“Scheduled to run for three weeks, the Massive Multiplayer Online Wargame Leveraging the Internet (MMOWGLI) exercise will recruit online players from across the government to suggest ways of combating piracy off the coast of Somalia. “

I don’t know if online gaming falls in the Tech Ping world, but if it does, ping.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure how to deal with this problem. They should hire me as a consultant. I’ll charge the military $10,000 for a five minute PowerPoint presentation on how to do it. I’d then charge them $50,000 to show them by example how to do it for cruise in Somali waters that are infested with Muzzies on the sea.
Our military has turned into a bunch of panty-waisted, metrosexual, do-nothings that can’t even effectively fight a group of Muzzies in stolen boats and skiffs.
Not very hard. Start stocking your boats with marines. Also, issue letters of marque for pirate heads. Questions?
