Offensive jargon?
For a computer user, this story is quite funny:
Technology firms supplying Los Angeles County with hardware have been asked to avoid using the words "master" and "slave" to describe their products.but this bit at the end is the highlight:
Within LA County an exhaustive search has been mounted to find all equipment labelled with the offending descriptions.In many cases the labels have been replaced or taped over with others reading "primary" and "secondary".
So does this mean that the master device on the secondary IDE channel is being labelled the primary device on the secondary channel, not to be mixed with the secondary device on the primary channel?
