LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters)
-- Los Angeles officials have asked that manufacturers, suppliers and contractors stop using the terms "master" and "slave" on computer equipment, saying such terms are unacceptable and offensive.

Saw this posted on another board... and I'm speechless. I think people are taking political corectness *WAY* to far anymore.

Some people need to fucking let shit go and stop being assholes.

LA is way too over now. First ban lap dancing, now this.

What's wrong with my LA?

Good thing is that LA is still ahead of the trend, eg. asshole bleaching.

"In the computer industry, "master" and "slave" are used to refer to primary and secondary hard disk drives. "

You sure that is it? LOL dumbasses.

wtf is wrong with people.

phpslave · 11-26-2003, 12:56 PM

"It appears that some folks have taken this a little too literally."

no shit, lol (sounds like he has some sence), who are these people that take it so literally. I see shit like this all the time but I don't know anyone like this, thank god.

So now mysql in that county can't call it a master and slave database or any database scenario for that matter. Will MS be sued next for it's term in MSSQL, lol.

Fuckin' ******s. It's all their fault!

fuzebox · 11-26-2003, 12:58 PM

Let's change the names to "own3r" and "own3d"...

Really though, what a waste of time and money.

FookMi · 11-26-2003, 01:01 PM

I'm no racist, but i beleive this change is provoked by "African Americans". They would be worked up over something that small.

I doubt it. It's probably some bored white bitch that has nothing better to do than be a typical stupid white bitch.

I admit it...I often feel oppressed by my computer

But most "African Americans" have better things to do with their time than spend it worrying about silly shit like this.

dougeetx · 11-26-2003, 01:13 PM

Speaking as a black man in the computer industry, GET THE FUCK OVER IT!! Damn! What will make them feel better? Should we call them "Pimp" and "hoe" or "Classy" and "skank"? Dang!

AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE · 11-26-2003, 01:15 PM

I like that "Skank Drive" idea!

EvilFubAr · 11-26-2003, 01:46 PM

Can we still use real slaves? or is that bad?

phpslave · 11-26-2003, 01:48 PM

I think you can, as long as your not in CA

evilregis · 11-26-2003, 02:08 PM

phpslave... careful, you may be having to change your nick there if the wrong person catches wind of it.

FrankWhite · 11-26-2003, 02:10 PM

retarded shit.

"The request .....came after an unidentified worker spotted a videotape machine carrying devices labeled "master" and "slave" and filed a discrimination complaint with the county's Office of Affirmative Action Compliance."

Somebody ought to take that "unidentified worker" ....and um....identify him/her.

Furious_Female · 11-26-2003, 03:07 PM

Whenever one of my PCs boots up, it has master and slave dialogue. I really never even thought about it being offensive, because I guess I have a deeper understanding of word defintions than most of these politically correct idiots. Sorry to burst the bubble of any African American, but you weren't the first or only slaves. Even white people have endured slavery... it's horrible to even think about, but the words itself have more meaning than just cruelty to humans.

playa · 11-26-2003, 04:20 PM

Personally i'm offended by the term "MotherBoard"

and please stop labeling cables and connector by gender
it drives me crazy

phpslave · 11-26-2003, 04:31 PM

what about the sister board, I havn't seen one in awhile I'm sure there still around though.
