Hey, finally the complete collection is available at http://www.stileproject.com/assman.html !
I didn't bother to click on the thumbnails though, I'd rather read these inane posts more...
Do you know something called robots ? By saying 'if we ever manage to sort things out' I mean so much more than I could express in words easily... and this is already off-topic enough.
That's not really any different than a lot of people's email addresses, in which the user has decided to have it reflect their real name.
It *is* different, because you have to verify via snail mail, and thus can't fake a name. As I said, I would only use such an address with people I know in person anyway. IMHO there isn't anything worrying about this at all, because you could always use another account if you don't want your identity to be revealed.
I'm talking utopia here. If we ever manage to sort things out, *nobody* will have to do any work he doesn't want to. I agree that may seem far out, but I am a hopeless optimist, sorry. As for intellectual property: IMHO real developement (i.e. things that are useful and good) doesn't occur because there is money to gain, but because humans are curious (think children). It may slow down progress a bit, but I think that the loss of quantity will be MORE than made up by the increase of quality.
In germany, you can get your hans.schnitzel34@epost.de (epost ~ email). I think this is a nice thing to have; you can give this address to people that know your full name anyway. Why not have one email address you keep for the rest of your life ? Considering you can have as many fake ones as you wish.
...when there is no poverty anymore (technically this is already possible, it only has to 'happen'), the only motivation to create art will be the love for it (or boredom). Real artists don't do it for the money, the do it because they have no choice. Because they just can't stop. Because they're addicted. Amen.

That was UBB code for inverted. Someone please kill me.

Sorry dude, but 'virus' is latin and 'virii' is the plural. It was made up by idiots though... Romans, that is.
