Seems telling that the most influential people in programming are listed as the developer of the web, then the developer of wordpress, then the developers of Google. Also a list that includes Jeff Atwood but not Alan Turing or Alonzo Church? On a "who is missing" list, I know everyone will always say "x is missing" but if we include bloggers Steve Yegge is more influential (and his rants will have longer lasting effect) than some of these while as the comments mention where is Anders Hejlsberg, Donald Knuth, Steve McConnell, Allan Kay etc. Also, for the list of "why are they on there, is there some sort of deal going on": Dion Almaer (just some writer on an Ajax tute site?) and Craig Newmark (craigslist???). Douglas Crockford, Jeff Atwood, Kathy Sierra and Scott Hanselman are all "maybe candidates" along with Steven Frank (who the author of this article says started a company who "make many amazing Mac applications. I would recommend buying more a(sic) less every one.") and Ben Goodger (worked on FF and Chrome).
