− | + | Here, given how complex a name change of a server (whose name would be placed in dozens of machines) can be, [[Cueball]] wants to make sure that there is a "be all to end all" name that he can give to the server he is running. When [[Megan]] quips on how quickly Cueball named his daughter (a living being, that is, the type of entity that would give the server purpose), Cueball mentions that he thinks that it is easier to change a person's name than to change the hostname of a server because of the number of changes that would need to be made to each of the machines that would have saved the old name of the server. However, it seems that Cueball has never had to wait in line at the Social Security Administration office or at the Department of Motor Vehicles. Those two name change processes make finding and changing dozens of hostfiles look like a piece of cake. Then again, Cueball was probably just panicking at the time of naming his daughter on account of Megan's drug high; Cueball references an "{{w|epidural}}" which is a process used during childbirth/labor that blocks both pain and sensation (by continuously injecting drugs directly into the spinal canal). Megan affirms it had her very much pleasantly euphoric (or "out of it", or "high as a kite"), as most painkillers do. Given the immensely painful process of childbirth, Megan was probably simply desperately begging epidural at the time, not actually wanting to name her daughter "Epidural." | |
