It starts by reading the TFA.

After which you'll wish that you didn't read the TFA.

Certainly not something for those who are even the slightest bit claustrophobic to attempt.

But it kinda lost its appeal when people moved from using revolvers to playing it with a semi-automatic pistol with a single bullet in the magazine.

Because if you read First Barbary War you learn that the expeditionary force consisted of 8 Marines and 500 local mercenaries. Given that the US navy was only about 7 years old at the time, I doubt that they had the ships available to transport all those people.

I know I'll probably be moderated into the dark depths for being a troll, but there is a certain irony in this history.

So your solution to extremists boasting about what they dream they could do, is to do something tangible that will piss off said extremists and give them grounds to point the finger at the west and say "See, they are a bunch of infidels that deserve what they get!". Which will do no less more than to push more people into extremism.

Have you ever heard of a positive feedback loop? Because that is what you are suggesting for "solving" the problem of terrorists.

OK .. simple question for you then. Given your position that red light cameras are simply a money grab, and do not do any good (something that I dispute, but is beside the point), what is your solution for controlling all the people who run red lights? I am regularly at a traffic light, watch it turn green, and then see some idiot fly though against the red well and truly after the light has changed. These people need to be "educated" about the dangers of their actions, and short of a T-bone accident I can see nothing other than a camera system to teach them.

So what is your alternate solution?

If anything, the technology behind Superfish is Israeli

I have known people in the warez scene who would beg to differ with you. They seemed to have pride in how many cracked software titles they had, regardless of whether or not they actually had any use for them.

So how I do trust that:

1. This tool will do as it says
2. You won't repeat the process in the future?

The trust with Lenovo has been broken and I can't see what they can ever do in order to restore it.

Roll up, roll up,
See the former champion fight the young contender!
Who will consume who?
Will Microsoft wipe out SystemD?
Or will "the Borg" finally meet its match?

It could have been the Asterix malware. That shit doesn't just spy on you, it beats the crap out of of you - and then has a nice feast to celebrate!

There is a huge assumption implicit in this question - the browser that you use.

Not all of those plugins are available for all browsers. And any recommended plugin really needs to identify the ecosystem that it works in.

1. Document the number of hours lost in a week for version control issues by your wife. Ensure that your data is representative of several weeks worth of work
2. Extrapolate this value by the number of people in the company and the number of weeks worked per year
3. Multiple this by the average hourly cost of these workers (the gross value to the company, not the net value paid to the workers)
4. Write a report that documents the $$$ lost to the company due to bad business practices. Include in that report a survey of possible technological and social solutions to the problem and document their estimated cost to the company.
5. Make a presentation to the CFO and CTO explaining how you can save the company big $$$
6. If the CFO and CTO care about the lost $$$, they will create a new project number that you can bill to in order map out the preferred solutions in your report
7. Implement your preferred solution for a small group and measure how much it costs the company in real $$ in order to implement this pilot project
8. Write a new report to the CFO and CTO documenting your findings, and make a report
9. Sit back and wait for the CFO and CTO to argue where in the next budget the money for your solution will come from, versus doing nothing and simply wasting money that has already been allocated.

What do you mean you don't work for you wife's company?
 

Oh, that is easily answered!

Step 1. Start with the pool of tech workers who have been displaced by the oversubscription of H1-B visa workers (The Pacific NW will be a great place to start!)

Step 2. Sign them up with brand new car ride-share service Druber (Drones R our Uber!) (that is, all the ones who own cars, and not those hipsters who eschew the Modern American Car)

Step 3. Using a new social networking App (DroneDrivers!), they check in at the automated, drone based delivery service's warehouse. (Let's call it DroneToHome!)

Step 4. When you order your bag of potato chips (baked of course, in olive oil, and only lightly salted), online, through the PCWS (Potato Chip Webservice), using DroneDrivers, it pings the all the Druber driver's nearest to the DroneToHome warehouse.

Step 5. Through a process of consensus, all but one of the Druber drivers decides that the proposed job is not worth their time. The remaining driver rocks up to the DroneToHome drive-through and and is handed a remote control to a drone. While this occurring, some minimum wage monkeys (formally wanna be rockstar programmers from defunct start ups) release the Kraken^W drone (that carries your potato chips) from the roof of the warehouse.

Step 6. The Druber driver then takes control of the drone, and simultaneously drives towards your house, while piloting the drone. This is achieved through the use of a special VR headset that overlays the flightpath of the drone on the surrounding view of the road, combined with a leftover Nintendo power glove that the Druber driver uses to punch virtual controls that only he/her can see in his/her field of vision[1]. The headset also incorporates a live camera feed from the drone. That camera feed also has a virtual map overlaid on the video that shows the route that the driver must take [2].

Step 7. When the Druber driver finally reaches your home, he simply flies the drone to your cat door, lands it, and in a transformer like way, converts it into a walking style robot that pushes through the cat door and makes its way to your couch!

Thus by outlawing non-direct view drone flights, the FAA has enabled at least (at least I tell you) 3 different startup opportunities!!! [3]:

1. Druber - Drones R our Uber delivery service!
2. DroneDrivers - Find the right person to drive your drone delivery!
3. DroneToHome - The only way to fly (your packages)

Notes:

[1] This step is predicated on the fact that no-one has yet outlawed flying drones while driving.

[2] A couple of months ago I was watching the NOVA program on landslides (Killer Landslides) and one fascinating part of it was film from inside a rescue chopper that showed a display in the chopper that has a live feed of the terrain overlaid with graphics showing where the roads were meant to be.

[3] Will provide future workers for Step 5.
