Utilising your School
Sunburst

So many people that I know have come up to me to ask if they can have some
magnesium, sulphuric acid etc. Most of the people reading this file will still
be at school, so why not take advantage of it?

IMO school is only good for one thing, the amount of stuff which you can
'borrow' or buy from it. Most of the pointless crap that you get taught is all
over the internet so if you ever feel in the mood to learn :) 

What I usually do is to buy my chemicals etc. from the science techs, at a v.
cheap price. This isn't strictly allowed, schools don't pay VAT, but if you get to
know the science teacher most will be very cooperative. In the past I have
bought Nitrogen Dioxide, good stuff for getting high and not illegal :-)), a
shit load of magnesium, and other miscellaneous stuff. In my experience science
techs know a lot more than the teachers and are a good source of information. If
you have a bastard tech who won't sell you any stuff, then you can think about
stealing. If you can buy, do it because its a: fucking cheap and b: you learn a
lot from the techs. 

If you do steal always, always work alone, your chances of getting caught are
much slimmer and it is easier to make up an excuse up on your own, e.g. how do you
explain when a teacher see's you and 2 mates with a TV? Another piece of advice
is that you should stay to the small things, how many of your science teachers
would miss 20g of magnesium powder?

Another good place to go to save you money would be to the computer room.
Computer techs and admins are either a: all right and cooperative or b: absolute
wankers, its about 50/50. If you have an all right admin they will allow you to
borrow software CD's to install on your box, with a little social engineering. A
tech is unlikely to let you borrow a software CD without an excuse. What I
usually do is make something up like I accidently deleted some important system
file/ *.dll/ etc. and my cds corrupted so you could you lend me a copy. If you've
got a tight sysadmin they won't let you, so you'll have to do it another way.  

For this method you will need a portable compression drive such as a zip or jaz
drive, you will also need the driver disk, and write access to the windows
directory (schools always use NT or sometimes even 95 networks :)) If your
network is NT or 95 based it ranges from v.easy to moderate to gain write
access, if you have RM I will cover it in another file. Another way to do it if
you don't have write access (spelling?) is to copy the driver files on to a
floppy disk and create a bootdisk, shouldn't be to hard :), and then put the
network drivers on as well. When you've booted up (dos or windows) plug in the
drive and you should be able to copy stuff off the network on to the zip drive.
This should work on most school networks, if it doesn't work on yours mail me at
sunburst@which.net and I might be able to help. Oh yeah put the drive under a
bag or something, if you don't wanna get busted :) 

The English department is good if you want to read up on Shakespeare </joke>

 Music teachers are usually glad to help you out and quite occasionally give out
stuff for free, guitar leads, tablature books etc. Both of the music teachers
at my school absolutely fucking despise the school, and have no problem giving
away the schools equipment. The music teachers probably wouldn't notice if
anything went missing anyway.

The cooking room is a good place to try if your hungry and in need of a snack or
two. Try eating a whole fruit cake in under a minute :)

I have noticed that there are a large number of stupid people who are prepared
to pay for shite. £10 for Msworks 2? £3 for 10 ex-aol floppy disks? This can
often make you quite a bit of money, about enough for Glastonbury and the V*
music festivals :)

A good and obvious way to get floppy disks are ISP's who do junk mail. AOL for
example are only to happy to send floppy disks to any address each month, just
say you don't have a floppy drive. Have them send them to your home address and
at school. Do this to CompuServe and UK Online as well. This gives you about 10
disks a month.

That's the end of my file. I'm happy to answer any questions either on IRC or by
mail (sunburst@which.net). Any comments would be appreciated.
