When you first accept the invitation to join the site, you are asked to create a username, along with a password.

This screen tells you if the username is available or not, before you submit the form. Right now, it says that "Earth" is available, but "earth" is not available, according the the red text on the page.

The issue may or may not be prevented further along in the process of signing up for the site. If you give out the same username to multiple people (with different case), then this could be a serious bug. I use Ubuntu 11.04 with firefox 4.0
