Re: [OFF TOPIC] Linus Torvalds, the man of the century

    Gee, folks...could've left the URL of the voting page intact,
at least.  Here it is again.  The category concerns the "greatest
builders and most influential business leaders."  I'm sure that
LINUX will be such an influence--and very soon.  We also tend to
give credit for such accomplishments to originators of the products
in question even though others may have later assured success of
that product (except in a few isolated cases, like that of Nicola
Tesla, who was way cool).  I'll vote for Linus, just to promote
this product that will bring proceeds to the workers instead of
only giving proceeds to shareholders and administrators.  LINUX
and the SPI is a wonderful gift to consultants and other industry
workers (oh, and the developers for sure).
Linus originated LINUX.
