Do you get anything after collecting all the different flags and completing all the memories so everything is full? I don't want to try and collect everything in every memory if I don't get anything in the end.
There are many collectable flags throughout the game of Assassin's Creed and every time one is collected, you get a progress indicator (e.g., 33 of 100).  Is there any reason to collect these, other than bragging rights?  I recall getting all available flags in one particular town and never saw any special reward or secret revealed.
How does a capacitor function in a 120V AC motor circuit? I don't understand the direction of current flow when a capacitor is wired in series with the start windings in, say, a fridge or other AC motor  running at/under 120V AC. Wiring diagrams seem to suggest that voltage energizes the hot leg of the circuit and current flows through the run windings and then returns via the neutral leg. Without a capacitor, the same thing would happen to the start windings. Problem there I guess is that both windings would be in phase and thus no spin created for the rotor. So, a capacitor is wired in series with the start windings which I kind of understand. But I don't know how the voltage and current behave. Does voltage energize the hot leg, flow through the start windings and then charge the capacitor? When voltage on the hot leg oscillates down to zero, does the capacitor discharge back toward the starter windings, or does current flow through the capacitor to the neutral leg? Basically I don't understand where the capacitor's charge goes when the hot leg is hot and when it is not. Lastly, is the capacitor placed between (downstream from) the start windings and neutral, or could it be wired between incoming voltage and the windings? How long does it take for badges to be awarded? How are they generated? Do badges get calculated in real time, or do they get calculated by an external service? How long does it take for a badge to be awarded, once its requirements are met?  Does Stack Overflow use any external services to do things, like maintenance, e-mailing or badge calculation? There has got to be the establishment of a universal auxiliary language.   Does the verb got add more to the context or is it there just for emphasis? Is it even grammatical?  Using Google-Ngrams I found a few similar versions as follow: . For example;   For many from the North, however, it has seemed difficult and there has seemed to be a problem. There has come to be a convolution between this become enmeshed concept of marriage as it exists in the sacred and how it exists in the secular. Most of the time since I have been here, there has appeared to be considerable feeling in the minds of a few. There has had to be some negotiation, obviously, but I think we provided what our soldiers need and what our country needs.   In general, I wanna know if 'have/has'+past-participle+'to be' is grammatical. Let $f$ be an entire function with $|f(z)|\le 100\log|z|,\forall |z|\ge 2,f(i)=2i, \text{ Then} f(1)=?$  I have no idea how to solve this one!  $g(z)={f(z)\over \log|z|}$ Then Can I say $g$ is constant by Liouville Theorem? SSH tunnelling with multiple dynamic port forwardings I am trying to monitor multiple JVMs running on different servers through an ssh tunnel.  Thanks to one of the UNIX gurus here, I have managed to get this running for a single server by:   Run jstatd on the target server Set up Visual VM to use 9696 as its socks proxy port. On my local PC, run:  ssh -L 2222:server1:22 bastion-host  On my local PC, run:  ssh -o port=2222 -D 9696 -L 1099:localhost:1099 localhost    This does the trick. Now when I try and tunnel to a second server I try:   On my local PC, run:  ssh -L 3333:server2:22 bastion-host  On my local PC, run:  ssh -o port=3333 -D 9696 -L 2099:localhost:1099 localhost    However, the last step complains with:  bind: Address already in use channel_setup_fwd_listener: cannot listen to port: 9696   Has anyone managed to do something similar?  Update:  The reason this is so complex is that jstatd is an RMI server application:    As with RMI applications, these register with an rmiregistry. Using rmi through a firewall requires me to use SOCKS as described here:    Unfortunately, visualvm only lets me set the SOCKS proxy port once, and the -D option won't allow me to forward the same local port to both servers... Find all continuous functions satisfying $\int_0^xf=(f(x))^2+C$ for some constant $C \neq 0$. Find all continuous functions $f$ satisfying   $$\int_0^xf=(f(x))^2+C$$ for some constant $C \neq 0$, assuming that $f$ has at most one $0$.  I have a question about the solution to this problem. It says that   Clearly $f^2$ is differentiable everywhere, its derivative at $x$ is $f(x)$ (I'm assuming that this is because the left hand side is differentiable, the right hand side must be differentiable as well). So $f$ is differentiable at $x$ whenever $f(x) \neq 0$, and  $$f(x)=2f(x)f'(x),$$ so $f'(x) = \frac{1}{2}$ at such points. Thus, $f= \frac{1}{2}x+b$ for some $b$ on any interval where it is non-zero; if $f$ has a zero, this gives two possible solutions, with two possible values of $b$, but since $f$ is assumed continuous, they must be the same. So we need $$\int_0^x(\frac{1}{2}t+b)dt=(\frac{1}{2}x+b)^2+C$$  so we must have $b=\sqrt{-C}$ or $-\sqrt{-C}$, leading to two solutions for $C \lt 0$.  I don't understand the bolded statements. First, how does the differentiability of $f^2$ guarantee that $f$ is differentiable, and why only at $x$ where $f(x) \neq 0$?  Next, why are there two possible solutions if $f$ has a zero, but since $f$ is continuous they must be the same?  Finally, does the last statement mean that if $C \gt 0$, then there is no solution, since we're restricted to real numbers here?  I would appreciate it if anyone answers my questions. Show current ping to website on Taksbar I'm looking for a way to monitor my current internet connection quality by showing the ping-response to a website like google in the taskbar on the right side.

I was trying to change the selected items color from the default orange to something else, however, the option isn't there, as it used to be in the Appearance properties in previous versions of ubuntu.

What is the standard interpretation of the order of operations for an expression involving some combination of grouping symbols, exponentiation, radicals, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction? I used an SRTM DEM to create a hillshade in QGIS 2.2.0. However, the resultant hillshade seems to be vertically exaggerated. Also, changing the settings for scale and z-factor does not have any effect on the resultant hillshade. I have tried both options in QGIS, Analysis-> DEM (Terrain models) and Terrain analysis -> Hillshade. Both methods gave the same results.  Is this an isolated incident, a bug, or am I missing something? Arbitrary precision spline interpolation Is it possible to play FIFA 2015, 4v4 on 2 Consoles? I've the following situation: My friends and I, we're 8 in total, want to play Fifa 15 4v4. I know that the Playstation 4 just supports 4 controllers and thats why we think about a 2 console + 2 TV's setup, so 4 players per console.   So my question is: Is it possible or is there a game mode available were we could play such a setup?  Update: After I got the first answer I've to add that I know that the only way to play on 2 consoles would be through the psn online features. So we did not plan to play on Lan. We just want to sit in the same room with 2 consoles and play against each other over psn. KML to Shapefile using GDAL (LIBKML) - MultiGeometry data not transforming I am trying to convert a KML file to Shapefile using GDAL (ogr2ogr). Regular KML files convert fine but KML files containing MultiGeometry features (eg: Geometry containing both Point and Polygon) do not get transformed.   The output is simply a blank shapefile containing no shapes or attributes.  I have tried this command:  ogr2ogr -overwrite -f "ESRI Shapefile" -where OGR_GEOMETRY='MultiGeometry' &lt;ouputfolder&gt; &lt;input kml&gt;   For an example, KML file which has MultiGeometry, you can see the us_states.kml hosted by Google.    Other info: I am using 'GDAL 1.10.1, released 2013/08/26' for windows.

What is the strict aliasing rule? Renewing an unused B1/B2 US visa I have a valid 5 years B1/B2 visa that was issued about 4 years ago.

In what order should one apply max HP reduction and damage? A character at 10/26 HP is hit by a Wraith and fails the Constitution saving throw.
