...for simple forms, is too limiting for complex documents. We have not gotten far enough to input things like pictures/graphs/diagrams ect, but when using a GUI I know from personal use that it is relatively simple. I will say, however, that when dealing with formatting from version to version of a program (lets say from a .doc to a .docx) can be frustrating. I have had times that there was no way that the file could be fixed, and that I had to make a whole new document, because the newer program would just not accept the old file in its original format. This is an advantage when using the CLI. .txt is .txt no mater what program it was created on, or platform that you were using. This is a HUGE advantage that using the CLI has over the GUI. If I am using Open Office on a Linux system to create a document, and then you want to open that same document using Microsoft Word on a Windows system there are huge problems in the “conversion” process. Even if you save said file using Open Office as a .doc file, when opening with Word, Its just not right. I think we have all ran into this issue, and it can be vexing. So I think that using the CLI to create and manipulate files is, overall, more efficient; we will always be visual beings and want to have our pretty buttons to...

...Facts: Oklahoma State University provided Professor Eric Angevine with a computer linked to the university network, and through it to the Internet. Angevine used this computer to download over 3,000 pornographic images of young boys. After viewing the images and printing some of them, he deleted the files. Tipped off by Professor Angevine’s wife, police officers seized the computer and turned it over to a police computer expert who retrieved the pornographic files that the professor had deleted. The Oklahoma State University computer policy states that: The contents of all storage media owned or stored on University computing facilities are the property of the University. Employees cannot use University computers to access obscene material. The University reserves the right to view or scan any file or software stored on a computer or passing through the network, and will do so periodically to audit the use of University resources. The University cannot guarantee confidentiality of stored data. System administrators keep logs of file names, which may indicate why a particular data file is being erased, when it was erased, and what user identification has erased it. The trial court held that federal agents did not need a warrant to search Professor Angevine’s office computer because he had no expectation of privacy. The judge sentenced him to fifty-one months in prison for “knowing possession of child pornography.” The professor appealed. Issue: Did Professor...

...Appendix C Activity-Based Costing QUESTIONS 1. Manufacturing overhead costs cannot be directly traced to units of product like direct materials and direct labor. Assigning overhead costs to units of product requires some sort of allocation on some “reasonable” basis. 2. In the first stage, service department costs are assigned to operating departments. In the second stage, a predetermined overhead rate is computed for each operating department and used to assign overhead to output (or jobs or products). 3. Operating departments are directly involved in manufacturing or selling the products or services of a business. Service departments support operating departments through activities such as accounting, payroll, and legal services. 4. Activity-based costing (ABC) is a method for allocating shared costs among departments or products. It is especially common for overhead allocation. The goal of ABC is to provide reliable information about costs and their sources. One advantage of ABC is that it forces managers to examine the behavior of cost drivers and cost levels, with the result that costs are more likely to be managed effectively. 5. Anything to which costs would be assigned is considered a “cost object.” Common cost objects are units of product, product lines, departments, activities, and projects. 6. An activity cost driver is the measure of the activity that causes costs to be incurred. For instance, the activity driver for the activity...
