/prog/ - Real programmers are not anonymous

Name: James W. Hall 2013-01-22 2:25

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.

Stopped fucking reading right there. He is a stupid, burnt-out ~~has-been~~ never-was. Any thread about him is an obvious troll. You are really grasping at straws here; if you keep shitposting this poorly then soon you'll be Nikita quality.

Oh James,

Why would you want people to post their real names on site that encourages anonymity?

Either You're a faggot or the FBI is running out of ideas

Great idea if you do crypto work and you love being harassed by border patrol (because, really, nobody else would ever touch you anyway).

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,
do you?

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?

No, but anyone who picks the names James by free will must be a faggot who feel either like Peter Parker or James Bond

No, you've got to spend at least 12 hours a day on IRC bragging about trite crap and acting like a faggot. Coding should be kept to a minimal, like Neal Stephenson's 'hacker' protagonist.

Give it the fuck up already. Hacker means security breaker. No one is going to operate by your stupid definition. Might as well call yourselves niggers it'll get you just as much respect.

Well substitute the FBI with your national police force, moot with your ISP, and IP address with the names of everyone who accessed 4chan.

No, I want le social upboat interface and such. It can be CVS for all I care. I just want it purely anonymous.

Following with .onionland trends, it will host nothing useful (except maybe code useful to child pornographers, drug dealers, and scam artists), so it doesn't have to be too functional.

That statements holds for the surveillanceland too. The Internet is a reflection of its users, so naturally 98% of it is useless shit. The statistic also holds for free code hosting services.

(except maybe code useful to child pornographers, drug dealers, and scam artists)
such as lunix and gnu paedophile guard amirite? typing that almost gave me an aneurysm

code useful to drug dealers
How about growers and makers?
There'd be a market for a trustworthy software system that automates solenoid valves or the like.
Or perhaps start putting nutrient and pH testing info into R, to generate statistical readouts? Perhaps a heatmap for nutrients across the land. You could sell that shit to farmers too.
All in all I think it's a fascinating and brilliant time we live in to be in the drug manufacture profession.
Technology can only aid us in improving quality and productivity!

I've wanted to make a loli-touching game for the past few years. If >>30-chan would upgrade to at least SVN, I'd host it on his hidden site.

Well, I would, if I had any skill, ambition, creativity, critical-thinking skills, or energy to do anything after work.

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.
