The Ultimate IT People Test
Below is a list of 800+ names of influential IT, Com Sci, and computer related people. There are Linux gods, Microsoft gurus, famous scientists, notorious hackers, game designers, authors, entrepreneurs, and more. How many do you know? Go ahead and test yourself.
For each name:
1. If you recognize the name give yourself 1 point.
2. Give yourself another point if you know an approximate date of birth.
3. Finally, a further 3 points for identifying what that person is famous for.
Underneath the list is a set of links to help you find the answers. You'll have to do a little bit of research, but you wouldn't be doing a geeky test like this unless you enjoy that kind of thing... would you? :) * Update - I've removed some duplicates and marked those numbers with DUPLICATE REMOVED.

For each name:
1. If you recognize the name give yourself 1 point.
2. Give yourself another point if you know an approximate date of birth.
3. Finally, a further 3 points for identifying what that person is famous for.
Underneath the list is a set of links to help you find the answers. You'll have to do a little bit of research, but you wouldn't be doing a geeky test like this unless you enjoy that kind of thing... would you? :) * Update - I've removed some duplicates and marked those numbers with DUPLICATE REMOVED.
