Pioneer To Release TiVo/DVD Burner Combo
TK-421 writes "According to an official Pioneer press release, 'Pioneer is revolutionizing home video recording with the introduction of the world's first DVD recorders featuring the TiVo service. These new recorders offer consumers the control provided by the easy-to-use TiVo service integrated with advanced DVD recording for the option of short-term storage on a hard drive or long-term archival of broadcast programming on DVD-R/RW discs.'" The options include both 80 and 120GB models, starting at a not-inexpensive $1199, and there's more information via a CNET News article.

not-inexpensive? I know slashdot editors aim for obscurity, but what's wrong with "expensive"?
I hereby announce that there will be litigation... ....Voting boot closed!!!!

... since if I had not just bought a Tivo last week, and a DVD recorder the month before, this would never have happened.

That's just not true... Tivo is practically just regular PC hardware.
All that is needed is much better _software_, and we should all know that can be done.
Slashdot gets worse every day... Pipedot: News for nerds, without the corporate slant
I don't see what this has to do with SCO. I read scodot.org for all the SCO news, not for some unrelated tosh about a piece of kit which is guaranteed to have the MPAA kicking your door down!

Are there any good long-term storage solutions? I'm talking on the order of decades, not years. Paper's done a pretty good job so far, but even that degrades, and it's a little hard to store digital information in an easily retrievable format on paper.
You young whippersnappers! Obviously, you're not old enough to remember punched cards and paper tape! Stores for decades, easily retrievable!

If you are Big company you may create a DVD-BURNER. But if you just Linux Hacker, may sued by one of the these companies because of the writing DVD Decoding program...

The heads of the MPAA executives exploded simultaneously today, for reasons unknown as of the time of this writing. Witnesses say they made a gurgling noise shortly before the intracranial blasts, just after being handed their daily printed media summary which included a digest of that day's Slashdot articles. Investigation continuing...
Deep at AMD headquarters, the intelligence report arrived.
"Here's the latest batch, sir."
"Hmm.. I see.. Hmm.. Oh! What's this?"
"It was a comment on Slashdot, sir. Someone used our notation for referring to the approximate speed of a microprocessor. But they didn't actually mention our name or the product's name. No unit of measurement or anything. Just a number with a postfix plus sign. And everyone knew what it meant. It was completely implicit."
The strategist smiled and pulled an Intel pin off a map, replacing it with the AMD pin. He leaned back in his chair and squinted at the map, nodding with satisfaction.
