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 The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   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".

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]:
   Evil-merodach, the fool of Merodach; the fool grinds bitterly
