So you don't like the layout in blocks of your current disk drive either...

Nice exaggeration

I want each byte to include a length specifier so I can have variable size and capability tickets with timeouts per byte. I resent the rigid 8 bit byte paradigm enforced upon me by hardware manufacturers.

The difference between hardware enforced block size and hardware enforced security, object layout, capability tickets, and all the other cruft that goes with it is obvious to most people. If you don't see it, you shouldn't be wasting your time reading news from a Linux web site, which places a premium on cognitive capability.
