Well the context of that acronym feels a bit strange, but I suppose it
fits.  I read it as Digital Video Recording.  Maybe the C* used O2s at
the time?  Or Octane SE+TRAMs w/ FC-AL and EVO cards?  Well, we can hope
that's how they did it.  Using a USB cam on a wintel book to record the
incident would just make it all the more depressing.
