SUKKAH DEPOT! YOUR ONE STOP FOR SUKKOT AND (something else beginning with an S I forget.)
Simchat Torah? It comes at the end of Sukkot.
You will not be surprised to hear that there is no Sukkah Depot in the Carolinas.
Everyone's getting spanked but me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Punishingly Intricate
hey Techie types, I was just told to come up with an alternate term for Master/Slave (for some documents we worked on for months and just published last week...grrrr). All I can find (in an admittedly brief search) was stuff about the controversy of coming up with alternate terms for Master/Slave. Lots of outraged programmers or whatever decrying political correctness. I couldn't find any actual suggestions for alternatives. It's very frustrating. Does anybody have any ideas?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
although I honestly pity "true" conservatives who support Bush only because of the possibility of setting the next generations's Court agenda and were royally fucked by this.
I can't say as I do. I find the nomination a bit baffling however because I can't see what the political gain is for Bush.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Dom/sub? Master/Apprentice?
Yeah, I've heard about the controvesy - I can't come up with anything either.
Somepeople don't like the term 'motherboard' either.

Aren't the two controllers on a typical Intel system called primary and seconday? (And each controller then can have a master and a slave drive.)
eta: Yes, above is correct.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I need to roll my eyes at the controversy, myself.

There. I feel a little better now. Can't you just call them primary/secondary? I know I've seen that before.

That would possibly be confusing, with a primary and secondary controller each having a primary and secondary drive.

tommy, WhatIs says:
In computer networking, master/slave is a model for a communication protocol in which one device or process (known as the master) controls one or more other devices or processes (known as slaves). Once the master/slave relationship is established, the direction of control is always from the master to the slave(s). The County of Los Angeles, saying the term master/slave may be offensive to some of its residents, has asked equipment manufacturers not to use the term. Some manufacturers prefer the term primary/secondary.
So it may be acceptable usage.
