The default installation hangs somewhere. This is similar to Fedora Core 10 that I describe before. The solution is somehow similar. Boot Ubuntu 9.04 up. On the first screen, choose [English]. Then press [F4] and select [Safe Graphics]. Then press [F6], but do not select any option. Instead press [Escape] and it will allow you to change the command line. Remove the option "quiet splash --" and replace it with "vga=791 noreplace-paravirt" instead. Press [Enter] to start the installation. I will expect more issue with the grub menu and other options later on, but my VM is still installing as I type here, so I won't know at this point of time. I will update again on a later post if there is any other issues. Update: Yes, as pointed out by a commenter below, it is also possible to access command line by pressing [Esc]. However, you had better somehow remember the whole command, because it is not echoed onto the screen. Update: Also note that during the ...

    Protest at Town Hall – 15/05/12       We have been advised that there will be a pro-Palestinian rally which commemorates the displacement of Palestinians in 1948. The protest will assemble at Town Hall around 6pm, leaving at 7pm to travel down George St, Market St, Pitt St and King St before returning to Town Hall.   Police have asked COMMUTERS, especially motorists, to make alternate travel plans this afternoon, with the peak-hour CBD protest set to cause major traffic delays.    Police and the Traffic Management Centre are working to facilitate the protest and develop traffic management plans in an attempt to minimise the impact on peak hour traffic and pedestrian safety. All bus passengers in the CBD will be able to use their tickets to catch Sydney Ferry and CityRail services between 4pm and 8pm today to help ease disruptions to their travel. It is therefore likely that there will be traffic disruptions from 4.00pm onwards. The Transport Manag...

纽约时报曝光苹果去年避税十亿 分析其避税方法 全球盈利最高的科技公司苹果并没有在内华达州雷诺市设计 iPhone 或提供 AppleCare 客户服务，它也没有在附近地区生产 MacBooks 或是 iPad。但它在雷诺市设了一个小小的办事处，安排了一小部分员工。虽然这个办事处规模不大，但却从事着与苹果的核心企业战略密切相关的工作，它帮助苹果避开了加州和另外 20 个州上千万美元的税。 苹果总部设在加州库伯蒂诺市，雷诺市与库伯蒂诺市相距仅 200 英里。雷诺市的办事处主要收集苹果的利润并进行投资，通过这种方式，苹果避开了一部分利润的所得税。原因是什么呢？因为加州的企业税率为8.84%，而内华达州的企业税率为0。 在雷诺市设办事处只是苹果为了避税而采取的许多合法方法之一，苹果每年合法避税的数额高达数十亿美元。与内华达州的情况一样，苹果还在爱尔兰、荷兰、卢森堡和英属维京群岛等低税率地区设立了不少分公司，以帮助它减少纳税。 当然，几乎每一家大公司都会想方设法将税款降低到最低水平。对于苹果来说，避税节省下来的钱可是一笔大数目，因为它的利润实在是太高了。华尔街分析师预计，苹果本财年的净利润最多可达 456 亿美元，这将创下全美商业公司净利润最高的新纪录。 现在的纳税法规是为工业时代编写的，不太适用于现在的数字经济。苹果是科技巨头如何利用旧的纳税法规钻空子避税的典范。许多公司如苹果、谷歌、亚马逊、惠普和微软等的某些利润并非来自实体产品，而是来自软件专利等知识产权的版税。还有些时候，产品本身是数字形态的，比如下载的歌曲。拥有版税和数字产品的公司比杂货商或汽车厂商更容易将利润转移到低税率国家和地区，因为它们的产品在哪里销售都是一样的。 不断增长的数字经济给监管企业纳税的立法者提出了难题。虽然科技行业是美国最大和最有价值的行业之一，但许多科技公司缴纳的税金却很少。在过去的两年里，标准普尔 500 指数中 71% 的科技公司缴纳的全球现金税的平均税率比其他公司低三分之一。 即使在科技公司中，苹果缴税的税率也是很低的。虽然苹果推动了整个科技行业的进步，刺激了经济的增长，满足了无数客户的需求，但它还是制定出各种企业战略来利用纳税法规中的漏洞。 例如，许多科技公司指示高税率国家的海外销售人员以代表其他地区的低税率国家的方式展开工作，以达到避开营业税的目的。苹果就是最早一批采取这种避税手...
