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.

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.

such as lunix and gnu paedophile guard amirite? typing that almost gave me an aneurysm

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!

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?

I'm not Jewish.
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).
>>77 you can tell your hardworking brothers (the Bernsteins and Goldbergs)
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.

You jews claim to be so smart, yet all you can spout is ad hominem. I would be disappointed if I didn't know better about anything that comes out of your beak faced mouths and the validity of which.
"It was tracked down by Fred Shapiro, editor of The Yale Dictionary Of Quotations and author of a paper with a most hilarious and offensive name. The MIT article dispels the common notion that “hacker” was a purely white-hat term later corrupted by the media. The black-hat connotation was there early on; Richard Stallman was 10 years old when this was printed."

Good point. Call me a nigger from now on. Now to write a FAQ entitled ``How To Be A Nigger''. Step 0: Always user ``nigger quotes''.

Step 0: Be an ugly parasite
Step א: Infiltrate host civilizations
Step ב: Steal from, kidnap, rape, and murder host civilizations' native people
Step ג: Cry holy shoah
I know IHBT, but what he really means is "real programmers are not pseudonymous". I'm sure esr accepts there are hackers who share useful contributions like sleep sort and Fibonacci butt sort without wanting ``respect'' or internet fame.

Giflib, other than that, nothing notable. Well, he was on the board for VA Linux, but right after he made his blog post claiming to be a millionaire and that people had better not piss a rich man off, it crashed and burned.

Yes, this is really a thing. http://www.catb.org/esr/software.html sng
This tool enables you to decompile PNGs into an information-preserving .sng text format that you can hack with a text editor. Then you can recompile the .sng back to a .png — handy if you need to add or edit some obscure ancillary PNG chunk that your graphics tools don't understand. Also handy if you want to generate PNGs programmatically using text tools.

Take following example:
1. a few years ago you asked idiotic questions on stakoverflow and posted antisemitic defamation on stormfront, about how google spies over it's users and Sergey Brin is a cocksucking kike - all using your real name.
2. now you're applying to google for a job.
3. interviewer will lookup your name, quickly finding that you're incompetent (asking questions on stakoverflow) and poses problem for company security, due to your hatred of Jewish CEOs and big corporations. 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.
