Title says it all: Voldemort is cruel to them, treats them like garbage, tortures them for insignificant mistakes, and once you join you can't back out or not follow Voldemort's instructions to the letter, or you'll be killed.  I find it hard to imagine why anyone would sign up for that kind of life... any other takes?
The impression that I got from the  films was that if  was successful, most of the world was going to suffer greatly. Basically everyone would serve Voldemort as slaves or die. So what's the point of serving someone who's probably going to ultimately end up betraying and/or enslaving you? I know the  hated , but is that really enough to justify tearing down Wizard society? Why exactly do the Death Eaters serve Lord Voldemort? Fear? Is the post-Voldemort world not that bad? (I for one welcome our )
How to show the full path of a file or directory in the terminal? I need to know how the directory name in order to type it out in the terminal. How do I access the names of directories?   Windows Explorer used to have a title bar with the full path. Can someone please help me figure out how to see the full path of a certain file? Why is Apache executing .php.html files as PHP? I have an odd problem...I'm using a documentation generator which generates a lot of output like docs/foo.php.html. It's XHTML, and thus contains &lt;?xml...&gt; tags at the beginning of file. The problem is, Apache has somehow decided to run it through the PHP interpreter, even though ".php" appears in the middle of the filename, and not at the end. This, in turn, triggers a PHP error, because it sees "&lt;?" as the command to start executing PHP code, and immediately gets confused by the "xml..." which follows it.  How do I configure Apache to ONLY execute .php files and not .php.html files? The string "php.html" does not appear explicitly anywhere in my Apache config files. There is a line "AddHandler php5-script .php", but I don't see how that would also include ".php.html" files. Dedicated mouse and keyboard for a virtual machine, is it possible? I have parent folder "parent". Inside this folder I have subfolders, and a file named "names.txt". this file includes the names of these subfolders as follow:  Parent_folder folder1 folder2 folder3 folder4 . . . . names.txt   The content of the file "names.txt" is as follow:  folder1 folder2 folder3 folder4 . . .   Inside every folder I have images and I want to apply consecutively 10 scripts on every image ( every script must finish it is job inside every folder, then the second script must be run). These scripts have different names and they are exist in one folder. I set an environment by sourcing a file then I can call these scripts by its name from terminal .At the same time I want to apply this process on all the folders at once. i.e. when script #1 is running, I want it to be running on all the folders at the same time. When it is done and script #2 will start. I want it to start in all the folders at once and so on... In order to achieve this I wrote the following code:  #!/bin/bash path=PATH/TO/THE/PARENT/FOLDER for i in $(cat $path/names.txt); do { script#1 } &amp; { script#2 } &amp; . . .  done   This code is not working efficiently as all the commands are running at once. I want the commands to run on all the folders at once but consecutively.  What I am doing wrong? After many unsuccessful trials based on almost everything about this topic on the Internet, I decided to ask this question again. There is almost  in this platform, but it did not work. That's why I am here.  I want to have Ubuntu 18.04 installed on my USB memory stick (SanDisk Cruzer Glide 32GB) with a persistent storage of more than 4GB (at least 23GB in my case).  I used MiniTool partition wizard to format the stick (NTFS) on Windows. Then, I used Universal USB Installer 1.9.8.2 to install Ubuntu 18.04 on the stick. Here, I tried to format the stick either fat32 or ntfs, but nothing changed. Later, I used another Ubuntu to delete the casper-rw file and create another partition with the same name by following the steps given in the link given above. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it working although I tried almost all combinations.  Can anyone give a thorough list of steps to follow in order to install it on the stick properly?  Edit: I gave ear to @c-s-cameron 's comment below and used YUMI to do that, and it worked. I believe all other answers would work, but I dont have time to give a try for all of them. Thanks all, again! What happens to the energy when waves perfectly cancel each other? What happens to the energy when waves perfectly cancel each other (destructive interference)? It appears that the energy "disappear" but the law of conservation of energy states that it can't be destructed. My guess is that the kinetic energy is transformed into potential energy. Or maybe it depends on the context of the waves where do the energy goes? Can someone elaborate on that or correct me if I'm wrong? Algorithms for automatic model selection Word: how to show hidden ribbon tabs? How can I control which tabs are available to be opened in the MS Word 2010 ribbon?  Under Word Options > Customize Ribbon > Main Tabs there are several groups checked (Blog Post, Insert (Blog Post), Outlining, Background Removal), but they don't appear on the ribbon even though there is space for them. How is one supposed to turn them on or get to them?  The one in particular I'm after today is the Blog Post tab, which I know I can get to in a round about way via File > New > Blog Post Template. However I don't want a new post, rather an old one, which means File > New > Blog Post Template > Open existing > [select from list] > [close new blog post window] > [slap No I don't to save darn it]. Extra work for nothing is irritating; how do I get Blog Post (or Outlining or ...) to show up in that nice empty space next to AddIns? Require duplicates to be imported in Shotwell I have some drawings that I have imported and tagged by date. Now I want to take some of them that I have organized on my disk and put give them a new tag. Shotwell thinks they are duplicates and won't import them. Is there a way to require Shotwell to import these duplicates? How can I duplicate Apple's tiny USB power adapter? I'm designing a project that controls 110VAC (plug in, socket out), and also has a microprocessor inside.  I'd really like this project to not need a wall wart to get it's 5V, so I want to include a small DC power supply inside.    Apple's USB power adapter looks like a great small design that I can fit inside my case.  I'm guessing this is a switching power supply but I can't find any teardowns or schematics anywhere.  