DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT
Thanks to very good recent publicity, the Distributed Proofreading
project has greatly accelerated its pace. Please visit the site:
http://texts01.archive.org/dp for more information about how you can
help, by scanning just a few pages per day.
If you have a book that has been scanned but have not yet run through
OCR (optical character recognition) please email pg@aldarondo.net
with information -- they'd be happy work on it.
Also, DP is seeking public domain books not already in the
Project Gutenberg collection. To see what is already online, visit
http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL (a text file), since the
online database doesn't reflect recent additions. Please email
charlz@lvcablemodem.com if you have books to send, or simply send them
(note that DP generally chops books to scan them, and usually does not
return scanned books).

Do you have Public Domain books your would like to see in the archive?
Can they be destructively scanned? If so send them to the Distributed

--WHERE TO GET EBOOKS
http://promo.net/pg (aka http://www.gutenberg.net) allows searching by
title, author, language and subject. Mirrors (copies) of the complete
collection are available around the world.
http://www.promo.net/pg/list.html can get you to the nearest one.
These sites and indices are not instant, as the cataloguing needs to be
done by our professional Chief Cataloguer. . .who is half way around the
world for the next week or three. . .so this is more important than usual.
--"INSTANT" ACCESS TO EBOOKS
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download
site (or a mirror) if you know the filename you want. Try:
http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext04
or
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext04
and look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that updated
eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99, etext00, etc.)

Statistical Review
In the first 51 weeks of this year, we have produced 2,336 new eBooks.
Note: it took us from 1971 to 2000 to produce our *FIRST* 2,336 eBooks!!!
That's 51 WEEKS as Compared to 29 YEARS!!!
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks of
production, each production-week starting/ending Wednesday noon,
starting with the first Wednesday in January. January 2nd was
was the first Wednesday of 2002, and thus ended the production
year of 2001 and began the production year of 2002.
With 6,583 eBooks online as of December 18, 2002 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $1.52 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is only about 1.59 percent of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $2.36 when we had 4232 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine 6,000 books each costing $.77 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine 6,000 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 6583 eBooks in 31 1/2 Years We Averaged
209 Per Year [About how many we do per month these days!]
17 Per Month
.6 Per Day
At 2283 eBooks Done In 2002 We Averaged

Headlines From Newsscan
[WARNING!!!]
POP-UP ADS 'KICK THROUGH'
Pop-up ads are becoming increasingly annoying, and the latest twist will
make it harder for Web users to simply ignore them. A new technique called
"kick through" enables advertisers to direct a person to another Web site
if they simply move their cursor across the ad -- no clicking is necessary.
Many people are complaining that the new ads are overstepping the
boundaries of an already intrusive form of online advertising. "When I
tried to close the window it kicked me to the site, which is really
annoying when I have six windows open and three of which were not by my own
doing," says one irate victim. Orbitz, which appears to be the only
advertiser currently using the kick through, defends its strategy: "The
enormous success for Orbitz is directly related to these pop-unders.
There's an enormous segment of the population that are appreciating these
ads," says Mark Rattin, creative director for Otherwise, which devised the
ads for Orbitz. He says there's only a 30% chance that viewers will be
kicked through to the Orbitz site by rolling over the ads. (CNet News.com

RUSSIAN FIRM CLEARED IN U.S. COPYRIGHT CASE
ElcomSoft Co. Ltd., based in Moscow, has been found not guilty of criminal
charges that it violated the 1998 U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act by
selling a software program designed to circumvent the digital locks used to
enforce copyright protections on Adobe Systems e-book software. The
two-week trial was the first criminal prosecution under the controversial
DCMA, which prohibits the sale of technology that can be used to break the
code that "locks" digitally formatted movies, music and other software. The
case hinged on whether ElcomSoft had "willfully" violated U.S. law, an
intent the defendants denied. "They never intended to violate the law,"
said defense attorney Joseph Burton. ElcomSoft president Alexander Katalov
pointed out that the program was legal in Russia and was not meant to be
used for electronic books that had not been legally purchased. He said he
didn't know that the software was illegal under U.S. law.(Reuters 17 Dec 2002)

AOL PATENTS INSTANT MESSAGING TECHNOLOGY
AOL Time Warner has quietly won a U.S. patent for its ICQ instant messaging
technology, representing a potential goldmine for the media giant. The
broadly worded patent defines AOL's IM application as one that enables users
to chat with and identify one another across a specific "communications
network," opening up the possibility for AOL to collect royalties from
rivals. ICQ, which was developed in the mid-1990s by a group of Israeli
scientists at a company called Mirabilis, was the first breakthrough chat
application. It filed a patent for its technology in 1997 and was acquired
by AOL in 1998 for $287 million. (Reuters 19 Dec 2002)

SCAM THE CHILDREN
Federal prosecutors have indicted the owner and employees of a Staten

with conspiring to steal millions of dollars from the federal E-rate program
that helps pay for Internet technology for schools and libraries. (New York

SUN'S CHRISTMAS COMES EARLY IN VICTORY OVER MICROSOFT
A U.S. district court judge ruled Monday that Microsoft had violated Sun
Microsystems' copyright for its Java software and ordered the software
giant to include Sun's version of Java with its Windows operating system,
handing Sun a double-barreled victory over its high-tech rival. The case
stems from Sun's claims that Microsoft dropped Sun's Java software in favor
of its own variation, which Sun alleges is incompatible with its
technology. "Unless Sun is given a fair opportunity to compete in a market
untainted by the effects of Microsoft's past antitrust violations, there is
a serious risk that in the near future the market will tip in favor of
Net, that it is impossible to ascertain when such tipping might occur in
time to prevent it from happening, and that if the market does tip in favor
of .Net, Sun could not be adequately compensated in damages," wrote Judge
J. Frederick Motz in his decision. Microsoft says it plans to appeal the
decision. (CNet News.com 23 Dec 2002)

GERMAN STATE PLANS TO BLOCK U.S.-BASED NEO-NAZI SITES
The German state of North Rhine-Westphalia plans to require the Internet
service providers located within its jurisdiction to block two U.S.-based
neo-Nazi Web sites. Government official Ulrich Shiefelbein says: "We don't
want such content to be available to everyone." Internet service providers
in the state are appealing the decision of a court that approved the plan,
and are threatening to leave North Rhine-Westphalia for other German states
that don't have such requirements. (AP/San Jose Mercury News 19 Dec 2002)

CHINESE AUTHOR ARRESTED AFTER INTERNET CRACKDOWN
The novelist and poet Liao Yiwu, who has written about the very poorest
social strata in China, is one of several dozen activists detained by law
enforcement authorities in the city of Chengdu in southwestern China.
Liao's articles about the poor are banned in China but have been published
abroad by Web sites critical of the Chinese regime. (USA Today 19 Dec 2002)

ACADEMICS PUSH FOR FREE, ONLINE ACCESS TO JOURNALS
Since the advent of the Internet, many academics have complained about
the practice of charging for online access to scientific journals, as
is done by many high-profile publications, including Science and
Nature. Now, a $9 million grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore
Foundation will support a new organization that will publish two new
online journals, one on biology and the other on medicine, that will be
entirely free. The Public Library of Science will be led by Dr. Harold
E. Varmus, a Nobel laureate in medicine and president of the Memorial
Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Varmus, one of the critics of charging
for online access to scientific articles, said, "The written record is
the lifeblood of science." Dr. Donald Kennedy, the editor of Science,
defended the subscriptions, however, noting that the publication's
standards and costs are high. He said that the number of downloads of
articles relative to the subscription fee indicates that each article
is being accessed for just a few cents each.

