|
adj. (often abbreviated BQS ) Term used in a pejorative sense to refer to
|
|
|
|
software that was apparently created by rather spaced-out hackers late at
|
|
|
|
night to solve some unique problem. It usually has nonexistent, incomplete,
|
|
|
|
or incorrect documentation, has been tested on at least two examples, and
|
|
|
|
core dumps when anyone else attempts to use it. This term was frequently
|
|
|
|
applied to early versions of the dbx (1) debugger. See also Berzerkeley.

|
|
Note to British and Commonwealth readers: that's /berklee/ , not /barklee/
|
|
|
|
as in British Received Pronunciation.
