PROJECT GUTENBERG WEEKLY NEWSLETTER FOR WEDNESDAY, BDECEMBER 19, 2001
LOTS of new information. . .so this is ALSO going to the monthly list.
Because EIGHT more eBooks came in while I was preparing to send this,
AND because large amounts of additional donation possibilities came in,
I am a little late in sending this out, and my calculations might be a
bit shaky, as I had to change the totals and other items over and over
during the process.

FROM MICHAEL HART, DIRECTOR OF PROJECT GUTENBERG:
I have been encouraged by some of our volunteers to say a
few words in each Newsletter, but I have previously been
trying to keep my own personal views out of any Project
Gutenberg materials.
In a small effort to give something to both sides:
Here is a short file from when Project Gutenberg had only
a small handful of titles, this one was never numbered or
listed in our index. . .perhaps if we collected up more.
THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
(A VISIT FROM ST. NICHOLAS)
by Clement Clarke Moore
THE MILLENNIUM FULCRUM EDITION, 1988
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that ST. NICHOLAS soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
"Now, DASHER! now, DANCER! now, PRANCER and VIXEN!
On, COMET! on CUPID! on, DONDER and BLITZEN!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
"HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT."
JEST 'FORE CHRISTMAS
by Eugene Field
THE MILLENNIUM FULCRUM EDITION, 1988
Father calls me William, sister calls me Will,
Mother calls me Willie, but the fellers call me Bill!
Mighty glad I ain't a girl -- ruther be a boy,
Without them sashes, curls, an' things that's worn by Fauntleroy!
Love to chawnk green apples an' go swimmin' in the lake --
Hate to take the castor-ile they give for belly-ache!
'Most all the time the whole year round, there ain't no flies on me,
But jest 'fore Christmas, I'm as good as I kin be!
Got yeller dog named Sport, sick him on the cat;
First thing she knows she doesn't know where she is at!
Got a clipper sled, an' when us kids goes out to slide,
'Long comes the grocery cart, an' we all hook a ride!
But sometimes when the grocery man is worrited an' cross,
He reaches at us with his whip, an' larrups up his hoss,
An' then I laff an' holler, "Oh, ye never teched ME!"
But jest 'fore Christmas, I'm as good as I kin be!
Gran'ma says she hopes that when I git to be a man,
I'll be a missionarer like her oldest brother, Dan,
As was et up by the cannibuls that lives in Ceylon's Isle,
Where every prospeck pleases, an' only man is vile!
But gran'ma she has never been to see a Wild West show,
Nor read the Life of Daniel Boone, or else I guess she'd know
That Buff'lo Bill and cowboys is good enough for me!
EXCEP' jest 'fore Christmas, when I'm as good as I kin be!
And then old Sport he hangs around, so solemn-like an' still,
His eyes they keep a-sayin': "What;s the matter, little Bill?"
The old cat sneaks down off her perch an' wonders what's become
Of them two enemies of hern that used to make things hum!
But I am perlite an' 'tend so earnestly to biz,
That mother says to father: "How improved our Willie is!"
But father, havin' been a boy hisself, suspicions me
When, jest 'fore Christmas, I'm as good as I kin be!
For Christmas, with its lots an' lots of candies, cakes, an' toys,
Was made, they say, for proper kids an' not for naughty boys;
So wash yer face an' brush yer hair, an' mind yer p's an' q's,
An' don't bust out yer pantaloons, an' don't wear out yer shoes;
Say :Yessum" to the ladies, an' "Yessur" to the men,
An' when they's company, don't pass yer plate for pie again;
But, thinkin' of the things yer'd like to see upon that tree,
Jest 'fore Christmas be as good as yer kin be!

THANKS to everyone who has sent a donation. Please think of
us for your holiday and end-of-year giving.
Here is all the new information, some reducancy,
as this just came in, and I am just pasting it in here:
HOW TO MAKE A DONATION TO PROJECT GUTENBERG
Project Gutenberg's success is due to the hard work of thousands of
volunteers over more than 30 years. Your donations make it possible
to support these volunteers, and pay our few employees to continue the
creation of free electronic texts.
Donations are made to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation (PGLAF), a corporation registered in the US State of
Mississippi. PGLAF is approved as a charitable 501(c)(3) organization
by the US Internal Revenue Service, and has the Federal Employee
Information Number (EIN) 64-6221541.
More information about PGLAF is available. Visit
http://promo.net/pg/fundraising, or email the PGLAF's chief executive
officer (and volunteer), Dr. Gregory B. Newby <gbnewby@ils.unc.edu>
There are several ways to donate. We want you to make a donation in
the best way for you, so have tried to make it easy.
In summary, we can accept checks or money orders in any national
currency, wire transfer or electronic funds transfer, and credit
cards.
If you want to make a donation in a way that's not specified below,
please contact us!
1. Send a check or money order in US funds.
Our address is listed above:
2. Send a check or money order in non-US funds. This can go to the
same address as in #1 above. The bank sends non-US funds for
"collection" and a fee is charged. This fee is difficult to know in
advance, but usually seems to be a few dollars. The exchange rate to
US funds is at market value.
3. Use NetworkForGood. This is a Web site that accepts credit card
donations and does not charge overhead. Donation is simple, similar
to most online purchase transactions. A credit card with a mailing
address in the US is required.
The URL to donate is:
http://www.guidestar.org/partners/networkforgood/donate.jsp?ein=64-6221541
Your name, mailing address and email address are required, as well as
your credit card information. You can choose to prevent sending your
personal data to PGLAF (also see our Privacy Policy, below). Your
credit card information is NEVER sent to PGLAF.
On the donation form, you can specify a designation for a specific
purpose. Although PGLAF will receive these specifications, all
donations to PGLAF go to general operating funds.
Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover are accepted.
NetworkForGood covers the normal transaction fees (up to about $2.50
per transaction) and credit card overhead (usually about 2% per
transaction), so 100% of your intended donation amount goes to PGLAF.
Your credit card statement will show "Network For Good" as the payee,
but 100% will go to PGLAF by electronic funds transfer to our bank
account.
4. Use PayPal. PayPal is a Web site that accepts credit card and bank
transfer payments. You need to set up a PayPal account to donate via
PayPal. This requires providing credit card and/or bank information.
Visa and MasterCard are accepted.
Visit http://www.paypal.com
To make a donation to PGLAF, login to your PayPal account and select
"Send Money." When prompted, specify "donate@gutenberg.net" as the
recipient, and you will be presented with PGLAF's information. Send
the payment as you would any other payment.
Funds go directly to PGLAF via PayPal.
The fee charged by PayPal for payments is 2.9% of the transaction plus
30 cents per transaction. (For a $100 payment, this amounts to $3.20
or 3.2%. For $10, the fee is $0.59 or 5.9%).
PayPal accepts non-US accounts and funds.
5. Wire transfer. There is a fixed fee of $15 to accept a wire
transfer to our bank account, which must be in US funds. For medium
and large donations, this may be more efficient than some other
methods. Email gbnewby@ils.unc.edu if you would like to set up a wire
transfer.
PRIVACY POLICY FOR DONATIONS
In order to meet IRS tax regulations, PGLAF keeps track of the names,
addresses, donation amounts and donation methods of non-anonymous
donors. We normally send a postal or email "thank you" letter when we
receive your donation.
We do not provide any information about donors to any party outside of
PGLAF and its employees for any purpose, except as required by law.
We will not send subsequent postal or electronic mail or attempt to
phone you. If you would like to subscribe to one of the Project
Gutenberg email lists, to receive the monthly or weekly newsletter,
please visit http://www.gutenberg.net for instructions.