ORGANIZATIONS ASK FOR COPYRIGHT EXCEPTIONS
Several organizations, including the American Library Association, the
Association of American Universities, and the Electronic Frontier
Foundation, will file paperwork with the U.S. Copyright Office
requesting exceptions to the copy-protection provisions of the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). The groups argue that electronic
measures to prevent copying also limit protected fair use rights to
make copies for backup and educational purposes. Most observers, and
many representatives of groups that otherwise might file similar
requests, admit that the odds of being granted an exception by the
Copyright Office are extremely remote. Nevertheless, these and several
other organizations are expected to file the requests, which are due today.

ELCOMSOFT ACQUITTED OF COPYRIGHT VIOLATION
The Russian software company ElcomSoft, Ltd. was acquitted by a
California federal court for copyright violations. The Justice
Department took ElcomSoft to court, in the first such case to go to
trial, for having developed a program that disables security features
of e-book software from Adobe Systems. ElcomSoft's application allowed
e-book users to make copies of those books and to read them on other
devices, actions which are generally protected as "fair use." The
Justice Department, citing the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act
(DMCA), said the application could also allow piracy of the e-books.
ElcomSoft argued that its application was not intended to support
piracy and that the application is not illegal in Russia. The jury
agreed with ElcomSoft, but experts nevertheless expect more such
prosecutions under the DMCA.

Statistical Review
In the first 50 weeks of this year, we have produced 2,283 new eBooks.
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks of
production, each production-week starting/ending Wednesday noon,
starting with the first Wednesday in January. January 2nd was
was the first Wednesday of 2002, and thus ended the production
year of 2001 and began the production year of 2002.
With 6,583 eBooks online as of December 18, 2002 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $1.52 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is only about 1.59 percent of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $2.36 when we had 4232 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine 6,000 books each costing $.77 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine 6,000 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???

E-GOV ADVANCES
President Bush has signed into law the E-Government Act of 2002, a law
intended to offer more government information and services over the
Internet while honoring the privacy of citizens through standards and
oversight protections. The law requires that each federal court establish a
Web site where its decisions and other actions are publicly accessible, and
directs federal regulatory agencies to publish on the Web everything they
publish in the Federal Register. (PC World 17 Dec 2002)

RUSSIAN FIRM CLEARED IN U.S. COPYRIGHT CASE
ElcomSoft Co. Ltd., based in Moscow, has been found not guilty of criminal
charges that it violated the 1998 U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act by
selling a software program designed to circumvent the digital locks used to
enforce copyright protections on Adobe Systems e-book software. The
two-week trial was the first criminal prosecution under the controversial
DCMA, which prohibits the sale of technology that can be used to break the
code that "locks" digitally formatted movies, music and other software. The
case hinged on whether ElcomSoft had "willfully" violated U.S. law, an
intent the defendants denied. "They never intended to violate the law,"
said defense attorney Joseph Burton. ElcomSoft president Alexander Katalov
pointed out that the program was legal in Russia and was not meant to be
used for electronic books that had not been legally purchased. He said he
didn't know that the software was illegal under U.S. law.(Reuters 17 Dec 2002)

treated to is a lesson in productivity. The telemarketing firm that's
calling you has used a "predictive dialer" to rapidly dial a number of
lines at one time, monitored by computer software that predicts when
they've got a live one on the line (the live one would be you). Okay, hang
up the phone and pick up your fork again, happy to have done your part for
greater efficiency. Jerry Cerasale of the Direct Marketing Association says
nationwide do-not-call list. Maybe that will help.(New York Times 18 Dec 2002)

WEB ACTIVISTS GO AFTER RALSKY AND POINDEXTER
Web activists have uncovered the home address and phone numbers for
government surveillance head John Poindexter and bulk spammer Alan Ralsky,
and have posted the information on more than 100 Web sites. The action has
led to Ralsky being deluged with junk mail and Poindexter undergoing the
scrutiny that every American soon will experience. An article in the
Detroit Free Press quoted Ralsky as complaining, "They're harassing me,"
after anti-spammers signed him up with as many direct mail agencies as
possible. In Poindexter's case, his home address, complete with satellite
photos, has been published online as well as his phone number and those of
his neighbors. That's actually just a small portion of the personal
information the U.S. government plans to collect under Poindexter's Total
Information Awareness program, which will compile credit card, medical,
travel, school and other records in an effort to spot terrorists.

MICROSOFT WARNS OF 'CRITICAL' SECURITY FLAWS IN WINDOWS
Microsoft revealed "critical" flaws in its Windows operating system that
conceivably could allow hackers to alter data stored in computers, load and
run malicious programs, or reformat hard drives. Microsoft is urging
Windows users to download a new version of Microsoft Virtual Machine, which
is the part of Windows that runs Java applications. "An attacker could, in
the most serious of these vulnerabilities, gain complete control of a
user's system and take any action" he or she chooses, said John Montgomery,
head of Microsoft's developer platform and evangelism group. Security
features in Outlook Express 6 and Outlook 2002 are safe from the
HTML-mail-based attacks by default and Outlook 98 and 2000 users are also
protected if users have installed the Microsoft security updates for them.
The good news is, a hacker would have to be quite sophisticated to carry
out an attack of the kind described, says Gary Bahadur, CIO at Foundstone.
"This is not an easy attack at all. You've got to be pretty slick, pretty
creative." (Wall Street Journal 13 Dec 2002)

GROUP OFFERS COPYRIGHT LICENSES FOR ACCEPTABLE USES
The Creative Commons is a group set up last year to increase the amount
of intellectual property that is available for public use and to make
uses of such property easy and inexpensive. To that end, the group this
week will release its first set of copyright licenses that copyright
owners can use to specify how and when their content may be used. The
licenses allow broader use of material than copyright law, giving
copyright holders a simple way to identify acceptable uses without
relinquishing their copyright. Copyright owners can choose one of four
predefined copyright tools, they can craft their own acceptable uses
and restrictions, or they can release their work into the public domain
with no restrictions.

