    Default Okay now THIS is really neat!

    I always wanted to go to MIT

    By the end of this year, the contents of all 1,800 courses taught at one of the world's most prestigious universities will be available online to anyone in the world, anywhere in the world. Learners won't have to register for the classes, and everyone is accepted.

    The cost? It's all free of charge.

    “When you get to the end of all the light you know
    and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown,
    faith is knowing that one of two things will happen:
    you will be given something solid to stand on,
    or you will be taught how to fly.” - Edward Teller


    “Our Earth is degenerate in these later days;
    there are signs that the world is speedily
    coming to an end;
    bribery and corruption are common; children no
    longer obey their parents;
    every man wants to write a book and the
    end of the world is evidently approaching.”
    — From a translation of an inscription on
    an Assyrian clay tablet, circa 2800 B.C.E.

    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    courage to change the things I can,
    and the wisdom to know the difference    .

    Your right, that is neat.
    Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.

    Bumping because this is such a great 'freebie'.

    Very cool!
    Too bad you don't earn credit hours...it will be fun though. Maybe I'll add a class or two to the four I'm already taking.

    Yes, I am a glutton for punishment.
