person, or institution is sufficiently maldesigned as to be
not worth the bother of dealing with. Unlike the adjectives
in the cretinous, { losing}, { brain- damaged} series, " evil"
does not imply incompetence or bad design, but rather a set of
goals or design criteria fatally incompatible with the
speaker' s. This usage is more an aesthetic and engineering
judgment than a moral one in the mainstream sense. " We
thought about adding a { Blue Glue} interface but decided it
was too evil to deal with." "{ TECO} is neat, but it can be
pretty evil if you' re prone to typos." Often pronounced with
the first syllable lengthened, as / eeee' vil/.
Compare { evil and rude}.
