CNN doesn't think its a joke. http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/ptech/11/26/master.term.reut/index.html I still do... its just funnier that its true. -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Lambert [mailto:rlambert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2003 6:16 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: OT : Humor or warning? It was meant as a joke. I think Bush is a great President, and although he receives a lot of criticism I couldn't do it any better. I do, however, think people are very oversensitive these days to very trivial things. The whole Master/Slave debate is a perfect example. People can get away with suing for anything, so they'll always nitpick to find a reason. I'm a bit surprised that the memo originated out of California, though... maybe Ohio or something, but not California... ;-) -----Original Message----- From: Matt Kosht [mailto:matt.kosht@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2003 9:57 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: OT : Humor or warning? I don't agree with that statement. The memo was derived in California. Nuff said. >>> rlambert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 11/25/03 1:44 PM >>> This will never go anywhere. Like Jim said, our country is run by idiots. The three most powerful men in this country are pronounced Bush, Dick, and Colin. 'Nuff said. :) -----Original Message----- From: Jason Patten [mailto:pattenj@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2003 1:31 PM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Re: OT : Humor or warning? Just be warned. There are even arguments that the naming of connectors as Male or female is offensive and needs to be changed 670,616,629 mph.

Humor, even if it is a warning. This guy needs beat with a clue-by-four. Hope nobody ever mentions the amount of pins you have to stick in some slaves just to get them to work. Might get taken to court for assault. :-) -----Original Message----- From: Jason Patten [mailto:pattenj@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2003 1:06 PM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] OT : Humor or warning? Subject: IDENTIFICATION OF EQUIPMENT SOLD TO LA COUNTY Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2003 14:21:16 -0800 From: "Los Angeles County" The County of Los Angeles actively promotes and is committed to ensure a work environment that is free from any discriminatory influence be it actual or perceived. As such, it is the County's expectation that our manufacturers, suppliers and contractors make a concentrated effort to ensure that any equipment, supplies or services that are provided to County departments do not possess or portray an image that may be construed as offensive or defamatory in nature. One such recent example included the manufacturer's labeling of equipment where the words "Master/Slave" appeared to identify the primary and secondary sources. Based on the cultural diversity and sensitivity of Los Angeles County, this is not an acceptable identification label. We would request that each manufacturer, supplier and contractor review, identify and remove/change any identification or labeling of equipment or components thereof that could be interpreted as discriminatory or offensive in nature before such equipment is sold or otherwise provided to any County department. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and assistance. Joe Sandoval, Division Manager Purchasing and Contract Services Internal Services Department County of Los Angeles 670,616,629 mph. Its not just a good idea, its the law. ******************************************************** This Week's Sponsor - ThinPrint .Print Server Engine Thinprint can help you save money, protect resources, simplify administration, save time and increase flexibility by solving all of your printing needs. http://www.thinprint.com ********************************************************** Useful Thin Client Computing Links are available at: http://thethin.net/links.cfm Domains currently for sale by The Kenzig Group http://www.kenzig.com/serv01.htm New Site: Free Weblogs!
