Getting rid of GUIDs in SharePoint 2010 database names - The SharePoint Farmer's Almanac

Getting rid of GUIDs in SharePoint 2010 database names - The SharePoint Farmer's Almanac: "'But dynamic duo who cares if the world runs out of GUIDs?' Well, to be honest the people it scares the most are the poor developers. And while we generally consider developers second class citizens that doesn't mean we wish them harm. And let's face it, if they didn't have GUIDs they would have nothing to do. And we all know bored developers will wander the halls of your office building aimlessly. Or worse they will congregate in places like the break room and will want to make small talk with you when you go to get an afternoon Mt. Dew. I don't know about you, but nothing ruins my day worse than idle chit-chat with a developer. Yucky.

Get rid of those GUIDs. Whoever decided to put GUIDs in Sharepoint database names and didn't allow the users to change them at install time should be made to type in GUIDs from memory for 30 days. Failure to type in a correct GUID would result in an electric shock.
