A new term for the programmers' lexicon

tlode@nyx.net (the tree by the river)
the treehouse ( http://www.trygve.com )
(original, smirk, computers)

Several years back, I coined a term in the genre of hardware, software, vaporware, and so on...which I have had far more occasions to use since than I would have liked: 

    Vampireware; n, a project capable of sucking the lifeblood out  
                 of anyone unfortunate enough to be assigned to it  
                 which never actually sees the light of day, but  
                 nonetheless refuses to die.
