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

Primary and Secondary most likely.

But wait, that still gives one drive superiority over the other one.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

So we can expect all future IDE configs to be referred as "Primary Primary Drive" and "Primary Secondary Drive"?

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.

...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.
Webpage. Yes.
