    I am just going by what I learned in flight school, and these web sites. I was taught that the dihedrial will only exaggerate the effect when in a side slip. Also, the shielding effect of the aircraft body will limit airflow over the trailing wing, thus decreasing lift.

    You get the roll from differing wing speed, in a right turn, the left wing will travel faster in relation to the airspeed of the craft( being further away from the center of rotation), causing more lift on the left side.

    Actually, I had a co-worker warned about his excessive coffee drinking. We had a coffee service that came by every two weeks, and on the week that he started, he had our supply wiped out by Thursday. Before this employee, we always had extra when the coffee service came by. He had a habit of drinking the shit all day, and making it "how I like it" which was twice the recommended amount of grounds.

    Your computer is not "bricked" anymore than a car with a flat tire is bricked. You can either recover your windows MBR with a windows install disk, hell, borrow one, Or you can fix the grub install with a live CD/Flash drive. You are just being stubborn about this, no one listens to you because you have it set in your head that Linux is bad, and you need to tell everyone how bad it is.
