Combined DVD Burners Coming Soon

MonMotha writes "Sony recently announced plans to make a DVD burner capable of supporting both the - (DVD-R and DVD-RW) as well as the + (DVD+RW and DVD+R) standards for burnable DVD media. This move could spur the adoption of DVD burners, which have been poor sellers so far, partly due to the lack of a single standard for writable and rewritable media. The drive will not support the older DVD-RAM due to it's plastic casing."

    I'm not a troll by CmderTaco

    I used to think,
    I had the crapfloods for everything,
    but now I know
    that the mods don't always go my way, no

    Feels like I'm banned from posting in the middle
    that's when I'm realize

    I'm not a troll
    Not yet a crapster
    All I need is some fun
    a karma-whore account which is mine
    while I'm taco-snotting in between

    I'm not a troll,
    But if you look on my warts closely
    You will see it up my ass
    This orc will always find his way
    his own sweet way

    That was for you, my fans! I love you all, and remember! When you're having anal sex, watch out from corn kernels!

  5. STOP SLASHDOT CENSORSHIP by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Yo! Taco - time to rethink the censorship idea... Come on, this limit of 2 comments a day is FUCKING SILLY. Jeez, let the trolls have their say

    We dont take up much space in the database, and to be honest it was a troll's comment that first got me interested in slashdot - they *can* be funny sometimes you know!

    First they silenced the trolls, and I didnt complain because I wasnt a troll - who needs that crap anyway.
    Then they silenced the Mac users and I didnt complain because I wasnt a Mac user - fucking faggots
    Then they silenced the Windows users and I actually cheered about this one - fucking lamers
    Then they silenced the OS2 users, but no one even noticed
    Then they silenced the RedHat users because they are corporate sellouts anyway and only newbie wankers use redhat
    Then they came to silence me, and I realised I was the only one left (I run *BSD :)


    OK, All joking aside...

    STOP THE FUCKING CENSORSHIP NOW, BEFORE ITS TOO LATE, you (Taco) are a paranoid geek like all of us, and no matter how you justify this SHITE it is still censorship and may the god of warcraft3 smite you badly if you continue to pursue it.

    How will history remember you..... [hint - its always the last thing you put into action]

    When's the last time you saw a Jew blow themselves up along with women and small children?

    The Israelis have much better weapons in which to kill Palestinian children with. Weapons supplied by the US to the tune of $3 billion a year. Now if we were to also give the Palestinians $3 billion a year, they wouldn't be using suicide bombers to kill Israelis, they would be killing Israelis from afar with F-16's.

    Once you graduate grade school and are able to read, you will find that sharon is a butcher who has ordered the death of hundreds of Palestinian children. Sharon should be held accountable for his war crimes and tried before an international court. The UN has tried, but every attempt has been subverted by the US. What is the US covering up? Why the unconditional support of Israel? Why does the US condone the killing of Palestinian children by Israel?

    The Palestinian suicide bombers might be bad, but not nearly as bad as the US sponsered slaughter of palestinian children.
