They have some extremely impressive names on the list of people taking part:
Tim Bray, who created he XML specification Michael Gartenberg, an extremely influential industry analyst John Gruber, who writes the great Daring Fireball blog Andy Hertzfeld, one of the original Macintosh dev team, and the list goes on!
Actually, looking at the terms, I may have made a mistake. TV.com is now part of the CNET network and so is governed by the CNET Networks Terms of Use.
The Terms and Conditions states that you grant CNET Networks a licence to use your information any way they see fit, but the licence is nonexclusive. Therefore, the users who contributed the information at TVTome (or TV.com) could add that information to the TVIV Wiki too. However, proving who was the copyright holder of a paragraph, which was originally written by one person, then modified by, say three others, would probably make this too complicated to work on a large scale.
The only appeal that this may have is that it is a wiki so users can update as they see fit. Unfortunately, most of the time, you get what you pay for.
TV.com is free to use, and you can edit most of the information as if it was a wiki. It's the advertising and interface that sucks...
Probably not, as I'd be willing to bet that when you submitted that information you signed your copyright over to TVTome, agreed by you in the Terms & Conditions of the site. Sorry...
The specs could easily be lost over a long period of time, and it's very hard to reverse engineer algorithms from scratch (given that in 100 years, newer and more optimal algorithms than, LZW will be used). It's predicted that the only image format that will still be around in 100 years is ppm, simply because it only takes about half an hour to implement from scratch!
I don't really see what companies like HP can do apart from streamline their business as much as possible, if they want to go down the same 'box-pushing' route as Dell. Even their printer business is being pushed hard by manufacturers such as Epson, who are willing to give up Linux and Mac compatibility just to lower prices even further.
Firstly, it's 16 Gigabit, not Gigabyte, so you won't be seeing a 32GB Nano any time soon.
Next, the 2GB has Toshiba Flash Memory Soldered to the board, whereas the 4GB has a daughterboard with 2x2GB Samsung chips. Therefore, it is possible that someone will reelase an upgrade to the 4GB Nano at some point in the future, but Apple may well have disabled support in the (closed) Nano sofware for flash support above 4GB in the current generation.
Except that, due to idiotic manufacturers' policies, you will probably only be able to have 100 songs on your 8GB Flash Card, and then not be able to use them as ring tones...
Just in case you needed/wanted more information about the space flight, the ever useful Wikipedia has this handy titbit:
Among the experiments to be performed on the flight will be one involving the sperm of pigs from Rongchang County in Chongqing. About 40 grams will be carried both inside and outside the spacecraft, allowing scientists to investigate the affects of microgravity and cosmic rays on the sperm. It will be used to fertilise pig ovum at the Chongqing Academy of Animal Husbandry Science.

Still, it's quite sad that someone would spend their time taking down other people's servers, in order that a third party makes money, and then go to jail. Personally, it's hard to really see how people can end up in that situation.
As far as I am concerned, the person who ordered the hits, Jay Echouafni should be in jail and the hacker should get help to find something more worthwhile to do with his time.
Yes, it's called a Mac mini - when you run the mini you don't even need to turn your old computer on. So no fan noise...

Firstly, he is specifically talking about the OS X Finder (comparing it to the OS 9 Finder) and complaining about its design.
To understand the basic complaint about the OS X Finder look at this ArsTechnica article.

The interviewee argues that WebObjects is still relevant, and the fastest way of coding Web Applications, but is in danger of becoming irrevelevant if Apple do not update it soon!

It just goes to show that when you have physical access to a computer, the security's already broken...
And so another Apple rumour begins...
Tim Bray, who created he XML specification
Michael Gartenberg, an extremely influential industry analyst
John Gruber, who writes the great Daring Fireball blog
Andy Hertzfeld, one of the original Macintosh dev team, and the list goes on!
Or possibly some beautiful Watermelon Art from the same talented guy...

No WiMax. Less songs than a shuffle. Lame.

Well, something better to do with his time, or possibly psychiatric help...

Look at this timeline and tell me who had the idea first.
I think every laptop I have ever owned is basically a very similar variant of that simple design! Way to go Apple.
But considering US has 4.5 times as many people - the fact that the UK is that high at all is very worrying.