or
<ftp://ibiblio.unc.edu/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext03>
You will need the first five letters of the filenames listed below.
Note that updated etexts usually go in their original

Looking for non-English etexts? Try the "advanced search"
feature at:
http://promo.net/cgi-promo/pg/t9.cgi
This allows you to search by language. Currently, there are
etexts in German, French, Italian, Bulgarian, Flemish/Dutch,
Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, and Welsh, plus a
version of the Bible in Swedish.
And very-recently we added our first etext in Greek.
Let's do even more than the hundred eBooks we have
presented in 17 languages.

collection, view http://promo.net/pg/list.html
We're always looking for new mirrors, especially outside
of North America. For information about how to set one
up, contact Greg Newby <gbnewby@ils.unc.edu>

The most recent list we received indicated these were all "life +50"
countries for copyright expiration:
Angola, Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belize,
Benin, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Canada, Chile, China, the Czech
Republic, Egypt, El Salvador, Fiji, Ghana, Iceland, Indonesia, Japan,
(South) Korea, Latvia, Lebanon, Malawi, Morocco, Nepal, New Zealand,
Oman, Pakistan, Panama, the Philippines, Poland, Qatar, St. Vincent
and the Grenadines, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Solomon Islands, South
Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Togo, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia,
and Ukraine.
Works which are in the public domain in Australia and other "Life +50"
countries may remain copyrighted in other countries. People may not
download, or read online, such books if they are in a country where
copyright protections extend more than 50 years past an author's death.
The author's estate and publishers still retain their legal and moral
rights to oversee the work in those countries. That still leaves a lot
of readers out there to enjoy etexts of some of the greatest literary
works of the twentieth century.

And now the weekly Etext update:
Total PG ebooks available online **AS OF 12/19/01**: 4,224
(This number includes the 34 etexts posted at the PG Australia web site.)
Thru 12/19/01: 50 Weeks & 2 Days (352 days)
1,175 total new etexts, yr-to-date.
Weekly avg.: 23.44
Daily avg: 3.32
The above translates to the following;
Our Total For The Year Is About 1,172 For 352 days,
this is 3.33 per day or 99.89 Per 30 day month. . . .
This Would Yield About 1,215 For The Year. . . .
We are about 50 weeks through the year. . . .
counting each Wednesday as ending one week.
The 26th would be our last Newsletter, so I
am wondering if we missed counting a week.
52 x 7 = 364. . .so should always be 52 Wednesdays.
Five years ago, in Dec 1996, we announced etext #768; this
represented the output for the first 25 years of Project
Gutenberg. Five years later there are more than 4,200 etexts
on line.

[Are Copyright Royalties Only Paid By The "Have-Nots???]
GROUPS REACH TENTATIVE DEAL ON WEBCAST ROYALTIES
Attorneys representing radio broadcasters, record labels and music artists
have signed a tentative settlement in an ongoing dispute over whether radio
broadcasters owe additional royalty payments when they put their stations'
programming online. If the deal is finalized, it could be an important step
toward resolving the tangle of legal issues surrounding online music. Radio
companies currently do not pay recording firms royalties on songs they
broadcast over the airwaves and have argued that the exemption should apply
to online "Webcasts" as well. That issue is now on appeal. The current
agreement depends on the U.S. Copyright Office to support arbitration to
resolve the question of a royalty rate to be paid by Internet-only
Webcasters who offer music online but don't own any radio stations.

[Is This Fighting The New Bigshots Being Able To Buy In Cheap???]
HEWLETT URGES HP AND COMPAQ TO CALL OFF MERGER
Walter Hewlett, son of Hewlett-Packard co-founder William Hewlett, has sent
a letter to the boards of both HP and Compaq, urging them to call off their
$22.8-billion merger. "There is enormous unhappiness out there about this
transaction. This unhappiness goes far beyond those shareholders and
analysts that have spoken out publicly," said Hewlett in his letter. He
warned that by pushing ahead, HP and Compaq both would suffer "serious and
increasing adverse consequences^E Value is being lost here by both companies
with each day that passes. The market clearly agrees." Compaq's board on
Thursday said it strongly disagrees with Hewlett's conclusions and believes
that the merger would create long-term shareholder value. Meanwhile, HP
officials have suggested that Hewlett's opposition to the deal places him
in a conflict-of-interest position, and that he should consider resigning
from the HP board. (Financial Times 13 Dec 2001)

CONGRESS HAS LOW INTEREST IN CONSTITUENT (E-)MAIL
A test by a New York Times reporter found that e-mail sent to Congressional
offices is unlikely to be read. After sending messages to 65 Senate offices
identifying herself as a reporter for the Times doing a story on e-mail
message-handling by members of Congress, she received only 27 automated
response and 7 other responses within two weeks. One of seven full
responses was from Larry Neal, the deputy chief of staff for Senator Phil
Gramm of Texas, who explained: "The communication that Sen. Gramm values
most certainly does not arrive by wire. It is the one where someone sat

RELEASE OF RUSSIAN PROGRAMMER
Dmitry Sklyarov, the 27-year-old Russian programmer arrested in the U.S.
for violating the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) by writing and
promoting code that could be used to evade the copy-protection features of
the Adobe Acrobat eBook Reader, is being released, but the U.S. government
will continue its prosecution of his employer, ElcomSoft of Moscow.
Skylarov's cause was embraced by a worldwide collection of programmers,
scientists, free-speech advocates and civil libertarians who organized
"Free Dmitry" rallies. (San Jose Mercury News 14 Dec 2001)

LINGUIST SAYS: RELAX ABOUT NETSPEAK
In his new book "Language and the Internet," Welsh linguist David Crystal
welcomes the way the Internet "shows language expanding richly in all sorts
of directions," including instant-message-abbreviations ("RUOK" for "Are
you okay?") and iconic abbreviations such as :) and its frowning, winking,
and various other cousins. "A whole new medium of communication does not
arrive very often in the history of the race. The Internet is a genuine
third medium of communication," which will in the future "probably be the
main way we humans communicate." He urges the language purists to relax,
let language develop naturally, and avoid being "depressingly
prescriptive." "If I leave out the punctuation in an e-mail, you don't say,
'Crystal doesn't know his grammar.' You say, 'Crystal's in a hurry.'" He
predicts that the conventions of Internet use will emerge on their own:
"We'll learn gradually what works and what doesn't, just as we've already
learned that if we type out a whole sentence in capital letters, it upsets
people." (New York Times 13 Dec 2001)

