--- Quote from: Kjelt on July 06, 2020, 06:11:45 am ---Yes but I was talking about the media and the people watching or reading the media are not people who are going to look for a perputrator and even when they do it has not much added value of narrowing the fitting group of people from 16 million to 0,8 million, still a needle in an haystack. And if they do they should do it for everyone, they never say white native dutch person, then it is not mentioned. Tv shows that ask the audience to look out for somene and show their picture or drawing is indeed another case where it is usefull to provide as much information. --- End quote --- I agree. When the authorities are looking for a perpetrator, it's important to give a compehensive description: sex, skin/hair/eye colour, ethnicity, accent etc. but once they're found them, that all becomes irrelevant. The only exception is if the crime is believed to be motivated by racism/religion/xenaphobia. |

Are we saying they now suck on placeholders? --- End quote --- Car manufacturers use crash test placeholders to test the safety of their cars, and bookshops are selling new editions of "HTML for Placeholders" and "C for Placeholders" while hams need to replace their dummy loads with placeholder loads for compliance reasons. :-DD |

Replace Master/Slave with primary/standby uhhhhhhhh how does that ever going to work? When a primary device gets no answer from one of its standby devices this standby device is probably in standby mode. |

(so we can keep MOSI/MISO etc intact) |
| TimFox:
"Primary/standby" is not a correct replacement for "Master/slave" in its normal technical usage. |
