In the News Linux guru and convicted murdered Hans Reiser was handed a prison sentence of 15-to-life Friday, putting a final capstone on a case that began as a murder mystery, and ended with Reiser leading police to a makeshift grave a short distance from where he strangled his wife.

..but he should have gotten a few years more.


Get with the program, WereCatf. From the user comments on that article:

"""

You really have to wonder about some people. He "thinks he speaks for the whole linux community". Now, while I'm not one to put on reverent and respectful airs and criticize others for daring to comment frankly upon, for example, what this whole drama means for Reiser4... and while I am, perhaps, too much of a Linux fan for my own good... how, how, how can people like "freereiser", above, maintain such a distorted perspective?