FBI CONFIRMS DEVELOPMENT OF KEYSTROKE-CAPTURING EAVESDROP TECHNOLOGY
The FBI has confirmed that it has under development a technology that could

MICROSOFT FIXING SECURITY FLAW IN INTERNET EXPLORER
Finnish security researcher Jouko Pynnonen of Oy Online Solutions says that
Microsoft is working on a software patch to fix a security vulnerability in
Internet Explorer versions 5, 5.5, and 6, which would make it possible for
a malicious intruder to exploit ordinary Web page code to bypass the
browse's system for securely handling downloaded files. A Microsoft
spokesperson declined to discuss the status of the browser patch at this

DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING FINDS LARGEST PRIME
A 20-year-old Canadian man has identified the world's largest prime number
using a desktop computer linked to a 210,000-machine quasi-supercomputer
distributed around the globe. Michael Cameron, a participant in the Great
Internet Mersenne Prime Search that uses the PrimeNet network system to
perform calculations, announced his discovery that "2 to the 13,466,917th
power minus 1" is the largest prime number. (Mersenne primes are named
after Marin Mersenne, a French monk born in 1588 who investigated a
particular type of prime number: 2 to the power of "p" minus one, in which
"p" is an ordinary prime number.) The concept of distributed computing is
not limited to the academic world. Companies such as Intel and Sun
Microsystems use it for designing microprocessors, and the idea is closely
linked to "grid" computing, which unites computers and storage systems into
a single pool of resources. (CNet News.com 13 Dec 2001)

[Remember What I've Been Saying About Pay-Per-View???]
CABLE LOOKS TO VOD FOR NEW REVENUE
Cable TV systems are set to turn up the volume on video-on-demand in 2002,
as they seek to boost profits while taking advantage of their
multi-billion-dollar investment in digital TV upgrades. "How many people
are interested in the couple of hundred extra channels (available on
digital cable)? They need something to drive digital, and that's going to
be VOD," says an analyst at CIBC Markets. Charter Communications is
currently the leader in rolling out VOD, offering the service in 12 markets
to approximately one-third of its 6.9 million customers. Charter's early
marketing studies show that, in addition to boosting demand for digital
services, VOD reduces churn -- the number of subscribers who drop the
service. "It's a real differentiator for us," says Charter VP Jim
Henderson. "It's not something that satellite (TV) can easily offer."
Analysts say cable's efforts to lure VOD subscribers could be a
double-edged sword. Cable firms have enough bandwidth and servers to
accommodate 10% of their subscribers ordering VOD at the same time, and a
surge in VOD demand would overwhelm cable network capacity. Cable's real
problem, however, remains access to content -- Hollywood studios are
demanding 60% of VOD revenue, as opposed to the traditional 50-50 split for
pay-per-view movies. So far, cable firms have struck deals with only Sony's
Columbia TriStar and Vivendi's Universal Pictures, although No. 2 cable
operator AOL Time Warner can count on its own stable of HBO programming and
other content for its planned subscription VOD service.

FREE CELL PHONE MINUTES DWINDLING
Free minutes -- one of the perks that's successfully enticed many people to
sign up for cell phone service -- are slowly being phased out, as carriers
look for ways to ease network congestion and introduce consistency to their
nationwide calling plans. Sprint PCS recently became the latest carrier to
shift the start time for its night calling period to 9 p.m. from 8 p.m.,
following similar moves in many markets by Cingular Wireless and Verizon
Wireless. The number of U.S. cell phone subscribers is nearly 130 million,
almost double the level three years ago, and companies say their success in
attracting users is also overloading their network capacity, causing more
dropped calls and busy signals. By moving the start of off-peak calling
back an hour, they're better able to keep residential and business traffic
from overlapping. (USA Today 11 Dec 2001)

CONGRESS FACES DEFINING ISSUE OVER COPYRIGHT LAW
Interactive Web radio stations may be granted the same licenses
other radio stations have if proposed changes to the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act are accepted by Congress. A House
Judiciary Committee will review the proposal, which the
Recording Industry Association of America opposes. Current law
limits the type of radio broadcasts that recording studios must
offer licenses to, and the Web broadcasters in the Digital Media
Association want to broaden that definition. Metrics firm
MeasureCast said the number of people listening to Internet
radio in October tripled since January, and Jupiter Media Metrix
has said 30 million consumers will have bought music online this year.

A WIN-WIN SITUATION DOWN AT THE LAB
Media Lab Europe (MLE), the counterpart of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology's Media Lab, has set up its own
venture capital arm to help distribute the benefits of
research evenly between inventors and corporate sponsors.
Companies provide the cash for the new Media Lab Ventures
group and share in the rewards. But, by providing open access
to funds, researchers have more freedom in their projects and
do not feel they must shield research that could potentially
be the base of their own startup company. As a result, MLE
chief executive Rudolf Burger expects more licenses to come
from the laboratory and fewer spinoffs that drain talent. MLE
was launched in 2000 by Nicholas Negroponte, who also set up
the U.S. Media Lab. He set up shop in Dublin, in return for
a $32 million grant from the Irish government, which is eager
to bolster foreign investment. (Financial Times, 17 December 2001)

E-TEXT FINDS ITS WAY ON CAMPUS
The University of Phoenix will stop using textbooks in favor
of online reading materials. The phase-out will be conducted
over a year, affecting 95,000 students nationwide. Students
will be required to pay $70 per course to access an online
reference library that provides reading materials, work books,
and syllabi. A pilot program was launched across its U.S.
campuses last month. "We were looking to create one-stop
shopping for our students, a way to pick up everything you
need with just a click of the mouse," said VP of U-P metro
Detroit Ted Blashak. Officials at Michigan's Oakland and Wayne
State universities are also debating the use of e-texts but
are waiting until publishers create delivery standards for
electronic learning materials.

