1 The Bernard E. Witkin School of Law The W. Edwards Deming School of Business Master of Science in Taxation Program CATALOG SUPPLEMENT AUGUST 2006 The University s School of Business is dedicated to the memory of W. Edwards Deming ( ), a consultant and academic scholar recognized as the father of the total quality management movement and a proponent of life-long learning. (A Non-Resident Directed Independent Study Degree Program for Accounting and Tax Professionals) This catalog supplement should be carefully reviewed in conjunction with the General University Catalog by individuals considering application to the Master of Science in Taxation (M.S.T.) Program. Additional catalog supplements are available for other University degree programs. Any further questions on the information contained in this catalog supplement should be directed to the Admissions Office at the address or telephone numbers below: William Howard Taft University 3700 South Susan Street Santa Ana, California (800) (714) William Howard Taft University
2 OVERVIEW The Master of Science in Taxation (M.S.T.) Program (hereinafter the Program) is a directed independent study program specifically designed for certified public accountants and other tax professionals. Using many of the same reference materials found in the offices of tax professionals, the Program provides the conceptual understanding and technical competence advantageous for advancement in the tax consulting profession, corporate finance departments, and government tax agencies. Consistent with the AICPA Statement on Standards for Continuing Professional Education Programs, the University recommends fifteen credits (hours) be awarded for each semester unit completed. CPE credits are earned at the time a course is completed. With respect to continuing education for enrolled agents, courses within the Program also meet the standards of Treasury Department Circular 230. PRESENTATION The Program is presented on a trimester basis. Students are generally enrolled in 13 units per trimester. Each trimester consists of a minimum time period of 16 weeks from the date study commences. Students not completing all trimester coursework in 16 weeks will be granted an extension of time to complete the trimester. Such extensions normally may not exceed 32 weeks. Students may take a leave-of-absence between trimesters. However, except in special circumstances, the entire degree program (3 trimesters) must be completed within 5 years. The Program utilizes a directed independent study modality and requires no classroom attendance. Prior students have resided in all regions of the United States as well as Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. INSTRUCTIONAL POLICIES AND METHODS Each course in the Program contains a series of Lesson Assignments generally consisting of reading assignments in academic and technical publications. The majority of assignments are submitted electronically. (Internet access and minimum computer skills are required as a condition of admittance.) Students are tested through open-book objective examinations and research assignments. The University faculty believes objective examinations and assignments are appropriate in this type of program since students are encouraged to develop proficient research and analytical skills, rather than merely memorizing rules of law. Course materials are updated on a regular basis and assignments are always based on current tax law. 1

6 ANSWERS TO THE MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1. Q. How long does it take to complete the Program? A. The University s commitment to the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council precludes any student graduating from a University degree program in less than one year. Students may take as long as five years to complete the Program. Experience has shown the typical student will complete the Program in two to three years. 2. Q. Will you accept transfer credits from other M.S.T. Programs? A. Regulations of the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education limit transfer credits to 6 semester units or the equivalent. Applicants seeking transfer credit should include complete information on prior graduate studies at the time of application. 3. Q. Can courses I ve taken through Taft s School of Continuing Education be applied toward the Program? A. No. The purpose of the courses offered through Taft s School of Continuing Education is merely to satisfy the requirements of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and various State Boards of Accountancy. While the subject matter of courses offered in the Program may be identical in some instances, the scope and course requirements are much greater for the Graduate School of Business. 5. Q. I m not sure I want to complete the entire Program, can I take just one course rather than enroll in the entire Program? A. No. Students are enrolled in 13 units (3 to 5 courses) each trimester. However, a student who elects not to complete the Program or enroll in additional trimesters has no financial obligation to the University beyond the current trimester. 6. Q. What financial aid and tuition financing alternatives are available? A. Many students are eligible for financial aid through employer tuition reimbursement programs and/or the University s Partners in Professional Education SM (PIPE SM ) Program. One hundred percent financing of tuition and books is available through Wells Fargo Bank and SLM Financial Corporation, a Sallie Mae company, to qualified borrowers. In addition, the University offers a no interest financing alternative which permits students to pay approximately 30% of tuition at the time of enrollment and the balance over a 5 month period. 7. Q. Why does the University require a minimum of three years occupational experience in accounting or taxation for this Program? A. A student is expected to possess a basic understanding of the federal tax system prior to admission. (The Program does not devote any time to the mechanical preparation of tax returns.) In addition, the University believes practical experience is an important element in the development of a tax professional. 4. Q. How much Continuing Professional Education credit can I expect my state board will accept? A. Consistent with the AICPA Statement on Standards for Continuing Professional Education Programs, the University recommends fifteen credits (hours) be awarded for each semester unit completed. CPE credit is earned at the time an individual course in the Program is completed Q. Is there ever a need to come to California? A. No. Academic and administrative procedures are carefully designed so that students can complete all requirements for graduation entirely by independent study, without unreasonably disrupting their professional or family lives. Students may elect to take examinations at the University or at over 300 approved testing sites. If a testing site is not convenient to a student, procedures are in place for the student to nominate a proctor.
