hardcoded
hardcoded /adj./ 1. Said of data inserted directly into a
program, where it cannot be easily modified, as opposed to data in
some profile, resource (see de-rezz sense 2), or
environment variable that a user or hacker can easily modify.
2. In C, this is esp. applied to use of a literal instead of a
`#define' macro (see magic number).
