The Drill SGT বলেছেন...: It's a business biased list, but I would have ranked Opra higher.

I also saw a number of questionables.

Laura Bush seemed low.

I would not rank the leader of Liberia (which is bearly a country anymore) higher than for example the the PM of Ireland and the PM of Korea; ১/৯/০৬, ৯:২৩ AM
J বলেছেন...: If Nooyi is so powerful, why isn't there a caffeine free version of Pepsi One? Or is that her way of giving us the finger?; ১/৯/০৬, ৯:২৩ AM
jimbino বলেছেন...: I think it's ridiculous to refer to Angela as a "former physicist." How does one stop being a physicist? You don't need a degree, recognition or any certification or licensing to become a physicist! And you don't need to pay any dues or take any continuing education courses to maintain your brain, either. It's like calling Salinger a former writer or Jesus a former messiah.; ১/৯/০৬, ১০:৫৭ AM
The Drill SGT বলেছেন...: Jim,

As my lawyer wife uses the constructs there are:

1. attorneys
2. non-practicing attorney's
3. disbarred attorneys

I agree with your observation; ১/৯/০৬, ১১:৫৩ AM
Jeremy বলেছেন...: Journalists are not lawyers. I think that "former physicist" is generally taken to mean non-practising. I assume that the Chancellor would no longer refer to herself as a physicist. While it's true that there are no licenses required, I suppose that we all engage in tiny thought experiments and interact with the physical world around us and thus, in some way, we are all physicists. But to say that everyone is a physicist, makes the term nearly useless.; ১/৯/০৬, ১২:৫৮ PM

jimbino বলেছেন...: Class-factotum,

No you don't need a degree to be a physicist any more than you need one to be a writer or philosopher. You don't even have to have any "recent experience" in bomb-making, for example, to be hired to design a nuclear weapon from scratch, as history has shown. Any you can practice your craft on the Moon, whereas a lawyer can't generally practice in the next state!; ২/৯/০৬, ১১:৫০ AM
