Bloody technophobic bureaucratic morons.

We know. We know.

Yeah! let's stand against hardware discrimination!!!
Really...

I've never forgotten that one about the... was he a Catholic? Anyway, he phoned up tech support but stopped the guy from using the word 'icon' since icons are blasphemous...
-
Further proof California is full of idiots...

Careful, don't angry up the Governator
It's no good, I need a sandwich

When did we reach a point where stupid peoples opinions were deemed valid enough to make the news?

Well... don't get me started on this one.. LOL.. :D
-
To quote dilbert: When did ignorance become a point of view?
-
Political correctness strikes again....
i mean, what else are they gonna call them?
observe:
Master = Da Pimp
Slave = Da *****
-
Primary and Secondary most likely.
But wait, that still gives one drive superiority over the other one.

BTW what's that quote about stupid people by Einstien? It's perfect in this situation but I can't remember the wording.

So we can expect all future IDE configs to be referred as "Primary Primary Drive" and "Primary Secondary Drive"?
:sigh:
-
this is bad, this is evil....

no - that's discriminatory against numbers.
In fact, in order to both ensure equal rights and ease the burden of school costs in california, all numbers are to be considered equal. This move will also held the Governor balance the budget.
-
Well this one has to join the call I once heard to ban the word blackmail for being racist.

the only constant on earth is human stupidity..
-
And my overwhelming superiority.
-
...To those who aren't me. Or those I deem something near equals of myself.
Anyway. This is really old news, and didn't come as a surprise anyway. Everyone's heard about the guy who lost his job for saying the word "niggardly" and using it correctly- the country's in ****ing denial. It's hilarious, really.

Would you rather have you drives labeled "Pimp daddy" and "ho"?

Absolutely.
"To complete installation, insert your ho into the empty slot - provided the slot is not occupied by a pimp daddy or another ho. Otherwise, remove the existing ho or find a new space. Once your ho is in position, insert firmly into the slot and screw."

[color=66ff00]This actually reminds me of the US state that passed a law decreeing pi to be 3.0, it was changed back quickly.
You should have a minimum IQ before being let into any form of government.

I can hear the Uni technical help requests now...
"Uh, I'm in lab m614 and my pimp won't accept my ho, do you have another ho I could use?"

Wherease at present it's a maximum limit.
On the other hand, I think we should send a counter proposal to California asking to rename the drive designations to 'pimp' & 'ho'. This could be extended to all computer technology. i.e. motherboard becomes 'hot momma' and soforth.
Edit - oh, and replace the word 'configure' with '*****slap'. And also replace all technical terms remaining with 'thingie' or 'thingybob'.

More accurate terminology would be "kick the **** out of", though.

Look at it this way the more stupid they are the better other people look. :D
Plus stupid people are funny. :lol:

(Warning Highjacking this thread with my boxcutter)
Just make sure you people keep you political "correctness" to hardware and out of modding...
"I'm sorry sir but I had to write to you in regards of your offensive mod. Your constant use of the term 'fish heads' is very anti-Vasudan (as defined by the VADL, Vasudan Anti-Deformation League). In addition, (ect...)"
More serious note I am glad to see that the spirit of Leiji matsomoto is alive in the new english dubbed movie, they even have one line where Zero tells Harlock "Your so full of Sh*T!" :lol:
As for any of my future projects if you care about political correctness or Disneyfying it (watering it down and making it cute and fuzzy) then don't play them. I am an adult who is intending on targeting an adult players (so appropriate warnings wil be posted). I am not going all Hentai or for X ratings, but solid R like any good major action movie, the kind I enjoy to watch...
Thoughts?

Thoughts that don't run something like "Holy hell, you're a nerd"? No, not really. Except for something about a mushroom omlette.
Mm. Omlettes.

We already had a swearing thread. Those who could cope with rude words outnumbered those who couldn't, IIRC.

Reminds me of a keychain I saw once:
"Stupid people shouldn't reproduce"
I vote for castration of everyone below a certain IQ.

Considering the extents to which the imbeciles have managed to control life these days, I'd say the smart people can't be all that bright, either.

I think I'm safe, I have two IDE controllers in my PC so all my drives are Masters and are thus equal :D

It would have been at least funny if they'd made it Master and Padawan or summat

What's next? Striking Master and Slave from the Dictionary because they offend people? :blah:

[color=66ff00]That might not be such a bad thing.. think about it: Eventually the stupid americans will remove almost every single english word for some reason and then they'll be unintellegable to the rest of america and the world for that matter. Smashing!

What, more unintelligable?
:p

At the rate we're going, I think we invent more words than we ban, though. Still unintelligible, but it'll take a few thousand years to really thoroughly obliterate the language, and at that point everyone'll be speaking something new and funky, anyway. Probably the language of our Martian overlords.

Uuuulaaaah!

Meh, it's not aliens. It's simply BIG Brother... remember 1984? I think they had Newspeak version 6.0 (or was it 9.5?)...
First they edit our language, then it will be our thoughts (though police). [He was thinking the forbidden words officier! I clearly 'Heard' him think "master/Slave"] :lol:
In a nutshell - "Bite me!" (not you Carl, this is a Human non-literal phrase) Words exist fro a reason. To ban a word is insane (even teh N word, which I hear used constantly by those who should be offended the MOST? Way to take ownage guys and make it your instead of teh other way around)... Know what I mean?

In your world, everything in the Universe relates directly back to whatever deranged thought you're having at the moment, doesn't it?

Speaking of insults. I called my friend a juicy wanker in the middle of a game of Halo.
It took a full five minutes for play to resume.

I like that one. It sounds so... ambiguously filthy.

It came out of nowhere and it was one of those situations where it kinda took a second to register what had been said for the both of us before turning to look at each other and just laughing.
I save it for special occasions, I'm trying hard to not let it become a regular swear word in case it loses its magic.

Now, the tricky bit is to get really good at flying off with those paragraph-long strings of expletives without having to stop and think partway through.

Give me a couple of drinks and a Bong and I am undoubtedly the master of tourettes-inspired streams of filth, I once managed a thirty second stream of almost completely invented (and inventive) swear words. My swearing vocabulary is huge, mostly through living on a lower class housing estate, working in a factory and generally associating with scum (though the best scum you're ever likely to meet :) ) and contrary to what your parents tell you, swearing IS big, hard(arf!) and it most definitely clever.

My swearing is pretty accomplished, which is handy since I want to join the Navy. No doubt that will improve my abilites still further.

/me is afraid.
at lesat linux is safe, ext3 or ext2 can't be called offensive.

Sure it can. I'm an introvert. I object to the underrepresentation of my psychological profile in the abbreviations used by Linux!
