ReiserFS creator arrested over missing woman

   Not to make fun of a serious situation -- maybe it's just one too many 
shots of Jägermeister tonight -- but I can't help but to comment:

   Well put lbm.  Ignoring forking or a project just "dying out" for any of 
number of reasons, let's summarize: In free software, your key author may be 
arrested for murder.  In commercial software, your company may go bankrupt or 
be bought out.

   Hmm, which is more likely to happen. :-)

Fast fact: According to former Wall St. Journal editor and Ronny Reagan's 
ass't secretary of the treasury, economist Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, the US 
manufacturing trade deficit is now twice the size of the US oil import bill.  
(And our economy is sustainable and doing well?!)
