From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]: | |
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'. | |
From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]: | |
Evil Empire n. [from Ronald Reagan's famous characterization of the communist Soviet Union] Formerly {IBM}, now Microsoft. Functionally, the company most hackers love to hate at any given time. Hackers like to see themselves as romantic rebels against the Evil Empire, and frequently adopt this role to the point of ascribing rather more power and malice to the Empire than it actually has. See also {Borg} and search for Evil Empire (http://pages.prodigy.net/rkusnery/amsind.html) pages on the Web. | |

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]: | |
Evil-merodach Merodach's man, the son and successor of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon (2 Kings 25:27; Jer. 52:31, 34). He seems to have reigned but two years (B.C. 562-560). Influenced probably by Daniel, he showed kindness to Jehoiachin, who had been a prisoner in Babylon for thirty-seven years. He released him, and "spoke kindly to him." He was murdered by Nergal-sharezer=Neriglissar, his brother-in-law, who succeeded him (Jer. 39:3, 13). | |
From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]: | |
