John McAfee Accused of Murder, Wanted By Belize Police
New submitter thn writes "John McAfee, who started the antivirus software giant named after him, has been accused of murder in Belize and is wanted. McAfee had taken to 'posting on a drug-focused Russian message board...about his attempts to purify the psychoactive compounds colloquially known as "bath salts,"' Gizmodo wrote. The scariest aspect of this story may be the fact that an entire lab was constructed for John McAfee's research purposes. Because of his efforts to extract chemicals from natural chemical plans McAfee was able to justify his experiments in a country that is largely unregulated."
You make a good point. Other sources are picking up the story, but they all come back to Gizmodo. Can it be? Did Gawker *gasp* actually get a scoop on something?
These guns found in the McAfee place and this Luger 9mm do have similarities to the untrained eye.

Forget McAfee. I want a movie about Henry Nicholas of Broadcom. Henry was living large: drugs, prostitutes, secret sex lair being built under his house while his family lived in it.. It's as though he was living his life just to make a crazy movie about it.
McAfee? I don't want to watch a movie about some some guy that is obsessed with taking drugs rectally.

And the link between the murder, and bath-salts is.... The hysteria in the U.S. over recreational drug use is amazing. For example, all the news stories about Johnny Lewis mentioned police speculation that he was on the drug "smiles" when he went berserk, despite there being no evidence whatseover of this. e.g. http://abcnews.go.com/US/actor-johnny-lewis-suspected-taking-drug-smiles-killings/story?id=17346564 Time and time again, these speculative drug links make a big splash in the media, and then by the time they prove false, no one cares. I would have thought Slashdot was a bit more into looking at the evidence before making wild speculation, but apparently not.

Are you asserting the defining body for a term is an organization bearing the same name? Then "democracy" means "whatever is on the Democrat's platform" and republican government means one ruled by Republicans, right?

The reason reiserFS went the way it did is because nobody around understands it the way Hans did (mathematically) that can also do the programming work...
Eh, no. The thing you may not realize is that Hans Reiser wasn't even the primary author on later versions. He hired Russian programmers willing to work cheap, and seemed focused on being The Globetrotting Wheeling Dealing Genius In Charge rather than coding anything himself. Also, this lone genius mythology about ReiserFS possessing some kind of ineffable brilliance which only Reiser could understand needs to go away. Plenty of people understood every single concept in ReiserFS.
