This lucky bunch of passengers got the opportunity to be on a flight from the US to London with only 5 passengers on board.

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.

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.

I just finished setting up Synergy on my dual headed windows box and a single headed Debian Linux workstation and was in multi-monitor monitor heaven until I saw this thing.

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.”
