You *have* seen Tron, right?

SELinux would just be so much more aesthetically pleasing if it was just 
named MCP.

Just as the idea is decades old, the idea that it might also end up as a 
convoluted tormentor of 'the users' that gets in the way of actual 
productive achievement is also decades old.

Do you believe in 'the users'?

Of course that movie did look like it was made by a bunch of drug using 
frisbee throwers...
