Hans Reiser To Reveal Location of Wife's Body
dlgeek writes "The story of Hans Reiser is well known to all Slashdotters by now. Some still placed doubts about the conviction, stating that he might be innocent. It now seems that all doubt has been quelled, since Alameda County District Attorney Thomas Orloff has revealed that Hans Reiser will disclose the location of Nina's body for a reduced sentence.
The deal is not yet finalized, though. 'There's been some overtures,' Orloff said, 'But everything is in its preliminary stage.' The deal would reduce his conviction from first degree to second degree murder. In addition, an anonymous source close to the situation said that 'the only real leverage he has is if he can provide a body. He really doesn't have any options left. Even if he won a retrial somehow, he'd likely be convicted.'"
Hans Geiger was a Nazi and betrayed his Jewish Collegues.
Heisenberg also worked for the Nazi's and attempted to build a Nuclear bomb. That one however is debatable. He later claimed he was secretly sabotaging the project.
I think what will have to happen is ReiserFS will need to change its name. Once they do that then ithey will be able to move the project forward.
Don't forget Werner Von Braun. He used slave labor to build the V2, was an SS officer, etc. But, without his help after the war, the U.S. probably would have never gotten to the moon.

Albert Einstein didn't name his theories after himself.
But after reading the article, the summary is highly deceptive. The article basically says that Hans needs to reveal the location of the body if he wants a reduced sentence.
It doesn't say he will. The judge is just assuming that Hans will do that to reduce the sentence.
The summary is deceiving dude. The judge just speculates he's going to reveal the location for a reduction of sentence.
There's seriously nothing saying Hans even knows where it is.
Well. he seemed to think we might, as Einstein himself said: ( http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein )
By an application of the theory of relativity to the taste of readers, today in Germany I am called a German man of science, and in England I am represented as a Swiss Jew. If I come to be represented as a bête noire, the descriptions will be reversed, and I shall become a Swiss Jew for the Germans and a German man of science for the English! (To The Times (London), November 28, 1919, quoted in The New Quotable Einstein by Alice Calaprice, 2005, ISBN 0-691-12075-7)
Everyone should be assumed innocent... by the justice system and the jury. I'm allowed to think whatever I want as a private citizen.
E pluribus unum
Its almost like the person writing the summary didn't even read the article, but then the article itself has a badly written headline. The D.A. said that Reiser *might* disclose the location of the body for a reduced sentence. So this is nothing more than speculation at this point.
You should RTFA. It doesn't say that he's confessed. Yet, at least. And it doesn't say that's he's offered to lead the DA to the body. Clearly the Wired reporter that wrote the story is used to writing technical articles, not articles about murder and the legal system.
The modern body of medical knowledge about how the human body reacts to freezing to the point of death is based almost exclusively on these Nazi experiments. This, together with the recent use of data from Nazi research into the effects of phosgene gas, has proved controversial and presents an ethical dilemma for modern physicians who do not agree with the methods used to obtain this data.[17] Similarly, controversy has arisen from the use of results of biological warfare testing done by the Imperial Japanese Army's Unit 731.[29] However, the results from Unit 731 were kept classified by the United States and the majority of doctors involved were given pardons.[30]

Name ONE piece of evidence that is "undisputed fact" that it was planted. Just one.
There's plenty: the blood on the sock that had (i) police anticoagulant on it and (ii) left the exact mark and shape of an essay tube being applied against a folded sock.
The blood on the ford bronco, which was so clearly planted the prosecutors did not even mention in the trial, and the list goes on and on.
but you seriously have to turn off your brain to think OJ was innocent
What was I saying about people divided by color refusing to listen to each other? If you read my posting again you'll see that it claims he's clearly guilty. You seem to miss the fact that it is perfectly possible to be guilty and have evidence planted on you. Lazy policemen do that all the time to shorten the investigation time. In this case they got caught, that is the only difference.
But they did themselves no favors by embracing OJ.
Oh, I agree. By the same token whites did themselves no favors by refusing to acknowledge that the LAPD is a corrupt and racist police department that got caught planting evidence on a black person, which in this particular case happened to be both famous and guilty.
In other words, black people need to take responsibility for their part in perpetuating racism.
How about you: are you willing to take responsibility for your part in tolerating racism within the LAPD, which has been repeatedly caught planting evidence and doing other racist actions?
Curiously, in C++, that definition would be invalid, even if the underlying implementation of NULL was in fact not 0.
:D
C++ has several rather odd requirements for NULL that basically come down to the following:
NULL is defined as 0, no discussion.
0, as a constant, has special behavior allowing it to be implicitly cast to any pointer type, where it will be a "NULL value" that is distinct from any valid pointer, but is not guaranteed to take any particular bit pattern.
Testing a pointer in a conditional, or casting it to bool implicitly or explicitly, results in true if the pointer is not a "NULL value" or false if it is.
The end result is that you can end up treating 0 as NULL, and treating a null pointer as 0, right up until you decide to muck about with direct memory access, at which point that all goes out the window.
Essentially, int *x = NULL; if(x) fail(); is guaranteed to not fail, while int *x = NULL; int y; memcpy(&y, &x, sizeof(y)); if(y) fail(); is not guaranteed to not fail (even if x and y are the same size.) Also, NULL == 0 is always true, and int *x = NULL; x == 0 is also always true.
As I understand it, C doesn't pin things down quite this firmly, but in the end it gives some of the same guarantees. I suspect that definition of NULL isn't technically conforming to the C language spec, though I wouldn't bet money on it - I don't know C minutiae as well as I do C++.
Now you know more about NULL in C++ than you ever really wanted to.