The United Kingdom announced a new 50-million-pound national
e-learning project named Curriculum On-line. The government,

in the initiative. Curriculum On-line aims to provide online
teaching resources on all educational subjects. In addition, the
project would help boost U.K. broadband services, said E-Commerce
Minister Douglas Alexander. Teachers would be able to offer
customized education programs for each student, he said. A
five-point plan created for the undertaking includes a library
of e-learning materials, access to commercial products, funds

The Project Gutenberg Mailing Lists
Project Gutenberg has five mailing lists. Here is information about
how to subscribe, unsubscribe, get your list configuration settings,
and retrieve back issues.
These are the Project Gutenberg mailing lists. People interested in
receiving regulary newsletters and other announcements about the
Project Gutenberg etexts should subscribe to gweekly or gmonthly:
"gweekly" = Weekly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gmonthly" = Monthly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gutvol-l" = General Private Announcements for active volunteers
"gutvol-d" = Discussion among active volunteers
"hhelpers" = Heroic Helpers: Work tasks for active volunteers (approval needed)
The "hhelpers" list requires an invitation or approval to subscribe,
the others are open for anyone to subscribe.
In May 2001, Michael Hart requested to divide the old "gutnberg" list
into two new lists:
gmonthly (for monthly newsletters)
gweekly (for weekly newsletters)
Instead of "gutnberg", which has been inactivated, please subscribe to
one of these two lists. Both receive the Project Gutenberg newsletter
on a monthly basis, but "gweekly" also receives weekly updates, which
help people to hear sooner about the latest books that were published
by Project Gutenberg. Each list receives periodic announcements about
Project Gutenberg, as well. Traffic is quite light on both.
To subscribe:
To SUBSCRIBE to any of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists, send an
email message to "lyris@listserv.unc.edu"
The subject line of the message will be ignored. The body of the
message should contain text such as:
subscribe gmonthly Your True Name
Where "gmonthly" is the list to subscribe to, and "Your True Name" is
replaced by your actual name. So if your name were Dudley P. Duck,
your message might contain:
subscribe gmonthly Dudley P. Duck
You do not need to include your email address, because Lyris gets it
from the header of your email message.
Beware that the address must be "lyris@listserv.unc.edu" You can't
address your message to an address such as "listserv" or
"listprocessor" or "majordom". However, for backward compatibility,
"listproc@lyris.unc.edu" still works, as does "lyris@lyris.unc.edu".
To Unsubscribe:
If you are trying to unsubscribe, please be aware that MANY different
mailing lists relay the Newsletters from Project Gutenberg and Ask
Dr. Internet, and that it is possible you do not receive our
newsletters directly from us. In any case of that nature, you would
have to deal with that mailing list directly. If you look through the
email header information, you should be able to tell how you got it.
But if you are on OUR lists, unsubscribing is easy. Send email to
"lyris@listserv.unc.edu" with the text:
unsubscribe gmonthly
where "gmonthly" is replaced by the list you want to unsubscribe from.
In addition, personalized unsubscribe information is appended to every
message you get from all of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists.
***
Archives and personal settings:
The Lyris Web interface has an easy way to browse past mailing list
contents, and change some personal settings. Visit
http://lyris.unc.edu and select one of the Project Gutenberg lists.
***
Trouble?
If you are having trouble subscribing, unsubscribing or with anything
else related to the mailing lists, please email
"owner-gutenberg@listserv.unc.edu" to contact the lists' (human)
administrator.
If you would just like a little more information about Lyris
features, you can find their help information at http://lyris.unc.edu/help

1,142 total new etexts, yr-to-date.

download, or read online, such books if they are in a country where
copyright protections extend more than 50 years past an author's death.
The author's estate and publishers still retain their legal and moral

--=={ ETEXT "COST" $$$: }==--
With 4,201 eTexts online as of December 12, it now takes an average of
100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $2.38 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have given away $1,000,000,000,000 [One
Trillion Dollars] in books.
*100,000,000 readers is one to two percent of the world's population!*
This "cost" is down from $2.46 when we had 4059 Etexts on November 1.
This "cost" is down from $2.53 when we had 3951 Etexts on October 3.

FIELD TRIPS TO THE LOUVRE, MINUS THE BUS
The Louvre museum, Pages Jaunes (the French Yellow Pages), and the
French Ministry of Education have collaborated on louvre.edu, a Web
site that allows students to take a virtual tour of the museum from
their classroom computers. Over 3,000 works of art and 350 exhibit
halls have been brought online. With louvre.edu, students can learn
not only about artwork, but also how to use the Internet. This is
especially important in a country where only 20 percent of
households have online access. The Web site was created in response
to a mandate from Prime Minister Lionel Jospin to make the Web
accessible to French schools and administrative offices. The site
features a cyberdesk where students can store artwork for easy
reference. The site's appeal is not restricted to art classes:
Teachers of ancient civilizations and languages are supplementing
their material with connections to louvre.edu

GUT CHANGE: E-BOOK RETREAT AT AOL TIME WARNER
This past August, AOL Time Warner books division chairman Laurence
Kirschbaum acknowledged that demand for e-books was a little slow but that
his gut told him things would be all right: "It is taking longer than
expected, but everything in my gut says now is the time to push harder
rather than slow down." But now the company is laying off almost all of the
29 employees in the e-book division. Mr. Kirschbaum says: "At some point
reality sets in and one has to be realistic about how much of an uphill
climb this is going to be. I have been wrong so far -- I have been
overoptimistic from the beginning, so at a certain point you have to
question whether your logic is sound." (New York Times 5 Dec 2001)

The Project Gutenberg Mailing Lists
Project Gutenberg has five mailing lists. Here is information about
how to subscribe, unsubscribe, get your list configuration settings,
and retrieve back issues.
These are the Project Gutenberg mailing lists. People interested in
receiving regulary newsletters and other announcements about the
Project Gutenberg etexts should subscribe to gweekly or gmonthly:
"gweekly" = Weekly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gmonthly" = Monthly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gutvol-l" = General Private Announcements for active volunteers
"gutvol-d" = Discussion among active volunteers
"hhelpers" = Heroic Helpers: Work tasks for active volunteers (approval needed)
The "hhelpers" list requires an invitation or approval to subscribe,
the others are open for anyone to subscribe.
In May 2001, Michael Hart requested to divide the old "gutnberg" list
into two new lists:
gmonthly (for monthly newsletters)
gweekly (for weekly newsletters)
Instead of "gutnberg", which has been inactivated, please subscribe to
one of these two lists. Both receive the Project Gutenberg newsletter
on a monthly basis, but "gweekly" also receives weekly updates, which
help people to hear sooner about the latest books that were published
by Project Gutenberg. Each list receives periodic announcements about
Project Gutenberg, as well. Traffic is quite light on both.
To subscribe:
To SUBSCRIBE to any of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists, send an
email message to "lyris@listserv.unc.edu"
The subject line of the message will be ignored. The body of the
message should contain text such as:
subscribe gmonthly Your True Name
Where "gmonthly" is the list to subscribe to, and "Your True Name" is
replaced by your actual name. So if your name were Dudley P. Duck,
your message might contain:
subscribe gmonthly Dudley P. Duck
You do not need to include your email address, because Lyris gets it
from the header of your email message.
Beware that the address must be "lyris@listserv.unc.edu" You can't
address your message to an address such as "listserv" or
"listprocessor" or "majordom". However, for backward compatibility,
"listproc@lyris.unc.edu" still works, as does "lyris@lyris.unc.edu".
To Unsubscribe:
If you are trying to unsubscribe, please be aware that MANY different
mailing lists relay the Newsletters from Project Gutenberg and Ask
Dr. Internet, and that it is possible you do not receive our
newsletters directly from us. In any case of that nature, you would
have to deal with that mailing list directly. If you look through the
email header information, you should be able to tell how you got it.
But if you are on OUR lists, unsubscribing is easy. Send email to
"lyris@listserv.unc.edu" with the text:
unsubscribe gmonthly
where "gmonthly" is replaced by the list you want to unsubscribe from.
In addition, personalized unsubscribe information is appended to every
message you get from all of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists.
***
Archives and personal settings:
The Lyris Web interface has an easy way to browse past mailing list
contents, and change some personal settings. Visit
http://lyris.unc.edu and select one of the Project Gutenberg lists.
***
Trouble?
If you are having trouble subscribing, unsubscribing or with anything
else related to the mailing lists, please email
"owner-gutenberg@listserv.unc.edu" to contact the lists' (human)
administrator.
If you would just like a little more information about Lyris
features, you can find their help information at http://lyris.unc.edu/help

