It is, but some things need teachers, or at least slides and tutorials, instead of encyclopedia articles. If I had to learn linear algebra from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_algebra , I wouldn't have gotten nearly as far as I did wit

Just a thought in addition to the physics lectures (which are definitely important) - programming, or maybe even simple data entry, is probably the easiest way to earn money during spare time while still gaining knowledge and experience. If

What kinds of computer concepts will you be teaching to the kids (Word/Excel, basic programming, data structures and algorithms)? Do they have access to any computers outside of class, like in an Internet cafe, or even on a cell phone that

$199 instead of $399 might be a valid argument, if you were poor and just wanted a phone to talk to people and didn't care about lock-in.

maybe there are applications for enhanced training within companies, or even to sell on the cheap to college students themselves that want a better group-study environment for when they can't meet up. you don't have to sell bulk licenses.

PG, agree/disagree? i ask because this is an interesting contrast to what you've said about writing a crappy v1.0, then iterating on and improving it. but the two concepts aren't mutually exclusive, because maybe "crappy v1.0" can simply me

Is there really anything that is truly random? I've always wondered about this. If you define random as meaning "when rand() is called many times in a row, you will most probably get a different number each time" then both the Perl function