7 ANSWERS TO THE MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Concluded 9. Q. Will I need to complete courses pursuant to a rigid timetable? A. No. Each trimester must generally be completed in not less than 16 weeks nor more than 48 weeks. However, completion of assignments within this time period is at the discretion of the student. There are no assignments that must be submitted on a weekly or monthly schedule and students may take time off between trimesters. However, except in special circumstances, the entire Program must be completed within five years from the date of matriculation. 10. Q. How soon can I get started? A. The University maintains open enrollment throughout the year. Applications are reviewed weekly and most students commence study within three weeks from the date of application. 6

Posts Tagged 'Patti Smith'
Nostalgic for Cowboy Mouth I indulged in Patti's little sermon here.
This website also features Sophie Calle, one of my favourite artists and the inspration behind What Have You Done To Me?
By The Town Centre.
Cowboy Mouth is a surreal, poetic piece dreamt up by Shepard and Smith in a war of words that lasted for two nights. Every reference in the play is infused with the true character of these two icons and the dynamic of their volatile love affair. Their performance on April 29, 1971 at the American Place Theater is shrouded in mystery and intrigue, with Shepard presenting a double bill of his plays: Back Bog Beast Bait, starring his wife, followed by Cowboy Mouth with Smith. According to his friends, it was "one of the wildest autobiographies he ever produced and one of the most exciting performances they'd ever seen." However, on the third night, unable to cope with the goldfish effect of playing out his reality on stage, Shepard vanished, forcing the show to close.
Legend has that the fellow playing the Lobster Man bit part in Cowboy Mouth then found himself holding a gun to his head in a puff of smoke with flickering fluorescent lights on his face. His lobster shell had gone and behind him stood a tall pregnant cosmic matriarch. Patti was asleep in the bed and Sam had disappeared. During the course of the next 45 minutes he navigated an exstential dilemma: was he a lobster or was he Josh, an actor in a lobster suit? Who was the matriarch and why was she whispering to him? Who would help him keep all these planets she kept giving him in orbit? Or was he in fact, the one who was meant to play Slim in the first place?
Love It Up is an absurdist post-dramtic theatrical adventure inspired by Timothy Leary's writings about LSD. The work takes the performers and audience combined on a deconstructed journey through psychadelic imagery, the universe, the poetry of Allen Ginsberg and leaves us with more questions than answers.
In the end it is the audience that decide what's real and what isn't, who's telling the truth and who's faking it.

Foul-mouthed and fallen, they're both as mean as snakes and living in the dream of too many morning-afters. This hazy hyper-reality is the perfect introduction to Love it Up, an experimental choreographic study on the outer thought of LSD.

The simple explanation about VPN software.
