Notes on  EVIL AND RUDE 

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'.
