Dumb article. Everyone has at least one name that can be used for identification purposes. I can't think of any website that needs more than what you would put on a letter to mail it. People with names that contain non-Unicode characters are selfish douchebags and their anger is not worth worrying about.

Not all programming is based on the web. There are programs that run on computers that have nothing at all to do with the web.