Security – that's the short of it. People use VPNs to secure their data from unwanted viewers when browsing the Internet. A VPN (Virtual Private Network) allows computers or networks to connect to each other securely over the Internet. Traditionally, companies used VPNs to create secure, remote connections to an existing network, but many consumer users now utilise the technology to shield their personal data while exploring the Internet. While certain media providers may downplay it, there are many sensible other reasons why someone would want to use a VPN.
Here, we discuss VPN's various uses and some companies that provide VPN services to Australians.

What is a VPN?
When we use a VPN, the data we transmit is pushed through an encrypted "tunnel". This data cannot be read by anybody without access to the private network due to several security features, such as a firewall between the client and the host server.
Encryption: Data travelling from one source to another is often encrypted in a particular way that only the computer receiving it can recognise.
In order to stop any confusion, it's important to understand the different uses of VPNs. Consumer and corporate uses differ, although both are used to establish a secure connection from a user's computer.
Corporate VPN
Private files can be transferred from companies and organisations (such as universities) over a public network. This comes in handy when employees are working remotely, or when companies need to communicate with international offices privately.
Consumer VPN
General consumers typically use VPN tunnels as a security measure. Usually when we surf the internet, the connection goes through our ISP (Internet Service Provider) to access the websites we browse (Facebook, Twitter, Gmail etc.). This means that your ISP (iinet, Telstra, Optus) potentially has access to your browsing history. It also leaves users vulnerable to hackers.
A consumer VPN funnels the user's internet access through a private server. Once connected through the consumer VPN, it's technically no longer you accessing the Internet, but rather your VPN. This is especially handy when using public Wi-Fi hotspots at restaurants, cafes and libraries, as these public hotspots do not provide a secure and private connection to the internet.
What can a VPN be used for?
There are many different providers of secure VPN services - more on that in a moment - but first, what do you get by using a VPN? Well, as mentioned, VPN use is first and foremost about security. But, the impact that has on you, the user, can differ depending on your needs.
- Universities and companies will sometimes provide a free VPN service that allows students and staff to access the establishment's resources when they are away from the campus/office. Again, VPNs would be especially useful for these people when transferring confidential files over a public Wi-Fi network.
- Shoppers on the Internet may also use a VPN to purchase geographically restricted content or to avoid taxes imposed by their country of origin. For example, if you happen to be an Australian and a big App Store shopper, you could access the service via a VPN to avoid the GST that is tacked onto game and application transactions.
- Privacy concerns surrounding the Internet have always been prominent. And it's a reasonable fear when we are increasingly putting more and more of our personal details online through payments and services like PayPal. At any given time, we are either surfing the Internet freely, or under a monitored environment (one that might be enforced in a workplace). Using a VPN restricts prying eyes from being able to intercept files you may consider personally valuable or incriminating. This does not necessarily mean legally incriminating; it could be something as simple as an embarrassing photo or a private email.
- Geoblocked content restricts users overseas from viewing content from another country. Imagine, you're travelling abroad and you want to check up on your NRL team's latest match. You access the website and attempt to watch the highlights only to be met with a message that says 'this video is not available in your country'. As most VPNs have servers in countries all over the globe, accessing the website through a trusted VPN would enable you to view the previously blocked video.
Is accessing blocked content with a VPN legal?
Well, it's not very clear. There's not much evidence to suggest that using a VPN to access geoblocked content is illegal, but it's important to check with your VPN provider, as this may be breaching the terms and conditions you agreed upon when signing up. Getting caught out could lead to your VPN service being cancelled, and you could lose credits and access to your downloads. Streaming paid services not available in Australia, like Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime through a VPN, however, could potentially land you in hot water. Streaming content through a VPN could cost you up to $10,200 and potential legal action from the content owner. And, just because you're paying a membership fee, doesn't mean that the service has the right to sell this content to you as it wouldn't be licensed in Australia. It could also be considered fraudulent if you have provided a fake postcode or address when signing up, which could be damaging if by chance the case ever landed you in court.
The Copyright Act of 1968 makes it illegal to access content that has "Technological Protection Measures." Although many argue that geoblocking is not technically a "Technology Protection Measure" and therefore may not be covered by the act. Yet, there is no official ruling on the matter, so any court ruling would generally depend on the leniency and background knowledge of the judge.
