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.

Humerous proposal in RFC3514 to make life easy for firewalls by setting a TCP packet bit to indicate if it was transmitted by an evil entity. "If the bit is set to 1, the packet has evil intent". It's a satire on how people look for simple technical solutions to what are really complex social problems (the problem of evil on the internet). Also see the XMPP equivalent XEP-0076 "Malicious Stanzas".
