- lifeisstillgood 12y agoWhat on earth? Google imposes non disclosure on ex-employees to mention by name in-house monitoring systems? (Presumably Borg-monitor?) That strikes me as a bit paranoid, not letting the name of a monitoring system be revealed. Am I missing something?

- ithkuil 12y agoOnce I heard a urban legend about a programmer being sued because he was using mickeyMouse as a variable name. I wouldn't be surprised if many of such cases of non-disclosure are to avoid hungry lawyers for trying to suck some blood out of rich companies. I guess the star trek franchise is owned by Paramount or something like this.
- ggambetta 12y agoThank you. I did, in fact, make sure the name and the fact that it is a monitoring system were already public (and from an official source) before mentioning them in this post.
