As esr so eloquently puts it in How To Become A Hacker[1]: The problem with screen names or handles deserves some amplification. Concealing your identity behind a handle is a juvenile and silly behavior characteristic of crackers, warez d00dz, and other lower life forms. Hackers don't do this; they're proud of what they do and want it associated with their real names. So if you have a handle, drop it. In the hacker culture it will only mark you as a loser.
So if you guys and girls want to get respect as programmers, you'd better use your real names from here on out.

You don't seriously think that
a) this guys name is seriously James,
b) the FBI couldn't call moot up at 9:00AM for an IP address, and have your name by lunch,
c) that this is not a poor attempt at trolling,

Wasn't moot involved at one point in a full-blown federal court case over the content of 4chan, and never actually required to deliver any sort of user information?

Using real name will easier prosecutor's job. Also, if you publish anti-semitic comments, like me, you can easily lose your job or get expelled from college (your professor, Sussman, is Jewish, after all). Some anti-fascist groups can also throw a few molotov cocktails inside your window.

FBI can, but your Jewish professor can't. And FBI won't bother with an average anti-semite, unless you have some important position.
>>40 In most non-fuckwad countries, the law doesn't care as long as you don't make threats of or calls to violence against a person or a group.
I doubt your Jewish employer would care about law, when he fires you.
Then again, antisemitism is a threat in itself, because Jewish oligarchy owns a disproportionate amount of capital and pointing this would be a provocation.

And now he'll argue that almost all jews are evil. Actually, the real (stronger) argument to be made is that if membership to a group is not predicated by "evilness" (i.e. a gang might require robbing or killing someone as part of the initiation), then even if all but one members of the group are known to be evil, you still can't judge "evil" the member of the group about which you don't know anything. Thus even if every single jew you've ever met was evil, you still can't conclude that there does not exist a single non-evil jew. Suppose that a proper reaction to evilness is hate (which it isn't). Hating all jews for their collective evilness thus has a large chance of punishing a non-evil individual. Since punishing the innocent is evil, you are evil, so you should hate yourself.
Mathematical logic, the crown jewel of human development.

So if 99.99% of $group are evil and you are part of the 0.01% who aren't, you would be ok with being hated for things you didn't (and would never) do?

The reason using your real name is good in any capitalist industry is so you can tell your hardworking brothers (the Bernsteins and Goldbergs) from the disgusting slackers (the Smiths and Browns).

Jews use different identification methods. First of all, Jews participate in local branches of global Jewish organizations, used by Jewish oligarchy to direct Jews towards common goal. Every Jewish community also have synagogue, so any visiting Jew quickly find anyone he needs.

This tool enables you to decompile PNGs into an information-preserving .sng text format that you can hack with a text editor.

Interviewer will also find that you write Lisp (antisocial language, only complete jerks and assholes use), which will be the last argument against employing you.

on any given day upwards of 100,000 people could be inside the towers. NIST estimated that approximately 17,400 civilians were in the World Trade Center complex at the time of the September 11, 2001 attacks.[9] Turnstile counts from the Port Authority indicate that the number of people typically in the Twin Towers by 10:30 am was 14,154.[10] 2,977 fatalities
Quite sad, but in some ways lucky, it might have been 30 x that number... Also stats on the resulting wars..? Or are they all classified?
ah nevermind.. total of 4,486 U.S. soldiers were killed in Iraq between 2003 and 2012 Opinion Research Business survey 1,033,000 deaths as a result of the conflict March 2003 to August 2007 WikiLeaks. Classified Iraq war logs[1][4][5][6] 109,032 deaths including 66,081 civilian deaths.[7][8] January 2004 to December 2009 The Lancet study's figure of 654,965 excess deaths through the end of June 2006 is based on household survey data. The estimate is for all excess violent and nonviolent deaths. That also includes those due to increased lawlessness, degraded infrastructure, poorer healthcare, etc. 601,027 deaths (range of 426,369 to 793,663 using a 95% confidence interval) were estimated to be due to violence. 31% of those were attributed to the Coalition, 24% to others, 46% unknown. The causes of violent deaths were gunshot (56%), car bomb (13%), other explosion/ordnance (14%), airstrike (13%), accident (2%), unknown (2%). A copy of a death certificate was available for a high proportion of the reported deaths (92% of those households asked to produce one).
what if the 'terrorists' also had some reason to attack? ...well they would, wouldn't they? It might not be a very good reason, but what reasons really are..? --both sides acted atrociously-- in my humble opinion
Being that the actual number of 'combatants' would've been a tiny fraction of the population (at least to begin with... no telling now / into the future..) Couldn't you have just taken 'some action ?' that would benefit the general populus and nullified the threat? ^^
>>150 total of 4,486 U.S. soldiers were killed in Iraq between 2003 and 2012 1,033,000 deaths as a result of the conflict

Most of the deaths are result of the war. Similarly, Nazi Germany lost most not during the war, but after it, when everything collapsed.
Don't classify someone as "untrustworthy" just because they have let you down once or twice before. Learn not to hold on to the past too much because it can hinder your ability to trust people in the future (see 'Warnings').

That's such bullshit. This is what happened:
* RMS pioneered the free software movement.
* ESR wrote some shitty book about it.
* Some guy whose name I forget but I believe wrote Bison learned of free software through ESR's shitty book.
* The Bison guy felt that free software would have broader commercial appeal if it wasn't called ``free'' software.
* The Bison guy founded the Open Source Initiative, which is simple an initiative to drop the word ``free'' from free software so he could sell it.
* The Bison guy brought ESR on because he considered him to be the expert, having read his shitty book.
* The Open Source Initiative was founded and with the term ``open source'' approve by Linus, the Bison guy founded the first commercial Linux venture.
* The venture went public and the Bison guy, along with ESR, Linus and just about every other kernel developer holding stock, became millionaires overnight.
* The company eventually failed and everybody who held their stock lost their money.
ESR's take on the situation: I SINGLE-HANDEDLY INVENTED OPEN SOURCE, COMMERCIALIZED IT AND CONQUERED MICROSOFT AND IBM!!!

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
"What are you doing?" asked Minsky.
"I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-tac-toe," Sussman replied.
"Why is the net wired randomly?", asked Minsky.
"I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play," Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes.
"Why do you close your eyes?" Sussman asked his teacher.
"So that the room will be empty."
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.
