/bliv'*t/ [allegedly from a World War II military term meaning
"ten pounds of manure in a five-pound bag"] 1. An intractable
problem.
2. A crucial piece of hardware that can't be fixed or replaced
if it breaks.
3. A tool that has been hacked over by so many incompetent
programmers that it has become an unmaintainable tissue of
hacks.
4. An out-of-control but unkillable development effort.
5. An embarrassing bug that pops up during a customer demo.
6. In the subjargon of computer security specialists, a
denial-of-service attack performed by hogging limited
resources that have no access controls (for example, shared
spool space on a multi-user system).
This term has other meanings in other technical cultures;
among experimental physicists and hardware engineers of
various kinds it seems to mean any random object of unknown
purpose (similar to hackish use of {frob}). It has also been
used to describe an amusing trick-the-eye drawing resembling a
three-pronged fork that appears to depict a three-dimensional
object until one realises that the parts fit together in an
impossible way.
