HP Introduces DVD Recorder

Posted by Hemos on from the hurm-maybe-time-to-buy dept.

NecroPuppy writes "Hewlett-Packard is introducing the first commercially available DVD recorder, according to this. According to the article, it will be on store shelves in September, and list for $599, and uses the DVD+RW standard." Well, now that I've just bought the supposed to be awesome CD burner from TG (end plug), it might be time to pick this up come September. It'll make backing up a lot easier - since I don't have the Linus method of backing-up.

    People with regular accounts are starting conversations that are *ON-TOPIC* before the story even hits the front page! Slashdot has degenerated into a laughingstock, I'm sorry to say.

      There have always been articles which never make the front page. See the "sections" section to the left of the main page??

      Someone mod this up as Insightful for fucks sake, this is one of the most coherent, non-drivel laced, least annoying posts I have ever read on Slashdot.


      Really, the author of this post summed up myriad of emotions in a mere 5 sentences. He told a spellbinding epic, from the Fall of the House of Usheresque first line to the jaw dropping conclusion it reads like the masterpiece that it is. Suspense, thrill, overwheling joy and great sadness. This piece has it all.


      Give it up you moderators, this is the real deal.

    At one point, Linus had implemented device files in /dev, and wanted to dial up the university computer and debug his terminal emulation code again. So he starts his terminal emulator program and tells it to use /dev/hda. That should have been /dev/ttyS1. Oops. Now his master boot record started with "ATDT" and the university modem pool phone number. I think he implemented permission checking the following day.
