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.
