New DVD Burners To Double Capacity

Posted by simoniker on from the more-data-more-problems dept.

clester writes "CNN reports that new dual-layer DVD-burning drives will be released very soon by Philips and Sony that will double the capacity of DVD drives, making a complete copy of your dual-layer DVDs theoretically possible. It will use dual layer technology that will hold up to 8.5GB, and will cost around $230 for an internal and $330 for external, burning all 8.5GB in approximately 45 minutes."

      I have a question..... if moderators get in a mod war between +1, Funny and -1, Anything else..... is it possible for the person's karma to just get lower and lower or does it ignore an "overall karma" (disregarding funny since it doesn't count) of -1?
