Editorial I just spent the last several days reading the lengthy essay "Ying and Yang of Security" which explores the origins of security on the personal computer and explains why the current models are outdated. It seems to argue that security systems designed to keep the system safe are relics of the days of mainframes when the system was more important than the user, but for a personal computer the user is more important than the system.

IOW, beyond a lot of blabla and assumptions, you're not able to provide your sources. Why not post that instead of a long defense?

(And, my source is Frank Hecker, said in 2001, in the movie 'Revolution OS'.)
