Hans Reiser to Sell Company

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the will-order-bits-for-cash dept.

DVega writes "Due to increasing legal costs, murder suspect Hans Reiser is seeking to sell his company. His lawyer William DuBois said he is running out of money to pay for his defense. DuBois added, 'This is a unique opportunity for someone to buy the company for pennies on the dollar. We welcome all vultures.' This is a good opportunity to own a filesystem and rename it after your own."

    You could occasionally /give/ mod points for a good post (down-mods would also cost 1 karma).

    Mod points would have to be added to the system to make up for down-mods, but you'd be able to put right moderation injustice yourself!

    Ps. Mod parent up! :o)

    I'd propose that Hans was used in every way possible as she was murdered just after courts awarded custody of the kids to her. It may not be legal to kill your spouse when she gets preferential treatment from the legal system. But at rope's ends if there isn't any way left for his emotions to be let out. It depends on what has really happend there. It can't be justified, taking persons life, he probably had options.

    That leads me onto other question, I wonder how geeks deal with real world, extereme situations like that. What is dear to you, has been mutilated and tortured, what is your reaction.

    Only time will heal all this. And the kids are the ones who really pay between one or two beligerent adults.

    If sold pennies on the dollar, I hope someone who can take care of the codebase, can own the company.
