Hydrogen is the preferred fuel, but it is unstable and difficult to work with. Methanol (which is easier to handle) can be used in conjunction with a reformer, which basically extracts the hydrogen from the methanol.
At that point, it is the same thing as a normal fuel cell, just a bit less efficient
My HS has been doing stuff like this for years

Linux in High School Labs

I am a Senior Network Administrator at a magnet high school in Austin, TX (LBJHS). I am in my junior year (Class of '04) and I (along with three other guys) manage nearly all aspects of the network at the school - from servers to workstations and infrastructure. Our organization, Student Technology Administration Council (www.stac.org is our website), has been managing the network at our school, independent of the school district's network since 1994.
We now have 300-400 workstations (mostly W2K except one Slackware lab) being served by a small army of linux servers on our own campus T1. This program is an incredible and unique learning experience for us - being able to manage an entire building's network while still in High School with little to no aid from outside adults.
I like to brag that our network's stability is significantly better than the network that the rest of the school district is on.
ah... but what if they anticipated that someone would have thought of that? maybe they used the first key because no one would ACTUALLY be stupid enough to use the FIRST key
I can just see it now...
Person A "hey how are you doing?"::shakes hand::
Person B "pretty good"::realizes that A is rubbing his hand because he can't get a solid connection::
At school also.
I happened to be browsing around on the [H]forums during my networking class that day. I found a thread about some rumored attack on the WTC, at the same time, someone walked in having heard about it. We didn't have easy access to TVs there, and with the major news sites getting bogged down, we had to resort to sites that repost or mirror news (like/.)
Slashdot Mirror
thats really disturbing

HowStuffWorks has a good explanation about it http://science.howstuffworks.com/fuel-cell.htm
sad but true :(

hopefully there won't be any "derivative" posts to that one
