The Cyber Bully: Putting an end to them
August 31st, 2010 | 
Author: After a three week hiatus and a horrible experience during server transition, wTek Computers is back up and running. Which means that it’s time to finish our little discussion on cyber-bullying. Unfortunately, this will be a short end to something that has been long awaited. In all my researching during the hiatus, I have found only one program that is worthy of notice to protecting your children and still allowing them their freedom. Everyone remembers McGruff. And because everyone remembers McGruff, it is only fitting that he has the solution to everything that revolves around this subject.

Hello world! We’re back!
Well, the transfer did not go as smoothly as possible. What can you really expect when you’re dealing with machines though. Have no fear or worries. After 2 weeks of wTek Computers withdrawal, you’re back on track now because we’re back up and running. Just finishing the importing of those wonderful little plugins and widgets that everyone liked so much, so just hold on to your mice and we’ll be good as new very soon.
Transfering Servers!
Well Hostgator.com. It’s been real, it’s been fun, but it hasn’t been real fun. Unfortunately ladies and gentlemen, we’re leaving hostgator.com and transferring to bluehost.com! So, our website might or might not be down and out for the next 24-48 hours. But don’t worry, we’ll be back up and running in no time!
The Cyber Bully: Watching You, Watching Him
Don’t let the title fool you, the cyber-bully isn’t truly watching you watch him. If it’s done right, the cyber-bully will never know that you’re watching. But that’s the trick. How do you watch the cyber-bully without the cyber-bully knowing you’re watching? The right software and you’re parental instincts. However, if you’re a seasoned teacher, you can use those instincts just the same because they are just as good.
The Cyber-Bully: Simply Put
A hot topic in today’s modern media is cyber-bullying. So, what is it? Do you remember when Tommy Tantrum would yank your gym shorts down in the middle of the gym, point and laugh and then later on that same day stuff your head in a toilet and flush it giving you a swirley? Or when little Susy Que would yank your hair in class and then shove you around in the hallway?
The Internet of Yester-year: How it gave birth to the Interwebs
Today’s lesson is an incredibly boring history lesson. And the first question we ask is: “Who knows what ARPA is – or was?”
Ha! Bet you thought it was really going to be boring, didn’t you? Well, it might be for some of you, for others it’ll probably be a nostalgic view of yesterday – or what seems like yesterday. And still others might think it’s a nice piece of information that they didn’t have before. So, brass tacks. What is – or was – ARPA? In the 1960′s, someone on Capital Hill probably got paranoid or ate some special brownies with someone else (the someone else being someone from ARPA) and then tax payer dollars got dumped into a slush fund to fund a variety of technology projects at research centers around the country. And I still have not answered my question. So, I’ll answer it now. ARPA stands for “Advanced Research Projects Agency.”
PC vs. Mac: 5 Round Fight
The controversy over which is better has been raging since the early 70′s: PC or Mac? Today, we look at that.
We have the PC lovers on one side, and the Mac lovers on the other side. Such a phenomenon seems to have created two warring cults that I have personally seen people come to blows over. We look at the following:
- What each type of computer can and cannot do.
- The physical specifications for each type of machine (physical dimensions).
- The technical specifications for each type of machine (the guts on the inside).
- The type of capabilities that each machine type’s software has – or does not have.
- Which is more cost effective?
Another Tek-no No-No
Well folks. Even the tekies goof sometimes and it just so happens that wTek goofed big time.
