I was using a webpage with serial and parallel port diagrams etc., and I found it had the following disclaimer :) -Gerry
A Request To The Women of Whole World. Please forgive me for using a word "FEMALE" throughout this pinout pages. Believe me it was necessary to understand the subject better. Anyways it was not my idea. Please do not get any wild ideas from this technical information. Of course the word "FEMALE" on these pages is used only for technical point of view. And yes, biology is not my subject. Thanks for your understanding. I hope matured men will not have any objection with word "MALE". -----Original Message----- From: Scot Mcphee [mailto:scot.mcphee@;tigerex.net] Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 1:33 AM To: JDJList Subject: [jdjlist] Re: JBOSS vs the rest <rant> <no-java> Bell Helicopter things the word "b-i-t-c-h" is sexist (well I *could* be talking about breeding dogs!!!) and censors my email message. Frankly I am not impressed. In fact, it's appalling, and free of all context. Language is *always* context-based. The admin who installed this or manager who forced him to do so (how's that for sexism; assuming the sysadm is male) should be ashamed of themselves. I despise people and institutions who think that all language has to be 'cleaned up', sanitised, reduced to the lowest common denominator, derived of colour, forced into blandishment, turned into politico-speak. It's like you could publish the most horrific piece of racial hatred in the most sanitised language possible, and then object if an interlocutor calls you an "a-hole"!!! Or the way the military likes to avoid the words "kill" and "death". Direct language refuses to hide unpleasant realities. </no-java> If I was working for this company I would make special point to make sure every single variable in my code started with a "4-letter-word". Hmmmm.. and now that it occurs to me what the product of this company is and several of it's uses, I am reminded of a quote from 'Apocalypse Now'; "They train young men to drop fire on people, yet they won't let them paint '(f-word)' on their aeroplanes, because ... it's obscene!" </rant> regs scot.
