Can we use the free space below the new "Hot Network Questions" section (which is great!) to be used for recently awarded gold badges? No bronze or silver badges like it was done in the past. Just gold badges like:

@Bob Like I said, I rebooted the system last night, so the cache hasn't really had time to get populated much. And the reason why I went with such a large amount of RAM when building the PC is that I fire up a couple of VMs now and then, which like to have some real RAM each. Then there's the issue of ZFS's caching which AFAIU doesn't show up as "cache" or "buffers" in free's output. Lots of free RAM just means the system could easily do more.
Anyway, I went ahead and ordered a single 180 GB Intel 530. With my current utilization it'll sit at about 6% of capacity used, which will give the garbage collector and wear leveling algorithms a ton of space to work with.
> The 24-hour clock enjoys broad everyday usage in most countries outside North America, Australia, India and the Philippines, at least when time is written or displayed. In some regions, for example most German, French and Romanian speakers, use the 24-hour clock today even when speaking casually, while in other countries the 12-hour clock is used more often in spoken form.
@MichaelKjörling I'll say it again - it's often (usually?) the controller that fails, not the NAND
@Bob And you can't really do a lot about that except picking hardware which historically has proven to be relatively reliable. Intel SSDs do fall into that segment.
That's why I ended up not getting that separate "swap" SSD I considered at first. Really, though, if the controller fails then as you say write cycles are irrelevant, and if it doesn't, this puts me at such high a number as to make it effectively a non-issue assuming wear leveling works at all on that drive (and I don't see why it wouldn't).
We all know that the best time to upgrade the computer is perpetually about half a year from now, but I don't think my system spinning-rust drive will survive half a year so I kind of need to do something about it pretty soon. And I certainly can put swap on a zvol on the ZFS pool; I tried it and the kernel does not complain, although it might cause some slight issues with the boot service startup order (that I want to fix anyway, for other reasons).
@Boris_yo I wanted a ballpark figure, and I doubt the 3,000 write cycles to failure is completely exact either. Now I'm getting confused, though.
The correct figure is more along the lines of 74 years, it seems. To have written 540 TB at a rate of 20 GB/day takes 27000 days which is right around 74 years. Even more reason not to worry about NAND failure. And I doubt I'll be writing anywhere near as much as 20 GB/day.
@Boris_yo no more than an ancient wooden spoon would have value today ;p an interesting collector's piece to describe what technology existed in years past... but not useful :P

@Gowtham Ahahah too small for your head! You look like... Anybody is familiar with Morocco Mole? The friend of Secret Squirell? That's what I wanted to say.
In my class, I was playing around and found out that CSS works with made-up tags.
Example:
<style>
imsocool {
color:blue;
}
</style>
<body>
<imsocool>HELLO</imsocool>
</body>
When my professor first saw me using this, he was a bit surprised that made-up tags worked and recommended I simply c...
It's based on the browser, and as the answer said below, it's because the browser wants to help out the user and be futureproofed. They just won't change the meaning of the tag, until it sees CSS or Javascript or something else
Lawyer loses domain grab: A nimble lawyer who grabbed the domain facebook.co.il has been forced to forgo it for free, after an arbitrator ruled that no, Facebook didn't have to pay him $10,000 for it. Within 30 days, the site will automatically redirect to the popular social networking site founded by Mark Zuckerberg, under the Israeli Internet Association ruling. The lawyer, Gal Erel, may appeal.
lol doesn't lawyer know about trademark domain name infringement?
The top bar of a Stack Exchange site has always been a bit of an odd place. It somehow combines user info, navigation, search, and a one-size-fits-all popup that includes hot network questions, a list of 100+ Stack Exchange sites, personal inbox messages, and other system notifications (lovingly referred to as The StackExchange™ MultiCollider SuperDropdown™).
It was, in retrospect, overdue for a face-lift which is why we’re excited to roll out a new top bar this week.
So, in the redesigned top bar, we wanted to make sure that it would look the same across all sites, and make it obvious that you’ …

@deed02392 Although I didn't make the comments, I can guess that the issue is that you are assuming since programs can do it, it's built into Windows. Whether that's true or not, I don't know and personally, don't care. I think it's a valid question myself, but I don't have anything constructive to say, so I won't be making any comments or providing an answer (as I don't know)
@Boris_yo I'm impressed it understood what I meant
@CanadianLuke Well those domain selling douche-bags make a living from what they do and their activity of claiming potential domains allows them to throw domains for premium prices to average joes. Like vampires they suck from pool of available domains making people's life harder.
