The only time I ever heard the word 'Kluge' was for a jury-rigged, temporary
quick fix for a circuit.
Same here, although usually spelled "kludge."
I subscribe to Kim Komando's tip of the day...
Wow, she's still around, huh?
Yep, she's right here in Phoenix and married to our leading right-wing
radio commentator, Barry Young (KFYI).
I remember listening to her a few times on the
radio and was less-than-impressed when it seemed that any time she didn't
actually know the answer to a tough question regarding some piece of software
or hardware not working, she'd typically fall back on, "Mmm... sounds like it
might be a virus... have you updated your definitions lately?" "Yes? Oh,
well... sometimes you need to try a couple different anti-virus programs,
since each one doesn't catch anything. You might try downloading blah blah
blah..."
[snip]
She's much better now-a-days... must have a staff of a hundred people
who test out everything new.
