Was the Interstate Highway system Eisenhower's idea, or was it spawned elsewhere in military or civilian command?
There's some similarity here; both DARPAnet and the Interstate were created primarily to serve the interest of the US military.
The Interstate was designed to allow military vehicles, including those transporting missiles, to travel easily in the event of emergency redeployments. Note the minimum height of overpasses. They're higher than necessary for semi trucks alone.
DARPAnet was designed to allow military information to travel easily.
Those are pretty broad strokes (please correct me on the details if I'm wrong), but that's my impression.
No, man is part of nature. We depend on our environment and other species just like the rest of the living things on this planet. Granted, we do have just as much right to use the land as any other animal, but not more right than any other. We are currently treading way over the line in this regard, not from a destructive instinct but from the perfectly natural instinct of self-preservation.
Unfortunately, the undeniable effect of totalitarian agriculture (converting as much of the earth's biomass to human mass as we desire) is the usurping of the very species and environment on which we depend. We cannot stand separate and ultimately control every aspect of our environment on this planet, and it would be foolish to aim for this goal as a species.
I recommend reading Daniel Quinn's work for a better explanation.
I read somewhere that NT stores a copy of the partition table, or the MBR (can't remember which), both at the physical beginning and physical middle of the disk.
I can't rememeber, however, if it just plops it down in the middle of whatever partition is there, or if it instead stores its stuff at the logical middle of the NT system partition....just thought this might jog someone's memory.
