Ditto. Unless _why goes by multiple names in real life (which I suppose is possible), that's not him.
It is possible that Jonathan Gillette and _why worked in the same company, and _why used Jonathan's computer, or so.

Someone outed him here: http://whoiswhytheluckystiff.wordpress.com/
Something doesn't seem right about that detective work - there's a Jonathan Gillette online who is a web developer in Harrisburg, PA who doesn't seem to be _why. Obviously it's likely that there's more than one Jonathan Gillette on the internet, but it seems odd to me that this other guy is also a web developer, with a decent online presence, in (somewhat) the same geographic area where _why is suspected to live, tha…

The wikipedia page shows an image of him apparently giving a public speech. If his privacy was so precious to him I don't think he would do things like that. Hence I would say this was just a little game - and he lost.
privacy must be respected, and actually should be enforced by everybody, including you. meaning: even if you know him, you should pretend that he is anonymous person, disconnecting the _why persona from the real-life person. for example, if you know him, and you hire him, you still should ignore the on-line _why persona, because for privacy purposes, it is separate, anonymous entity, and you should not connect it to…
Honestly, I think it's better to throw out the notion of digital privacy entirely and start pushing the notion of universal visibility, and accountability. Once everyone is naked, we'll stop obsessing over the naughty bits.

Did he literally put out a challenge or do you actually see a person's privacy as a game?

Another one: http://ftp.df.lth.se/pub/scene.org/music/groups/starving_but... look at the .txt file : both Jonathan Gillette and Kylie Gillette are present ...
And if that isn't enough, here is their CD. http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/tcwwak Note the familiar figure on the cover.

Maybe you could try http://friendpaste.com :)
does this run code? take another look at codepad. It's not just a pastebin.

take a look on friendpaste this isn't just a pastebin too. For code running. Yes I missed the point. Maybe because I don't see how it could works on most code if you can't import your own modules. I would be happy to participate to such project. Is sourcecode of codepad around ?
Oh, nevermind, it's a #nosql site. I withdraw my argument.

Oh please! realtime discussions, revsions & more. Maybe you should be more attentive rather than wanting to make your point. I already said, idea of executing code is interesting. but then something should be found to execute also custom modules. that's all what I said and I would be happy to play with this idea.
FriendPaste is neat, but it's not as daring as letting people run a bunch of different languages on your server like CodePad does. I imagine one reason it's not open source is that they're relying partly on security through obscurity. I would be if I were running such a site.
BTW, I did check it out more in depth, and its python interpreter runs "import datetime" and "print datetime.datetime.now()" fine, but gives an error than an md5 library is missing when you try to run "import urllib2". So it supports some standard modules but not all.
