nirkabel (wireless card) atau personal digital assistant (PDA) untuk terhubung dengan internet dengan menggunakan titik akses (atau dikenal dengan hotspot) terdekat.

Kelebihan dan Kekurangan Mailing List ( Materi Kelas 9)

Kelebihan

1. Semua anggota di suatu milis dapat menerima informasi-informasi yang hanya disiarkan di milis tersebtu karena ketika seorang anggota di dalam daftar mengirim catatan ke grup tersebut, e-mail akan disiarkan ke semua anggota daftar.
2. Para anggota milis akan selalu merasa terkinikan (up-to-date) dengan adanya diskusi berbasis web ini, yang membuat setiap berita yang masuk ke dalam milis menjadi pesan baru di setiap inbox anggotanya.

Kekurangan

1. Milis kurang praktis untuk beberapa hal. Misalnya, setiap e-mail yang terkirim ke milis akan terkirim juga ke alamat e-mail pengirim. Apabila seseorang jarang membacanya, maka inbox e-mail yang bersangkutan akan penuh terisi milis. Padahal, kapasitas email sangat terbatas. Full inbox juga dapat membuat pesan-pesan non-milis terselip, sehingga tidak terbaca. Padahal, pesan tersebut bisa jadi sangat penting.
2. Milis tidak bersifat interaktif untuk diskusi karena seseorang tidak dapat menggolongkan pesan berdasarkan temanya. Misalnya, untuk komunikasi internal sebuah organisasi, seseorang memerlukan semacam direktori, sehingga wacana atau informasi untuk bidang hubungan kemasyarakatan (humas) tidak bercampur dengan kesekretariatan. Atau agenda-agenda yang menjadi program humas dapat dibahas lebih terperinci.
3. Milis merepotkan pengguna jika harus me-reply (menjawab) suatu pesan karena harus menyertakan pesan sebelumnya yang telah di-reply.

Secondhand Serenade - A Twist In My Story

Slow down, the world isn’t watching us break down
It’s safe to say we are alone now, we’re alone now
Not a whisper, the only noise is the receiver
I’m counting the seconds until you break the silence
So please just break the silence


The whispers turn to shouting
The shouting turns to tears
Your tears turn into laughter
And it takes away our fears

So you see, this world doesn’t matter to me
I’ll give up all I had just to breathe
The same air as you till the day that I die
I can’t take my eyes off of you

And I’m longing, for words to describe how I’m feeling
I’m feeling inspired
My world just flip turned upside down
It turns around, say what’s that sound
It’s my heart beat, it’s getting much louder
My heart beat, is stronger than ever
I’m feeling alive, I’m feeling alive

My whispers turn to shouting
The shouting turns to tears
Your tears turn into laughter
And it takes away our fears

So you see, this world doesn’t matter to me
I’ll give up all I had just to breathe
The same air as you till the day that I die
I can’t take my eyes off of you

I’m finally waking up, a twist in my story
It’s time I open up, and let your love right through me
I’m finally waking up, a twist in my story
It’s time I open up, and let your love right through me
That’s what you get
When you see your life in someone else’s eyes
That’s what you get, that’s what you get

So you see, this world doesn’t matter to me
I’ll give up all I had just to breathe
The same air as you till the day that I die
I can’t take my eyes off of you
This world doesn’t matter to me
I’ll give up all I had just to breathe
The same air as you till the day that I die
I can’t take my eyes off of you
