I'm afraid I can't possibly vote for someone who wrote a useful and
revolutionary piece of code when he's up against such impressive
competition.  Just a cursory glance brings out Vaclev Havel and Nelson
Mandela, two people who brought about "regime change" and liberated
their people from brutal and oppressive systems without bloodshed.

It's a bit disappointing that there are no women in the list, but then
it's a pretty odd list...
