plug-and-pray
|
|
|
|
adj.,vi. Parody of the techspeak term plug-and-play , describing a PC
|
|
peripheral card which is claimed to have no need for hardware configuration
|
|
via jumpers or DIP switches, and which should work as soon as it is inserted
|
|
in the PC. Unfortunately, even the PCI bus is all too often not up to
|
|
pulling this off reliably, and people who have to do installation or
|
|
troubleshoot PCs soon find themselves longing for the jumpers and switches.