CALIFORNIA LAWS REQUIRE DISCLOSURE OF SECURITY LAPSES
A new law in California will require companies to notify customers if a
lapse in computer security has allowed unauthorized access of the
users' identities and personal information. In all, the California
legislature approved more than a dozen measures this session dealing
with identity theft. A draft is being circulated of another bill,
written by California Senator Diane Feinstein, that would require
businesses to disclose information about all lapses in security to
police. Many security experts say that early detection and notification
are vital in dealing with identity theft, giving consumers ample time
to address the problem if they know their personal information has been
exposed. California has taken a very proactive stance on disclosure of
security breaches, even when companies are unsure if personal
information was obtained. Some argue that the laws go too far. Mark
Rasch, former head of the Computer Crime Unit at the U.S. Department of
Justice, said the laws are onerous and "a potential public relations
nightmare" for companies that are forced to reveal security lapses.

STANFORD TO MOVE AHEAD WITH STEM CELL RESEARCH
Stanford University medical professor Irving Weissman said that the
school intends to experiment with cell nuclear transfer technology.
Weissman said that the goal is to advance science and denied that the
project involves cloning embryos. The researchers plan to take DNA from
diseased adult human cells, transfer the DNA into eggs, then grow the
eggs for a few days to produce stem cells. Other researchers dismiss
this distinction, claiming that this type of nuclear transfer creates
an exact genetic replica of the adult cell donor. The stem cell work
will take place under the auspices of the new Institute for Cancer/Stem
Cell Biology and Medicine, of which Weissman is the director. The
university has said it plans to share resulting stem cell lines with
other researchers.

Statistical Review
In the first 49 weeks of this year, we have produced 2,227 new eBooks.
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks of
production, each production-week starting/ending Wednesday noon,
starting with the first Wednesday in January. January 2nd was
was the first Wednesday of 2002, and thus ended the production
year of 2001 and began the production year of 2002.
With 6,518 eBooks online as of December 11, 2002 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $1.53 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is only about 1.59 percent of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $2.38 when we had 4161 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine 6,000 books each costing $.79 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine 6,000 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???

EGYPT CREATES NEW ALEXANDRIA LIBRARY FOR DIGITAL AGE
Egypt's famed library in Alexandria is taking 21st-century form, with
digital copies of nearly every public Web page posted since 1996. The
library has two hundred Hewlett-Packard PCs, and has incorporated a copy of
the Internet Archive developed by Brewster Kahle in San Francisco, donated
to the Egyptians because Kahle was so impressed with their efforts to
reinstate their leadership role in the creation, storage, and retrieval of
knowledge. The Egyptian government has obtained support from a number of
corporate giants, including Microsoft, Oracle, Ericsson and Alcatel, all of
whom will be tenants on a new 300-acre high-tech oasis near the Giza
Pyramids. (San Jose Mercury News 1 Dec 2002)

SURVEY DEBUNKS MYTH OF THE E-MAIL DELUGE
The latest study from the Pew Internet and American Life Project indicates
that reports of massive e-mail volume swamping workers and sapping their
e-mail at work receive 10 or fewer messages on the average day, and
three-quarters reported spending an hour or less daily dealing with e-mail.
Only 6% reported receiving more than 50 e-mails a day, and among those,
only 11% said the volume posed a problem. Most workers who receive a lot of
e-mail have devised ways to manage the load, such as using filters to
automatically sort the mail into folders. "All of the anecdotal evidence
you hear from people out there is, 'I'm so overwhelmed by the volume of
e-mail. The perception comes from the people who are talking most loudly
about it, those few who are most overwhelmed," says Pew senior research
fellow Deborah Fallows. The pattern is different for power users, typically
those in high-level managerial positions at large corporations. Many of
them spend at least two hours daily on e-mail, with the task often stretching
out to four or more hours. Meanwhile, the study found that younger users
(those under 30) are more likely to use e-mail for personal use while at work,
often sending gossip, jokes and chain letters while on the job.(AP 8 Dec 2002)
http://apnews.excite.com/article/20021208/D7NPSN680.html
Although 70% of U.S. households now have the technical option of
subscribing to broadband services, only15% actually do, because many people
whether it is acquired through cable company or phone company. The problem
is an upscale corollary of basic theorem of the digital divide, and is
illustrated by the fact that whereas 28% of households with income above
$100K a year have broadband access, a mere 4% of families with household
incomes under $35K a year have such access. The industry is trying to
reconcile itself to the basic facts of economic life; analyst Daryl
of broadband adoption that is long and steady, rather than a big
revolutionary pop." Which means that most network users will still be using
dial-up connections a long, long time from now. Professor Andrew Odlyhzko
is hardly anything more ludicrous than the fax machine, but it is still
around." (New York Times 5 Dec 2002)
http://partners.nytimes.com/2002/12/05/technology/05BROA.html
[If 15% of the total US households have broadband and only 4% with under
$35,000 incomes have broadband, then 26% of those with over $35,000 incomes
must have broadband. Since $35k is about the median US household income,
meaning half the people have incomes under $35k, while half are over $35k.
Thus, 4% and 26% shares would average to the 15% average of US households.
Why the NY Times would accentuate 28% over $100,000 rather than 26% over
$35k is beyond me, presuming the rest of these figures are still more or
less correct. The median national income figures are obviously always a
year or two out of date, and may have gone up $1-2,000, of course. . . .]
FIRMS FINED FOR NOT FOLLOWING E-MAIL RETENTION SCHEDULE
The Securities and Exchange Commission has fined five major brokerage firms
(Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Salomon Smith Barney, and
U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray) $1.65 million each for failing to keep employee
e-mail for the required retention period. The SEC examines such mail to
find cases in which brokers have rated stocks positively and given it a
"buy" recommendation to the public, while in private correspondence
revealed complete contempt for the same stock. The commission says, "The
record-keeping rules are a keystone of the surveillance of brokers and
dealers by commission staff and the security industry's self-regulatory
bodies." (San Jose Mercury News 4 Dec 2002)

"They Said It Couldn't Be Done!"
When Project Gutenberg completed eBook #100, The Complete Shakespeare,
on December 10th, 1993, all the pundits said we couldn't possibly keep
pace with Moore's Law, doubling every 18 months! In fact, they said
not even huge concerns such as Intel CPUs could keep up, but specifically
that Project Gutenberg, an any other human based work enterprise,
could not possibly keep up with Moore's law.
Today We Have Proven Them Wrong!
Here are the Moore's Law predictions from Dec. 10, 1993 to Dec. 10, 2002:
9 years, doubling once ever 18 months would be a total of 6 doublings:

DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT
Thanks to very good recent publicity, the Distributed Proofreading
project has greatly accelerated its pace. Please visit the site:
http://texts01.archive.org/dp for more information about how you can
help, by scanning just a few pages per day.
If you have a book that has been scanned but have not yet run through
OCR (optical character recognition) please email pg@aldarondo.net
with information -- they'd be happy work on it.
Also, DP is seeking public domain books not already in the
Project Gutenberg collection. To see what is already online, visit
http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL (a text file), since the
online database doesn't reflect recent additions. Please email
charlz@lvcablemodem.com if you have books to send, or simply send them
(note that DP generally chops books to scan them, and usually does not
return scanned books).
More. . . .
Do you have Public Domain books your would like to see in the archive?
Can they be destructively scanned? If so send them to the Distributed
Proofreading Team!
Charles Franks
9030 W. Sahara Ave. #195
Las Vegas, NV 89117
Please make sure that they are _not_ already in the archive and please check
them against David's In Progress list at
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
to ensure no one is currently working on them. It would also be helpful if
you clear them before mailing the books, send the 'OK' lines to
charlz@lvcablemodem.com

David R. <mr_der@hotmail.com> is looking for a copy of:
M. P. Cushing's "Baron D'Holbach" (1914)
1971 reprint is not good for this purpose.
***
Third Request!
We are seeking a physical copy of the book RUR in Czech by Karel
Capek, published in 1920-1922. These copies are hard to find, but
available at the U. Nebraska Lincoln, Texas A&M, U. Texas Austin, NY
Public Library & Waseda University. If you are near these and can
compare the eBook we have against the physical book, please contact
Greg Newby <gbnewby@ils.unc.edu>.
***
Aaron Cannon is looking for any pre-1923 English/foreign Language
dictionaries that can be added to the archive. He is especially interested
in English/Spanish Spanish/English dictionaries, but any language is
acceptable. If you have any of these lying about, or if you know where
they can be had for less than $20, please contact Aaron at
cannona@fireantproductions.com

From: Miranda van de Heijning <m_vandeheijning@yahoo.com>
I don't have a scanner and cannot undertake any large
projects myself, but I would like to volunteer as a proofreader.
I would like get in touch with Dutch-speaking volunteers.

--WHERE TO GET EBOOKS
http://promo.net/pg (aka http://www.gutenberg.net) allows searching by
title, author, language and subject. Mirrors (copies) of the complete
collection are available around the world.
http://www.promo.net/pg/list.html can get you to the nearest one.
These sites and indices are not instant, as the cataloguing needs to be
done by our professional Chief Cataloguer. . .who is half way around the
world for the next week or three. . .so this is more important than usual.
--"INSTANT" ACCESS TO EBOOKS
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download
site (or a mirror) if you know the filename you want. Try:
http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext04
or
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext04
and look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that updated
eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99, etext00, etc.)

Statistical Review
In the first 48 weeks of this year, we have produced 2,187 new eBooks.
Note: it took us from 1971 to 1999 to produce our *FIRST* 2,187 eBooks!!!
That's 48 WEEKS as Compared to 29 YEARS!!!
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks of
production, each production-week starting/ending Wednesday noon,
starting with the first Wednesday in January. January 2nd was
was the first Wednesday of 2002, and thus ended the production
year of 2001 and began the production year of 2002.
With 6,479 eBooks online as of December 4, 2002 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $1.54 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is only about 1.59 percent of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $2.40 when we had 4161 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine 6,000 books each costing $.81 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine 6,000 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 6479 eBooks in 31 1/3 Years We Averaged
200 Per Year [This is how many we do per month these days!]
17 Per Month
.5 Per Day
At 2187 eBooks Done In 2002 We Averaged
7 eBooks Per Day
48 eBooks Per Week
199 eBooks Per Month !!!

DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT
Thanks to very good recent publicity, the Distributed Proofreading
project has greatly accelerated its pace. Please visit the site:
http://texts01.archive.org/dp for more information about how you can
help, by scanning just a few pages per day.
If you have a book that has been scanned but have not yet run through
OCR (optical character recognition) please email pg@aldarondo.net
with information -- they'd be happy work on it.
Also, DP is seeking public domain books not already in the
Project Gutenberg collection. To see what is already online, visit
http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL (a text file), since the
online database doesn't reflect recent additions. Please email
charlz@lvcablemodem.com if you have books to send, or simply send them
(note that DP generally chops books to scan them, and usually does not
return scanned books).

Do you have Public Domain books your would like to see in the archive?
Can they be destructively scanned? If so send them to the Distributed
Proofreading Team!

Please make sure that they are _not_ already in the archive and please check
them against David's In Progress list at
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
to ensure no one is currently working on them. It would also be helpful if
you clear them before mailing the books, send the 'OK' lines to
charlz@lvcablemodem.com

compare the eBook we have against the physical book, please contact
Greg Newby <gbnewby@ils.unc.edu>.

Aaron Cannon is looking for any pre-1923 English/foreign Language
dictionaries that can be added to the archive. He is especially interested
in English/Spanish Spanish/English dictionaries, but any language is
acceptable. If you have any of these lying about, or if you know where
they can be had for less than $20, please contact Aaron at
cannona@fireantproductions.com

title, author, language and subject. Mirrors (copies) of the complete
collection are available around the world.
http://www.promo.net/pg/list.html can get you to the nearest one.
These sites and indices are not instant, as the cataloguing needs to be
done by our professional Chief Cataloguer. . .who is half way around the
world for the next week or three. . .so this is more important than usual.
--"INSTANT" ACCESS TO EBOOKS
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download

and look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that updated
eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99, etext00, etc.)

Statistical Review
In the first 48 weeks of this year, we have produced 2,187 new eBooks.
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks of
production, each production-week starting/ending Wednesday noon,
starting with the first Wednesday in January. January 2nd was
was the first Wednesday of 2002, and thus ended the production
year of 2001 and began the production year of 2002.
With 6,479 eBooks online as of December 4, 2002 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $1.54 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is only about 1.59 percent of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $2.40 when we had 4161 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine 6,000 books each costing $.81 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine 6,000 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 6479 eBooks in 31 1/3 Years We Averaged
At 2187 eBooks Done In 2002 We Averaged

An Ohio library found itself blocked on its own system after
it installed net filtering software. The Flesh Public Library
had its own site blocked after the program blocked sites with
the word "flesh". Rather than considering the implications
of the software, the library simply changed its name.

