The following cropped up on NEWLIST this week. It turns out Time magazine is
preparing a Man of the Century (tough luck about you women!) top ten for
their magazine. Now I don't really see the point in subscribing to the
mailing list, but you can do your duty by voting for Linus at
http://www.pathfinder.com/time/time100/poll_index.html
In the relevant rubric (BUILDERS AND TITANS), things stand at:
1. richard rogers 636494 7.42%
2. henry ford 555916 6.48
3. douglas macarthur 474770 5.53
4. bill gates 468605 5.46
5. howard hughes 351237 4.09
6. vehbi koc 350473 4.08
7. steve jobs 336439 3.92
8. murat arslan 205791 2.40
I don't know whether I am ignorant, or whether this is an Americano-centric
thing, but I have no clue as to what 1, 6 and 8 did (or maybe I know but
don't know that I know). I also thought 3 went around busting things, not
building them. Whatever.
Apparently Linus has 10 000 votes going for him. redhat-list should be good
for another 1 000 more, so register your opinion, and spread the word to
your Linuxing friends about this.

Subject: NEW: linusmotc - Linus Torvalds, Man of the Century
linusmotc on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Dalnet #Linux is starting a movement to get Linus Torvalds voted
man of the century. The Concept is to have Time see a massive grass
roots movement, and give at least an honorable mention to Linux.
If we were able to get 1 million votes for Linus, it would certainly
get notice. That would be about 1 in 5 Linux users.
No URL is available at this time, however more information will be posted
as soon as possible at http://www.merconline.com.
