There is nothing worse in travel then being packed into a plane on an international flight. This lucky bunch of passengers got the opportunity to be on a flight from the US to London with only 5 passengers on board.

Written by Doug JaworskiiTWire.com just posted a story titled Got Sleep? CDC says 1 out of 10 Americans are sleep deprived! This story just got slashdoted so it might take time to load. I would bet that that number is a bit low and would probably be one of the 10.
Written by Doug JaworskiI was fortunate to get the opportunity to tour a nearly completed build out of DuPont Fabros (DFT) newest data center located in Elk Grove Village, IL. Overall impression - rock solid design and a great level of detail went into the mechanical design of the facility. While I am not at liberty to disclose details on the design publicly, please feel free to contact me for further information.

Written by Doug JaworskiThe Register, an online technology news site is hosting The Register Green Computing Debate on February 27th and you can sign up here. While I will not be able to attend due to prior commitments, I do intend to listen to a recording of the sessions.
The Register is definitely worth an addition to your news reader.

Increased Hurricane Losses Due to More People,
Wealth Along Coastlines, Not Stronger Storms, New Study Says
A team of scientists have found that the economic damages from hurricanes have increased in the U.S. over time due to greater population, infrastructure, and wealth on the U.S. coastlines, and not to any spike in the number or intensity of hurricanes.
“We found that although some decades were quieter and less damaging in the U.S. and others had more land-falling hurricanes and more damage, the economic costs of land-falling hurricanes have steadily increased over time,” said Chris Landsea, one of the researchers as well as the science and operations officer at NOAA’s National Hurricane Center in Miami. “There is nothing in the U.S. hurricane damage record that indicates global warming has caused a significant increase in destruction along our coasts.”
