Reiser, known in scheduling circles for his ReiserFS computing machine data file system, concluded testimony in the lawsuit when he was recalled to the base to speak about his computing machine difficult drives.

A computing machine expert who studied the thrusts last hebdomad testified Monday he did not happen anything linking Reiser to Nina Reiser's disappearance. However, the expert, Kyle Ritter, said he could not utilize automated programmes to analyse some of the files, and he didn't have got clip to make so manually.

Reiser testified there was nil on either difficult thrust implicating him in Nina Reiser's disappearance, and said, "This whole thing is silly."
