I can understand how degrees by coursework can benefit from this. It will be interesting if universities with real brands will ever allow master or doctorates to be via online study..

At least in Sweden this is getting more common for masters, doctorates are still campus-only. I have not done a comprehensive search for masters that are online-only but I know of master in GIS, sociology and psychology and some nurses-education. In some cases you are required to take some of the tests on campus or at a "education-center" bur can choose whichever are closest to you. Also in some courses like chemistry and biology there might be some classes that are on campus.

Three days? That is fast!
I once was told that it would take three weeks for me to be unsubscribed, with a few mails each week. If I had known that I would be spammed so much I would have shopped at another site.

And I hate being forced to log on to unsubscribe! It should be possible with only a link in the mail.

Comment Re:NHK World is reporting serious emissions (Score 0) 752

The outer walls of the Reactor 1 building have partially blown off, leaving only what looks like a steel frame. NHK is saying that a sensor within 5km of the plant is detecting radiation levels approaching 1015 microsieverts - that is apparently a year's worth of radiation exposure each hour.

1015 microsieverts by itself are meningless, you need the timescale. 1015 microsiverts per year are in the normal range of external background radiation.
