Slashdot is becoming less and less useful to me as it grows wider. I think I might switch to Ars as my primary tech source.

But in any case, I also agree with you that the Admins (including Taco) should also abide by the speed limit and most other rules they set for users.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Compatibility_with_DVI

The DVI signal is electrically compatible with HDMI video signal; no signal conversion needs to take place when an adapter is used and consequently no loss in video quality occurs.[70] As such HDMI is backward compatible with Digital Visual Interface carrying digital video (DVI-D or DVI-I, but not DVI-A) used on modern computer monitors and graphics cards. This means that a DVI-D source can drive an HDMI monitor, or vice versa, by means of a suitable adapter or cable

Google Shopping displays the full price + shipping; Amazon doesn't. This leads Amazon's sub-merchants to post their items with a skewed cost structure, such as $2.99 for a GC controller, plus $8.97 shipping. :(

The most important thing you can provide is computer education for the educators. There have been far too many times when a school district (or grant foundation) lays out millions of dollars, and every classroom gets a shiny row of networked computers ... which lie unused all year. Unless the teachers know both how to use the technology (which you can provide) and concrete ways it can improve their lessons (which may be the hard part), you'll be wasting a lot of effort.

Thanks for the pointers. Weird that the items on Amazon didn't show up in Google Shopping.

The great circle from Tehran to Washington DC goes over Georgia, Ukraine, Poland & Denmark.

Regardless, Nizo is correct. Iran does not have ICBMs. Their best missiles might reach Israel though.

And even if they could reach the USA, they wouldn't be so stupid as to do a public launch from Iranian soil, because I expect we would turn every square inch of that soil into blast glass.
