Law and Order In October 2006, Hans Reiser, creator of the ReiserFS filesystem, was arrested under the suspicion of the murder of his wife, Nina, who had disappeared off the face of the earth after dropping their two children off at Hans' home. The two were divorced, and fighting a legal battle over ownership of the Namesys company and the custody of their children. Even though the body was never found, he has been declared guilty of first degree murder.

Mental note: Incinerate bodies and bury weapons well in secret. That makes me innocent.

Is it not possible that Hans Reiser is just an evil, murdering son of a bitch? Is it not possible that someone who rips seats out of his car, washes the car floor out (!?), carries a mess of cash around, and so forth, MIGHT JUST BE GUILTY?

All I keep reading in this case amounts to, "He looks completely guilty, therefore he must not be because it is far more enlightened to just believe the whole system has a 100% failure rate."

Sounds like a guilty, murdering, lying SOB who deserves to rot.


Yes he is a guilty, murdering, lying SOB, but it seems the loonies do not care. I am sure if he was the author of FAT32 or WinFS this same crowd would be screaming for a public stoning.
