RieserFS is a journalling filesystem that is excellent when dealing with small files under 4K in size. When used with tail-packing it is 10-15x faster then ext2/ext3. ReiserFS was first included in Linux kernel 2.4.1 and even used as default filesystem in SUSE Enterprise Linux and others. What many may not know is that Reiser killed, LITERALLY. The man behind this filesystem has been convicted of second degree murder for killing his wife. While this isn’t exactly breaking new it just goes to show you that extroverted geeks have it in them.

Really has nothing to do with being a geek, he is a human, and as humans we are all capable of the most despicable acts one can imagine.
Really too bad (not just for those involved), I liked using ReiserFS on my Maildir mail stores but support for the FS has really dropped out of style fast.
@Ryan – I agree with your point, I am simply trying to engage the stereotype that a “geek” is a harmless person that doesn’t have it in them to hurt a fly.
“extroverted” ?
Surely you mean “introverted”
@zcat. You are mostly correct, I did mean introverted.
