                    Software isn't knowledge by MikeCDN2005-03-16 16:54:51
                      Software is knowledge by Liava 2005-03-16 17:05:23
Either that or mathematics isn't. You can't have both, I'm afraid. Are you even a programmer? Do you even know what terms like "NP Complete", "Turing Complete" and Decidability mean? Do you know what an algorithm is? Algorithms are knowledge, and software is algorithms, just as mathematical theorems are knowledge. If you want to convince me otherwise, you are going to have to provide evidence and not attack straw men.

As for MIT being different, I never suggested it wasn't. Your claim is not that MIT's course offerings are different from Wikipedia's articles. I have no doubt that they are different. Your claim was that there is not a large number of experts willing to donate information for free.
