I have 2 1TB drives that I set up in RAID0. Unfortunately, my old system is in pretty crappy shape and I might not be able to boot onto it. This means that the motherboard and old RAID controller are not available.  I can set up a RAID0 on the new system, but it's prompting me to create a new RAID. Will this erase/format the disks, or will it just set up the RAID and leave any existing data on the disks? This is extremely important because I have about 1.5TB of data on these disks that I absolutely cannot lose, and want to transfer onto a new 2TB disk.
My primary drive is a 250GB WD SATA drive. So, I added 2x 500GB 7,200 RPM WD SATA drives into my Windows Vista box and created a 1TB RAID0. I then formatted the the primary drive and installed Windows 7. To my pleasant surprise when I booted into Windows 7 my RAID0 was still intact and I kept trotting along the same as I did before.  Now I am replacing my motherboard, processor, and RAM and plan on formatting the primary 250GB drive again and using it to boot for a new clean install of Windows 7.  My question is: if I move these two SATA drives which are setup for RAID0 into the new system, install Windows 7 again, will the RAID0 remain?  Edit: Software RAID. I created it within Windows. The RAID0 does NOT contain the system boot partition.
I'm wondering why WordPress does not support sessions and many people out there claim that putting the following code in functions.php might not be a good idea (it in fact works for me but returns PHP warnings, too):  function cp_admin_init() { if (!session_id()) session_start(); }  add_action(‘init’, ‘cp_admin_init’);   Is it good idea to enable sessions in WordPress? What would be the correct way to do this? Short story where rain only on one side of the house gives away fake world? In the mid-90s I read a short story about a guy freaking out at his wife and therapist because as they were leaving the house to go on a train trip to New York City, he went back inside to grab something and noticed that out the back window it was raining, while out the front door it was clear and sunny.  This confirmed his existing paranoia that everything in his world was fake, and everyone he knew was either a robot or an actor, participating in a massive effort to fool him and keep him from remembering who he really was.  He eventually calms down and agrees to go on the trip. The story ends      with a twist where the wife and therapist have a conversation something like, that was a close one, he almost remembered. Now strike the house set and assemble the New York set.   Can anyone identify this story? It was probably in a magazine or anthology, either sci-fi or speculative fiction. I use netstat to check my port status.  I was wondering what's the difference between port status LISTENING, TIME_WAIT, CLOSE_WAIT, FIN_WAIT1 and ESTABLISHED? Question list on Stack Overflow is not showing new question Missing font on some error and dupehammer info popups Some popups like the dupehammer explanation popup or the validation error ones on the  do not have the right fonts - the browser has to fall back to a default and quite ugly font instead.

Generating a separate pdf file of tables and figures from a latex file? Is it possible to generate a PDF of figures and tables of a paper from LaTeX itself?  I saw Journals and Conferences asking for a separate file of tables and figures.  In  question, questioner proposed a method that uses \usepackage{endfloat} to push all the figures and tables to the last pages and then use a PDF editor to cut the last pages of PDF. This is a solution but not a good one. LaTeX should be able to do this by its own.  What I have in mind is to compile the LaTeX file and it generates a complete PDF output and beside that a separate file that contains all the figures and tables of former PDF.

Kubuntu - can not enter wifi credentials after adding external wifi card My ethernet connection is quite unreliable (It uses powerline adapters) so I bought an external wifi adapter. I have plugged it in and run the command sudo ip address add 192.168.0.39/24 brd + dev enp7s0, and KDE has detected it. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to realise it is a wireless network and therefore needs credentials. Where I could normally find a place to enter credentials (the network widget, system settings) there are none. KDE reports that the device is connected in the UI. How do I make it work out that it is wireless and therefore needs credentials?

There were no restarts between any of these changes. Interior of cartesian product is cartesian product of interiors I have to prove that:  $$Int(A\times B) = Int(A)\times Int(B)$$  Where $A\subset M$ and $B\subset N$, both $M$ and $N$ metric spaces.  The problem is that the exercise does not specify the metric, so I need to try to prove it using a generic metric.  If $x\in Int(A\times B)$, then an open ball can be centered at $(x,y)$ such that it is contained in $A\times B$. Therefore, this open ball, $B((x,y),r)\subset A\times B$. It means that $d((x,y),a)&lt;r$ for any $a\in A\times B$ for some $r&gt;0$. I guess that if I can take from here that $d(x,a)&lt;r$ and $d(y,a)&lt;r$ I can prove thhat $Int(A\times B)\subset Int(A)\times Int(B)$, but I still have to prove the other way around.   Any ideas? Lufthansa airline offers the &quot;Economy Flex&quot; fare.

How did "When" become the customary answer to "say when"? When a waiter at a restaurant comes by with pepper or Parmesan cheese, he says, "say when" and starts putting it on your food.  Many people will say "OK" or "that's enough," but it seems that the customary answer is "when".  How did this become the customary answer?  Did everyone decide to make the exact same joke, until it became commonplace.  I thought it was funny when I was a kid, but even now as an adult, I still say it.  For evidence that this is indeed commonplace, see .  The answer "when" is used and is external to the joke of the strip. But even so, I'm curious as to just how commonplace this really is.  I see it a lot in the US.  Is it used elsewhere in the world?  (by the way, I'm new to asking questions on this site, and I have no idea what tags to put on this question) When A and B are positively related variables, can they have opposite effect on their outcome variable C? A is positively related to B.  C is the outcome of A and B, but the effect of A on C is negative and the effect of B on C is positive.  Can this happen? How can I get the size of an array from a pointer in C? What is reflection, and why is it useful?  I'm particularly interested in Java, but I assume the principles are the same in any language. This came up to me while I was reading the question about Magical being using firearms in battle to raise their power (which I think I have a good answer for, but it's too long to fit in this question... and it would also be inappropriate).  Anyways, I was reading it and then the following thought came into my mind: If wizards decided to use guns on their battles (the ones agains Voldemort for instance), that would create that opening for much bigger battles than we see in the books (after all even a muggle can fire a gun, so lots of guns + the Imperio curse, and presto manifesto (is that racist? talking about wizards and all) you have yourself an army). Those kinds of battles, however, would most definitely not go unnoticed by the muggles - even though they wouldn't be able to link it to magic.  Well, that thought brought up my one and final question, which I bring forth to you guys. Is there any mention on how the Wizards and Witches viewed the two world wars (which had taken part by the time Harry got to Hogwarts, and which he had probably heard about in muggle school), and what was the Wizards' part in it? What about the cold war? Did the magical world even recognise the existence of weapons such as nukes, which could render all life on earth extinct?  EDIT  DVK has brought up an  regarding the connections between the Second World War and the wizarding world (more specifically, the wizard Grindelwald). Although it doesn't fully answer my question, it does help by showing that there was indeed some form of connection between the two world at the time.
