Rashi (February 22, 1040-July 17, 1105) is the acronym of Rabbi Solomon ben Isaac (or: Shlomo Yitzhaki).
He is one of Judaism's classic meforshim (Bible and Talmud commentators), and wrote the first comprehensive commentaries on the Tanakh (the Hebrew Bible) and Talmud.
This is true of the tractate Makkot, the concluding portions of which were composed by his son-in-law Rabbi Judah ben Nathan and of Bava Batra finished (in a more detailed style) by his grandson, Rabbi Samuel ben Meir (also known as the Rashbam), one of the prominent contributors to the Tosafot.

Nathan pulled out two shirts and we selected one, then he put on some pants, got on his socks, and slipped on his shoes (these are knotted permanently).
Nathan's looking on at the Torah felt very important to me, the chain of tradition being passed from generation to generation.

 2 Systems of Reality
I believe the statement that Rabbi Eliezer answered all of the questions in the world is actually a clue to the central idea of this section of Talmud.
Rabbi Eliezer's final argument was the most airtight, that even heaven (the final word) is in line with his views.
Rabbi Eliezer's actual words (not recorded herein) are of no consequence, as the Talmud merely desired to teach that Rabbi Eliezer displayed his grasp of objective reality to such an extent - and in succession - spanning the lowest matters to the highest.

The reason for this is simple: while hearings in these courts are possible only when all concerned parties volunteer to appear before them, people in a position of weakness in communities that use these courts (women, for example) are easily coerced into appearing "voluntarily".

 Maharal - Chapter 2: Mishna 12 - Torah.org
While Rebbi Eliezer ben Horkonus's virtue emanated from his "koach hanafshi," giving him the ability to retain all that he learned and absorbed, Rebbi Elazar ben Arach (whose virtue emanated from the same koach) was like a flowing spring that surges forth, enabling him to generate wisdom from within himself.
Rebbi Eliezer had these wisdoms due to the great quantity of wisdom he received from outside sources, all of which he preserved due to his powers of retention.
We are taught in Masecheth Sukka (27b and 28a) that Rebbi Eliezer ben Horkonus never taught something on his own, but only "said over" what he had heard from his Rebbe (teacher).

 Tractate Shabbat Chapter 19: Regulations ordained by R. Eliezer concerning circumcision on the Sabbath
Firstly, because R. Eliezer was an adherent of the school of Shamai; and secondly, because where one man is opposed to a number the majority should prevail, and the majority was against R. Eliezer; and R. Osiah answered the sages, who were angered, that the case was not as it appeared to them.
Eliezer ben Azariah says: One may bathe a child on the third day (after the circumcision), even if it fall on a Sabbath; for it is written [Genesis xxxiv.
Perhaps R. Eliezer means to tell us, principally, that both schools hold, that if a child is born without a foreskin on a week-day he must have his gland lanced (and incidentally mentions that if a difference existed, it was concerning the Sabbath).

Rabbenu Asher ben Jehiel (1259-1328), an eminent Talmudist often known by his Hebrew acronym the ROSh (literally "Head"), was born in western Germany and died in Toledo, Spain.
Rabbi Asher ben Jehiel was the most prominent disciple of Rabbi Meir ben Baruch of Rothenburg, and, like his teacher, was in all likelihood the victim of flmail by the government, which desired to deprive him of his fortune.
His emigration from Germany was probably involuntary, for according to his own statement, he possessed considerable means while in Germany, but in later years could not assist his son Jacob, whose poverty prevented him from honoring the Sabbath with special garments and meals.

 Thanks for the Mnemonics
Rabbi Eliezer ben Nathan suggested that Rabbi Judah had intended his acronym to function as a replacement for the full recitation of the plagues, as an object lesson of how people should always strive to express themselves as concisely as possible.
For example, a commentary ascribed to Rashi's grandson Rabbi Samuel ben Meir explains that the first set of three plagues were all connected to the earth, the last to the air, while the intermediate group occurred in a natural manner.
Another threefold pattern that appears in the Torah's narrative is that the first two plagues in each triad were preceded by forewarnings of the impending disaster; whereas the third plague was inflicted on them without prior notification.
