    MIT OpenCourseWare

    This, to me, is amazing. MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) has opened up all of its information from a variety of courses free to the public. They are there to view, learn, download, save, etc.... all free. To my knowledge, no school has ever done this. You are basically getting an education for free. I just wish they provided a degree for free as well.

    Wow, I did a college course years ago where we followed an MIT course when this was like a pilot project and only some courses, mostly comp sci, were online. It was fantastic!

    I feel like such an idiot when I look at some of that stuff. Geo thermal power and nuclear stuff. Its amazing that people can grasp all that knowledge.
    No matter how many times I read a book like that, I would never be able to retain that information.
    I have a lot of respect for people who graduate from schools like that.
    My girlfriend is worried that I will stop liking her because she smart like that. Makes me laugh.
    Thanks for the site Jason
