He never said to store real names, and it would make no sense anyway. Instead, you could have (for example) an 80-bit UID/GID, where the high 48 bits identify the namespace that those uid/gid's come from. Old calls continue to exist, as wrappers that prepend the local system's ID to the supplied (32-bit) arguments.
Everything in place will continue to function, in all of its broken glory, and new stuff can successfully discriminate between root on system A and root on system B.

IPv4 routing tables would get unmanageable if you tried finer grained allocation
A routing table with entries for every/24 requires a stunning:
117 440 512! bytes!
... or, roughly $12 worth of RAM, at today's prices.
I'm not sure what you mean by "unmanageable": it's been a long time since backbone routing tables were managed by hand. There may be good reasons for small routing tables, but inherent cost and/or complexity of management are not.
- Buy a brand well known for quality
- Buy from a store with a good reputation - Go for good resolution and high refresh rate - Pick a video card that is compatible with your monitor - Talk extensively with people who have experience with the brand
you are considering.
Revolutionary.
"Heyyyy... I notice you have the brand of monitor I am considering! Would you mind if we, uhhhh... talked extensively?"
You can't judge monitors by store displays, because they're usually driven by a 16-way splitter that makes all the displays look crappy. User reports and brand rep are just slightly less unhelpful, due to wide variations in models (see Viewsonic's E-series or Opto-something line). I recommend lowering your standards.
"Sandia Labs has successfully demostrated the emission of neutrons (a side effect of thermonuclear fusion) from a BB-sized capsule of deuterium using using their venerable Z-Machine (eye-candy!)...
Well, whooptee-doo. Ever heard of a little thing called the AMD Sledgehammer? It's a BB-sized capsule of silicon that not only emits neutrons but also kicks fucking ass at floating-point calculations!
After a few months doing coding on old big iron I accidently balanced my checkbook in octal.
Yeah, I know what you mean, bro'. If you can believe it, I once got so immersed in geek culture that I started confusing Jargon File anecdotes and real life!

Fucking stupid.

Brilliant, assuming an advanced alien race will donate their old computers to us.
Equivalent to replacing the e-mail infrastructure with CGI web-forums, and therefore fucking stupid.

That's a uniquely stupid solution.
You are confusing "option" and "selection".

Doom supported two resolutions, and the graphic window was resizeable: you could shrink the rendered area and get a border around the edge.

The release of 1.5 without MNG support is a sad day for those who love open image formats.
If you're the sort of person who can love an open image formats, every day is a sad day.
If every application that matters is on the web, then there is no "home market" for anything, except glorified dumb terminals and games.
I've tested this innoculation in my lab. See, open-source security really is better!

'Cept it doesn't emit neutrons, you tool.
In that case, one of us looks very foolish.