Project Gutenberg depends on leverage, the leverage of using the Internet
to multiply the efforts of our few thousand volunteers to get that effort
to a few hundred million people. Your efforts through Project Gutenberg,
simple as though they may appear. . .typing, scanning, proofreading or an
assortment of other pieces required to get eBooks to the masses. . .are a
powerful beacon to people all over the world.
People ask me how I managed to keep working on Project Gutenberg during a
long initial period of 17 years before anyone ever had any response other
than that it was crazy to put Shakespeare in a computer. . .the answer is
that I could see every word I typed being read by 100,000,000 people.
Your work, on your favorite books, is VERY likely to reach 100,000,000 in
today's world, and even more likely in the world of tomorrow. Recently I
noted in our Newsletter that the world population has reached 6 billion--
meaning that we only had to reach 1.67% of the population to have reached
our target audience of 100,000,000 people. When Project Gutenberg began,
the population was around 3.678 billion, which meant we would need to get
our eTexts to 2.72% of the population to reach 100,000,000 people and the
percentange we need to reach to achieve our goal of 100,000,000 people is
continuing to drop, and will be closer to 1% than to 2% before population
is recorded at 6.7 billion, probably before we reach 2009.
Thus, even if your work only reaches 1% of the population, you will still
be able to reach 100,000,000 people. . .Wow! Talk About Leverage!!!!!!!
So. . .think about this while you are creating eBooks for the world. . .a
little effort on your part, perhaps spread out over days, weeks, or, even
months or years, could easily bring advancements in literacy, information
and the general standard of living to ONE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE.
That, in a nutshell, is the goal of Project Gutenberg.
For the first time, we have produced 1,000 eBooks in a single year, which
means we have to become even better at supporting you, our volunteers. I
welcome your suggestions and your efforts as to how to accomplish this.
Wishing You The Very Best Of New Years For 2002!
Michael S. Hart
Founder

Col Choat has moved his Project Gutenberg of Australia website
from: http://au.geocities.com/gutenberg_au/
to: http://gutenberg.net.au/
Here's more information from Project Gutenberg of Australia:
Project Gutenberg of Australia
Here in Oz we are celebrating the launch of our permanent PG site,
gutenberg.net.au, after being temporarily located at au.geocities.com
for a time.
We have 26 books listed which are in the public domain in Australia so
why not drop in and have a look! We also have listed all of the PG
etexts (from both the US and Oz sites) which were written by
Australians or which relate (loosely) to Australia.
Books enter the public domain in Australia 50 years after the author's
death, provided they were published during the author's lifetime. For
translations, the same rules apply to the person translating.
Therefore, we only need to be satisfied that the author died at least
50 years ago and that the work was published during his/her
lifetime. Copyright cannot be renewed or revived by subsequent
publication, nor does a copyright held by a person other than the
author have any validity in such cases.
Of course, works which are in the public domain in Australia may
remain copyrighted in other countries. People may not download, or
read online, such books if they are in a country where copyright
protections extend more than 50 years past an author's death. The
author's estate and publishers still retain their legal and moral
rights to oversee the work in those countries. That still leaves a lot
of readers out there to enjoy etexts of some of the greatest literary
works of the twentieth century.

The Project Gutenberg Mailing Lists
Project Gutenberg has five mailing lists. Here is information about
how to subscribe, unsubscribe, get your list configuration settings,
and retrieve back issues.
These are the Project Gutenberg mailing lists. People interested in
receiving regulary newsletters and other announcements about the
Project Gutenberg etexts should subscribe to gweekly or gmonthly:
"gweekly" = Weekly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gmonthly" = Monthly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gutvol-l" = General Private Announcements for active volunteers
"gutvol-d" = Discussion among active volunteers
"hhelpers" = Heroic Helpers: Work tasks for active volunteers (approval needed)
The "hhelpers" list requires an invitation or approval to subscribe,
the others are open for anyone to subscribe.
In May 2001, Michael Hart requested to divide the old "gutnberg" list
into two new lists:
gmonthly (for monthly newsletters)
gweekly (for weekly newsletters)
Instead of "gutnberg", which has been inactivated, please subscribe to
one of these two lists. Both receive the Project Gutenberg newsletter
on a monthly basis, but "gweekly" also receives weekly updates, which
help people to hear sooner about the latest books that were published
by Project Gutenberg. Each list receives periodic announcements about
Project Gutenberg, as well. Traffic is quite light on both.
To subscribe:
To SUBSCRIBE to any of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists, send an
email message to "lyris@listserv.unc.edu"
The subject line of the message will be ignored. The body of the
message should contain text such as:
subscribe gmonthly Your True Name
Where "gmonthly" is the list to subscribe to, and "Your True Name" is
replaced by your actual name. So if your name were Dudley P. Duck,
your message might contain:
subscribe gmonthly Dudley P. Duck
You do not need to include your email address, because Lyris gets it
from the header of your email message.
Beware that the address must be "lyris@listserv.unc.edu" You can't
address your message to an address such as "listserv" or
"listprocessor" or "majordom". However, for backward compatibility,
"listproc@lyris.unc.edu" still works, as does "lyris@lyris.unc.edu".
To Unsubscribe:
If you are trying to unsubscribe, please be aware that MANY different
mailing lists relay the Newsletters from Project Gutenberg and Ask
Dr. Internet, and that it is possible you do not receive our
newsletters directly from us. In any case of that nature, you would
have to deal with that mailing list directly. If you look through the
email header information, you should be able to tell how you got it.
But if you are on OUR lists, unsubscribing is easy. Send email to
"lyris@listserv.unc.edu" with the text:
unsubscribe gmonthly
where "gmonthly" is replaced by the list you want to unsubscribe from.
In addition, personalized unsubscribe information is appended to every
message you get from all of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists.
***
Archives and personal settings:
The Lyris Web interface has an easy way to browse past mailing list
contents, and change some personal settings. Visit
http://lyris.unc.edu and select one of the Project Gutenberg lists.
***
Trouble?
If you are having trouble subscribing, unsubscribing or with anything
else related to the mailing lists, please email
"owner-gutenberg@listserv.unc.edu" to contact the lists' (human)
administrator.
If you would just like a little more information about Lyris
features, you can find their help information at http://lyris.unc.edu/help
Thanks for your interest in Project Gutenberg's mailing lists! If you
would like more information about Project Gutenberg, including an easy
search tool to find and read our etexts, visit the Official Web Pages

