fuzzyfruit already said pretty much what I was thinking.
In other "you're kidding, right?" news: MPAA, RIAA seek permanent antitrust exemption. Orrin Hatch says they need the exemption because of "market realities". Riiiiight.
You people have just gone completely around the bend.
LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Los Angeles officials have asked that manufacturers, suppliers and contractors stop using the terms "master" and "slave" on computer equipment, saying such terms are unacceptable and offensive.
The request -- which has some suppliers furious and others busy re-labeling components -- came after an unidentified worker spotted a videotape machine carrying devices labeled "master" and "slave" and filed a discrimination complaint with the county's Office of Affirmative Action Compliance.

Interestingly, in the article they mention that Mr. Hatch had previously not been a very big fan of the organizations in question once he started having to deal with them as a songwriter. Wonder what exactly it took for him to change his mind?
