Slashdot Mirror
Hans Reiser Arrested On Suspicion of Murder
Many readers wrote about the arrest today of Hans Reiser, author of ReiserFS, by Oakland, CA police on suspicion of murdering his estranged wife. From the San Francisco Chronicle: "Hans Reiser, 42, was taken into custody at 11 a.m., hours after Oakland police and FBI technicians searched his home in the Oakland hills. His estranged wife, Nina Reiser, 31, has been missing since Sept. 3, when she dropped off the couple's son and daughter at his home on the 6900 block of Exeter Drive... Police made the arrest based on circumstantial evidence and have not found Nina Reiser's body, [Hans Reiser's attorney] Du Bois said. 'I have no idea what the circumstantial evidence is,' he said. 'When I hear what the evidence is against him, I'll make a decision as to whether he'll talk to them.'" kimvette writes, "While the disappearance (and possible murder) of his wife is tragic, Linux users will wonder where this will leave Reiser 4. If Reiser is found guilty, will Novell or IBM pick up the pieces and finish up Reiser 4 for inclusion in the kernel or is this the end of the Reiser filesystem project? Will there be any future for the Reiser filesystem, and if Hans is found guilty and the project is continued, will the project be renamed to avoid notoriety?"
I guess this means Reiser FS will never reach stability ... sigh
MurderFS ftw!!!
and not one has any substance or material about the case. That's sad. Just lame jokes.
Anyone have something of value? Is there any truth to these claims?
Slashdot, you suck. And to the mod who mods me down for saying so; that means you, personally.

Okay you nerd, geek, dork, slimey, jerk-off assholes, you've finally crossed the line. I'm simply shocked at the that in a matter of life and death you would even think to equate the importance of this piece of software that less than .005% of the population has heard of with someone's LIFE. And don't tell me about how this article wouldn't be up if it wasn't for the software. It's common moral and journalistic decency and respect to simply report the facts and allow people to jump to their own conclusions. I think I'm going to request to have my login deleted and boycott this site. I do not want to generate ad impression revenue to support you scummy dickless douchebags and your fanatical linux agenda anymore.
Most of the people who post jokes are showing heaps of humanity and respect for each other, their peers who read Slashdot, by demonstrating that even though there are murderers in the world, the majority of us are still not insane. That's comforting.
Do you actually think there is a single person on Slashdot who has never grieved over the loss of a loved one?
Who cares about a lil murder? I think his productivity for society far outweighs the negatives of removing one estranged wife that was probably past her 'normal' reproductive period anyways.
I vote we let him go free, regardless.
Even if he strikes again, so long as it is some statistic and not me, I could care less.
Not a sermon, just a thought. lol.
But how is this classified under "Your Rights Online"?

All psychopaths, lack the capability to feel guilt, thats why they commit murders in the first place. If you murder, and it's someone like your wife, chances are you are psycho, because you are right, the average person would never be able to kill their wife because they'd feel guilt, remorse, empathy, psychopaths don't feel this.
You can't.

We call these people psychopaths/sociopaths, and you know some of them, in fact some may be posting on this forum, you may even have family members and best friends who are psycho. Take a psychology course, educate yourself before you post on a subject as complicated as emotion. We don't all have the same emotions, not everyone feels guilt, or love, or hate, as each person has their own set of emotions, their own emotional profile.
Psychopaths in specific, they don't feel guilt or empathy for anyone.
>The victim has no part in the criminal justice system... they're too biased.
Would a load of hippy cr@p. The victim has EVERY part to be involved. THEY were
the one who suffered, not the rest of society , THEM. Understand? God almighty
I despair when I hear people like you , you're type are the reason the current
UK criminal system is a mess because bleeding hearts bend over backwards to do
empathise with the criminal instead of their victim. You make me sick.
Or you're pre-disposed to thinking all southerners are racist. Either one. But you're right about what you said, previous southerners were quite racist. Just don't use them to judge the current generation. And before you even say it, yes, there are racists in the south, just like there are anywhere else.
I hope they let him code in prison.
Fuck that guy. I hope they let him code a nice anal prison gang rape program every day.