Similarly, your rights when using overseas-based companies to purchase goods may not be protected by Australian law. And some companies refuse to recognise products and warranties purchased internationally under domestic consumer law.
So, what's the verdict? Well, it's dicey. Paying to stream TV services not available in your country through a VPN is not recommended, as neither your VPN or the service provider are obliged to support you if you're activity is discovered. But, then again, services like Netflix are now available in Australia, so there's no longer as much of a need for Australians to look for alternative viewing options.
Aside from that, it's important to be wary of international warranties while shopping through overseas companies.Back to top
What does using a VPN have to do with the Australian Government's Data Retention Scheme?
As you may have heard in recent news, the Australian Government has just passed a bill for a mandatory data retention scheme. Telcos and Internet service providers will now be required to store your non-content data for a two-year period to help law enforcement agencies in criminal investigations. Many consider the bill a huge threat to privacy, and just a generally useless idea, as the same scheme has shown to be of little help combatting crime in countries like the Netherlands. But, that's a different story.
The metadata that will be retained includes information such as your billing information, traffic data (numbers called and texted etc.), location of communications and quantity of uploads and downloads. So, if you're a stickler for privacy and security these laws should definitely concern you. Luckily, many services provide offshore VPNs that allow us to browse the Internet anonymously by circumventing our Internet Service Providers in order to gain access to the Internet.
Using a VPN, though somewhat confusing at first, is standard practice for many Internet users and a great way to hide your online presence. Due to these new laws, however, it's worth considering VPN providers located outside of Australia and other countries with similar laws.Back to top
Will using a VPN hide my identity while torrenting?
Yes. However, not all VPNs allow traffic from peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing from services like BitTorrent. These VPNs will likely throttle your download speeds if you're found to be torrenting. Though, the rules aren't always black-and-white and some VPN providers will only block file-sharing services from particular regions. Below are three different VPN providers with three very different views towards torrenting through their services:
- VPN Unlimited do not encourage torrenting though their service and have reported a few cases where they've had to decrease a user's connection speed when they were found to be torrenting.
- Iron Socket allows torrenting on select servers optimised for file sharing. Iron Socket do not allow torrenting on all their servers due to the legal pressure in countries like the US and UK.
- PIA claim they do not monitor any user activity whatsoever (thanks to their strict no logging policy) , therefore, they have no way of knowing if a user is torrenting and can not block it.
Though most P2P file sharing service have been painted with the same brush thanks to illegal copyright infringement, there are still legitimate uses for torrenting and file-sharing. So if you're concerned about a VPN blocking your BitTorrent or Vuze service, it would definitely be worth checking with the provider before signing up.Back to top
What is DNS leak protection and do I need it?
If you're looking for uncompromised anonymity on the internet then DNS leak protection (or something with the same effect) comes highly recommended. If you're using a VPN to mask your identity, you need to be sure that all traffic from your computer is being rerouted through the VPN network. Usually, a VPN service will assign your computer DNS settings. Occasionally, your computer's operating system will default back to the DNS designated by your internet service provider, rather than the DNS provided by your VPN service, essentially leaking your IP address. If there is a leak and your computer's IP address is exposed then your usage data will be left vulnerable to eavesdroppers. This is huge threat to your privacy and exactly the kind of thing you want to avoid if security is your number one concern.Back to top
What is a kill switch and should I shop for a VPN that provides one?
Essentially, a kill switch is a form of DNS leak protection – a safeguard should your VPN disconnect and your IP address becomes exposed. A VPN kill switch (aka Internet Kill Switch) is a particularly valuable tool for regular torrent downloaders. A VPN kill switch works by severing your computer's connection to the internet as soon as the VPN's connection fails; without it your computer automatically defaults to your ISP designated DNS and your identity and location become vulnerable. A kill switch works by monitoring your internet connection for any drop or changes in IP address. If the kill switch detects that your VPN has been disconnected it immediately restricts your computer from connecting to the internet until a safe and secure connection is re-established through the VPN.

