Once you get past the first 3 or 4 classes, you start to find that the instructors are actually professors again, usually, depends on the course I suppose, and the school. I tried U of Phoenix, and hated the curriculum, so I switched, tried Art institute of Pittsburgh, also, not a fan of the curriculum as much, and finally found myself attending Colorado Technical Institute online division. It's a real school, and they have an online division, and they're accredited. The virtual campus website is terrific, and they offer great labs, and after the first several courses, which are usually for online schools, all introductory anyway, I started to learn something. Can someone teach themselves, sure, but it's easier for me to have a professor I can contact and chat with, over the phone, online, or via email, to get a better understanding of things. I can teach myself Java for example, but logic and set theory are better studied with someone that knows what they're doing and has experience, and can critique your work. Also, Programming concepts and troubleshooting is more of a theory class, but it's not something you learn from a book alone that just teaches you a programming language. So I don't feel the online experience is much different than the standard college I went to for my Associates all those years ago, and going for my Masters now doesn't feel like a joke. When you have to write 3 to 8 page papers for a discreet mathematics class twice a week every week for 5 weeks, and the professor actually reads them and grades them according to what you know and write, I don't see it as a waste of a course. When you are expected to write classes and methods for the sake of other student's critiquing your style of writing code to discuss as well sticking to standards, I don't see that as a waste either. I find that it is just like a normal campus college, only I have the flexibility of attending my class at the hours I choose, so long as I still get my work done on time and correctly. I find less bureaucracy involved online as well than I did with a traditional campus college.

You're not alone. Same thing happened to me a couple months ago. I just got lucky and happened to catch the license plate and make of the car as he drove off, through a red light, after crushing my rear drivers side door. Insurance company found my information accurate, and managed to get the deductible and cost of repairs from the ass that hit my car, but the police never issued a ticket.

Really, Pravda? Yes, it means "Truth" in Russian, but if you are familiar with the paper, it's closer to being considered a rag than a reliable source of news information.

Sat-nav has for the most part, helped me learn a new area faster than I would have with maps. I've used it when business takes me to a new locale, and after two or three uses, I know the general layout enough that It's not necessary anymore. At least with sat-nav, the maps get updated. With the old fold out maps, you had to rely on whenever that edition was printed.
