I think it's time to move beyond those traditional limits. At some

I use a lot of real usernames longer than 8 characters and my biggest issue is ugly ls output. How do others deal with that? Can you get ls to widen columns to the width needed to accommodate the widest token? (A similar problem occurs when listing a very large file, since the size overflows that column.)
