n. [XEROX PARC] A special effect that occurs when certain kinds of memory
|
|
|
|
|
smash es overwrite the control blocks or image memory of a bit-mapped
|
|
|
|
|
display. The term salt and pepper may refer to a different pattern of
|
|
|
|
|
similar origin. Though the term as coined at PARC refers to the result of an
|
|
|
|
|
error, some of the X demos induce plaid-screen effects deliberately as a
|
|
|
|
|
display hack.
