Los Angeles: master/slave drives are politically incorrect

[Bill in SD, CA]

OVER AT Reason there's a report that Los Angeles, because of its politically correct stance, has sent a letter out to its contractors deeming which and which not terms they use.

It prints a letter purporting to be from an official which rules that manufacturers labelling equipment using the terms Master/Slave is not acceptable identification.

Los Angeles: master/slave drives are politically incorrect

Maybe they should change it to "Husband and Wife."

LAUGH!

a/b or b/a or should it be 1/2 but that would be discriminatory against the 2, so therefore we should make it 1/1... but then you would be confused.

or you could go down to the corner and buy a stolen .45 and a clip and blow that bill off the chair.

I didn't realize computers were so kinky. Are SCSI 'chains' acceptable?
