Daemon = Chiefly British, a variant of Demon.

In computer science Daemon = A program or process that sits idly in the background until it is invoked to perform its task.
<offtopic>Sorry, off topic, me and my OCD with words. Daemon, as used in this book, follows the definition in the American Heritage Dictionary, that is, a mythical inferior deity, such as a deified hero, or an attendant spirit; a genius. The distinction is important, as most Christian types will have a certain image of Satan on her shoulder</offtopic>