Does anyone know how this thing works?  I know I could make my own 110V->5VDC supply from a bridge rectifier and some caps, but I'd like to also be super safe.  What's in the Apple brick? Why are text format commands used inside braces? Most commands in Latex are written with the arguments inside braces following the command: \command{arguments}. But text formatting options, like \em, or \scriptsize are usually written inside the braces, like {\em some italicised text}. Why is this? What makes these commands different? I'm particularly asking because it seems to make standardisation - of which LaTeX really appears badly in need - more difficult. Can regular expressions be used to match nested patterns? Is it possible to write a regular expression that matches a nested pattern that occurs an unknown number of times? For example, can a regular expression match an opening and closing brace when there are an unknown number of open/close braces nested within the outer braces?  For example:  public MyMethod() {   if (test)   {     // More { }   }    // More { } } // End   Should match:  {   if (test)   {     // More { }   }    // More { } } Limited options in a certain area? Ok so i am a bit of a noob in blender, so I need help with this.  I am trying to texture something, but there is no texture button where there should be, because the blender edge window cuts it off here's a picture Let's make the hot network questions icons clickable I would like to see the icons in the 'Hot Network Questions' right panel clickable, leading to the homepage of the site where the question comes from.  It would make it more comfortable to switch to the site when you want rather to visit it than to see that specific "hot" question. Say I have a metric space $(X, d)$ and a set $A\in X$.  I want to prove that if $a \in \overline{A}$ then there is a convergent sequence $\{x_n\}$ that converges to $a$. Could I have any help? Can I sell starting gear in Adventurers League play? I'm starting a new AL game (as a player) and I have a question that's not addressed in the AL material.  According to Adventurers League Player's Guide (page 4)     When you create your D&amp;D Adventurers League character for the current season, take starting equipment as determined by your class and background. You cannot roll for your starting wealth.   Meaning I can't start with whatever I want. However, I am playing a ranged-focused fighter, so the second gear option is of no use to me:   (a) a martial weapon and a shield or (b) two  martial weapons   Can I choose any two martial weapons and sell them for half price to use for purchasing other gear before play? And is there a restriction on how much gold I can get?  For example, two hand crossbows (martial ranged weapons) can net me 75 gp when sold, or two greatswords nets me 50 gp when sold. Dual boot windows 8 and Ubuntu with Windows 8 Boot manager I have two partitions on my hard-didk , I have installed ubuntu on my 1st partition and windows 8 later on another partition.Now i can only boot into windows 8 because it doesn't recognize Ubuntu.  How would i dual boot my PC without using grub . I would like using Windows 8 boot manager as its pretty neat.  This is what i have tried :  I tried using easyBCD but it doesn't work.It causes the boot manager to switch to windows 7 Boot Manager .  EasyBCD creates a C:/NST/AutoNeoGrub0.mbr file .  As EasyBCD was causing the boot manager to switch i created a manual entry to the BCD store uisng windows bcdedit command and point it to the C:/NST/AutoNeoGrub0.mbr file created by EasyBCD. This gave me the Windows 8 Boot-Manager with Ubuntu Entry,but grub is unable to find the root partition.  Is there any other work around or solution for this ?  Any help would be appreciated.  Note: The windows 8 boot Manager is sky blue color interactive menu with mouse and other options and windows 7 boot manager is the normal black and white one where you can only use your keyboard  I don't want to install grub because it would prevent my windows 8 from updating as its a genuine MSDN version and various other reasons I've got a NI Traktor Audio 2 sound card I'd like to get working with Mixxx, but I don't seem to have any success so far. The card seems to be supported in Ubuntu out of the box, and it seems to work well with ALSA, but I cannot select it in Mixxx and I'm not sure whether is something I can do to make it see it (e.g. through).  So for testing purposes, on the command line I can execute aplay to check each channel:  aplay -D plughw:2,0,0 test.wav   and  aplay -D plughw:2,0,1 test.wav   That works well: I can hear the test sound on each channel (A and B)  The relevant output for this card using aplay -D is:  hw:CARD=TraktorAudio2,DEV=0      Traktor Audio 2, Traktor Audio 2      Direct hardware device without any conversions plughw:CARD=TraktorAudio2,DEV=0      Traktor Audio 2, Traktor Audio 2      Hardware device with all software conversions   From those 2 items on the output, plughw is the one that works, whereas hw doesn't.  The problem is that Mixxx only lets me select the hw card, which does not seem to work. I'd like to be able to select the plughw card, which is the one that's working.  I've tried suspending Pulse Audio as suggested by , but that did not seem to work. I also played around with an .asoundrc file similar to the one  (which was for an older model of this sound card), but also without success.  Any ideas on how to make Mixxx show the right card (and channel, while we are at it)?  Thanks! Number of zero digits in factorials Here is a riddle someone has been asked in a job interview: How many zero digits are there in $100!$?  Well, I found the first $24$ quite fast by counting how many times five divides $100!$ ($5$ divides $20$ times and $25$ divides it $4$ times).   However, there are more zero digits in the middle of the number (these can be found by hand, by typing factorial(100) in sage).  My question is whether there is a smart way to determine the number of zero digits in $100!$, and more generally in $n!$.  By the way, this will not affect the job interview as it was finished some time ago. Determining bare earth DEM from unclassified LAS file? I have data in LAS format with RGB values created from aerial photogrammetry using a UAV. I am  trying to find a solution to extract the bare earth DEM from the point cloud.   I have tried SAGA, Fusion, MCC-LIDAR, but it is seems they need the LAS file to be already classified (which it naturally isn't). Can anyone point me in the right direction with a brief explanation of the process?   Generally, I would need to process about 100 mill points at a time (can tile them if needed).
