I really wish we could come up with "community awards" where certain people with certain accomplishment could pool in their own money to honor a researcher who is otherwise not so much known in main stream media. For example Steve Jobs is a well known name but Denis Richie isn't.

- zimpenfish 12y agoAh, my apologies, didn't occur to me.
- jacquesm 12y agoTwo spelling errors was a pretty good giveaway.
- Chinjut 12y agoFTFY: "Stephen Job"
- bramgg 12y ago> Steven Jobs FTFY ;)

- merrua 12y agoThere used to be community credit awards. I once received one when I was younger, it was a lovely idea.
