Props are due, but there are dozens who better deserve his spot on that list.

- not Gates? -- nm - Beaker Jul 25, 11:48 14
  - Gates was always playing catch-up to the likes of Jobs - that's pretty much the opposite of being infuential - con_carne Jul 25, 11:50 12
    - Except that Gates's charitable work - and being so public about it, for awareness reasons - flies in the face of Jobs' apparent lack of charity -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 11:51 11
      - yup -- nm - decline Jul 25, 11:53
      - this. Buffet gave him like $10 Billion or so for his charity, that seems pretty influential to me -- nm - Beaker Jul 25, 11:53 9
        
        Look, if you're going to start putting people on that list for simply getting others to spend their money, let's put Roger Goodell on there -- nm - con_carne Jul 25, 11:56
        
        What influence has it had on America? -- nm - Roger More Jul 25, 11:55 7
        
        made the people he has helped like us more? made people want to help others more? Plus everyone has or have had Windows -- nm - Beaker Jul 25, 11:56 3
        
        I don't know that it's had a broad impact on America. I think the "everyone uses Windows/Office" argument is better. - Roger More Jul 25, 12:07
        
        also xbox -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 11:59 1
        
        also office -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 12:00
        
        Probably a more positive one than the wars in iraq and afghanistan ... -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 11:55 2
        
        I'm not questioning the Gates Foundation's generosity, or the impact it is having outside the United States. -- nm - Roger More Jul 25, 11:57 1
        
        An impact outside the US is reflected in some ways within the US -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 11:58

Jeremy Lin? - The Dark Spawn Jul 25, 11:45 2
- Maura Tierney? -- nm - prayformojo Jul 25, 11:46 1
  - ER and News Radio! and Rescue Me! She's a god-damned american treasure! -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 11:47
