I'll be happy if someone could show me the error of my ways  We'd all be happy to do that. Shall we form a queue? 
'Sir, please,' she said ... 'Will you not share your wisdom with us?'
'I have no wisdom,' he told her.
'Your experiences, then?'
'They have been trivial, uninteresting, and full of error.'

No need for a queue, you're all free to discuss the matter at any time (though not here!).
Just don't expect me to take the slightest bit of notice

Yes. I find this locking down of software rather worrying. Currently you can install "unapproved" applications in Mountain Lion if you really insist, but give it a few more iterations of the OS and I can see it ending up like iOS.
It will be interesting to see if Microsoft follow the same path with their Applications Store. Still, there's always Linux.

give it a few more iterations of the OS and I can see it ending up like iOS. And a few more after that, everything will be in the Cloud and we'll effectively be running dumb terminals...
It could happen

You mean with a single check of a checkbox? The is not "insisting" about and, having seen the scrapes many non-techies get into, the idea that the default security is 'high' is something only a retard would object to.

the idea that the default security is 'high' is something only a retard would object to. Try to avoid the personal insults, Ian, or at least confine them to FC. It's really not necessary.

It wasn't a personal insult. It was an observation about the metal capacity of anyone who thinks low levels of security are a good thing.
