AT&T Accidentally Leaks NSA Suit Information
op12 writes "CNET has an article describing how AT&T accidentally leaked sensitive information involving the NSA lawsuit. From the article: 'AT&T's attorneys this week filed a 25-page legal brief striped with thick black lines that were intended to obscure portions of three pages and render them unreadable. But the obscured text nevertheless can be copied and pasted inside some PDF readers, including Preview under Apple's OS X and the xpdf utility used with X11. The deleted portions of the legal brief seek to offer benign reasons why AT&T would allegedly have a secret room at its downtown San Francisco switching center that would be designed to monitor Internet and telephone traffic. The Electronic Frontier Foundation, which filed the class action lawsuit in January, alleges that room is used by an unlawful National Security Agency surveillance program.""

> Allowing programmers to name serious 'flagship' Linux applications is right in line with letting marketing write them.
Who cares? If you don't like the name, fork the project and rename it.
Programmers don't care about touchy-feelie things like names. They like good code that works for them. If you have different goals, then maybe you should write "flagship" applications and name them what you like.
Free software isn't about taking over the world with cute names. The people that have the coding ability to good work just don't care. Sorry. Use Windows if that's important to you. Freedom wins over superficiality.
