Breadboards would make it easier to correct mistakes, but having a project that includes soldering would be likely to engage the students more. It would be a new skill for most of them and probably something they have never seen before. You would be surprised how something like that can change the perception of a school science project.
Soldering is a good skill to teach. In my High School i took a class specifically dedicated to audio electronics and a good part of that class was soldering. 9th graders are mature enough to comprehend the concept of "Don't touch that it will burn you" and be careful, and not a single person in my class injured themselves or anyone else with a soldering iron.
One of the projects we had to work on was a simple 120VAC to 1-10VDC power converter. I ended up having to pay about $5 for the kit we used. The kit itself would show real world applications for many physics concepts and came with a very well documented explanation of the circuit and the concepts involved.

You attached strong magnets to your magnetic storage device? Did you intentionally want to erase your data after writing it or are you just an idiot?
You would probably just get banned from wal-mart for life. Someone near me attempted to lift like $100 in World of Warcraft time cards and got caught, they just told him to get off the property and banned him for life from shopping at Wal-Mart.
Even give that the recording industry would have still seen no real damages if you are talking physical CDs. The retail outlets buy them outright and then mark them up and resell them. So she could have technically taken as many as she wanted from a store still not hurt the RIAA.
I use gametap, and i love it. i get access to a huge library of games for $10/mo. alot better investment then an mmo (and I played WoW for like 2 years).
it's still cheeper then windows and it's supported. For the average user that a big plus because you dont have to waste hours searching through forums and news groups where you will mostlikely be flamed for being a "n00b".
At my highschool they baned Dodgeball for fear that someone would get railed in the head and knock something loose. yet it was perfectly ok to play floor hockey with contact..

or you can use sysprep, and have it delete all the driver info..unless it's gone in XP. i haven't had to do anything like that since 2000.

Man Bear Pig!!! we must save him too!!!!
that number would probably be even higher if you include pen and paper rpg's and other such games (magic, DnD, Rifts, Warhammer 40k, etc.).

why not just buy a laptop with a Linux distro(suse 10.1) pre-installed, configed AND supported by vendor?
