Such a wealth of evidence that this is complete bullshit.
Emacs, Gnome, Amarok, Chrome, Firefox, Git, Mercurial, Hibernate, Spring, Play, Om, Racer.
GNOME is Gnu Network Object Model Environment.
a lot of these things it makes sense just to give a unique name (Git, Mercurial) followed by its 'type', e.g. "The Git VCS".
I may not understand what Emacs is by looking at just the name, but I'll definitely not think it's a breakthrough in quantum physics or a planetary engineering project.
I would state that, in previous times, this type of comment thread would be killed fairly quickly given what you name something really isn't that important vs. what it actually does for helping secure infrastructure. Perhaps we're seeing the effect of viral irrationality manifest itself here, within our gates.
We're here for learning about technology. We're not here to have some meaningless discussion about marketing tactics.
It's a company, under which other companies are contained?
