Balandar Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 From Slashdot.com SlashChick writes "In an interesting twist on political correctness, LA County has banned the use of the terms 'Master/Slave' (commonly used to denote hard drive arrangements.) According to Snopes.com, 'someone within the County bureaucracy... had taken offense at "master/slave" references and complained to the board.' LA County now requires that vendors working with the county remove all 'master/slave' references. Incredible. Read the full story." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ser Brightblade Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Thats the most asinine thing I have ever heard. No wonder our courts are bogged down and our coffers dry....we are paying for this stupidity to be debated. Someone just has too much time on his/her hands methinks.
