HP's New Data Center Cooled By Glacial Wind 116
Arvisp writes with this snippet about HP's recently completed datacenter in northeast England, which utilizes the glacial wind blowing off the North Sea to lower temperatures of IT equipment and plant rooms: "The Wynyard takes in the cool air, filters it accordingly and collects it in the management system and is then forced over the front of the server racks before it is exhausted. The result is a hall with a constant temperature of 24C. When the winds become even colder than usual, the exhausted heat is mixed with the outside air to maintain temperatures."

Comment It depends on the class (Score 1) 569
As a college freshman myself, I find both to be useful in different situations. Electrical engineering class obviously has plenty of diagrams, so paper and pen works best for that. Math has all sorts of stuff that's much harder to do on a computer. But psychology has (almost) no diagrams or equations, so typing works better for that simply because it's faster.
Look, this whole discussion is almost pointless. People are going to use whatever they feel the most comfortable with. Go to any college and you'll see that neither paper nor laptops are extinct.
