funky
|
|
|
|
adj. Said of something that functions, but in a slightly strange, klugey
|
|
way. It does the job and would be difficult to change, so its obvious
|
|
non-optimality is left alone. Often used to describe interfaces. The more
|
|
bugs something has that nobody has bothered to fix because workarounds are
|
|
easier, the funkier it is. TECO and UUCP are funky. The Intel i860's
|
|
exception handling is extraordinarily funky. Most standards acquire
|
|
funkiness as they age. The new mailer is installed, but is still somewhat
|
|
funky; if it bounces your mail for no reason, try resubmitting it. This UART
|
|
is pretty funky. The data ready line is active-high in interrupt mode and
|
|
active-low in DMA mode.
