Interesting, however it still smells of a solution looking for a problem. Though the reflex might be to believe that there is no land to grow beef ( or any other meat ), due to factors such as urban sprawl, we have yet to conquer major portions of this earth with city as yet. There is still plenty of land from which to graze. It should not be a surprise, in this day and age of "everything is a potential catastrophe and you should really watch this documentary" has anyone yet mentioned that we might run out of grazing land? Have you seen the desolation which is Idaho which is mostly grazing land?
To get back to the point; We have decommissioned much of the land due to economic factors and increases in efficiency ( really the same ). I believe this kind of solution may be profitable at some point, we are at least 50 years from it, and related technology will have morphed a bit by then - so its really just speculative.
The business side of me suspects they may find it easier to say something like "zero emission pork". Funding will start to flow their way. If they can get to the point where they can claim this, the market will be ready made to the point of charging 3 - 4 times as much as organic meat. People are silly that way. At least those that are middle-middle class to upper-middle class will pay for it. The rest wont care and will buy the 'classic' type.
Wait, I am just brainstorming here... Do you think they can knock off Kobe beef? There might be an angle to this.

I'm not sure why or how the world still spends time listening to or having to listen to Dick Cheney, but he seems to have heart attack over and over. Whatever they have him on, put Steve on immediately.
Because pancreatic cancer and a heart attack are basically the same thing.
Fine. "sudo/bin/bash" then. sudo is simply not a decent general security solution for distrusting your sysadmin. For proper distrust of your sysadmin you should implement "/bin/nologin". Its the only way to be sure.
For someday I hope to rewrite historic pieces to replace "impact" with "effect". In the future, the masses will have enough common decency to forget we ever went down that dark road.
Of course by that time the concerned public will want to change occurances of "redneck" to "monster truck enthusiast" to better reflect their occupation. Some of our contemporary literature will then start with "You might be a monster truck enthusiast if...".
Wow, you sound like and impressively powerful management type who takes no crap off anyone. In fact I think I have heard of you before, Mr. Anonymous Coward.
Not having to care is different from not being able to care. Price a high end MBP with anything of the same specs from Dell and look at the price difference. If you get the same resolution, same CPU, ram, bus speed, HD, battery runtime, your looking at maybe a $100-$200 price difference, and the MBP comes in an aluminum case, higher MTBF, no exposed fan ports.
Purchasing higher quality hardware for a marginally higher price does not, in itself, indicate ignorance. Sometimes it indicates the belief that the value of a machine is not restricted to the quantitative factors but also the qualitative.

Though I did not see any numbers specific to NROL-32, I saw where other satellites in the series were near 6000lbs. There are commercial satellites in operation now with nearly three times that mass, so being "the largest satellite in the world" either means the other stated "largest spy satellite" or more likely the one with the "biggest penis" or "dish" for the layman.
Since your looking for a generic one size fits all kind of solution based on some sort of statistical analysis of slashdot posts, without any real knowledge of what the users requirements are... you should go with a mac pro server with attached raid. Use raid 1 on the server, use raid 6 on the external device and put your data on that. I might catch flame for suggesting this, but if you have no idea what platforms to put where, then your not going to be able to decide how to choose scheduling packages or much of anything else. Going with MAC OS Server allows the choices to have been made for you and you wont be exposed as a fraud. Its always bad when someones kid can out admin you.
As far as the client machines, you really need to talk to the users and find out what they need to use to get the job done. One single misstep here can really ruin your year. If they seem to use windows, then go windows. You don't have the background needed to keep users happy on a platform they are not used to.
Speaking of data, you need to come up with a local and remote backup plan. Offsite backup is critical, dont skip it. Just stick with the server and explain anything not stored on the server will not be backed up remotely. Put external drives on all your client machines and use some full backup software. This is mainly for you to replace the machine when it fails. Also keep a spare client machine in the box for when this happens. With 20 users it will happen probably >1.5 times a year if your using something like Dell. If you end up using windows on the clients, make sure to install some name brand anti-virus on everything, but turn off the local firewall options as long as they are on your local LAN so that you don't have to diagnose network issues all the time. It wont help much, but at least when they install a trojan you will have been perceived as doing your job and the anti-virus package will be to blame.
Never let anyone run an external service exposed to the internet. Keep the clients firmly behind the firewall or bad things will happen, and you probably won't be able to decide whats safe and what isn't.
Once everything is running, dont play around with it or you will trigger disruptions. Remember, as long as the users are happy and you don't lose data, you wont get fired. Not getting fired is your first priority until you get the hang of it. Basically, try to keep things running smooth and have a plan for when things break. In your spare time, test your recovery procedures on test machines.
That should get you through the first few years.
And dont ask crowds like slashdot how to do your job. Your not going to be able to sort through the opinions in a way thats going to help you. We each have a different perspective and a different style and we are all very opinionated for no important reason.
Its not difficult at all with modern megacorps. Based on current average programmer production, and the size of Apples new facility, I am sure it would only take few hundred dedicated programmers 8.3 years to build the comprehensive Eliza you speak of.
This is foolish.
It won't happen due to one constant; The temperature at which people say "ouch!". Whatever power you pack into a handheld device, there will always be a market for 20 of them stuffed in a box cooled by fans or pumps.
They HAVE to lie to you about upgrades, because it's a huge bulletpoint for the iPhone: significant new features for the phone you've already got, for free.
...
There is precisely ZERO money for the manufacturer and the carrier to produce and qualify new firmware for a phone that already has been 'sold' to an end-user.
Besides the contradiction in your interpretation, most corporations are not as naive about business and marketing as you make them out to be. If it were one person, we would say he/she made a mistake, but since its a corporation (many people in a structure of responsibility), they must have done it on purpose?
Not everything they do is with evil intent, sometimes they are just inept.
I do not see this as a big deal, applications lie all the time. I mean when they say "successful" or "completed" do you really believe them without some measure of doubt?
Just because they do it with forethought will not make me distrust them less. Really someone would have to plug in an algorithm for lying. This does not seem very hard. Harder would be making programs that do not have to lie.
The universe was created 6000 years ago too.
