Need some extra cash to fund your pet narcoterrorism regime remixing project? Earn Fast Cash finding solutions to various scientific "problems".

"InnoCentive has awarded a total of $457,500 USD to 26 scientists in the InnoCentive Solver community."

(I am currently looking for someone to synthesize 1 gram of d-lysergic acid diethylamide-25 for an award of $1000.)

Currently, the problems are all in the fields of chemistry and biology. However,
if you've got some up-and-coming tech in the fields of:
- Knowledge Management and Visualization
- Search and Discovery
- Security and Privacy
- Distributed Data Collection
- Geospatial Technologies
that you'd like to offer up to the CIA/intelligence community for bidding, send a proposal to their investment front, IN-Q-TEL. The time is nigh to take a cut while everyone stands idly by as the gubment hemorrhages money to fight its various wars.

If they reject your proposal, there is still hope. Come up with an "Acme 5X24 series time transducing capacitor with built-in temporal displacement" or "AMD Dimensional Warp Generator module containing the GRC79 induction motor", among other parts, and you could be falling into some skrill from this time traveler. (read robby's story here.)

I've already done checked ACME's illustrated catalog and there is no mention of any 5X24 series time transducing capacitor. They, however, do have late model atom re-arrangers as well as ACME House Instant Girl!
