n. [from police slang for a cheap handgun] A quick-and-dirty program or
|
|
|
|
|
feature kluged together during off hours, under a deadline, and in response
|
|
|
|
|
to pressure from a salescritter. Such hacks are dangerously unreliable, but
|
|
|
|
|
all too often sneak into a production release after insufficient review.
