Oh how funny that back during Katrina allot of people mostly Democrats was saying that Federal Troops should have been in Lousiania on Day one
You are quite wrong. Both Democrats and Republicans from all three states said they did not want martial law and federal troops. They wanted FEMA and their state National Guard which had been stolen by Bush to send to Iraq.
See, in my view your economy's only chugging along nicely because your government's running up astronomical debts without a thought for how they'll ever be repaid.
This is so true, and Republicans hide from it. It is the most onerous tax they could have imposed on us, the birth tax, our debts that our children and their children for generations inherit at birth.
But, trust me, they did not do this thinking Democrats would replace them. They like to think that cutting off taxes will "starve the beast", that is, starve the government they hate, but Republicans just borrowed money to feed the beast instead, and passed it on to future generations as their legacy. Not to mention everthing they did to the Constitution.
Before the president can sign a bill, it has to get passed by both houses of congress. It's one of the least stealthy processes on the planet.
And once a bill has been passed by Congress, the president normally signs it. To refuse to sign it is the exceptional event. So why does this writeup make it sound like Bush magically created this law himself?
This was rated Insightful. The Republicans magically created this in the middle of the night. They have one of the most stealthy processes on the planet when it comes to sneaking provisions into law. In fact, this was almost certainly written up by the White House and ordered to be inserted, and only a few staffers and a leader or two were involved. Even Republucans from the South would have filibusted this had they known. That would have been insightful.
You mean to tell me that NO Democrat and NO Republican read the bill, and after the bill was passed they found out what they voted for?
Republican leaders routinely withhold the bill and what they have slipped into it until the vote. Democrats routinely note for the record that they have no idea what is in the bill that is up for vote, but given that the vote includes something huge, like money for our troops, to vote against it because they don't know what's in it is to be branded a traitor.
Just like they do in Russia. Republicans are getting it down pat.
This probably has more to do with the hurricanes and winter storms. During Katrina, the Feds were criticised for *not* bringing in the defence force to render aid.
This was rated Insightful, but the state's National Guard is supposed to be used to handle natural disaster. The Feds, that is, Bush and the Republican neocons, have "federalized" the National Guard into the Army with a backdoor draft, and gutted FEMA, so that there was nothing left to deal with Katrina, deliberately so.
Instead, Bush Republicans want to declare martial law and send the Army into American streets. Let your thoughts on that be known November 7. That will be insightful.
she's sucking $8000/month alimony out of him... nbc11.com
This is weird reporting. From the www.nbc11.com article Hans Reiser's Software Could Be Phased Out:
According to sources close to the investigation, Reiser had to pay $8,000 in alimony a month to Nina Reiser.
Sources also told NBC11 that Hans Reiser was seen walking around town with several thousand dollars in cash and his passport.
end quote
The divorce wasn't final. Do you pay alimony while you're separated? Other articles report that he was to share child expenses with his estranged wife, and that she filed with the court that he hadn't paid it. The exact amount was not reported, but it wasn't alimony.
The $8,000 per month, if it actaully is based on anything true, could be all the monthly bills that the family had, including the mortgage of their home that he no longer lived in, but even with that $8,000 is extreme.
Also, how does one see someone walking around town with several thousand dollars and a passport? Were they sticking out of his pocket protector?
ReiserFS v3 is a dead end. Hans has been pushing reiser4 for years now and declared Reiser3 in maintenance mode. Any changes that aren't bug fixes are met with violent resistance.
Actually, in this area I don't know that 100K is all that bad
It was $170K that he blogged he was in the hole, and there was a reference to him living there for 25 years, so it doesn't appear that the $170K included a mortgage.
Personally, I'm having a hard time understanding how Hans would have been able to do this without his children seeing what was going on, but without knowing all the facts, it's hard to draw a conclusion.
There are other cases like this as in, for example, Sue Ann Ray in the Atlanta area. The guy leaves his estranged wife's vehicle somewhere looking like she went shopping after dropping something off at his house, but she in fact had never made it out of his house alive.
