Would someone in here offend me? Please?

I'm feeling lucky tonight, but yet I'm still to cheap to buy a lottery ticket.

We could change the labels to "lord" and "serf" but we might offend someone with ancestors in King Arthur's time.

What will they sue for next...?

Wait until the Federales get ahold of this one and legislate... All of those PC's on recall, and if you are a registered owner of a device; provide proof that the offending marks were removed. If you can't, then you get a 20 yr mandatory jail sentence.

Just look what our world is coming to. I can't believe a person is offended by innocent words like that.

I don't know; I just can't seem to primary all this PC bovine scatology. I guess I'll just have to secondary away till it starts to come to me.

I wanted to reply to this, but everything I tried to write sounded bad, so I gave up.

My thoughts are tending toward racist because of the stupidity of some. I wish that we could all say enough, and get on together -life is too precious to ruin with all this PC crap.. (oh dear, theo said a bad word.)

That has got to be the most rediculous thing I have ever heard of! Where will it stop? Will we have to refer to the "Master" switch in a 3-way switch and the "Primary" and the "slave" switch as "secondary?" What a crock!

But, here's the kicker. You can't use the Primary/Secondary/Tertiary terms, they're taken. In a rendundant processing environment (more than 1 system processing the same information for the sake of emergency readiness and error tracking), the system that is currently communcating with the network is the Primary, whereas the Secondary typically either recieves the data from the primary system, or off of the network without responding. This is not a Master/Slave relationship, since the Primary system has no control over the Secondary..

Gee, that was excessive, now, wasn't it. Can ya tell what I do for a living?
