Synchronous programming language. A synchronous programming language is a computer programming language optimized for programming reactive systems. Computer systems can be sorted in three main classes: transformational systems that take some inputs, process them, deliver their outputs, and terminate their execution; a typical example is a compiler; interactive systems that interact continuously with their environment, at their own speed; a typical example is the web; and reactive systems that interact continuously with their env
Open Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities). Select the DVD disc from the list on the left. You will notice that there are two DVD icons--select the one slightly indented (this is the DVD itself, whereas the first one is the drive). Click on New Image in the Disk Utility main window. Choose a name and a destination from the Save As... window. Keep in mind that your destination should have enough space to copy the entire DVD, which can be over four gigs.
The first solution might be to use another computer that does have an optical disc drive. You can copy the files from the disc to a flash drive, and then copy the files off the flash drive onto the computer that needs them. DVD ripping software is useful if you need to backup your DVDs to your computer.