Headlines From Newsscan
DIGITAL DOMESDAY BOOK GETS NEW LIFE
The BBC's computer-based, multimedia version of the famed Domesday Book has
received a new lease on life, thanks to scientists at Leeds University and
the University of Michigan, who have found a way to access the archive
stored on 1980s-era interactive video discs. To unlock the now-obsolete
technology, the Camileon project teams have developed software that
emulates the Acorn Microcomputer system and the video disc player. "BBC
Domesday has become a classic example of the dangers facing our digital
heritage," says project manager Paul Wheatley. "But it must be remembered
that time is of the essence. We must invest wisely in developing an
infrastructure to preserve our digital records before it is too late. We
must not make the mistake of thinking that recording on a long-lived medium
gives us meaningful preservation." The information on the Domesday discs
has been inaccessible for 16 years. By contrast, the original Domesday
Book, an inventory of England compiled in 1086 by Norman monks, is in fine
condition in a London Public Record Office. (BBC News 2 Dec 2002)

TRANSISTORS MADE FROM PLASTIC
A Xerox research team has developed an experimental polymer usable for
making organic transistors on a plastic substrate. "Think about the value of
a laptop or cell phone display that you could drop without breaking," says
one team member. The making of printed plastic transistors in phones and
PDAs will be done on a new electronics manufacturing process on roll-to-roll
machinery of the kind now used in publishing. (New York Times 3 Dec 2002)

WHAT DOES STEVE CASE DO ALL DAY?
Steve Case's "advisory-only" position at AOL Time Warner continues to be
scrutinized, and industry analysts continue to suggest that the embattled
chairman (and former head of AOL before its merger with Time Warner) is a
superfluous figure. Paul Kim of Kaufman Brothers says, "There is increased
scrutiny of what Steve Case's role is, and there are more questions about
what his function is in the corporation." And John Tinker of Blaylock &
AOL." But many observers insist that Case is resilient and should not be
never as good or as bad as the press, or the street, says you are... In my
experience, this isn't the time to play defense, it's also the time to play
offense." (New York Times 2 Dec 2002)
http://partners.nytimes.com/2002/12/02/technology/02CASE.html
ADVERTISING DROP WILL DELAY AOL'S FINANCIAL REBOUND
America Online's attempt to attain financial health will be delayed until
2004 as the result of an expected 40-50% drop in advertising revenues next
year, and the company is predicting an overall 15-25% fall in profitability
during that period. AOL Time Warner chairman Steve Case (the former AOL
chairman who has been much-criticized for his role in engineering the merger
direction builds on AOL's past. This marks not just an important new
beginning for AOL but a new beginning for AOL Time Warner. It is a new day."
(Washington Post 4 Dec 2002)
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A5748-2002Dec3.html
A study by Harvard Law School researchers finds that China is the country
with the world's most oppressive censorship of what its citizens can view on
the Internet. Chinese authorities block access to 19,000 sites, and also
delete individual links or Web pages of which they do not approve. Most of
the disapproved sites are political in nature. When it comes to blocking
pornography, China (at least for now) cedes the first-place prize to Saudi
to Saudi Arabia's blocking of 86%. (New York Times 4 Dec 2002)

FEE-BASED MUSIC SERVICES LANGUISH
While free music file-swapping services such as Kazaa continue to flourish
(with Kazaa now attracting almost 14 million U.S. visitors a month),
fee-based services such as MusicNet have not succeed in finding a solid
customer base of more than 100,000 subscribers. Are people just not willing
to pay for music online? Or is the problem something else? Some industry
watchers think the more important problem for fee-based music services is
that they don't offer enough music selections. (For example, MusicNet was
recently offering only two of the top 10 of the most popular songs in the
country.) But industry executives are confident in their belief that it's
just a matter of time before they can prove that music consumers, just like
consumers of bottled water, will pay for something they can get for free
provided the marketing and distribution are right. (San Jose Mercury News 2

Headlines From Edupage
WEB SITE LETS STUDENTS POINT OUT BIAS
The Web site NoIndoctrination.org lets students anonymously accuse
professors, by name, of political bias. Luann Wright, a designer of
science curriculums, started the course two years after her son took a
writing course at the University of California at San Diego that she
found objectionable. Students using the new site can rate the perceived
level of bias in a professor's lectures, reading list, and class
discussions, and post anonymous accusations, reportedly to avoid
retaliation from professors named. Professors can write rebuttals,
although few have taken advantage of the opportunity.

PANELISTS DISCUSS SOFTWARE AS CENSOR
A conference at Columbia University on free expression and the arts
focused on new limits on artistic freedom in a technology-heavy
culture. Artists in this environment face copyright issues, whether in
trying to obtain materials or in having their own rights (including
free speech) infringed, and the possibility of censorship of their work
by software filters. The National Arts Journalism Program sponsored the
conference. Participants debated the pros and cons of such things as
the extension of copyright law another 20 years and attempts by the
entertainment industry to restrict file sharing.

******eBooks Readable By Both Humans and Computers For Over 31 Years******
When Project Gutenberg completed eBook #100, The Complete Shakespeare,
on December 10th, 1993, all the pundits said we couldn't possibly keep
pace with Moore's Law, doubling every 18 months! In fact, they said
not even huge concerns such as Intel CPUs could keep up, but specifically
that Project Gutenberg, an any other human based work enterprise,
could not possibly keep up with Moore's law.
Here is the Moore's Law prediction from Dec. 10, 1993 to Dec. 10, 2002:
9 years, doubling once ever 18 months would be a total of 6 doublings:
Total Date Doublings
100 Dec 10, 1993 0
200 Jun 10, 1995 1
400 Dec 10, 1996 2
800 Jun 10, 1998 3
1600 Dec 10, 1999 4
3200 Jun 10, 2001 5
6400 Dec 10, 2002 6
[In fact, we have kept up with Moore's Law even longer than that,
back to 22 eBooks in Dec., 1991 and 10 in Dec., 1990, Moore later!]

Statistical Review
In the first 47 weeks of this year, we have produced 2,111 new eBooks.
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks of
production, each production-week starting/ending Wednesday noon,
starting with the first Wednesday in January. January 2nd was
was the first Wednesday of 2002, and thus ended the production

LIBRARY FILTERS BAN THE LIBRARY
An Ohio library found itself blocked on its own system after
it installed net filtering software. The Flesh Public Library
had its own site blocked after the program blocked sites with
the word "flesh". Rather than considering the implications
of the software, the library simply changed its name.

CHILDREN'S BOOKS FREE ON THE NET
A new Web site, designed by the University of Maryland and the nonprofit
Internet Archive are creating the International Children's Digital Library
-- a site that eventually will hold about 10,000 children's books from 100
different cultures and make them available free for downloading. "There are
places in the world where you're going to find a computer way before you
find a library or a book store," says project director Jane White. The
site's goal is to stimulate children's reading and learning skills while
exposing them to a variety of other cultures. It features kid-friendly
graphics that enable a user to click on an icon and view thumbnail-sized
pages of a book that unwind or unfold like the panels of a comic book. The
site, www.icdlbooks.org, officially debuted Wednesday, offering 200 titles
from more than 27 cultures in 15 different languages. Many of the titles,
such as "Alice in Wonderland," are no longer under copyright restriction,
but some publishers, including Random House, Scholastic and HarperCollins,
have contributed a few newer works as well. Currently, users must have a
broadband Internet connection to access the site, but the site will be
available for dialup modem users by next summer. (AP 20 Nov 2002)