|RE: possible performance problem (need a way to test it)
|Mon, 18 Sep 2006 15:48:15 GMT
Hi Alex, I think the investigation is a good idea, but the way we sidestepped any issues like this was to have our application maintain a pool of sessions that are shared out between user threads. This works for us as we are handling user locking and security in the application tier - I guess it depends on your overall architecture, but it might be worth considering if you're planning very high concurrency. miro -----Original Message----- From: Alexandru Popescu [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: 18 September 2006 16:18 To: userJackrabbit Subject: possible performance problem (need a way to test it) Hi! I have identified a possible performance problem with high concurrency querying against JCR. Still, I would like to have an easy way to reproduce it, so that I can profile it. I am wondering if there are in the Jackrabbit source base good samples on how to set up a quick testing repository. This was the first part. Now about the real problem I am seeing: when accessing the JCR repo from multiple concurrent threads (each using its own Session) and we perform querying we see a huge CPU load and the response times are growing very fast: - for 5 concurrent threads the query reponse times are around 200-500 ms; server load about 0.65-0.7 - for 100 concurrent threads the query response times are around 150000-200000 ms; server load about 7-7.5 As you can see these are very dangerous numbers, and I would definitely like to figure out what is the problem behind them, because in my application I can expect something around 300 concurrent threads access. I know I can start looking at different options like caching and similar ideas, but firstly understanding the real problem will help me a lot. Many thanks for any helping ideas and comments, ./alex -- :Architect of InfoQ.com: .w( the_mindstorm )p.

The red and white CMO sat at his desk, typing out words and filling out forms on the computer. The Med Bay and the next door Lab were both quiet. It was rare when he could get a few minutes of peace and quiet in his Med Bay, which was a good thing and a bad thing at times. Good thing, because he could actually get a few minutes to himself, and a bad thing, meaning he didn't know what would soon happen. His digits continued to type out the characters on the screen, but he was soon interrupted by a voice that called his name.
The typing stopped, and the medic let out the air in his vents.
Great…there goes my peaceful off-cycle…
He turned his helm to the side and saw the caller standing in the door way between the Med Bay and the Lab. The mech was holding something behind his back.
"Wheeljack," Ratchet began, "what brings you here? I didn't hear anything explode, which means you haven't blown yourself to Cybertron. So, dare I ask again, why are you here?" The Engineer took a couple more steps into the Med Bay, standing before a berth. Ratchet cycled air through his vents, shuttered his optics off then on, and got up from the chair. He took a couple of steps and was a few feet away from the Lancia, hands on his hips. Wheeljack's head fins flashed blue and before Ratchet could ask what that meant, the Engineer pulled out the thing in which he was hiding behind his back. It was a tray with Energon goodies on it, and he was holding it out with his right servo.
"Well, since I didn't have anything to work on today, I thought I would make Energon goodies. And since I made a lot of them, I didn't want to just eat them myself, so I decided to come and share some with you. If that is fine with you Ratch'?" Wheeljack explained. Ratchet looked down at the goodies, and then back up at the mech holding the tray. A small smirk tugged at the corners of his dental plates.
He gestured to the berth to set the tray down, which Wheeljack did, and replied, "No, it is fine 'Jack. At least you didn't blow anything up…" The medic then plucked up the top goodies and popped it into his mouth. The sweet melted in his mouth. He shuttered off his optics and hummed in pleasure. "This is really good 'Jack…" When Ratchet re-shuttered his optics back on, he saw the Engineer's headfins glowing and pride in his optics. This time, Ratchet did smile.
"Thanks Ratch', that means alot of to me and…" began Wheeljack, but Ratchet cut him off when the medic noticed the servo that had been at the Lancia's side all this time.
"Wheeljack, why are you missing your left hand servo…" Ratchet stated in an emotionless tone. Wheeljack's headfins flashed pink in embarrassment, and he reached up with his right hand servo and scratched the back of his helm.
