| slovo | definícia |
crash and burn
(foldoc) | crash and burn
A spectacular crash, in the mode of the conclusion of
the car-chase scene in the movie "Bullitt" and many subsequent
imitators (compare die horribly). A Sun-3 {display
screen} losing the flyback transformer and lightning strikes
on VAX-11/780 backplanes are notable crash and burn
generators.
The construction "crash-and-burn machine" is reported for a
computer used exclusively for alpha or beta testing, or
reproducing bugs (i.e. not for development). The implication
is that it wouldn't be such a disaster if that machine
crashed, since only the testers would be inconvenienced.
