No more Master/Slave Hard drives

it looks better on the site, rather than copy paste.


they think that the master/slave terms are racist and they cant use them anymore.

i just thought it was really funny.

My family has been in the Window making business for years all the way back to my grandfather, we have made many windows over the years, and I find the term "Microsoft Windows" very degrading to all of us out there who make actual windows... Can we all stop using that term as well?

And, of course, you won't be able to specify if the connectors on your cables are "male" or "female".

And forget about using UNIX, it sounds too much like eunuchs.

Im glad to see that California has its priorities straight. Balance your f*cking budget first, then worry about trite things like this.

Haha, I wonder if computer manufacturers will actually agree to this. It would be such a waste making labels JUST for California. Personally, I wouldn't bother. Maybe the state will stop being so damn sensitive if companies refuse to sell them hard drives.

the manufacturers ought to band together and collectively refuse to play ball. That'll screw California up when they can't buy hard drives from anyone.

lessee.

We shouldn't call it a monitor. Sounds too supervisory, and we're all team members right? Call them visual information conveyance devices

no hard drives. Too sexual. Should be semi-permanent information storage and retrieval devices.

No floppy drives. See hard drives. Should be temporary. . .no wait that would offend temp workers. . . maybe swappable storage medium readers. naw, that would offend the "special people" and "indigo children" that can't read. . .. Screw it, floppies aren't used much anymore. Call them Legacies of non-PC PC's

I never did like the power supply or the power switch. Too authoritarian.

Motherboard implies slavement of womyn, because it just has to sit there doing what all the cards tell it to do.

I don't like sound cards either, because the deaf. .er. . hearing imparired. . .er. . hearingly challenged might get offended that other people can hear sounds.

What the hell are all these white papers coming out of Microsoft? Are they with the KKK or something?

i think we should change the connectors on soundcards from miniplug to RCA, because the miniplug might offend height-impared people.




PC is such total ultra-moronic horseshit.

So I guess calling my drive configs whitey and nigger are wrong? *

This is just too stupid. We need to make Californians take a PC test and all those who fail(meaning they're not PC) are allowed to stay in the USA. Then we saw Cali off the mainland let them have a sovereign nation of people with poles stuck up their asses. I really wonder what the hell ppl like this are thinking.


*this is a joke btw.

yes, but 90% of all PC crap comes from Cali. I feel bad for those of you that have to actually put up with this while the rest of us point and laugh....and dread the time it comes to our part of the country. Like smoking bans...they just started that in florida after following Cali's lead. I'm amazed you can even have any lives there....doesn't breathing offend someone?

What I want to know is if all BIOS manufacturers are gonna change all BIOS chips to reflect this new "idea". and I Maxtor and WD gonna redo all their manuals and HDD Jumper patterns to reflect this? so much wasted money and guess who's gonna pay for this? You guessed it.

oh and guys don't forget to save your IDE drive manuals. They've now become a piece of sociological history.

They should make hard drives with and without the master and slave labels, but the items with the politically correct labels should cost twice as much. That way, the PC idiots are pissed, and that's what we all want, right?

Most of the manufactures are north in the bay area and this is only about selling HD's to the county itself.

Still does not excuse how stupid it is but at least the most it will effect us is the time we spend laughing at how stupid it is here.

Sounds like a plan to me. But then the PC idiots would file some PC lawsuit about being excluded, and because of Johnny Cockrane and the Wookie Defense they'd win, and prices would hike and hike in reply to all this PCism. Needless to say it's a waste of a lot of peoples time.

What terms should be used?? Domimant and submissive? Hmmm... There's an idea. And may bring in a whole new group of people who may not have found computers otherwise.

And how about other offensive term? RAM... ROM... PEEK... POKE... SCSI ("It sounds strange, so MUST be rude")... Plug in.

I think we should call the Master drives cracka, and the Slave drives nigger. Maybe we could start calling the slave drives Jew and the Masters Catholic. How about calling the Masters working men and the slaves housewives. I can't believe how far some people are willing to take this Political Correctness bullshit. The devices are named that way because it made the most sense at the time to whomever named it.
