thanks buddy ... :) Hope Beavis is doing ok :(
He's still hanging in there, Louise. Just like everyone these days, it seems.
Ellen Pao is #74. I wonder whether the KPCB scandal affected her placement on the list in either direction.
It's an alphabetical list, so nope. :)
Some day, someone will come out with a ranked list.
Till then, this is the most comprehensive list I've seen.
Update, August 28, 2012. Regarding #33 on the list, Shirley Hornstein.
This page was pointed to by TechCrunch -- Anthony Ha on @Shirls misrepresenting.

Catch her if you can.
Well, right now she's at the GOP convention according to SFist.
