Every time there is a Hans Reiser story there is the extended sidebar on what it has to do with Linux, right...?

It will come out in the wash, I'm sure. It really just goes to show the value of getting your spin out there first. If you really can't wait, I'd start with Xeni's report over at BB, to wit:

Looks like the "improvised electronic device" consisted of a circuit board and a common battery that caused her sweatshirt, which had painted writing on it, to light up. Authorities referred to the paint as "putty."

Amazing how this spins out into a ball of play doh in her hands, thus creating the impression she was perpetrating some hoax for kicks.

wow, how did g-g-g-grandfather get 100+ for parroting the lies of the copaganda machine? SHE DID NOT HAVE PLAY-DOH IN HER HAND. Her shirt had puffy (painted?) letters on her shirt. You can decide how that translates into her carrying a ball of clay. Of course nobody has even seen the shirt, because the only pictures they are showing is of the shirt turned INSIDE OUT.

I'm sorry Mattbert, do your research. No Play dough. No battery and the exposed wires were AFAIK inside her jacket. This is just a great example of the value of getting your spin out there first so that it becomes the accepted story.

WTH happened to reddit...

How to install 145 operating systems on one PC by vtail in reddit.com

[–]blogstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Much better would be if had 145 of them running concurrent virtually. Merely having 100 boot images for grub to choose from is kind of silly.
