Linux Developer Hans Reiser Convicted Of First-Degree Murder.

What is that? Obviously I am not happy with the Reiser's wife murder; but this kind of red news has nothing to do with OSS or technology... there is a lot of more important stuff than such murder but seems than the buzz and cheap news are more important than technology (talkin' about informationweek).Edited 2009-01-01 05:43 UTC Thu, 01 Jan 2009 05:41:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (ebasconp) Comments RE: Out of place. http://osnews.com/thread?342090 http://osnews.com/thread?342090

How quickly starts the collective back-away from the "Reiser4 is the neatest thing since sliced bread" mindset. Reiser4 is dead. That very much does have to do with OSS and technology, and is a direct result of Hans' premeditated murder of his wife (with the kids upstairs), his painting programmers as social misfits to suit his own needs, and then his being exposed as a murderer and a liar who slandered the rest of us to try to save his own skin.

Number 8 is not out of place.

Note: The story link points to page 3 of the article.Edited 2009-01-01 06:11 UTC Thu, 01 Jan 2009 05:59:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (sbergman27) Comments RE[2]: Out of place. http://osnews.com/thread?342114 http://osnews.com/thread?342114 But shouldn't the item be "Reiserfs4 is dead" rather than "Linux Developer Hans Reiser Convicted Of First-Degree Murder". Of course, it's only big news if you ever considered raiserfs4 to be worth anything.
