Guilty: Hans Reiser

Postby MM_Dandy » Mon Apr 28, 2008 11:04 pm

After a 6 month trail, including 11 days of testimony by the defendant, and almost 3 days of jury deliberation, prolific Linux programmer Hans Reiser has been convicted of first degree murder of his wife, Nina.

Wired blog.

The blog something about a video of the sentencing, but I don't have speakers on the machine I'm at currently.

I guess it is probably a good idea to switch over from reiserfs to ext3 now?

Yeah, it's not looking so good, according to Wikipedia.

Not that I necessarily think the technology will die. Somebody might continue to support it after Namesys (perhaps even Namesys), but the uncertainty of if or when that happens might be enough to convince me to switch.

Edited to Add: On the other hand, it may just become support-at-large
or something like that. Right now, it seems that Edward Shishkin is carrying the baton. So, there's hope.
