rude

   1. (of a program) Badly written.

   2.  Functionally  poor, e.g., a program that is very difficult to use
   because  of  gratuitously  poor  (random?)  design  decisions. Oppose
   {cuspy}.

   3. Anything that manipulates a shared resource without regard for its
   other  users  in  such  a  way  as  to  cause  a (non-fatal) problem.
   Examples:  programs  that  change tty modes without resetting them on
   exit,  or  windowing programs that keep forcing themselves to the top
   of the window stack.
