If you want to see a horrible intersection/interchange, and you're ever in L.A., check out the Mulholland/Valley Circle on/off ramps to the 101 in Woodland Hills.
Granted, they had almost no real estate to work with, since of the four "corners", one was the Motion Picture Hospital (in LA, you don't mess with Spielberg), one was Hidden Hills (*cough* rich people *cough*), and one was a shopping center. So they had to improvise.... badly
Used to drive a Fiat 128. I think it was a '75. The clutch cable was routed so that it rubbed up against something. I always had like three spares sitting in my trunk (after I learned how to change them).
I was on a date in high school (before I knew how to change the clutch cable), and broke the cable. I then proceeded to strip second gear trying to force it into gear.
Until you drop it while you're reading in the tub. Then you receive an electrical shock, and a financial shock of $300; whereas with a dead tree mag, you're out $5.00.
Nikola Tesla visited Henry Ford at his factory, which was having some kind of difficulty. Ford asked Tesla if he could help identify the problem area. Tesla walked up to a wall of boilerplate and made a small X in chalk on one of the plates. Ford was thrilled, and told him to send an invoice.
The bill arrived, for $10,000. Ford asked for a breakdown. Tesla sent another invoice, indicating a $1 charge for marking the wall with an X, and $9,999 for knowing where to put it.
You can't just tell people something to get their consent to make changes, and then not follow through on your end of the bargain.
Well, you can, but if someone besides the government does it, it's called either "Bait and Switch", or "fraud". The the government does it, it's "business as usual".

Reaction Engines is the name of the company. It's using conventional LOX/LH2 engines.
And for those who are calling this Shuttle 2.0, it's unmanned.

There's an old joke about a guy who got a ticket for running a red light. He argued in court that the Doppler Shift made the light appear green.
The judge agreed with him that the original ticked was no good, and then fined him... for speeding.

Time to order another tape safe...
I think the reason can usually be summed up in three words.
Windows. Genuine. Advantage.
I still have my Windows 1.03 floppies (Tandon OEM version).
Five 360K's plus a 1.2M with Windows Write.
SP4 handles drives bigger than 128GiB. In SP2 or later, you can patch the registry for the same effect:
EnableBigLBA.
Set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Parameters\EnableBigLba to 1 (it should be a DWORD).
Ditto. They'll take Win2K off my home box when they pry it off of my cold, dead, harddrive.
Many Win2K users feel that way.
Robert Browning had an answer, "Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, Or what's a heaven for?"
So did George Mallory: "Because it is there".
And thats what life would have been like if I had invented the finglonger, one can always dream, one can always dream..
I've always heard it as "M.E.'s build weapons. Civ E's build targets".

It eventually threw a rod on the 101 in Encino.

Sorry, should have said, "$5.00 if anything".
Unfortunately, it's been about 8 or 9 years since I've done any device work on Windows.
But see the CreateFile call, it describes how to open both physical and logical devices.
That's the *physical drive*, not the file system. The file system would be \\.\C
Don't think you actually need a driver, you just need to open \\.\PHYSICALDRIVEn
They've been doing that since they were bought by CMP. They've been pretty much content-free since then.
Until you drop it while you're reading in the tub. Then you receive an electrical shock, and a financial shock of $300; whereas with a dead tree mag, you're out $5.00.
Yeah, the in-depth programming articles in the dead tree version have been gone for several years, since M&T sold it to CMP.
I think it's a law.... any good magazine will be bought by CMP and turned into crap.
The old story (this is the Ford/Tesla version):
Actually, I bet OP was referring to the dumb AT&T wireless ads.
