Re:Stupid DVD requirement (Score 2, Insightful)

The DVD burner is indeed the biggest downfall of the whole scheme. Especially when you take into consideration the fragility and power usage of optical drives. Last time i checked (30 seconds ago) you can get usb pen drives for under $5 on ebay. Find your local china town and hit up the shady computer stores were you can wheel and deal. The weight would be minimal, mailing price the same as a standard letter, reusable medium, rugged, and low power consumption. Combine that with an XO and you're rockin'!
