Hans Reiser in Court Today

An anonymous reader writes "Hans Reiser has pled not guilty to murdering his wife and invoked his right to a speedy trial. He will attend a hearing today where the judge will decide if the state has a case " We had covered this story back when it had first broke; and for those of you playing catch-up, Hans is the author of ReiserFS.

    In addition, police said the couple's son said he overheard his parents arguing on the day Nina Reiser disappeared. The boy, who was playing video games in the basement at the time, said his father told him not to come up from the basement, police said.

    See, there's no reason to fear abandonment of the Reiser FS if this dude gets locked up.

    I mean, seriously, anyone who's ever touched Reiser knows that there are things that go missing from time to time, but sometimes they reemerge without you doing anything whatsoever. Maybe they should just sit there and wait, maybe rearrange a few pieces of furniture and I bet she'll suddenly and mysteriously appear in the middle of the living room.

    Yes, I do agree, we need a "tasteless" tag.

    Here in America, most technologically advanced country in the world, we have transcended your silly electronic transfer systems. Instead, we write the amount of money we wish to send on little rectangular pieces of paper, which we then send to the person to whom we'd like to send the funds, who takes it to their bank, who forwards it back to the original person's bank, who transfers the funds electronically. It's quite state-of-the-art, I assure you.
