you cannot give students laptops to use full time and lock them down. I am not sure it is legal to monitor computer usage at home especially if there is no consent. Since these some of the kids are high school age, they will be able to bypass whatever security you install. It is very likely that the students will be more knowledgeable than the staff at school - when they realize that a ubuntu livecd or a virtual machine is not restricted or monitored they will use it (or they will reformat the machines at home). You should not allow the students to bring the machines home or you should have the students actually own all of the machines. Any restrictions should be in the network hardware at the school and not in the machines or else it will not work.
What liquid is AMD using for immersion? Water? Last I heard moving to second generation liquids with a higher index of refraction was impossible because no one could make a prism that would allow the light to transmit into the fluid - kind of like when you are swimming in a pool and you look up and see a mirror like reflection instead of seeing outside perfectly
the problem with using nanotubes for anything is that it is very difficult to control their creation, growth and alignment. Also, he probably used a specific nanotube for this and to mass produce it they would need a way to create nanotubes that are identical - same size, diameter, length, chirality, etc. If he could figure out this last part, it would be incredible, but the process of selecting nanotubes for this and then aligning them properly is extremely difficult and expensive since atomic force microscopy is needed to identify the properties of the nanotubes.
wouldn't it work in the same way they rent out other parts of the labs? like particle accelerators and x-ray diffraction? The highest bidder gets it or you send a proposal and they either approve or deny it.
you know that nanotubes are usually on the order of 10-100 nanometers wide, which is 10-100*10^-9 meters, so 18mm would be 18*10^-3 - 6 orders of magnitude difference
you probably wont be allowed to use an 89 until later in high school so I would get an 84 then when you can use it get an 89, just dont let it do all your calc work for you
400 was a good price point because it allowed most gamers the chance to buy a system. Microsoft loses money on each system sold, but makes money on the games. Once a person buys a system, they will have to buy games because otherwise they will feel like they wasted money on the system. Microsoft wants everyone to be able to buy a system, and hype from sellouts fuels more sales.
I thought that southwest was so successful because they bought a lot of gasoline and oil futures at very low prices so now they do not have to pay as high of a price for fuel as everyone else.
I doubt this will happen, especially since palm is starting to make windows mobile devices (treo700w). An ipod like treo would be interesting to look at but I doubt it would be useful.

he is a smart guy, I am sure anything important is truecrypted

they could just use refrigerated containers
