It's origins maybe be from biblical history, but people now-a-days use the terms "demon" and "demonic" just to mean evil. And they use them alot in video games. But they never end up getting sued, or making them change their monsters names, etc. So I think your anolgies are just plain stupid. As for aborting proccesses, abort has multiple meanings. and why would you name a drive 'slave'? That's just waiting to get you yelled at, or sued. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
