Just nitpicking here, but it's actually legal for pilots flying aerobatics solo. Parachutes are only *required* when carrying someone else in the plane.
Federal Aviation Regulation 91.307 section C
(c) Unless each occupant of the aircraft is wearing an approved parachute, no pilot of a civil aircraft carrying any person (other than a crewmember) may execute any intentional maneuver that exceeds
(1) A bank of 60 degrees relative to the horizon; or
(2) A nose-up or nose-down attitude of 30 degrees relative to the horizon.
I think Intel may not have much to worry about, with the recent headway that their Israeli Labs have been making with the development of the Pentium M, Centrino, and now the Core Duo/Solo chips.
It's no wonder why there was some market loss when all the could produce out of the US Labs were overclocked P3/P4 chips that produced too much heat to be useful in mobile applications.
I'm glad there's a topic on/. I feel like helping with.

Here are my suggestions:
First, find and talk to several teachers who may be interested in helping, by staying after, helping you deal with school politics. (Physics teachers, CS teachers, ours was actually a Assisted Learning teacher)
Second, get a room, or some place to store your equipment, hopefully a back corner of a said teachers room. This helps A LOT!
Third, ask around for used equipment, explain who you are, what your goals are. We scrounged lots of 386/486 machines this way. And installed Linux on them.
Fourth, hold regular meetings, recruit members, post flyers up around school, get in the school paper if you have one.
Fifth, Come up with some goals, we did everything from compete in computer contests, tinker with Linux, Solaris, and NT betas, and even created an AppleSeed Cluster link
Sixth, Have fun! I learned so much spending those hours after school, programming with friends, discussing the latest software and hardware.
Other things that might help is just helping the school. We did some troubleshooting for our ONE tech person, helped them out took the load off, we got some network cables from the deal as well.
For fund raising we sold mouse pads with our group name on them as well.
Feel free to e-mail me for more info if you need.

To rename something in the finder just select the file and hit 'return' it will then allow you to type, no waiting.
yes I know with Windows 'return' launches the application.
You know, not to be an annoying b*tch or anything. But, stick a heatsink and fan (if required) on your cpu. Keep it cool.
Otherwise it's like, I spend 16 hours and over $300 dollars creating the custom case rig with liquid oxegen flowing past every heatsink in my case. Now instead of 45 deg. C I get it down to 42! Shut up already.
I've never had a cooling problem, worried about my heatsink falling off and anything like that. My 1.4 AMD is at 53 c under full load, after being clocked to 1.533 it's now at 55c. That is well within acceptable limits. I don't have a moded case, or many fans, I have a powersupply, and a fan on the heatsink.
Some people need to get a life and stop worrying about cooling their cpu down one little degree more. sheesh!

On my Debian NAS I use ext2. For windows it is shared via samba, and shared via netatalk to my macs. Simple solution.
