If two guys steal at the same time and one guy is thrown out does the other guy that made get credit for his steal?

No. His advancement is scored as a fielder's choice. If both runners steal and are safe, they are both credited with a stolen base.

Actually, the answer is no. It is the same is if they attempt to turn a double play and the lead runner is retired and the other runner is safe. The safe runner is not credited with a hit but rather a fielder's choice. The same rule applies for the double steal even if the safe runner were to steal home. If there are less than two outs, the run would count, but he/she would score on a fielder's choice.
I have had this happen many times during the games that I umpire.

The answer is no. If there is a runner on first and second and they both steal, the runner at third could be safe or out, but the runner at second does not get credit for the steal.

Yes, the guy who makes it to base safely gets credit for the steal while the runner thrown out gets hung with a CS (caught stealing)

Yes, in the event of a double steal they both get credit for a steal. if one guy gets thrown out he is caught stealing but the guy who is safe is credited with a stolen base.
i am positive of this, i am an umpire and a baseball traditionalist. I'm not a nerd but have read the 2007 baseball rules book

It's only a double steal (or a triple steal) if both (or all) runners are safe. If one is tagged out, the runner(s) who moved up successfully has (have) done so on a fielder's choice.
It's 10.07(d) of the rulebook.

Absolutely, if you're safe...you're safe... it's a steal for you.... as for the one who didn't make it... well, at least you got one out of the deal.... Then, I guess it would change from double steal to attempted double steal... But, the runner who is safe still gets credit for the swipe.

Angels did it against the Indians yesterday. With Jose Molina, a slow catcher on third and a faster runner on first, they sent the guy on first, the catcher threw, too late to second, and as the throw went to second, Molina took off for home, and made it. It is an exciting and very ballsy move.