Project Gutenberg depends on leverage, the leverage of using the Internet
to multiply the efforts of our few thousand volunteers to get that effort
to a few hundred million people. Your efforts through Project Gutenberg,
simple as though they may appear. . .typing, scanning, proofreading or an
assortment of other pieces required to get eBooks to the masses. . .are a
powerful beacon to people all over the world.
People ask me how I managed to keep working on Project Gutenberg during a
long initial period of 17 years before anyone ever had any response other
than that it was crazy to put Shakespeare in a computer. . .the answer is
that I could see every word I typed being read by 100,000,000 people.
Your work, on your favorite books, is VERY likely to reach 100,000,000 in
today's world, and even more likely in the world of tomorrow. Recently I
noted in our Newsletter that the world population has reached 6 billion--
meaning that we only had to reach 1.67% of the population to have reached
our target audience of 100,000,000 people. When Project Gutenberg began,
the population was around 3.678 billion, which meant we would need to get
our eTexts to 2.72% of the population to reach 100,000,000 people and the
percentange we need to reach to achieve our goal of 100,000,000 people is
continuing to drop, and will be closer to 1% than to 2% before population
is recorded at 6.7 billion, probably before we reach 2009.
Thus, even if your work only reaches 1% of the population, you will still
be able to reach 100,000,000 people. . .Wow! Talk About Leverage!!!!!!!
So. . .think about this while you are creating eBooks for the world. . .a
little effort on your part, perhaps spread out over days, weeks, or, even
months or years, could easily bring advancements in literacy, information
and the general standard of living to ONE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE.
That, in a nutshell, is the goal of Project Gutenberg.
For the first time, we have produced 1,000 eBooks in a single year, which
means we have to become even better at supporting you, our volunteers. I
welcome your suggestions and your efforts as to how to accomplish this.
Wishing You The Very Best Of New Years For 2002!
Michael S. Hart
Founder

***
Looking for non-English etexts? Try the "advanced search"
feature at:

23 French PG texts and 10 in Italian. Why not more...???

And now the weekly Etext update:
Total PG ebooks available online **AS OF 12/04/01**: 4,161
(This number includes the 27 etexts posted at the PG Australia web site.)
Thru 11/28/01: 48 Weeks & 2 Days (338 days)
1,103 total new etexts, yr-to-date.
Weekly avg.: 22.98
Daily avg: 3.26
The above translates to the following;
Our Total For The Year Is About 1,103 For 338 days,
this is 3.26 per day or 98.04 Per 30 day month. . . .
This Would Yield About 1,190 For The Year. . . .
We are about 48 weeks through the year. . . .
counting each Wednesday as ending one week.

The most recent list we received indicated these were all "life +50"
countries for copyright expiration:
Angola, Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belize,
Benin, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Canada, Chile, China, the Czech
Republic, Egypt, El Salvador, Fiji, Ghana, Iceland, Indonesia, Japan,
(South) Korea, Latvia, Lebanon, Malawi, Morocco, Nepal, New Zealand,
Oman, Pakistan, Panama, the Philippines, Poland, Qatar, St. Vincent
and the Grenadines, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Solomon Islands, South
Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Togo, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia,
and Ukraine.
Works which are in the public domain in Australia and other "Life +50"
countries may remain copyrighted in other countries. People may not
download, or read online, such books if they are in a country where
copyright protections extend more than 50 years past an author's death.
The author's estate and publishers still retain their legal and moral
rights to oversee the work in those countries. That still leaves a lot
of readers out there to enjoy etexts of some of the greatest literary
works of the twentieth century.

EXCITE SEVERS AT&T USERS, CUTS TENTATIVE DEALS WITH CABLES
Excite@Home cut off 850,000 subscribers to AT&T's high-speed Internet
service, casting doubt on AT&T's plan to buy Excite's network assets. The
move came Friday after negotiations for a new service agreement collapsed,
following a bankruptcy court ruling earlier in the day that allowed Excite
to cancel such contracts with the cable operators that used its network.
Meanwhile, negotiations with Cox Communications and Comcast continued, and
service to their customers wasn't disrupted. Both companies have now signed
a non-binding letter of agreement that ensures Excite will continue to
carry their customers until they can migrate them to their own broadband
networks. Cox had announced plans last week to build its own network, but
said it could take some time until all its customers could be moved.
Charter Communications was able to transfer 90% of its Excite customers to
its own network and will resume talks with Excite to establish an interim
contract to service Charter's 14,000 customers in Washington and Oregon,
who have not yet been switched over. AT&T says it has now restored service
to some 225,000 customers by moving them onto its own network, and the
company says it could take as long as 10 days to fully restore service to
its other subscribers. Competitors were quick to seize advantage of the
confusion -- Qwest announced it could migrate AT&T customers to its own
network and give them $300 in free services, and Covad offered a special
promotion to Excite@Home customers to use their dialup services while
waiting for their DSL installation. DirecTV made a similar offer.

EXCITE THREATENS TO CUT OFF BROADBAND SERVICE
More than a third of all U.S. residential broadband users face having their
service cut off at the end of this week unless a dispute between the cable
companies offering the service and Excite@Home, which provides the network,
is resolved. Excite's creditors have asked a California bankruptcy judge to
shut down the service if the cable companies that rely on Excite's network
don't agree to change their contracts with the company. Excite's biggest
customers are AT&T, Comcast and Cox. The creditors have also demanded that
AT&T, which controls Excite, increase its bid for Excite's network assets
from $307 million to more than $1 billion. More than 3 million U.S. homes
with broadband access rely on Excite's service. (Financial Times 28 Nov 2001)

CALIFORNIA SELLS BIRTH DATA TO PRIVATE WEB SITE, 'RAISES RED FLAG'
The State of California has sold the birth data of California residents to
a privately operated genealogy Web site that can now be used to retrieve
such personal data as someone's place of birth or mother's maiden name --
information frequently used as identifying information for purposes of
accessing bank accounts and making various kinds of financial transactions.
State Senator Jackie Spier (D, San Mateo) warns: "The time has come for us
to recognize that identity theft has become a big problem. The fact that
this information is public should raise a red flag." (San Jose Mercury News

GOVERNMENT ALREADY MONITORING MODEMS
Administration officials have revealed that they are making good
use of the new electronic surveillance powers granted them under
the USA Patriot Act recently signed into law. Speaking at a
Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, assistant attorney general
Michael Chertoff said the new powers to obtain information
without court order have allowed the Justice Department to
investigate more thoroughly. He added that the new law also was
helping to bring law enforcement and intelligence investigations
closer together. Cable modem users can now be monitored without
requiring the permission of a judge. Section 211 of the act
alters federal law so that cable operators can disclose
subscribers' personally identifiable information to government
agencies. Chertoff said the government also has the power to
obtain court orders for logging information from out-of-district
ISPs. (Wired News, 28 November 2001)

