The Future of ReiserFS

lisah writes "With the announcement of Hans Reiser's arrest this week, many people have been wondering what this will mean for his company, Namesys, and the future of his filesystem work. According to a report at Linux.com, employees at Namesys are circling their wagons and plan to continue working on the project 'in the short term.' One employee admits, 'we are rather shaken and stressed at the moment, although I cannot say we didn't see it coming.'"

    Your boss is arrested for killing his wife, and nobody in the office is surprised? You know, I've worked in some pretty annoying companies before, but I've never been able to say that. Nor would I want to. If anyone else is in the same position, I strongly suggest that you get off your ass and jump ship. Low standards is one thing, but c'mon guys. I don't care how sweet their after-hours-pizza-reimbursement policy is, that's just fucked up.

      Perhaps they saw him sucker punch her at the company picnic and verbally abuse her with a few classic phrases like "I'm gonna kill ya bitch!" and the ever glamorous "why... won't... you... die?!?!".

    Because down here we ain't got no good judges.

    From the article:
    An examination of the trial transcript, witness statements, police reports and appellate briefs reveals something even more shocking.

    Except for an alleged motive, there was no evidence against Karage.

    "I couldn't believe it," says Lawrence Mitchell, one of the top criminal appellate attorneys in Dallas, who represented Karage on appeal. "There's not a shred of evidence he committed the crime. I don't know how Karen Greene came to the conclusion he was guilty. It's bad judging all the way through. I think a first-year law student would have seen he wasn't guilty. I have never seen a case this egregious."

    The project is GPL right, so it will go on anyways, perhaps a new name, but, that wouldn't be right either.

    Hans Reiser is not stupid.

    He's in jail, arrested for murder in a state which has the death penalty.
    That sounds terminally stupid to me.

    OK, bucky, I know you're trolling, but I'll bite:

    Yes, it's just a laugh a minute in Gitmo. Life in the 6x6 chainlink fence kennel is just a ball. No problem, you get 2 hours a day to stretch your legs. And the poor American taxpayer, imagine having to provide a rug! Of course, it's no fucking problem coughing up $2 BILLION a week for a fucking retarded worse-than-useless war that can have no positive outcome for anyone. That has killed 3000 US soldiers and maimed a hell of a lot more. That has destroyed whatever moral highground the US still had, and has served to galvanize hatred for the US all over the world.

    Let's not forget that most of these pampered pets (or "pieces of shit" - whatever) at Gitmo have had no charges brought against them, and were simply sold to "Coalition" forces for the bounty. We damn well better feed 'em and give 'em a rug. The whole thing is a shame and disgrace to our country.

    I don't know if you were serious, but to the extent that you were, you are no patriot. You are, in fact, a fact-twisting, lying, sack of shit asshole. Just like your neocon buddies in Washington.

    Give us all a break with your bullshit. We got it already - you love Bush...you don't HAVE to allow your blind worship of that moron to absolutely warp your small mind.

    NOTE: If you were kidding, so am I.

    What kind of junior-league ignorance is this, do you not read the news? Just because it's written down somewhere doesn't mean shit.
