|
adj. Usable, but only just so; not very robust; for internal use only. Said
|
|
|
|
|
of a program or device. Often connotes that the thing will be made more
|
|
|
|
|
solid Real Soon Now. This term comes from the ensemble name of the original
|
|
|
|
|
cast of Saturday Night Live , the Not Ready for Prime Time Players. It has
|
|
|
|
|
extra flavor for hackers because of the special (though now
|
|
|
|
|
semi-obsolescent) meaning of prime time. Compare beta.
