Answer:
Means no matter how many processors you use, speed up never increase from 10 times.
Explanation:
If a problem of size W has a serial component Ws,then performance using parallelism:
Using Amdahl's Law:
Tp = (W - Ws )/ N + Ws
Here, Ws = .1,
W - Ws = .9
Performance Tp = (.9 / N) + .1
---------------------------------------------------------
Speed Up = 1 / ( (.9 / N) + .1)
If N -> infinity, Speed Up <= 10
Means no matter how many processors you use, speed up never increase from 10 times.
Answer:Technology law scholars have recently started to consider the theories of affordance and technological mediation, imported from the fields of psychology, human-computer interaction (HCI), and science and technology studies (STS). These theories have been used both as a means of explaining how the law has developed, and more recently in attempts to cast the law per se as an affordance. This exploratory paper summarises the two theories, before considering these applications from a critical perspective, noting certain deficiencies with respect to potential normative application and definitional clarity, respectively. It then posits that in applying them in the legal context we should seek to retain the relational user-artefact structure around which they were originally conceived, with the law cast as the user of the artefact, from which it seeks certain features or outcomes. This approach is effective for three reasons. Firstly, it acknowledges the power imbalance between law and architecture, where the former is manifestly subject to the decisions, made by designers, which mediate and transform the substance of the legal norms they instantiate in technological artefacts. Secondly, from an analytical perspective, it can help avoid some of the conceptual and definitional problems evident in the nascent legal literature on affordance. Lastly, approaching designers on their own terms can foster better critical evaluation of their activities during the design process, potentially leading to more effective ‘compliance by design’ where the course of the law’s mediation by technological artefacts can be better anticipated and guided by legislators, regulators, and legal practitioners.

Answer:
Visual Basic for Applications runs as an internal programming language in Microsoft Office applications such as Access, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, Word, and Visio. VBA allows users to customize beyond what is normally available with MS Office host applications by manipulating graphical-user-interface (GUI) features such as toolbars and menus, dialogue boxes, and forms. You may use VBA to create user-defined functions (UDFs), access Windows application programming interfaces (APIs), and automate specific computer processes and calculations. Macros can automate just about any task—like generating customized charts and reports, and performing word- and data-processing functions. Programmers,like replicating large pieces of code, merging existing program functions, and designing specific languages. VBA can also work in non-Microsoft settings by using a technology called "COM interface," which allows commands to interact across computer boundaries. Many firms have implemented VBA within their own applications, both proprietary and commercial, including AutoCAD, ArcGIS, CATIA, Corel, raw, and SolidWorks.
