What I don't understand is: You hand this thing to some Aspie who will be spinning it to save his life. And you can't tap just a tiny bit of that rotational energy off to run the electronics?
women will lose the ability to exchange poon for cash in a VC investment deal, making the availability of cash to male entrepreneurs much more even. You don't get males able to bang for investment cash very often.
We should go back to the times when you would have to meet investors and raise venture capital at places like the Bohemian Grove.
It could commit enough encrypted file versions to the repository
You assume that the commit function can be executed by the owner of the files. It could be a cron job, periodically checking stuff in, giving the user time to recognize that the system has been attacked, garbage is being checked in and stop the process.
Or it could use a privilege escalation defect in the sandbox
Much more difficult to do on a real multi-user O/S than something like Windows. And people who can set up multiuser sandboxes and CVS repositories tend not to be tricked into running unknown crap.
How do you plan to save emailed documents to local storage
In the local storage of the account running the e-mail client. The important ones can be copied to the primary account via read-only access granted to the shared group. Same for downloaded files and uploading documents prepared in the primary account.
I've seen people who have taken this a step further and managed moving files between the accounts using CVS or it's siblings. A bit of an overkill IMO. But as long as the owner of the repository doesn't run the ransomware, committed versions of your local files will be available.
Ransomware runs under the credentials of the user that has executed the malware,
So, run your e-mail client in one user account, your browser in another and keep your local work (documents, etc.) in your 'main' user account. Read-only access (via group permissions) between accounts. This is a solution that I've used since before Linux had ACLs.
One additional problem with the perception of size in the USA: Fat has traditionally been equated with power. Particularly in the south and lower class social groups. Look at all the fat stereotypes on TV and the movies, where the town big-shot was usually a lard-ass. Some of this mindset continues today. Particularly in older businesses*, being tall has it's economic advantages. But being fat even more so.
*And even newer industries. There is some truth to the stereotype of the Cheetos-munching s/w developer. And when driving through the Microsoft campus in Redmond, the crosswalks between buildings look downright comical if the light timing is short.

Personally, I'm against people who give vent to their loquacity by extraneous bombastic circumlocution.

In other words, as long as prices do not increase -- or even better, decrease -- there is, by definition, no illegal behavior.

The utilities will have a law passed that mandates a service charge for everyone with utility power available. Even if you don't connect to it.
Problem is most people couldn't cope with a week of outage.
Then you'd better not live in PSE's service territory.
would the PC owner run the repository?
That's the way I've seen it done. Although some have set up a home server to run it and refresh/sync files across several devices.

sexists, racists, and pedophiles. It shouldn't even be on this site.
Yeah. We're full. Bugger off.
Lots of other fat cats would take it's place.

I'm not convinced that they need physical access. From TFS:

'Deploy' might involve other then physical access. Open an e-mailed document with embedded malware for example.

How about making these public corporations (also) invest in education?
They do. They just demand a high return on their investment.
