Also, I believe HBO now owns Funny or Die, and airs the videos in a late night show called "Funny or Die presents..." Did some work on an ep a few months ago and this is what the deal memo led me to believe. Ironically, I don't actually get HBO, so I can't tell you for sure. http://www.hbo.com/funny-or-die-presents

And I've never had an issue submitting things to IMDb. Nearly every update I've submitted is up within 24 hours. Most of the time I provide a link with proof/citation of the information I'm submitting, which may be the "additional information" they were looking for? Who knows.

I feel like some suggestions are missing the target of age. I had required typing classes in my school sixth and seventh grade, BASIC lessons in fifth grade, and as an extracurricular in ninth grade I was starting to get into calculator assembly. Yes, many people who come out of seventh grade typing leave a lot to be desired, but I don't think the mentality changes between 7th and 9th grades. If kids see typing class as a reason to screw off, I doubt ninth grade will roll around and all of a sudden they'll say "WOW, this is a skill that I must know". Another thing to keep in mind is that (at least for my school system experience), 9th grade is when the concept of core classes and extracurriculars are introduced. I assume that most of the kids that will be in this class are of the type that would WANT to learn the class' content, rather than just randomly thrust into the curriculum. I think that changes what would be taught to them. Programming, Logic, How The Internet Works (subnets, webserver, DNS), some security, software, the difference between HDD and SSD, etc.

The HDMI port also supports surround sound, and most modern receivers are built to support multichannel audio over HDMI.
