heres another one for the above list:

It's fool to compile a program to binary and then directly run it on a
hardware, which is then trying to prevent the binary, whose behaviour is
unknown and hardly analizable, to do any harm to the system. Managing all
this trough a central privilegized kernel, which is after all only exists to
try closing all the backdoors opened by this way of running direct CPU code.

ahh, and dont forget to talk about recent FPGA chips and that if you compile
into "cpu design" instead of the instructions of a fixed given cpu then you
can acheeve even 1000x speed with the same number of transistors. and to do
this you need a dynamic tunes like system, and in C or Java you definately
can't even start thinking how to produce "cpu design" from them.

some random toughts again...
