My point was that priceless ideas come into the head of many people 
almost continuously, and I mean very good ideas (good as in useful if 
realized). But trying to make money from the idea alone, without any 
more effort to put them into practice, and preventing others from doing 
the same, doesn't help progress as such, only helps someone line some 
pockets.

BTW, I agree with Bijan that this list easily falls prey to trolls :D