Articles From Edupage
WHY COPYRIGHT LAWS HURT CULTURE
Speaking at the Darklight Digital Film Festival in Dublin,
Stanford technology law professor Lawrence Lessig said that
American copyright laws no longer serve artists, acting instead
for the advantage of copyright holders. This control is causing
culture and intellectual history to decline and is stifling
technological innovation, he concluded. People now need
permission to create derivative works of copyrighted material,
shifting the power to build culture into the hands of the
property owners, Lessig said. He believes digital and Internet
technologies have the potential to diversify and open up culture,
giving artists more control over their creations and breaking
the power of monopolistic companies. Already, corporate copyright
"hoarders" are fighting technological breakthroughs such as
peer-to-peer communications programs that bypass copyright
controls, Lessig noted. Furthermore, Lessig declared that the
younger generation of "netizens" is characterized by indifference
and non-involvement in politics, significantly handicapping
efforts to change the system. (Wired News, 27 November 2001)
WINDOWS XP FAILS TO SPARK DEMAND FOR PCS
Microsoft's Windows XP operating system has not spurred PC sales,
which are currently in the doldrums due to the economic slump and
the war against terrorism. Consumers and businesses are waiting
for the economy to bounce back before they purchase new systems.
NPD Intelect estimates that PC sales experienced a 1 percent
increase in the week following the debut of XP and a 2 percent
increase the following week before falling behind. Analysts are
not expecting holiday sales to be much of an improvement. Gartner
expects the majority of business PCs to be running Windows 2000
next year, while only 16 percent will be running Windows XP.
Nevertheless, PC manufacturers and retailers are planning to
boost sales by offering special deals to shoppers who purchase
systems with Windows XP. (USA Today, 26 November 2001)
RED HAT COUNTERS MICROSOFT'S EDUCATION OFFER
Microsoft has proposed settling over 100 private antitrust
lawsuits by pledging to donate more than $1 billion in hardware,
software, services, and training to the poorest schools in the
United States, but Red Hat has put forward a counter-proposal. It
will offer its open-source Red Hat Linux operating system to all
U.S. school districts free of charge, and has suggested that
Microsoft concentrate solely on purchasing new hardware. In this
way, more computers could be made available to schools and
Microsoft's monopoly would not be extended further into the
education sector, says Red Hat CEO Matt Szulik. He estimates
that over one million computers could be allocated to schools
under the new proposal, compared to 200,000 under the old one. In
addition, Szulik says that Red Hat will provide free software
upgrades and license renewals in perpetuity, whereas Microsoft
would only provide such services for five years.

The Project Gutenberg Mailing Lists
Project Gutenberg has five mailing lists. Here is information about
how to subscribe, unsubscribe, get your list configuration settings,
and retrieve back issues.
These are the Project Gutenberg mailing lists. People interested in
receiving regulary newsletters and other announcements about the
Project Gutenberg etexts should subscribe to gweekly or gmonthly:
"gweekly" = Weekly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gmonthly" = Monthly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gutvol-l" = General Private Announcements for active volunteers
"gutvol-d" = Discussion among active volunteers
"hhelpers" = Heroic Helpers: Work tasks for active volunteers (approval needed)
The "hhelpers" list requires an invitation or approval to subscribe,
the others are open for anyone to subscribe.
In May 2001, Michael Hart requested to divide the old "gutnberg" list
into two new lists:
gmonthly (for monthly newsletters)
gweekly (for weekly newsletters)
Instead of "gutnberg", which has been inactivated, please subscribe to
one of these two lists. Both receive the Project Gutenberg newsletter
on a monthly basis, but "gweekly" also receives weekly updates, which
help people to hear sooner about the latest books that were published
by Project Gutenberg. Each list receives periodic announcements about
Project Gutenberg, as well. Traffic is quite light on both.
To subscribe:
To SUBSCRIBE to any of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists, send an
email message to "lyris@listserv.unc.edu"
The subject line of the message will be ignored. The body of the
message should contain text such as:
subscribe gmonthly Your True Name
Where "gmonthly" is the list to subscribe to, and "Your True Name" is
replaced by your actual name. So if your name were Dudley P. Duck,
your message might contain:
subscribe gmonthly Dudley P. Duck
You do not need to include your email address, because Lyris gets it
from the header of your email message.
Beware that the address must be "lyris@listserv.unc.edu" You can't
address your message to an address such as "listserv" or
"listprocessor" or "majordom". However, for backward compatibility,
"listproc@lyris.unc.edu" still works, as does "lyris@lyris.unc.edu".
To Unsubscribe:
If you are trying to unsubscribe, please be aware that MANY different
mailing lists relay the Newsletters from Project Gutenberg and Ask
Dr. Internet, and that it is possible you do not receive our
newsletters directly from us. In any case of that nature, you would
have to deal with that mailing list directly. If you look through the
email header information, you should be able to tell how you got it.
But if you are on OUR lists, unsubscribing is easy. Send email to
"lyris@listserv.unc.edu" with the text:
unsubscribe gmonthly
where "gmonthly" is replaced by the list you want to unsubscribe from.
In addition, personalized unsubscribe information is appended to every
message you get from all of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists.
***
Archives and personal settings:
The Lyris Web interface has an easy way to browse past mailing list
contents, and change some personal settings. Visit
http://lyris.unc.edu and select one of the Project Gutenberg lists.
***
Trouble?
If you are having trouble subscribing, unsubscribing or with anything
else related to the mailing lists, please email
"owner-gutenberg@listserv.unc.edu" to contact the lists' (human)
administrator.
If you would just like a little more information about Lyris
features, you can find their help information at http://lyris.unc.edu/help

Col Choat has moved his Project Gutenberg of Australia website
from: http://au.geocities.com/gutenberg_au/
to: http://gutenberg.net.au/
Here's more information from Project Gutenberg of Australia:
Project Gutenberg of Australia
Here in Oz we are celebrating the launch of our permanent PG site,
gutenberg.net.au, after being temporarily located at au.geocities.com
for a time.
We have 26 books listed which are in the public domain in Australia so
why not drop in and have a look! We also have listed all of the PG
etexts (from both the US and Oz sites) which were written by
Australians or which relate (loosely) to Australia.
Books enter the public domain in Australia 50 years after the author's
death, provided they were published during the author's lifetime. For
translations, the same rules apply to the person translating.
Therefore, we only need to be satisfied that the author died at least
50 years ago and that the work was published during his/her
lifetime. Copyright cannot be renewed or revived by subsequent
publication, nor does a copyright held by a person other than the
author have any validity in such cases.
Of course, works which are in the public domain in Australia may
remain copyrighted in other countries. People may not download, or
read online, such books if they are in a country where copyright
protections extend more than 50 years past an author's death. The
author's estate and publishers still retain their legal and moral
rights to oversee the work in those countries. That still leaves a lot
of readers out there to enjoy etexts of some of the greatest literary
works of the twentieth century.
If you require more information or would like to submit an etext,
contact Col Choat at colc@gutenberg.net.au.

