For a time, it was good.

Long names are silly. My name is eleven characters long plus a space, and that's plenty. Too long, if anything. Long names are just flouncy. Names are only there to identify someone, and unless you are friends with a billion people (approx), two names should suffice.
I think we should have numbers instead of names, at least surnames. I'd enjoy being Jack 948125. The Animatrix is awesome, the first robot city ever built is called 01. Fucking ace name, logical.
But yeah, names, silly.
I'll tell you what else is good, Aphex Twin.
B166ER; a name that will never be forgotten.
I switched to the Google account thing. It wouldn't let me not. I don't like Google simply because it feels like they are trying to somewhat monopolise the internet.
Is getting stoned alone sad? Think I might do it.

In real life, they'd call it "0".

By the time ISPs can't make a profit because of the massive increase in bandwidth requirements because of internet video (TV), Google will own its own fibre network over America and will become *the* ISP.

And they'll get into targeted advertising on TV.

Or at least, that's what Cringely says.

i have an extremely long name (including middle names) 26 letters. I prefer it that way though, numbers seem cold

8 letters.

There are only about 4 names in the whole of Wales, that's sillier.

haven't read this thing for a while. i remember when you used to moan about having a short name wendy. i quite like having 26 letters in the main part of my name, 31 on my birth certificate, and and another 19 with the other three names. it's a slight bitch in exams though.
