How can I distinct levels of badges for a particular tag, e.g. linq querying SEDE?
For example, Mr. John Skeet has all the gold, silver and bronze badges, so query
select *
from Badges b with (nolock)
where
b.Name = 'linq'
and b.UserId = 22656
returns 3, with no distinction between them.
Why is that sometimes SO indicates that another question is linked to somewhere on the current page, but I just can't find where, no matter how much I look?
For example, here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8041703/remove-white-background-from-an-image-and-make-it-transparent it says "Reading UTF-8 text files with ReadList" is linked, but I just can't find where!
@AManAPlanACanalPanama Because I was the one who put the link there, and it was just a small joke, not something constructive.
Another question: if I go to almost any c++-question, the C++ chat room will be linked in the sidebar. Why? How can one get a relevant chatroom linked for certain tags?

Programmers are known as early adapters, and if Stack Overflow is so successful, I think a general question and answers website open to the whole public will be extremely successful. Plus this being built with a Microsoft stack, I think it will be bought by Microsoft in less than a year.
I spotted a user that posts almost exact duplicates of other answers, just adds a line or two. Technically his answers are slightly more informative than the ones he copies, so I'm not sure what to do. Flag and let the mods decide?
I went to http://stackoverflow.com/review/ to check on some new posts.
To my surprise the page looked like this:
And the the same for when I clicked on week and month.
ONLY when I clicked on year did I get results.
What is going on here?
@Juhana Ignore it. The OP should see the dates and and decide which to pick. If it's truly a better answer, then it deserves the votes/check it gets. If not, people will ignore it. You should do the same.
Working on a paper and trying to get browser's grimy hands on Inc magazine's article from the 80s on Jobs. If anyone has better Google-fu than I, let me know.
I came to SO to look for a solution to an actual program and got completely distracted by the fact that an easily verifiable incorrect late answer managed to get as many votes as my not necessarily correct but not stupid one (on a year old question).
Also: Users. Sheesh! Yknow?
The spacebar and the delete key don't do the same thing. Shocking.
Keyboard focus is on the delete button. Pressing the spacebar activates the button with focus, triggering the delete action. Should pressing the delete key also trigger the delete action, or should it delete the delete button?
There is the saying:
If it aint broke, don't fix it.
The way it works now is fine, with all the moderation either the question is closed or edited correctly
Who is to say every problem has that same format?
How does a question like .prop() vs .attr() fit into that at all?

I once had arranged to do graduate studies in HCI.
But then I found a real job.
Ironically, when it came time for me to finally do some juicy HCI work, they brought the person in who would have been my mentor as a consultant to do it.
@Shog9 To be honest, I've never punched through either. But doesn't drywall come with the implicit assumption that there are metal or wooden studs behind it?
Stack Overflow has successfully borrowed at least one XBox feature (Achievements). I'd like to see another feature borrowed as well.

Man. No love for Fitts's Law. @mootinator, just spend all your SE time on chat, where you can ignore people.

@Moshe For a political science course I'd guess you're probably avoiding some much more painful (i.e. more conventionally political) topics by discussing Apple. =p
That would have been around the time of the Orwellian 667Mhz processors.
As if we all didn't know who Intel was in cahoots with.
@Moshe You can't actually type in their datepicker?
@PopularDemand Sorry, insert random joke about the amount of time it takes for my head to crash into a joist depending on the spacing of the joists, the size of the joists and my distance from the ceiling.
@Moshe Also, I would shorten your article to "Dear Chicago Tribune: Use jQuery"
