Interesting, but the site doesn't handle tools like NoScript gracefully.

Someone on the Joel on Software discussion board noted that it would cost by hundreds of dollars ($600?) to paint a single wall.

I priced it out for a wall, and it's really expensive. For an 8ft x 18ft wall, at $3.99/square foot, it would cost $574.56.

Have you ever priced out a white board to fit that space? An actual whiteboard that size would be much pricier. This actually doesn't seem too unreasonable.

Good thing for kindergardens or elementary schools :-) Can't imagine it'll spread elsewhere though. Looks too messy.

Kinda makes me nervous: Whoops. Sorry! I thought I was in my office....

If you redefine common things, your expectations diverge from the norm eventually. This is a problem only in proportion to the consequences of error, so it's one argument for strict standardization of safety measures.
