Sound Filters for Open Windows Printer Friendly Version
I want a sound filter for my windows. With all those smart people out there on the internet, it can't be so hard to make one. The sound filter works much like the mosquito nets I already have: It's cheap and you fasten it on the outside of your window. It'll keep out all the street noise, but it will let in the fresh air, which is especially good in summers.
Reward: I want sound filters for ALL my windows.

Conclusions from The WTC Disaster Printer Friendly Version
During the past several days, I've been seeing those sad scenes from the World Trade Center disaster again and again. Now, I am wondering whether there might be any conclusions to be drawn (and I mean something that goes beyond the killing of more innocent people).
One of the images that struck me most was that of people jumping off the WTC in panic and falling to death. I can't believe that, at the beginning of the 21st century, the only way of escaping from a burning sky scraper is committing suicide by jumping out of the window. If a building is taller than 1000 ft, why don't they have any parachutes for emergency purposes? I don't know if this is technically feasible, but if it's not, there are definitely other solutions. I mean, if you travel on a ship, you expect it to have life-preservers for every passenger. So I think it wouldn't be too much asked to have a similar life saver for tall buildings.
Reward: It would be rewarding for me if others could think about these matters as well and come up with some constructive ideas. (Maybe someone has a new approach to enhance the safety on planes?)

Introduce 'talking' or 'quiet' seats on airplanes Printer Friendly Version
Introduce 'talking' or 'quiet' seats on airplanes, which would be offered in addition to the routine window or aisle options. Then, they can seat passengers according to their chatting preference. Extroverts will be assured that the person next to them wants to make small talk as well, and introverts can be guaranteed a quiet ride.
