I beg to differ. I only have the one sata-raid array, and it contains both the windows partition and the linux partition. I installed it with a custom made windows install CD on which I added the correct sata drivers.
Anyhow, you might try to check your bios. I've had a problem with a similar laptop where either windows or linux would barf on startup, because the sata-raid was either in IDE-emulation mode (linux wouldn't start) or in sata-raid (windows wouldn't start).
Anyway, congratulations. I heard on the radio this morning the states are the worlds third most populous country, right after China and India. Surprised me.

I've installed a dual boot system with SuSE 10.0 and WinXP, using Grub, without much problems... except for WinXP not being able to install to a SATA RAID (please insert floppy with drivers... hahaha... no floppy in my laptop, but can't choose to grab the drivers from a HD or a DVD or whatever... talk about stupid ).
Anyway, I suspect you've run into a user error: maybe you're trying to do something a bit over your head... I'd suspect installing only a Linux distro (probably all will work) on a clean SATA raid would present you with no problems at all. I didn't have to do anything special for SuSE 10.0.

Come to Europe and get a whiff of my domestic (Renault) diesel car, it runs fine. But I actually have it maintained, as you obviously didn't with your mercedes diesel.
I know Americans associate diesel with trucks and stuff, but here in Europe a fairly large quantity (I estimate 33-50%) of domestic cars run on diesel. It has better mileage, cheaper fuel (which is still a bigger issue here, even now we pay about twice as much for our fuel as you do) and with turbo and injections they are at least as quick as petrol engines.
Here in the Netherlands we have a bit of a problem with the diesels producing more NOx particles, but with the EU requiring new cars to have fine dust particle filters, this should not be much of a problem in a few years.
If you'd take away pain, there's not much of a strong, primary inhibitor to prevent yourself from damaging yourself (except rational thoughts, which usually take second place to instincts).
I'm going on a edge here, as not all depressions have clear causes, but I'd say most depressions are symptoms of unhealthy emotional behaviour, like not being able to bond to another human e.g. Much like not all pain has a clear cause, but mostly it's just you hitting yourself on the thumb with a hammer or such. Taking away the depression will take away the motivation to solve the underlying problems.
I dunno, but I have a bad feeling about scientists even trying this, it all seems very short sighted. What would the pratical applications be? Genetically altering foetuses of people with a hereditary inclination to depression? Brrrr...

"At worst, without GW Katrina would have been a weak Cat 4 instead of a strong one. GW did not "create" Katrina, though it is possible that it made her slightly worse."
How do you know this? If 'the left' can't conclusively say Katrina was caused by GW, how can you say it wasn't?
Point is, you are just as biased as they are, only with a different belief. Not too say that I don't agree with most of your conclusions, but you are making the same unsupported claims as you are accusing the mythical 'left' of.
Sure, the states need a military to defend itself from 'rival nations marching in'. However, does the US expect half the world to come marching in? Because last I checked, the US military budget is half of the annual spendings on defense worldwide. Yes, that's right folks, the US spends half of all the money spent on defense. Also, 80% of the increase in military spending was due to the US last year. ( see for instance http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/spend ing.htm for the numbers in 2004. US spending has only increased since then.)
I hate to break the news to you, but the US does not have a defensive army. You have a mostly offensive army which is basically strong enough to take on the rest of the world.
"Remember, there are no world police."
Yes there is. It's the states. Although police implies a force controlled by some agreed upon laws, and without it's own interests. This is not the case. The police here is governend by _your_ laws, and guided by _your_ interests, with a guiding principle of fear, feeded by _your_ government because some fscking Saudi Arab made up some so-called global terrorist group which is _absolutely_ no threat to the imperialist empire the states have become.
She was moved to a series of safe houses with the idea that this one would be here final one... but the government fucked up and communicated really poorly with the other residents, ignoring their problems and their communications, giving them no other option but to go to court. At least, that's their version.
I don't know what happenend exactly and who's to blame, but matter of factly she moved there in the first place because she was receiving death threats. She was evicted because the government fucked up or the other residents were nimbies. Inform yourself and then offer your opinion.
"We got one dead politican, a death filmmaker/columnist, a columnist from the same newspaper beaten up and one politican fleeing the country.

Hirsi Ali isn't fleeing the country, she's going somewhere where she thinks she can exert more influence to spread her ideas.

"Her criticism of the Islamic prophet Muhammad mainly concerns his moral stature. In January 2003 she told the Dutch paper Trouw, "Muhammad is, seen by our Western standards, a pervert".

These comments caused deep resentment and anger among the Dutch Muslim community."

That's a pretty dumb and uninformed post. Go get an education.
Anyway, to help you on your way: she lied about her personalia when applying for the Dutch citizenship. Technically, Hirshi Ali is Dutch, but as she is not Hirshi Ali, but Hirshi Magan, she is not dutch.
This and the fact that she was yelling it from the rooftops (instead of confessing it to the proper authorities) triggered a vote seeking politician (Verdonk), who also happened to be head of immigrations, to take a stance and go bureaucrat.
I'm not saying it's anything to be proud of, but it has nothing whatsoever to do with extremists threatening her. She is still under constant protection and will most probably have her citizenship restored after Verdonk and the administrative technicalities are straightened out.
Here in the Netherlands there was a big uproar when Hirshi Ali basically said the same thing: Mohammed was a pedophile because he took a 9 year old for a wife. Yet she gets elected Woman of the Year by Times magazine.
What's the difference?
Anyway, I thought Americans were so big on freedom of speech. I'd said get ready for some real rucus, because Hirshi Ali (or Magan actually) is coming your way!

And again, this is for the Enterprise server. Administrators that use enterprise editions are generally into compiling their own kernels, that would defeat the purpose of an enterprise edition.

I don't program Java, but I concede with your point. I just don't agree that 'the way things ultimately work' has much to do with maths. Sure, it helps if you know your hexadecimals if you're programming C or any other language that give you control over memory allocation, but, to stay with C, in my experience, the most difficult part of C is references, pointers and strings, especially in combination. This has little to do with math and a lot with logic. And here the circle closes again, as you consider logic to be part of math and I don't.
