Well, they don't have a color scheme, but some currencies definitely have a color "identity".

The Euro is yellow on blue, like the EU flag.

When you think of the Dollar, you think green (so many popular sayings came from this one!).

I am sure there are more, but I cannot remember any at the moment.

You can still sign up for Google Apps' free tier, Google is just hiding it deeper and deeper in the interface. Last time I did it was two weeks or so ago, and I had to sign up via the Google App Engine control panel, as detailed here: http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/google-app-mail-for-free/

OK, speculation time.

My view: Valve is retreating from building the Steambox in-house.

Gamasutra mentions that the layouts might have affected the Android and Hardware divisions the most. The Valve Employee Handbook states that the ideal employee is t-shaped, which, I assume, might not fit the profile of someone hired to do Steambox engineering and prototyping.

Exciting times. I really didn't expect Valve to do something like this. Will be following developments closely.

Indeed it is -- GP only mentioned he didn't know any example of a large amount of code being thrown out, so I provided one.

  *TMAScan*
  TMAScan is a Matlab program that I creataed that aims to automate the
  tumor diagnosis process. Once a physician selects a digitized image of a
  tissue sample, certain portions are extracted and analyzed futher, and a
  final score is calculated. This score is directly correlated with the
  malignancy of the tumor. After extensive testing, I determined that the
  program's scores had a strong correlation with those of the expert.

Yep, I have wasted my life. I'm very happy for him, don't get me wrong, but this suddenly made me very sad for myself.

It was a joke re: THQ's precarious situation.

Hey,

I thought about doing this 3 or 4 days ago (eerily similar -- I had even decided on Biwa Scheme as well). To avoid duplication of effort, I would rather contribute to your iSICP than start my own.
