This page is dedicated to the memory of a man who is rotting away in jail for the next 15 years, courtesy of a corrupt legal system and a bunch of meritophobes. His gift to the world was the series of Reiser filesystems, but perhaps more importantly, the basic idea that a single person from "outside the establishment" can devise something that's better than the best the establishment can do. He's one of the many people who were put on our planet in order to remind us that Meritophobia can easily destroy our world. I guess I'm happy I'm not one of them, since it's really gotta suck coming down here from heaven just to have to live through this, this and this. We need to learn how to appreciate God's gifts, rather than shoving them off our windshield when we bump into them, and then when they fall, getting out of the car with a club and beating them to death.
