So why do Sith even seek and acquire apprentices if the Rule Of Two necessitates that the apprentice must crave his master's power and eventually kill him. Do the Sith know this will happen and just not care or are they suicidal or what?
We know (from the accidents that happened between 1999-2005) that      The Sith rely on their passion for their strength. They think inward, only about themselves.   and we also know that     Always two there are, no more, no less. A master and an apprentice.   And from the EU, we know that each Sith apprentice will (try to) kill and replace their master at some point, in order to become the one who bundles the entirety of the Sith power (so to say).    Q1: Given these points, why do Sith bother to take up apprentices at all? It doesn't make sense to pass on their knowledge of the dark side, because they only care about themselves, and it would also contradict this philosophy to teach competition that will endanger their power and ultimately their life.    Q2: As a special case of this question in The Empire Strikes Back, Vader tries to turn Luke by saying     Luke, you can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son.   (emphasis by me)  Now, the same question rises: If the Emperor has foreseen that Luke can destroy him, why would he want Luke to become a Sith?
I saw that it has been already reported that also they have earned courious badge but the badge has not been given. but their answers say that they must wait a day and the badge will be awarded.  In my case its 8/5 and it was 5/5 long time ago and I have never received a message telling that I have earned it. its just telling me that the next badge to be awarded is Curious badge.  this is my profile: Does one wing of fly contain harmful microbes and the other contain only antibodies? There was  study but the conclusion and it's source's relability seemed a bit off. How come a house flies one wing contain all microbe and the other don't. Using File Geodatabase coded domain with ArcGIS Online? I created a File GDB and set up a domain, and the domain was assigned to a field in a feature class. The domain behaves as expected on ArcGIS Desktop (dropdown list when editing the content of that field).  But if I zip up the FGDB and upload to ArcGIS Online to created a feature layer and edit the layer online, there is no dropdown when editing.  I don't see any additional step in this tutorial, other than a different mechanism of getting data to ArcGIS Online. I don't think I can do it the same way in ArcGIS 10.0:   Anyone has any idea what's going on? If that's not possible, then a way to trigger the Dock on the screen with mouse without moving my cursor to the bottom of the screen is also an acceptable solution (I know that the launchpad appears on the screen with Dock)  Also i did see the  about this. Low-res texture blurry I unwrapped a simple plane and applied the following 80x80 pixel picture:    Yes, it's quite small. The problem is, the result is all blurry, like so:    How do I make it accurate to the pixel? Hiding winforms app from taskbar chown as non-root user LM317 Heat sink, how big? Best way to hide a window from the Alt-Tab program switcher? I've been a .NET developer for several years now and this is still one of those things I don't know how to do properly. It's easy to hide a window from the taskbar via a property in both Windows Forms and WPF, but as far as I can tell, this doesn't guarantee (or necessarily even affect) it being hidden from the Alt+↹Tab dialog. I've seen invisible windows show up in Alt+↹Tab, and I'm just wondering what is the best way to guarantee a window will never appear (visible or not) in the Alt+↹Tab dialog.  Update: Please see my posted solution below. I'm not allowed to mark my own answers as the solution, but so far it's the only one that works.  Update 2: There's now a proper solution by Franci Penov that looks pretty good, but haven't tried it out myself. Involves some Win32, but avoids the lame creation of off-screen windows. How can I find out whether my install of Windows (specifically XP and Vista) is either 32 or 64 bit?  Additionally, how can I find out if my hardware will support a 64-bit operating system? Is it possible and furthermore constructive to make LaTeX automatically format specific words in specific way? Let's say, for example, I'd like to have every occurrence of the word "hello" in a bold cyan monospaced font, whereas the rest of the document remains normal, sans serif and black.   How can I achieve that without having to do a search&amp;replace to place "hello" into a custom command every time before I compile the .tex file? Can EU citizens travel to UK after Brexit with just an identity card? Why is a nonstop flight sometimes more expensive than multiple connections? Find the subgroups of A4 I had a question I was hoping for some help on:     Find all of the subgroups of $A_4$   Here is what I know:  $A_4$ is the alternating group on 4 letters. That is it is the set of all even permutations. The elements are:  $(1), (12)(34), (13)(24), (14)(23), (123), (132), (124), (142), (134), (143), (234), (243)$   which totals to 12 elements. Which means, the subgroups should have order 1,2,3,4,6 and 12. The groups of order 1 and order 12 are trivial. I also know the groups of order 2 which are:  $[1,(12)(34)], [1, (13)(24)], [1, (14)(23)]$  but would someone be able to help me find the subgroups of order 3, 4 and 6 and be able to provide a good, easy explanation of how you got to them for me? I'm pretty sure there is no such groups of order 6, but I don't know how to explain why.  Thank you so much for your help in advance, I really appreciate it! I once learnt, that it is uncool to use $$, but why is that? Why does \[ not act as a abbreviation to \begin{align}? I noticed, that there is a difference, since one cannot use &amp; and \\ inside a block started with \[. Parsing DD MM YY HH MM SS columns from TXT file using Python's pandas How to get a file's Media Type (MIME type)? How do you get a Media Type (MIME type) from a file using Java?  So far I've tried JMimeMagic &amp; Mime-Util. The first gave me memory exceptions, the second doesn't close its streams properly. How would you probe the file to determine its actual type (not merely based on the extension)? Whenever my cheese gets too old and has a bit of blue/white mold on the side, I'm not sure whether I should throw it completely out or not. Is it safe to eat if I cut off the edge? Should I cut a bit off of all the sides just to be safe?  I'm particularly interested in the answer for cheddar cheese, but answers about other cheese are welcome. How to say the /p/ sound in the middle of words? I'm not sure how to say the /p/ sound in the middle of words like apple, puppy, happy etc. Those "p" sounds have a puff of air or not.  For myself I think those /p/ sounds have a puff of air but less than /p/ in the first of words like pen, pan etc. Is it correct or not?  However, I just listened a word "apple" from a video of Youtube but I can't hear or catch a puff of air from /p/ in apple.  It sounds like /p/ after /s/ like the words spy, spin etc. Unity doesn't load, no Launcher, no Dash appears
