      Basically, a half God. Has more powers than a mortal but less than a full-fledged god. All in theory.

                    A hacker with years of experience, a world-wide reputation, and a
                    major role in the development of at least one design, tool, or game used by
                    or known to more than half of the hacker community. To qualify as a
                    genuine demigod, the person must recognizably identify with the hacker
                    community and have helped shape it. Major demigods include Ken Thompson
                    and Dennis Ritchie (co-inventors of Unix and
                    C), Richard M. Stallman (inventor of
                    EMACS), Larry Wall (inventor of
                    Perl), Linus Torvalds (inventor of
                    Linux), and most recently James Gosling (inventor of
                    Java, NeWS, and GOSMACS) and
                    Guido van Rossum (inventor of Python). In their
                    hearts of hearts, most hackers dream of someday becoming demigods
                    themselves, and more than one major software project has been driven to
                    completion by the authors veiled hopes of apotheosis. See also
                    net.god, true-hacker,
                    ubergeek. Since 1995 or so this term has been
                    gradually displaced by ubergeek.
