A more interesting Gnosis - A Prototype Operating System for the 1990's

For those who might be wondering, this is in reference to the hacker group who recently hacked Gawker.

It's great to see object-capability security being discussed on here! Mark Miller, Ben Laurie, and Mark Lentczner are working on how to apply this 1980s research in a web context at https://sites.google.com/site/belayresearchproject/ under the name "Belay". They're still in early stages...

http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~KeyKOS/ is perhaps also of interest, then.