[Finally, a speed limit on bandwidth hogs, who slow things down for all]
HIGH-SPEED ISPs CONSIDER PUTTING ON THE BRAKES
Many of the largest high-speed ISPs are considering capping the amount of
bandwidth that their subscribers can use each month in an effort to put the
brakes on rampant file-swapping. "Every major broadband provider is
seriously weighing pros and cons of bandwidth consumption caps," says
Michael Harris, president of research firm Kinetic Strategies. Leading the
way is Bell Canada, whose DSL service has already instituted caps on
bandwidth use, charging subscribers about 80 cents for each extra 100
requires ISPs to set up a traffic-monitoring system for each account and it
forces the subscriber to self-ration bandwidth -- a foreign concept to
people accustomed to an all-you-can-eat approach to Internet use. Critics
note that unwanted content, such as pop-up ads and pornographic spam, could
waste subscribers' bandwidth, but Bell Canada says its policy has been a
success so far. The company offers tiered levels of service allowing 2GB,
10GB and 20GB of monthly traffic, and the percentage of customers exceeding
their allotment in any given month is small -- between 6% and 8%. Cable
companies are eyeing the Bell Canada experiment with interest, as their
subscribers in particular are adversely affected by "bandwidth hogs."
Meanwhile, the president of file-swapping company Grokster dismisses the
efforts, saying, "They only thing they're going to accomplish is to make
their customers angry." (CNet News.com 26 Nov 2002)

ANTIVIRUS TOOL THROTTLES DOWN ON INFECTION RATE
Matthew Williamson, a researcher at the Hewlett-Packard labs in the UK, has
developed a new approach to battling computer viruses. It slows down the
infection rate significantly by limiting the number of connections at any
one time by an infected computer. "The major problem with computer viruses
is that because they spread so quickly and our response is so slow, they
cause so much damage," says Williamson. "We are tackling the fundamental
nature of a virus^E When your machine gets an e-mail virus, it sends lots
and lots of e-mail messages at a much higher rate than you would normally
send them. So if I put a limit on the rate of e-mail messages that you can
send in every 10 minutes, then a virus trying to send 100 or 200 messages
will very quickly get delayed." Williamson found that using the "throttle"
technique has a negligible impact on the day-to-day performance of his
computer. (BBC News 26 Nov 2002)

COMPUTERS RANK TOPS AMONG DIGITAL APPLIANCES
Half of the respondents in a recent Harris Interactive survey said their
computer was the most important electronic device in their household,
beating out CD players, cell phones and DVD players (the study did not ask
[Of course, most of their televisions would not be in "digital" categories]
people about their television use, however). The 2002 International Digital
Lifestyle poll targeted people in Europe and the U.S. who own a computer
and at least one other digital device -- a prime target for consumer
electronics manufacturers. "We're seeing a lifestyle shift from almost
exclusive television use to a higher percentage of people's lives spent on
a computer," says Dell marketing director Mike Oldani (the Harris study was
backed by Dell and Microsoft). When asked about what they did with their
computers, the younger crowd (18- to 34-year-olds) used theirs for
listening to music; people in the 35 to 49 range cited job-related tasks;
and the over-50 group enjoyed e-mail the most. (CNet News.com 24 Nov 2002)

TECH FIRMS, HOLLYWOOD HEADED TO NEGOTIATING TABLE
About 20 lobbyists representing technology and entertainment companies are
headed for a closed-door meeting today to try to hammer out some of their
differences in the long-running squabble over digital copyright. Companies
Verizon, the Business Software Alliance, AOL Time Warner, the Motion
Picture Association of America and the Fox Entertainment Group. "We're
pleased that so many people who are important players in this debate are
willing to sit down with us to discuss the consumer perspective on digital
copyright," says Alan Davidson, deputy director of the Center for Democracy
and Technology, which is sponsoring the series of meetings. "We don't know
what the outcome will be, but we're hopeful that we can make progress in
representing what has been an underrepresented voice -- consumers."
Political tension between the two groups has increased significantly in the
last year, which has resulted in an impasse. (CNet News.com 21 Nov 2002)

WEB SITES LEAK AFTER-HOLIDAY SALE PRICES
Users of several shopping Web sites, including FatWallet.com and
DealofDay.com, were treated to a sneak peek of post-Thanksgiving sale
prices for items ranging from Kodak digital cameras to the "8 Mile" movie
soundtrack -- prices retailers had no intention of revealing until after
the holiday. Now, shoppers in the market for an HP printer may as well wait
until the price drops to $200 after Thanksgiving -- 33% off the current
price on the OfficeMax Web site. And Best Buy's price on a digital camera
will drop to $99.99 from its current $149.99 listing. "Someone, somewhere
is getting information they shouldn't be," says an OfficeMax spokesman.
Target, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Toys R Us and others have demanded that the Web
sites take the information down. Most have complied, but in many cases
readers have already copied the data and posted it elsewhere on the Web.
Retailers are stumped over how the information got out, but promise to take
action as soon as we discover how the information got on the site and who
posted it," says a spokesman for OfficeMax. (Wall Street Journal 21 Nov 2002)

SWAPPING MUSIC ONLINE CAN'T BE STOPPED, SAY RESEARCHERS
A paper prepared for an Association of Computing Machinery (ACM)
workshop on Digital Rights Management dismissed record industry
attempts to stop swapping of music files over online networks as
unworkable. The authors wrote that the continuing proliferation of
file-swapping systems and improvements in their organization will
eventually make them impossible to shut down. The spread of CD and DVD
burners and the growth of consumer broadband, inexpensive data storage,
and instant messaging further erode attempts to control consumer use of
music files. The authors advised music companies to compete on the same
terms, by making music easy and inexpensive to buy.

GOVERNMENT SHUTS DOWN PUBSCIENCE
The United States Department of Energy shut down PubScience, an
Internet site that catalogued government and academic science research,
in response to corporate complaints that it competed with commercial
services. Searching on PubScience was free, with the service linking
either to free full texts or to payment systems for information that
was for sale. Two commercial equivalents also offer free searching,
with academic literature available for a fee. Researchers worry that
commercial companies will control access to and charge fees for
information and research that was created with public money. Closing
PubScience will save the government $200,000 a year.

JUDGE WARNS OF EXPANSION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW
Speaking at a lecture organized by the American Enterprise Institute
and the Brookings Institution, U.S. Appeals Court Judge Richard Posner
warned of an "enormous expansion" of intellectual-property law. Posner
criticized a 1998 law extending the duration of U.S. copyrights and
attacked the Patent and Trademark Office for granting what he called
"very questionable" business method patents. Posner is known for
applying economic analysis to the law and for mediating settlement
talks in the Microsoft antitrust case.

Statistical Review
In the first 46 weeks of this year, we have produced 2,058 new eBooks.
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks of
production, each production-week starting/ending Wednesday noon,
starting with the first Wednesday in January. January 2nd was
was the first Wednesday of 2002, and thus ended the production
year of 2001 and began the production year of 2002.
With 6,350 eBooks online as of November 20, 2002 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $1.57 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is only about 1.59 percent of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $2.43 when we had 4006 Etexts A Year Ago
Can you imagine 6,000 books each costing $.84 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine 6,000 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???

