The phrase comes from Dirty Harry (Clint Eastwood) and it reflects that desperate measures with almost Zero success probability are taken. Most people reading were not born when the phrase was very commonly used.

In rare cases an appliance contractor found himself in a bind. A combination of hardware and software errors that were to rare to be caught or could not get around. The solution was to switch to more expensive hardware and hope for the best. While switching to more expensive hardware the previous hardware was running with Op(erational) Code Analysis that can in simple cases show both software and hardware errors. Shure these are great tools for simple cases:

When you saw somebody in this type of trouble the rhetorical question was: "Do you feel lucky punk?"
