Top Ten Geek Girls

TurboPatrol writes "CNET have published a list of the Top Ten Girl Geeks throughout history. The winners include the elegant Ada Byron (the world's first computer programmer), Grace Hopper (invented the compiler) and Lisa Simpson (invented the perpetual motion machine — well, in the world of cartoons). Some of the entries are fascinating, for example Marie Curie apparently used to carry plutonium in her jacket pockets. Have they missed anyone out?" At least two entries on the list are stupid. I guess someone thought they were funny.

The fact that they had to include a fictional character, and Paris Hilton, shows you just how little women have ever accomplished in the realm of technology.

Don't give them such a hard time. Ten geek girls are difficult to scrounge up.

I would have thought Carol Vorderman would have been a good candidate, but maybe that's a bit too UK centric.
