If nobody has seen this yet, you all must check this out.

There are free recorded lectures from schools like Yale and Oxford. Tons and tons of lectures. History, Literature, Psychology, Neurobiology, etc!
Likewise, if you haven't, check out iTunes University. Similar thing, but I like academicearth more. XD

I'm checking this out now. Looks like a great tool. Just make sure to remember it's not the same as classroom education in that you are not doing labwork or discussions xD

You should probably consider checking out MIT OpenCourseWare, which basically pioneered the whole free courses thing.
MIT's Introduction to Algorithms is really good and it's taught by Charles Leiserson, one of the authors of Introduction to Algorithms, which is pretty much the algorithms textbook (he's the L in CLRS).

Oh my gosh. I think I just died and went to heaven, XD.
Too bad there aren't any writing videos or videos about Asian history.

Their selection is kinda limited, yes. But for each topic they have, they have LOADS of lectures on it. So while it's kinda small, it's very concentrated!

I watched the first Lit Theory lecture and five minutes from the end I started getting a huge headache, XD.

There are a lot of good courses available here, but the major catch is that since you're taking college level courses if you don't have the text you'll often times become lost. Particularly when a course starts referring back to the textbooks a lot. I read an article a year ago in Popular Mechanics where someone tried to see if they could fill in the gaps in their education using these resources and that was his major stumbling block.

That site looks great. I was looking for introductory literature classes. I just wish they had ripped the audio tracks and made mp3s so I could listen to them, too.
A few other resources, for those interested:
http://www.khanacademy.org/
Khan Academy has 1400 or so youtube videos on general knowledge. I have personally used them to ease myself through Multivariable Calculus. The quality isn't the absolute greatest, but they were all made by the same, incredibly dedicated man. You have to give him props for that.
http://librivox.org/
Librivox is an open source audiobook project with hundreds (thousands?) of recordings of public domain books. There was a thread about this a little while ago with no responses, but I think it is worthing mentioning this again. I have used this resource during my commute many times. Again, the quality is variable, but it is free, open, and close to comprehensive so one can't complain too much.
