DC Tom Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 http://www.reuters.c...E93M00V20130423 I remember ten years ago, when someone in California got REALLY upset hearing some tech geek refer to a couple of hard drives as the "master" and "slave" drives. California passed legislation prohibiting the perpetuation of slavery and MANDATING that such drives be called "primary' and "secondary" drives. That was the point at which I started calling them "plantation owner" and "cotton picker" drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanM.D. Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 That was the point at which I started calling them "plantation owner" and "cotton picker" drives. Come on now. Everyone gets a trophy in today's society. It's the "A" team drive and the "B" team drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Large Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 "Civil engineering terms such as "man hole" and "man lock," also will not be changed because no common-sense substitutes could easily be found, Thiessen said." This was obviouslty in reponse to pressure from LGBT community Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
