Torvalds the "5th Most-Powerful Man in Tech"

An anonymous reader writes "According to silicon.com, Linus Torvalds is the fifth most influential man in technology. The bio they have written for him isn't the most flattering to the open source community though. I quote: "If it wasn't for the presence of Lara Croft and Xena Warrior Princess, techies around the world would have posters of Torvalds on their walls." It goes on to say: "In truth Torvalds best work is in the past"... which seems to negate their own argument for having him in there. Also in the Top 5 is Steve Jobs (1) who comes out on top of Bill Gates (2). As an interesting aside, the writer of the Sobig virus even makes it in at Number 42..."

Bahaha! That was really quite funny. Too bad the "m0d d00dz" can't take a joke.

There isn't one. The AC is pulling it out of her ass. Also, I'm married, not an idiot, and naturally cute, so I could give a fuck about appearing sensitive to women on an anonymous geek forum. Of course it is left to you to figure out my gender. You get 2 guesses.
