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 DIP switches, and which
should be work as soon as it is inserted in the PC. Unfortunately,
even the PCI bus is not up to pulling this off reliably, and people
who have to do installation or troubleshoot PCs soon find themselves
longing for the DIP switches.