Headlines From Newsscan
E-BOOK INDUSTRY GETS A BOOST
OverDrive Inc., a leading distributor of electronic books, unveiled a new
service that will enable libraries to offer more than 35,000 titles from
400 publishers for downloading to portable e-book readers. Combined with a
similar move last month by rival Fictionwise Inc., the offering helps
overcome some of the main hurdles for libraries eager to get into the
and permission from publishers. To address those problems, Fictionwise and
OverDrive have adopted new technologies that make it possible to duplicate
digital files a limited number of times. Each copy, in turn, will have a
limited lifespan before it automatically expires. Thus, a library might
purchase three copies of a title and loan it to three patrons for two weeks
at a time. Alternatively, libraries could enable each title to be read 100
times before it expired electronically. Analysts hope that this latest move
will whet the public's appetite for e-books, giving a much-needed boost to
the nascent industry. If successful, the new way of managing digital
content could pioneer the way for libraries to loan other media via the
Internet, including music and movies, although there are still some details
to be worked out. "Each medium has a different business model and a
different culture," so it's going to be a tough battle for libraries to
obtain the rights to lend digital movies and music through the Web, says
Frederick Weingarten, head of technology policy at the American Library
Assn. (Los Angeles Times 20 Nov 2002)

MICROSOFT REVEALS 85% PROFIT MARGIN ON WINDOWS
While most of its other businesses were wallowing in red ink, sales of
Microsoft's Windows operating system were generating 85% profit margins
last quarter, according to an SEC filing made late last week. The
disclosure is sure to infuriate many rivals, who have criticized the
company's recent antitrust settlement with the Justice Department was much
too lax. Among Microsoft's other businesses, its home and entertainment
division, which includes the Xbox console, lost $177 million last quarter;
MSN lost $97 million; the business solutions group lost $68 million; and
the CE/Mobility division lost $33 million. (Financial Times 17 Nov 2002)

COMDEX AT MIDDLE AGE
Comdex, the high-tech trade show that was used in years past to introduce
all the newest wonders, has come closer to earth this year, and is
showcasing many new products noted not for their features but for their
price. An example is Dell's new Axim X5 handheld computer, which, at $199
after discounts and rebates, is much cheaper than other color handhelds.
Industry analyst Tim Bajarin of Creative Strategies International predicts,
"Dell is going to have a tremendous impact on this market as it comes in
and flattens prices. This is the kind of thing that will catch on during a
fact of the matter is it's not 1999 anymore. Everyone is looking for the
next great thing that will take off, but we're really in a mature business
now." (San Jose Mercury News 17 Nov 2002)

From England's "The Enquirer"
"Project Gutenberg. . .the most significant group literary undertaking
since James Murray. . .create[d] the Oxford English Dictionary."
The Enquirer [UK] by David Moynihan [webmaster of Blackmask Online]
Gutenberg was launched in '71 by Michael Hart, the first regular
citizen to get on what became the Internet. Beginning with an e-mailed
Declaration of Independence, the sending of which nearly crashed the
network of that time, PG grew slowly over the next 30 years into what
is now the most significant group literary undertaking since James
Murray teamed up with family, friends and casual passersby to create
the Oxford English Dictionary. But while Murray died before OED was
complete, Hart has a real good shot of seeing his original objectives
realized. It's likely PG's 10,000th book will be added sometime in
2003 (they've got over 6,000 currently).

DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT
Thanks to very good recent publicity, the Distributed Proofreading
project has greatly accelerated its pace. Please visit the site:
http://texts01.archive.org/dp for more information about how you can
help, by scanning just a few pages per day.
If you have a book that has been scanned but have not yet run through
OCR (optical character recognition) please email pg@aldarondo.net
with information -- they'd be happy work on it.
Also, DP is seeking public domain books not already in the
Project Gutenberg collection. To see what is already online, visit
http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL (a text file), since the
online database doesn't reflect recent additions. Please email
charlz@lvcablemodem.com if you have books to send, or simply send them
(note that DP generally chops books to scan them, and usually does not
return scanned books).

E-MAIL ADDRESS CHURN GIVES E-TAILERS HEARTBURN
Almost a third of U.S. Internet users change their e-mail addresses each
year, costing businesses millions in potential sales, according to a new
study by NFO WorldGroup. Reasons cited for changing e-mail addresses
include changing jobs, switching ISPs, or evading spam. Recently, 87% of
total respondents had changed a personal e-mail address and 35% had changed
a work address. At least 16% said the change was intended specifically to
shake off spammers whose tactics have become increasingly aggressive and
subject matter increasingly offensive. The high turnover rate has caused
headaches for legitimate businesses, however, who lose contact with
customers who may have volunteered their e-mail addresses as part of the
business relationship. "It's too much of a hassle to update their personal
information with the sites," says an NFO marketing manager. "They look at
it and think if they have to go through this process with 20 Web sites,
it's too much trouble. Whereas with contacting 20 friends, that's a
different thing." Return Path, an e-mail change-of-address company,
estimates that e-mail churn cost businesses between $3 billion and $4
billion in 2000 due to lost sales, wasted e-mail acquisition marketing and
unnecessary e-mail delivery costs, with those losses rising to $10 billion
to $20 billion in five years. (Wired.com 12 Nov 2002)

COLLEGES URGED NOT TO MONITOR PEER-TO-PEER SHARING
The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), a Washington-based
nonprofit organization that promotes freedom of speech on the Internet, is
attacking letters recently written by the recording industry asking college
officials to monitor Web use at their institutions for copyright violations
made through peer-to-peer sharing of music or video files by members of the
academic community. EPIC is criticizing those letters for trying to shift
the burden of content enforcement to academic institutions which have
scarce resources for such purposes, and is warning against a network "arms
race" between file sharers and copyright enforcers. The group thinks
colleges should avoid adopting a "confrontational role with respect to
these technologies," because all it would do would be to harm the network's
overall performance. (IDG News Service 11 Nov 2002)

Headlines From Edupage
LETTER URGES UNIVERSITIES NOT TO MONITOR FILE SHARING
In response to a recent letter from members of the entertainment
industry to colleges and universities, encouraging them to use
technological means to monitor and limit file sharing on their
networks, the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) has sent a
letter urging institutions not to engage in such monitoring. The EPIC
letter argues that monitoring could violate student privacy, expose the
institution to liabilities under the Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act, and constrain the "marketplace of ideas" that the schools
embody. A representative from EPIC said the group thought the
entertainment industry was "reasonable" in asking schools to try to
limit piracy of copyrighted material but had gone too far in supporting
monitoring. A response issued by the Recording Industry Association of
America said universities do not need to be lectured about "academic
freedom ... or [the] privacy rights of their students."

