I'm really tempted not to believe this. The bloke saw a load of devices marked "master" and "slave"? Buh? Since when has anyone specified whether they want a master or slave drive when buying a hard disk?
Even if we're talking about pre-assembled computers, the number of them with two hard drives must surely be less than 1%.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Well every drive has the labels on them - for pin-location.. but still !!!
This is rediculous...
So the color black will no longer be black - it will be SHADE or the Color Dark-Absense-of-light!
The shade of white will not be white anymore - it will be the color BRIGHT or Opposite-of-the-dark-absense-of-light !!
The color yellow won't be yellow anymore - because we don't wanna insult the asian community - so it will become the color Green-minus-blue!
C'MON PEOPLE WAKE UP!!! *shakes head*
When are people gonna stop equating everything to slavery -- In the industry - the drives are label correctly -- one is a master drive - which a motherboard sees and uses first as a system drive - the other is a slave - and by it's very definitions - these labels are correct... LIVE WITH IT ALREADY!!!! It has NOTHING TO DO WITH GODDAMNED SLAVERY IN THE 30'S 40'S AND 50'S AND 60'S FOR CRIPES SAKES... quit turning it into a some fricken political nonsense...
*fans self* ok.. i'm ok .. phew.. that's my vent...

It's this very kind of thing that made start filling in the "race" field on applcations and whatnot with the term "European American".
Never been to Europe. Have no idea when my ancestors came over. But I'll be damned if I'm not going to make a stink for being called white.

Yes, as equals with EQUAL hardware rights! Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of drive segregation to the sunlit path of interfacial justice! B)

Mucus: Tsk. I really should have checked there first, shouldn't I?
Still, er, aren't we all getting just a teensy weensy worked up over this? Does it really affect you one way or the other?

it begs the question: What's next PsyLiam..? at what point are people gonna stop crying foul because Crayola puts the word "Black" on one of its crayons ...
A woman here at work suggested I was being racist because I saw a jar of hot-pepper-sauce on the kitchen counter here at work - and it had chinese writing on it. I asked her what it said - and that the very suggestion that i THOUGHT that she could read it was racist..... That just cuz she looks asian - doesn't mean she knows how to read ALL of the asian languages... And how do i know she can read it? Maybe she couldn't.. and if she couldn't - then it could be viewed as racist! I asked.. Can you read it?? and she said yes... and i said... well then - how am I a racist.. Just tell me if you can or can't.. and if you can't.. then fine !!!!
