Sit down all the sysadmins and techs on one long bench. Measure the amount of, erm, 'parking room' needed. Do this at the beginning and end of the test period.
This 'parking room' should increase as they become more efficient, automate more processes, and get off their buns less often.
The same method can be used to downsize the department as efficiencies grow; after a while, they'll have less and less room on the bench. Kind of like musical chairs.*
Note: This could have been written in the '1. 2. 3. Profit!' form, but I was too lazy.
*Except the skinniest one would be squeezed out by the 'most efficient'. Evolution inaction.

Slow Bluetooth on Blackberry? Who greenlighted this decision? This makes me see red.
If they ever catch the yellow, lily-livered blackguard, I hope they give him a pink slip.

Orange you glad I stopped after two lines?
I'm guessing the name might come from the 1960's Peter Sellers movie, 'The Party'. Sellers played a fish-out-of-water Indian actor at a Hollywood party. It was a line he gave when he met his cowboy movie idol "Wild Bill" Kelso.
Another question: Do we really want this in the hands of the defense department? There would be even less qualms about sending people into harms' way if something like this were in their medicine cabinet.
So the poster is the crank... I'm supposed to knock down some guy's theories in a frivolous way, with him reading it? No way, man. Too much pressure.
Besides, taking this theory down is too easy to do. Reduce the water temperature of the oceans? Give me a break! There just isn't an ice cube tray big enough for the job. Materials science has a looong way to go before that puppy gets born.
And who's going to crack the sucker when it's out of the fridge? And what about the FRIDGE? Huh???
"Does anyone else see the opportunity for abuse with this?" - and how.
Especially if it has graphics. Put on an animated 'Boobies' tag, and you can guarantee which of the multiple links get clicked on. Sort of the operating principle behind Fark dot com...
I can see the criminal element drooling as they think of the possibilites:
1. Create a phishing site;
2. Target the small (but growing!) market segment that has a) Firefox, and b) enough interest in PMWiki sites to install the plugin;
3. Prof-- er, no. Wait.

Imagine a Beowulf clu... no, I can't squint that hard.
"There's no part of that sentence I didn't like!"
...which sysadmins will promptly rename as "God Damn Patch Aggravation".
Oh, great. So Winnipeg will be left out, again...

Excuse me.
Oh no, wait...

And don't think they wouldn't; they're quite willing to try and force potentially harmful vaccinations and other dubious treatments on their own personnel. Oh, and if something goes wrong, the drug company needn't worry - they probably won't be held accountable.
This drug definitely has a downside.
So how will they calculate the parity qubits?
Put the Philip K. Dick book DOWN, and step AWAY from the keyboard. NOW.
Make it difficult, why don't you?
