  Don't even joke about Unix "security". The hacks in Jersey thought it was just faster to pack 10 bits into a PDP word, than to implement a decent permission system, an example of which already existed: http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2007/09/the_multics_ope.html http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2007/09/the_multics_op... (read the linked PDF; linking to Bruce as sort of "peer review" and "don't take my word for it")

    When you write a language and an operating system that both endure for more than 30 years; across numerous hardware platforms; emulated and rewritten dozens of times; becoming the fundamental underpinning and architecture of the greatest information network in the history of mankind, sparking a global cultural and technological revolution; Then you can call the guys from Jersey "hacks".
