I wanted to learn a little about Linux, filesystems, and so on. So I visited Wikipedia. Do you know who the main developer of the RieserFS file system was?

Wikipedia Wrote:
Hans Thomas Reiser (born December 19, 1963) is an American computer programmer, entrepreneur, and convicted murderer...

...On October 11, 2006, law enforcement officials said that blood spatter had been found in Hans Reiser's house and car. Forensic testing (including DNA analysis) could neither confirm nor rule out Nina Reiser as the source of the blood. Officials had not located the missing passenger seat of his car. They also indicated that they had found in the car two books on homicide investigation purchased by Reiser on September 8 — five days after his wife's disappearance: Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets, by David Simon, and Masterpieces of Murder, by Jonathan Goodman. Daniel Horowitz, a high-profile defense attorney, joined the defense team but dropped the case on November 28, citing Reiser's inability to pay for his services. Namesys's employees state that Reiser felt the police would suspect him from the start.

Have you recently learned something surprising or shocking?

ReiserFS, the filesystem you use to partition your wife.
- commonly used joke

It caused a bit of a stir because he was the only maintainer of ReiserFS, though these days, Btrfs has pretty much surpassed it.

Dunno about something on topic though.