"Well, you see, when I was making the goodies…" A raised hand servo by Ratchet silenced him, air leaving his vents.
"I don't want to hear it…sit on the berth while I go get the supplies to build a new hand servo." Then the CMO turned and walked away and towards the supplies cabinet, and Wheeljack followed his orders. He sat next to his creations and picked one up and ate it.
"MMmm…I am not a bad cook…" he said to himself, but Ratchet, who had began to make his way back with the supplies in his servos, again interrupted.
"That 'Jack, is something I can agree with you on…but blowing you hand off, don't ever do it again, or I will weld you to your Lab's floor." Wheeljack's headfins flashed a bright blue, and a chuckled came from both mechs.
Just an ordinary day for them.
Yep, just an ordinary day for the CMO and Engineer.
Next chapter will probably be…well, I haven't decided yet.
If you have a pairing…let me know…but remember NO SLASH PAIRING…I am trying to keep it slash free! Just ordinary days with friends…understand?

News about Ajay Devgn dropping his ambitious directorial project Shivaay and doing Nishikant Kamat's Drishyam remake is old. Latest buzz in the industry says Tabu has been roped in to play the cop role in Drishyam.
Tabu has also given her consent to play the prominent role in this film. It will be good to see this pair Ajay and Tabu coming together on-screen after a long time.
While director Nishikant is waiting to cast Tabu in the lead role, Ajay Devgn's fans can be happy that this film will go on floors in February 2015 and also get to release this same year.
Ajay Devgn dropping his dream project Shivaay for a while might be sad for the fans but Ajay in this hit film Drishyam remake is very interesting.
Drishyam is a super hit critically acclaimed movie in Malayalam played by Mohanlal which won many awards. First half of the film is deliberately slow-paced and the second half makes the audience sit at the edge of their seats.
This thriller which is remade now again in Hindi will sure be a big blockbuster.

Dell Dimension E520 With Ubuntu Linux Review
I finally broke down and ordered a Dell Dimension E520 with Ubuntu Linux to replace my doddering primary workstation which is four years old at this point. Rather than writing a review right after opening the box, I thought I'd use the new rig for a few weeks and kick it around a bit before summarizing my experiences with the new machine. Although I've read a couple of reviews of the XPS system here and there, I thought I'd go ahead and post my experiences with the least expensive Dell Ubuntu workstation, the Dell Dimension E520.
The Aesthetics
One thing I noticed as soon as I took the machine out of the box-- it's actually built quite well for an inexpensive workstation. The sides are made from fairly sturdy metal panels, and the general fit and feel was much better than I expected. This is not a machine I would be afraid to put in a car and move across the country with, or use as a doorstop when it gets old.
At the same time I think the majority of Dell's system designs for the past year or so have been terribly corny and gaudy ripoffs of Apple. I think the only brand identity that Dell has with their hardware is to use a bunch of different colors and grades of material, and then top it off by making sure it says DELL. YES, ITS A MOTHERFUCKING DELL. HEY, LOOK, I'M STILL A DELL everywhere. For the price I can't complain, but I think Dell could certainly stand to continue to try and make their machines look less like IM IN UR HOUSE LOOKING LIKE UR COMPUTRON, and more like something you don't mind having on display. I think recent designs of LCD TV's are a good example of this.
I'd take some photos of the new machine, but with 3 other machines on my desk (a server, my old workstation, and my work laptop) there's just too much chaos on my desk for such things.
Ubuntu Installation & Configuration
There's really not much to report here, though it was certainly pretty painless compared to the recent experience I had installing Ubuntu Feisty on a Lenovo T60. When I booted-up the machine some sort of Dell looking screen appeared that I had to agree to, and then the Ubuntu installation started. Admittedly it's been awhile so I can't remember every exact detail, but essentially there were only 4 install screens which let me set things such as time zone, keyboard layout, currency, and language preference, and it was pretty much done.
