1. [generalisation of "Honeywell Brain Damage" (HBD), a
theoretical disease invented to explain certain utter
cretinisms in Honeywell Multics] Obviously wrong; cretinous;
demented.
There is an implication that the person responsible must have
suffered brain damage, because he should have known better.
Calling something brain-damaged is really bad; it also implies
it is unusable, and that its failure to work is due to poor
design rather than some accident. "Only six monocase
characters per file name? Now *that's* brain-damaged!"
2. [especially in the Mac world] May refer to free
demonstration software that has been deliberately crippled in
some way so as not to compete with the commercial product it
is intended to sell. Synonym crippleware.
