You're probably still free to hire someone to edit it for you. That is, you hand them a DVD and instructions on what to do with it. After they work on it for a few hours, they hand you back the original DVD and a DVD with the edited version. Thay don't keep a copy of the new DVD and they charge you an hourly rate for their editing service. You are paying for a service.
What your are not free to do is take a copyrighted work, make changes to it and sell the derivative work. The fact that all your customers purchased the original DVD is completely irrelevant. You are still selling a derivative work without the copyright holder's permission.
From my personal experience, most of the students who are going to succeed already have some experience with either CLI tools or an IDE before starting classes, and will be able to pick up new ones easily. The rest will probably drop out eventually, or they will graduate but be completely useless as programmers.
Oops. Left out the important part of the quote. It should have said:
2) The limitation of 1 call/per second/per IP address set forth in Section 1.A.2 above is not applicable to your use of Amazon S3. You may not, however, store "objects" (as described in the user documentation) that contain more than 5 Gigabytes of data, or own more than 100 "buckets" (as described in the user documentation) at any one time.
I once did something similar with a scanner. I needed a close-up shot of a keyboard for use as a splash screen for ergonomic software I was working on. I didn't have a digital camera but I did have a scanner, so I took a keyboard and placed it upside-down on the flatbed and scanned it in. I was a little desperate and did not expect a very good image. But I was amazed at the results. The image was perfect!
Why in the world does a voting machine need an OS? The main purpose of an OS is to allow sharing of resources between different apps. This machine will run one and only one app. Let the voting app have total control of the hardware. No OS required. Or at the very least have a minimalist OS developed just for this purpose. I assume all the machines will be identical. There is no need for multiple device drivers. I think this is important enough that the code should be developed right to the hardware and changed as the hardware changes. The code should always be available for public review and comment, but there should at any one time be just a small team of developers who are responsible for the entire code base.
I get really irritated when developers check in code with sections commented out. If the code is no longer relevant - delete it! If you really need to get it back, get it from a previous version in the source control system.
That's quite true. However, (and I would take this with a grain of salt since I am by no means any kind of processor expert) I don't think that the extra registers would help all that much. Remember, under the hood, the hardware no longer executes x86 instructions directly anymore. The opcodes are translated into RISC instructions which are then executed by a register-rich RISC processor. The translation process is supposed to automatically take advantage of all the extra registers provided by the real hardware. How well this all works... well, I guess that's what benchmarks are for;-)
All other things being equal, 32-bit code will usually outperform 64-bit code. The CPU has that much less work to do to process each instruction that has move 32-bit data vs. 64-bit data. I know that a gross oversimplification and the reality is that on modern architectures 64-bit code can come pretty close to 32-bit performance.
All other things are not equal, however. New 64-bit processors will likely run at higher clock rates and can easily give someone the impression that the higher speed is coming from the 64-bit architecture rather than the faster clock speeds.
The same thing happened with the transition from 16-bit to 32-bit intel processors. The new 386s ran at least 16Mhz, whereas the fastest 286s, I believe, topped out at 8Mhz. Wow! 32-bit code is twice as fast as 16-bit code. There the biggest speed increase came from a change from a segmented to a linear addressing scheme. All other things being equal, 16-bit code easily outperformed 32-bit code.
The only advantage to 64-bit processors is the ability to directly address more than 4GB of memory.
Why, yes, there is a reason and, believe it or not, Microsoft was not completely to blame.
When Microsoft was about to release MSDOS 2, the first version of DOS to support hierarchical directories, they actually tried to do the right thing and use slashes for a separator and dashes for options.
IBM did not like that. They wanted, for whatever reason, their new OS to not feel like Unix. So they asked Microsoft to deliberately make it different.
At the time Microsoft was a fairly small company and was easily pressured by IBM to do things the way they wanted.
The purpose of copyright law was to enrich the public domain. The original copyright period was 20 years which would give the artist enough time to profit off their work and then force them to produce something new if they wanted to keep on profiting.

Read a little further. The TOS also states:

As I recall, the ad mentioned something about the Intel processors performing "dull little tasks" in "dull little boxes".
I think it's a direct shot at both Microsoft & Dell.

Sounds to me like mr. Carrigan just finished reading Macroscope.
The quality of music available on Kazaa improved dramatically.

No, but I remember the "Dude, you're getting a DULL!" T-Shirts that were around a few years ago.

If I remember correctly, if you express c in meters/second and m in grams you will get E in joules.
I really wish I had some mod points to give you, Vizzini. That was FUNNY!

What in the world does education have to do with IQ?
Whenever I watched TechTV my wife would always say "are you watching nerd tv again?".

I can just imagine what she will say now.
Not only that, but how much worse would things be if they were using their own stack.

Does this mean OpenGL is now in?

It just struck me as funny... guess I gotta work on my sense of hoomor.