In this case it looks to me like he left the children with his mother at home after she dropped them off and followed his estranged wife to the supermarket and attacked her similar to the murder of college student Dru Sjodin in a mall parking lot in North Dakota.
Several bags of groceries were found in her minivan, however, I saw no mention of anyone such as a checkout clerk in the store saying they saw her. It could have been after she came out, or he could have bought the groceries to place her at the supermarket, which is the critical piece of making it look like a stranger attacked her in a parking lot, such as for example Tracey Tetso whose car was found in a parking lot in Baltimore.
In all these cases the women disappear, and the ex ain't talking. Unfortunately, the site is full of them.
The article said there were groceries in the van. It did not say that they were bought after she left Hans's house.
This is a really good point. And it's true her blood was found in his house. However, due to the missing front passenger seat of his car, it appears that's where the murder took place, most likely when she came out of the store back to her minivan from shopping.
I would also expect to see the receipt in one of the bags or her purse, and it would be unusual if it weren't there. No mention one way or the other on that.
Does anyone else find it strange that she dropped off the kids and THEN disapears? The kids are little. I doubt that Hans would or could leave little kids alone long enough to follow her, kill her and dispose of the body. Even if he grabbed her at the door, the kids would see it. You can't have witnesses to something like this and expect to stay out of jail. And for him to do something like this requires planning (premeditation). From my experience as a divorced dad, dropp-offs are too unpredictable. Even a few minutes different in planned drop-off time, which happens frequently, can throw off a plan. He'd have to get rid of a body, murder weapon, CAR, remove evidence from his house of altercation and al kinds of stuff.
His mother lived with him. He would have had to leave the kids and his mother at home after they were dropped off and go to the grocery store parking lot and wait on his wife to come out from shopping.
There is no indication that the children can vouch that he stayed home with them after they were dropped off, otherwise he would have an alibi. It's a given that an alibi from his mother cannot be counted upon, given her participation in seeking custody of the children.
You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to allow your attorney to examine your "interpretation" and present it as best as (s)he can to a jury. What point is there in helping build a charge against yourself?
The point of helping to find his missing wife, or not.
Presumably he has the greatest motive as well, but that's neither here nor there; he cannot deflect suspicion from himself by claiming his motives were contrary, or that the motive was not sufficient, because presumptively we are looking for somebody who thinks abnormally.
This analysis is entirely wrong. Motive is everything in the cases of missing ex-wives, and the thinking is unfortunately logical in the attempt to be successful, not abnormal.
Based on his history, he is waaaaaaaaaaaay to smart and knows what would happen if his wife dissapeared.
More importantly, he knew what would happen if she didn't disappear. A court date for non-payment of child support was coming up, and he was $170K in the hole, broke and bitter.
The divorce wasn't final, and if she disappears not only does he no longer have child support payments to her, but possibly collects a life insurance policy on her. See Scott Peterson. Laci Peterson's disappearance is covered on http://www.justiceforchandra.com/ also.
Another disturbing thing is you'll see in many of these articles that the police claim Reiser was the last one to see his wife. However, the facts of the state that she went shopping after she left his house; her car was found with the groceries she bought. Clearly then, he was not the last person his wife, as the checker at the supermarket obviously interacted with her. I dont see how the story works: she drops the kids at his house, she goes shopping, and then..how does he end up killing her? He has the kids with him..at home..she's on the road. When does he have the opportunity to kill her?

A person like Hans, who has the intelligence and persistence (no pun intended) to put together a complicated and successful OSS project is smart enough to know that there's no way in hell he's going to get away with murdering his wife with whom he is waging a custody battle.
I've got a site full of missing women cases that says otherwise.
We're thinking about throwing Java out. It has the same problems with 'synchronisation' that C has with 'memory allocation'. You can't get it right all the time, it's too hard.
Is there already something in mind if you do? Some kind of CASE tool with modelling that you mention?
I've re-written the same applications dozens of times, sometimes because my code is unreadable, sometimes just for fun to find a new way to do it, and occasionally because it's so easy that it's actually faster than spending 2 minutes finding the previous version.
This would only be considered Score 4, Informative on/. Anywhere else it would be considered Score -4, Idiotic.
