Hans Reiser in Court Today

Posted by Hemos on from the the-case-grinds-on dept.

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.

    I'm sure you'll find that our good friend Hans has no record of this ever taking place.

      She's in the lost+found. No big deal.

    He didn't directly kill her... He was trying to explain why reiserfs was better than ext4 and her head exploded.

    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.

    Hi, I'm Italian and I would like to know if there is a bank account to send the money. Thank you. Dear Friend,

    I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department BANK OF AFRICA .

    In my department we discovered an abandoned bank account you can use for your purpose. We won't charge you anything - in fact we will double your donations.

    Yours faithfully,

  9. Has she been found yet? by Opportunist · · Score: 4, Funny

    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.

  14. Dvorak couldn't freeze by Cid+Highwind · · Score: 3, Funny

    With a heart of ice and a head of solid granite, Dvorak is like +20 against cold. He'd just stumble out of the mountains months later with an implausible story about finding Apple's secret underground research facility (where they're developing the top-secret "Vista Ready" iMac) and how RMS, Google's black helicopters, and a troop of Mac fanboyscouts conspired to kill him...
