From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]: | |
demoparty n. [{demoscene}] Aboveground descendant of the {copyparty}, with emphasis shifted away from software piracy and towards {compo}s. Smaller demoparties, for 100 persons or less, are held quite often, sometimes even once a month, and usually last for one to two days. On the other end of the scale, huge demo parties are held once a year (and four of these have grown very large and occur annually - Assembly in Finland, The Party in Denmark, The Gathering in Norway, and NAID somewhere in north America). These parties usually last for three to five days, have room for 3000-5000 people, and have a party network with connection to the internet. | |
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
demo version 1. An early, barely-functional version of a program which can be used for demonstration purposes as long as the operator uses *exactly* the right commands and skirts its numerous bugs, deficiencies, and unimplemented portions. 2. A special version of a finished program (frequently with some features crippled) which is distributed at little or no cost to the user for enticement purposes. See {crippleware}. (1994-11-04) |
