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.


Thank you for supporting Meego!


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/

Definitely good enough for one time @projectname.com mailboxes.


When this happens, just search google for cache:[url]

Deer in headlights.


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.


I mean you can imagine valve probably got a huge concession from microsoft/sony if they had that system as a bartering chip.


Back in the day, Netscape did a full rewrite between major versions. There's a Spolsky blog post about it: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000069.html

Very interesting read.


This is totally different. They're not re-writing their application from scratch, but replacing a core component with a popular, well tested and widely support one.


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.


They are ditching their UI toolkit and dev tools as well. It does look like a complete rewrite, maybe with copy&paste of some old features like gestures.


Thanks for the link, it's indeed a good read.


Do note that this article dates from September 2011.


The classic trick with such nonsensical passwords is to use a phrase as mnemonic. "I replied to Garbage on Hacker News on the ninth of January" becomes "IrtGoHNotnoJ".


Looks more like banging on a keyboard to me. Perhaps this user just lets his browser store it and has it emailed to him if he forgets it.


Hey, Mihir. Congratulations on your application(s).

  *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.
