  1. here is an idea on NASA Prize Program Releases Workshop Report · · Score: 1

    one trillion dollars for the first person to create an engine capable of going light speed, 500 million for some one who creates an engine that goes at least .25 light speed.

    also, 1 trillion for the first person to develop an inertial bubble that allows the passenger to not feel the accelerations of the vehicle.

    aim high, right?

  3. Re:Complement or Competitor to Traditional Encycs? on Ask Wikipedia Founder Jimmy Wales About Online Collaboration · · Score: 3, Interesting

    well, for what people use encyclopedias for today, I think Wikipedia is fine. when you do a serious research paper you use news sources, journals, and interviews. Encyclopedias are only useful for ancillary facts that need to be verified but not sighted, WikiPedia is good enough for that.

  8. Re:MBA is not the end all be all on Too Few American Scientists? Maybe Not · · Score: 5, Insightful

    you just described a leader not a manager.

    managers are made to maintain the Status Quo, Leaders are made to give direction and vision and to get everyone on board.

    though a good leader needs good management skills to maintain the day to day garbage.