Once it rebooted I was somewhat disappointed-- the display did not account for the Dell 2007WFP 20" widescreen monitor I ordered and would only display in 1024x768. This would be a complete show-stopper for the average computer user, and I couldn't believe that this wasn't something which was accounted for in the installation process.
Also missing was the restricted driver for the Nvidia video card. This oversight is certainly debatable, but it also goes to show that there wasn't much time put into tweaking the shipped version of Ubuntu to be Dell friendly (at least on the Dimension E520). I ended-up having to do the dreadful task of poking around in xorg.conf to get the monitor and video card to play nicely with each other, and now I'm using it in 1680x1050 glory.
After finally getting the resolution tweaked, I got all of the multimedia foo in working order by installing various codecs and applications using Automatix. I also installed VMWare Server and created a Windows XP virtual machine just because I could and also attempt to push the new hardware a bit, but I have yet to really do anything in the Virtual Machine other than get updates installed.
I'm still waiting for the whole Compiz / Beryl merger to happen with an actual release, so I haven't played with the window effects at all. I did install Synergy which was quite painless and can now use the same mouse and keyboard as well as copy and paste across two other machines. Very nice!
Life With Ubuntu**
Being that I switched to using Ubuntu as my primary operating system at home last year, and use it on my work laptop for writing software, I pretty much already knew what to expect. For the most part Ubuntu provides you with ways do do almost everything you can already do with Windows, including:
Surfing the internet and using various instant messaging protocols
An office suite for Word Processing, Spreadsheets, etc
Support for removable media such as USB drives or Flash Memory cards from digital cameras
Image editing and photo management
Managing your iPod and music library
Support for video, music, flash, and more via Automatix
The ability to burn CD's and DVD's
Built-in support for printers and other devices
About the only thing I can't do with it at the moment is manage my Samsung Blackjack smartphone. I'll probably keep my old Windows XP box around specifically for this purpose. Otherwise, Ubuntu has been a really great choice for me. In fact, one thing that surprised me is that it automatically installed a driver for and supported an old 3Com HomeConnect webcam I have which is about 7 years old now and almost impossible to find Windows drivers for.
I'm at a point in life where I just don't have time to build machines from scratch and troubleshoot their idiosyncrasies, so I prefer to buy pre-assembeled machines. I seem to be a repeat Dell customer because their machines are reasonably priced, run quietly, and are generally built fairly well for the money. Also, because they are such a popular platform, it's fairly easy to find people who have had similar issues as you (especially in regards to Linux issues) by a well crafted Google search.
For a price just a bit North of $1,000 including a nice monitor and free shipping, I'm very happy with my Dell Dimension E520 system and would recommend it to others interested in getting a new Ubuntu system. Just make sure you customize the machine with more than the base options so you'll be happier with it in the long run, and search online for Dell coupons and try several different ones for the best deal before placing your order. Granted you might want to order a minimum amount of RAM and install your own as it's quite a bit cheaper to do so.
At the same time, I don't think Dell did a very good job of integrating Dell specific needs into the install process. I think that Ubuntu Linux is good enough once configured correctly by someone who knows what they are doing for 80% of computer users, and Dell missed a chance to show the general populace that there are choices beyond Windows DRM Dogfood and Mac OS. However, give Ubuntu a couple more years at the pace they've been innovating and maybe they'll take care of it themselves.
Et Cetera
If it's of any comfort, I have no association with Dell and just wanted to present my honest experience. If you liked the article or also have a Dell E520 and are a new visitor, please come back as I'll be posting tips and how-to's for a few configuration issues I came across along the way with this machine and will do my best to keep this post updated.

text: Hello all, I am not sure whether this is the right place to ask this question. If not please let me know. And I am a perl beginner, so please bare with me. Thanks. I want to write a perl bot, which can initiate connections by it self and start talking to other bots or may be another instance of the same bot. I went through the source tree of gaim 1.1.0 and figured out that there is some support provided by gaim to talk to the gaim protocol library modules. However, not having enough insight into perl Extensions, I did not exactly understand How can I do this? Or at the first place can I use gaim for such purpose? Any inputs will be very helpful. Thanks for your valuable time. Regards, Manish

Thanks for telling us about the price you've seen and giving us the opportunity to match it. To submit your request now, just hit the button below. (If you have a moment before doing so, we have a few thoughts we'd like to share regarding prices and service elsewhere, so please take a read over the notes below. Thanks!)
