evil and rude
adj. Both evil and rude, but with the
additional connotation that the rudeness was due to malice rather
than incompetence. Thus, for example: Microsoft's Windows NT is
evil because it's a competent implementation of a bad design;
it's rude because it's gratuitously incompatible with UNIX in
places where compatibility would have been as easy and effective to
do; but it's evil and rude because the incompatibilities are
apparently there not to fix design bugs in UNIX but rather to lock
hapless customers and developers into the Microsoft way. Hackish
evil and rude is close to the mainstream sense of
`evil'.
