I really can't believe that people can be so stupid and shallow. Rolling Eyes

The terms "master" and "slave" are used frequently throughout the hi-tech world to describe a configuration in which one piece of hardware controls another.

How about 'pimp' and 'bitch'?

What about with IDE devices, you have Primary Masters and Slaves, and Secondary Masters and Slaves.

That'll be the Primary Primary and Primary Secondary along with Secondary Primary and Secondary Secondary then!

Confusing!

I hate political correctness.
All the apprentices at the place I work are between 16 and 18, white, and male. We have a portakabin just outside the training centre and no-one other than us lot ever goes in there, and yet we are not allowed to put up a St Georges Cross or Union Jack because it could offend people that aren't British/English!!

The even worse thing - we used to have a spare locker in said portakabin which had its lock missing. Each day we would rip out page 3 from the Sun and stick it up inside this locker. Now we have been forced to take all that down, because it is degrading and could offend people!!
WE ARE ALL TEENAGE LADS!!! We don't get offended by scarcely dressed females!

Grrrrrr thats the end of my rant (for a few minutes)

You would be surprised! From certain things that I have seen from a certain person (mentioning no names here). Teenagers who live in Shrewsbury are scared of good looking ladies who are scarcely clothed, I went to the NEC with one and he kept running away from them. Like I said, mentioning no names Wink