CIA FACT BOOK READY FOR FORMATTING [Third Request]
The 2002 edition of the CIA World Fact Book is now
available at http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/index.html
Project Gutenberg needs a volunteer to harvest and reformat
this work into plain text (HTML is optional). See our previous
WFB's for formatting idea. Interested? Email gbnewby@ils.unc.edu
***
Second Request for Alice
If we could get a volunteer to scan them in a similarly large size
to the other Alice illustrations, then I could have a go at producing
an illustrated version of "Through the Looking Glass".
From: Martin Ward <Martin.Ward@durham.ac.uk>
[This would require scanning about 50 illustrations]
***
David R. <mr_der@hotmail.com> is looking for a copy of:
M. P. Cushing's "Baron D'Holbach" (1914)
1971 reprint is not good for this purpose.

Third Request!
We are seeking a physical copy of the book RUR in Czech by Karel
Capek, published in 1920-1922. These copies are hard to find, but
available at the U. Nebraska Lincoln, Texas A&M, U. Texas Austin, NY
Public Library & Waseda University. If you are near these and can
compare the eBook we have against the physical book, please contact
Greg Newby <gbnewby@ils.unc.edu>.

Aaron Cannon is looking for any pre-1923 English/foreign Language
dictionaries that can be added to the archive. He is especially interested
in English/Spanish Spanish/English dictionaries, but any language is
acceptable. If you have any of these lying about, or if you know where
they can be had for less than $20, please contact Aaron at

--WHERE TO GET EBOOKS
http://promo.net/pg (aka http://www.gutenberg.net) allows searching by
title, author, language and subject. Mirrors (copies) of the complete
collection are available around the world.
http://www.promo.net/pg/list.html can get you to the nearest one.
These sites and indices are not instant, as the cataloguing needs to be
done by our professional Chief Cataloguer. . .who is half way around the
world for the next week or three. . .so this is more important than usual.
--"INSTANT" ACCESS TO EBOOKS
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download
site (or a mirror) if you know the filename you want. Try:
http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext04
or
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext04
and look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that updated
eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99, etext00, etc.)

Statistical Review
In the first 10 months of this year, we have produced 1,916 new eBooks.
Note: it took us from 1971 to 1998 to produce our *FIRST* 1,916 eBooks!!!
That's 10 MONTHS as Compared to 29 YEARS!!!
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks of
production, each production-week starting/ending Wednesday noon,
starting with the first Wednesday in January. January 2nd was
was the first Wednesday of 2002, and thus ended the production
year of 2001 and began the production year of 2002.
With 6,267 eTexts online as of November 6, 2002 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $1.60 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is only about 1.59 percent of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from $2.45 when we had 4006 Etexts A Year Ago
Can you imagine 6,000 books each costing $.85 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine 6,000 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 6269 eBooks in 31 1/3 Years We Averaged
200 Per Year [This is about how many we do per month these days!]

CIA FACT BOOK READY FOR FORMATTING [Third Request]
The 2002 edition of the CIA World Fact Book is now
available at http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/index.html
Project Gutenberg needs a volunteer to harvest and reformat
this work into plain text (HTML is optional). See our previous
WFB's for formatting idea. Interested? Email gbnewby@ils.unc.edu
***
Second Request for Alice
If we could get a volunteer to scan them in a similarly large size
to the other Alice illustrations, then I could have a go at producing
an illustrated version of "Through the Looking Glass".
[This would require scanning about 50 illustrations]
***
David R. <mr_der@hotmail.com> is looking for a copy of:
M. P. Cushing's "Baron D'Holbach" (1914)
1971 reprint is not good for this purpose.
***
Third Request!
We are seeking a physical copy of the book RUR in Czech by Karel
Capek, published in 1920-1922. These copies are hard to find, but
available at the U. Nebraska Lincoln, Texas A&M, U. Texas Austin, NY
Public Library & Waseda University. If you are near these and can
compare the eBook we have against the physical book, please contact
Greg Newby <gbnewby@ils.unc.edu>.

Aaron Cannon is looking for any pre-1923 English/foreign Language
dictionaries that can be added to the archive. He is especially interested
in English/Spanish Spanish/English dictionaries, but any language is
acceptable. If you have any of these lying about, or if you know where
they can be had for less than $20, please contact Aaron at
cannona@fireantproductions.com

[My Comments In Brackets]
Headlines From Newsscan
MIT, HP UNVEIL DIGITAL LIBRARY
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Hewlett-Packard have taken
the wraps off DSpace -- a new system for electronically archiving books,
lecture notes and scientific data created by research institutions. MIT and
HP hope that the DSpace project will lead to the creation of a virtual
library that combines the collections of multiple research universities,
and MIT is already in discussions with Cambridge and Cornell to link their
libraries to the DSpace system. Corporations and government agencies have
also been in contact with MIT, says DSpace project director Mackenzie
Smith. Eventually, MIT's system, which currently can hold two terabytes of
data, will contain more than a petabyte, or a quadrillion bytes of data.
The project began about 18 months ago in response to the increasingly
unwieldy volume of data that universities must catalog and preserve. "Part
of the reason for doing this is that the faculty says, 'My stuff is too
hard to find.' ^EWe began this to get some kind of territorial control over
all of this research," says Smith. "If you're lucky, you can get some of it
on Google, but most of the stuff we are talking about is not indexed in any
way you can get it." (CNet News.com 4 Nov 2002)

Headlines From Edupage
EU, AFRICAN NONPROFIT LOOK TO LINUX
System integrator Netproject, a UK-based company, won a contract last
week from the European Union to study the feasibility of moving some
member countries' operating systems to Linux. Currently the countries
use Microsoft operating systems, but many involved have come to regard
Microsoft's pricing and short upgrade cycles as too expensive.
Separately, SchoolNet Namibia, a nonprofit trying to bring technology
to schools in Namibia, rejected an offer from Microsoft to switch to
Windows from Linux. A letter from the organization criticized the
software maker for suggesting that the nonprofit pay $9,000 for Windows
XP, even while offering a discount on Office. The two announcements
came as a number of Microsoft customers have raised concerns about
cost, pointing to open-source alternatives as significantly cheaper. A
spokesman from Microsoft argued that when all costs of ownership are
considered, open-source is not necessarily cheaper than Microsoft.

UC SANTA BARBARA BANS TWO VERSIONS OF WINDOWS
Campus officials at the University of California at Santa Barbara
issued a policy statement to students banning the use of Windows 2000
and Windows NT 4.0 operating systems on the school's network. The
statement blames the two operating systems for "hundreds of problems,"
some of which required temporarily shutting down the campus network. An
official from the university said that most of last year's security
lapses were traced to the 200 computers--of a total of 3,800 on the
network--that were running Windows 2000. A spokesman from Microsoft
said the university's problems stemmed from poor network management
rather than any problem with the operating systems. The university will
still allow certain systems to run Windows 2000, but only in
"controlled" environments where university officials can be certain
that the security settings are configured properly.
