The disc size is 12cm, comparable to that of a DVD and a CD.

The key word is COMPARABLE. English. Learn it. Love it. Live it. ;P

Damn straight

Personally, I just want to know when I can buy a burner.

200GB LTO tapes just don't cut it any more. Seriously. Trying to move terabytes at a time with ten or twenty tapes is a real bitch. Never mind relying on I2 to transfer that amount of data in a short time span. A 1GB disc would be a Godsend for those of us doing data intensive applications. --M

Hehehe... I tried your "man woman" thing and got this:

$ man woman
No manual entry for woman

I guess digital coitus is off limits? The real question is: who is doing the manual entry and who is being entered? ;P

Oooh! Yay! I can hardly wait for the VHS vs. Betamax-style format wars to begin!

You'll only need 3 of them

That sounds like the kind of sweet goodness I've been looking for. Now... I just need to upgrade my home network to machines with SATA interfaces.

You RTFA. I didn't. :) So let's blame it on the original submitter and we can both be happy.
