Posted by simoniker on from the geek-toys-get-cooler dept.

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.

    RMS: Hi! Your program 'bash' is pretty good. How would you like to be the official shell of the GNU system.

    bash guy: Um, well, ok, why not?

    RMS (to the world): bash is part of the GNU toolchain. GNU is the best. Everything is GNU. GNU includes 1000 software packages. Without GNU you wouldn't exist.

    Maybe "not-inexpensive" is another sample of George W. Bush's new style of the english language (aka. a Bushism). I've heard some of the new words so many times now that when I think of the word no more "Invalid Grammer" exceptions are thrown in my brain! Once, I almost used a Bushism in a sentence! Fortunately, I caught myself before I said anything.

    Here's a sample from this website.

    'They misunderestimated me.'

    'Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?'

    'Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream.'