At Rubadub we regularly monitor our prices to ensure we're competitive. We know how important your hard-earned cash is and will always strive to provide you with as good (if not better) a deal as anyone else. However... it's also worth saying that in the bigger picture we consider other factors to be just as important as price in the service we offer our customers. As we always say, we're good guys to deal with and that's worth something more than money.
If the price you've seen is on a European website (or one that appears to be from the UK but is actually German or Dutch), please also note that many such sites will charge you in Euros and the £GBP prices shown are, at best, a rough guide. Often the credit card currency exchange fees are not included in the prices, and as such the actual £GBP price you pay is often 3-4% more than the price they show.
They are also supplying you with non-UK stock so it will have European power plugs (costing you more cash to replace the power supply) and will generally have to go back to Germany or Holland if you are unhappy with it or something goes wrong with it.
When you buy from Rubadub you get:
So it's worth considering that even against a crazy price elsewhere, we may be offering the best deal for you overall.

Tokyo (AFP) Aug 12, 2014
Google is partnering with five Asian telecom firms to build a $300 million underwater cable across the Pacific Ocean in a bid to meet surging Internet use.
The project, named FASTER, would see the 9,000-kilometre (5,600 mile) fibre-optic cable stretch from two points in Japan to the United States, with extensions to other Asian locations later on, the companies said.
In the US, the cable would be extended to link major cities on the west coast including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle, they said.
There are several hundred underwater telecom cables that connect various points in the world.
But "the FASTER cable system has the largest design capacity ever built on the Trans-Pacific route, which is one of the longest routes in the world", Woohyong Choi, chairman of the project's executive committee, said in the statement.
Also involved in the project are Japanese mobile carrier KDDI, China Mobile International, China Telecom Global, Malaysia's Global Transit, and Singapore's SingTel, the statement said.
Japan's NEC would build the system, which is expected to come into service in the first half of 2016, the firms said.
Google has been involved in similar projects before, including a 2008 deal to build an ultra-high-speed submarine cable to carry Internet and other traffic between Japan and the United States.

The box of Pop Tarts in Glen's room is a new version of the box not available in 1994.
Irene: Honey, I bought you and your pal, Terry, tickets to the Ice Capades.
Glen: Ma, I'm not gay.
Ron: It's not because ya tried it and ya didn't like it, right?
Ron: Son, cut the crap. Why the hell are you going to the football hall of fame with a gay man!?
Glen: 'cause no straight man has asked.
Glen: Miguel, you're a sage in matters of the heart. May I ask you a question?
Miguel: I'd be hurt if you didn't.
Glen: What are the chances that a gay man, who's been buying me presents, and complimenting me on my eyes, and uh, and wants to take me away for the weekend, has no intention of doing anything romantic to me, or to my buttox?
Glen: Okay, Okay. If he's "gay", then why is he taking me to the Liza Minnelli concert tonight? I mean Hello!? Liza Minnelli, The piece of ass from Arthur.
The bar that Glen and Terry go to has a sign that says "Blitt Beer" which is an obvious reference to creator/writer "Ricky Blitt".
This episode went on iTunes before its broadcast premiere.
The movie Nell is mentioned many times in this episode. Nell is about a girl that grew up in a secluded cabin in the woods with her paralyzed mother. Her mother was paralyzed on only one side of her body, so when Nell learned to speak, it was mostly slurs and odd sounds.
In the scene where the kids are on the bench, they are discussing the sitcom Cheers. Murray claims that the role of Sam Malone (Played by Ted Danson) almost went to actor James Woods. However Glen corrects him in saying that it was actually William Devane that almost received the part.