And now the weekly Etext update:
Total PG ebooks available online **AS OF 11/28/01**: 4,153
(This number includes the 26 etexts posted at the PG Australia web site.)
"Reserved" count: 57!
Thru 11/28/01: 47 Weeks & 2 Days (331 days)
1,093 total new etexts, yr-to-date. Please advise, I may
Weekly avg.: 23.09 have added the 7 new .au's twice!
Daily avg: 3.28
The above translates to the following;
Our Total For The Year Is About 1,093 For 331 days,
this is 3.30 per day or 99.06 Per 30 day month. . . .
This Would Yield About 1,205 For The Year. . . .
We are about 47 weeks through the year. . . .
counting each Wednesday as ending one week.

INTEL ANNOUNCES ANOTHER TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGH
Intel has developed a new structure and material for making transistors,
enabling the chipmaker to pack more and faster circuits onto silicon chips,
while reducing heat and power consumption. The new technology, dubbed "the
terahertz transistor," will enable Intel to develop chips with capabilities
such as real-time voice and face recognition. The company says the
terahertz transistors will be as small as 15 nanometers across, compared
with the 70 nanometers currently possible. Some elements of the new
technology will begin appearing in Intel chips as early as 2005. (Wall
Street Journal 26 Nov 2001)

SEARCH ENGINES DIG TOO DEEP
Search engines increasingly are unearthing private information such as
passwords, credit card numbers, classified documents, and even computer
vulnerabilities that can be exploited by hackers. "The overall problem is
worse than it was in the early days, when you could do AltaVista searches
on the word 'password' and up come hundreds of password files," says
Christopher Klaus, founder and CTO of Internet Security Systems, who notes
that a new tool built into Google to find a variety of file types is
exacerbating the problem. "What's happening with search engines like Google
adding this functionality is that there are a lot more targets to go
after." Google has been revamped to sniff out a wider array of files,
including Adobe PostScript, Lotus 1-2-3, MacWrite, Microsoft Excel,
PowerPoint, Word, and Rich Text Format. Google disavows responsibility for
the security problem, but the company is working on ways to limit the
amount of sensitive information exposed. "Our specialty is discovering,
crawling and indexing publicly available information," says a Google
spokesman. "We define 'public' as anything placed on the public Internet
and not blocked to search engines in any way. The primary burden falls to
the people who are incorrectly exposing this information. But at the same
time, we're certainly aware of the problem , and our development team is
exploring different solutions behind the scenes." (CNET News.com 26 Nov

"Few things can help an individual more than to place responsibility
on him, and to let him know that you trust him." (Booker T. Washington)
WORTH THINKING ABOUT: LIFESTYLES AND CHOICES
NewsScan Daily subscriber Lynn Kearny writes: "I was really glad to
see ideas from "The Lexus and the Olive Tree" featured in Worth Thinking
About. I've gotten a lot of things worth thinking about from reading
Friedman's book. Here is the concept that I find resonates most in my mind
since reading it, and even more so since the events of 9/11:
"Olive trees are important. They represent everything that roots us,
anchors us, identifies us and locates us in this world -- whether it be
belonging to a family, a community, a tribe, a nation, a religion or, most
of all, a place called home. Olive trees are what give us the warmth of
family, the joy of individuality, the intimacy of personal rituals, the
depth of private relationships, as well as the confidence and security to
reach out and encounter others. We fight so intensely at times over our
olive trees because, at their best, they provide the feelings of
self-esteem and belonging that are as essential for human survival as food
in the belly. At worst, though, when taken to excess, an obsession with our
olive trees leads us to forge identities, bonds and communities based on
the exclusion of others, and at their very worst, when these obsessions
really run amok as with the Nazis in Germany or the Serbs in Yugoslavia,
they lead us to the extermination of others.
"Conflicts between Serbs and Muslims, Jews and Palestinians,
Armenians and Azeris over who owns which olive tree are so venomous
precisely because they are about who will be at home and anchored in a
local world and who will not be. Their underlying logic is: I must control
this olive tree, because if the other controls it, not only will I be
economically and politically under his thumb, but my whole sense of home
will be lost. I'll never be able to take my shoes off and relax. Few things
are more enraging to people than to have their identity or their sense of
home stripped away. They will die for it, kill for it, sing for it, write
poetry for it, and novelize about it. Because without a sense of home and
belonging, life becomes barren and rootless. And life as a tumbleweed is no
life at all.
"So then what does the Lexus represent? It represents an equally
fundamental, age-old human drive -- the drive for sustenance, improvement,
prosperity and modernization -- as it is played out in today's
globalization system. The Lexus represents all the burgeoning global
markets, financial institutions and computer technologies with which we
pursue higher living standards today. Yet, for millions of people in
developing countries, the quest for material improvement still involves
walking to a well, plowing a field barefoot behind an ox or gathering wood
and carrying it on their heads for five miles. These people still upload
for a living, not download.
"For millions of others in developed countries, though, this quest
for material betterment and modernization is increasingly conducted in Nike
shoes, shopping in integrated markets and using the new network
technologies. While different people have different access to the new
markets and technologies that characterize the globalization system, and
derive highly unequal benefits from them, this doesn't change the fact that
they are the defining economic tools of the day and everyone is either
directly or indirectly affected by them...
"What we are looking at and for is how the age-old quests for
material betterment and for individual and communal identity -- which go
all the way back to Genesis -- play themselves out in today's dominant
international system of globalization. This is the drama of the Lexus and
the olive tree."

"Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness
that some things are really important, others not; and that the two kinds
are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs." (Christopher Morley)
HONORARY SUBSCRIBER: ALBERT SCHWEITZER
Today's Honorary Subscriber is Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965), who
gained fame in his lifetime as a musician, philosopher, theologian, and
medical missionary.
Born in Kaysersberg, a town near Strasbourg (then part of Germany),
he was educated at the universities of Strasbourg, Paris, and Berlin. His
1899 doctoral thesis in philosophy was on the religious philosophy of
Immanuel Kant and a year later he received a second doctorate in theology.
In 1906 he would publish "The Quest for the Historical Jesus" to begin the
worldwide attention paid throughout his lifetime to his research, lectures,
and writings in philosophy and theology.
When he was 21 Schweitzer decided on the course for his life. For
nine years he would dedicate himself to the study science, music, and
theology, and then he would devote the rest of his life to serving humanity
directly. In 1900 he was ordained as the curate of the Church of Saint
Nicholas in Strasbourg and a year later became principal of the theological
seminary there. By the age of 30 he was a respected writer on theology, an
accomplished organist, and an authority on the life and work of Johann
Sebastian Bach, whose compositions he performed in the simple, undistorted
style that subsequently became the performance standard.
In 1904 Schweitzer was inspired to become a medical missionary and in
1906, despite the protests of family and friends, he enrolled in medical
school. In 1912, toward the end of his medical studies, he married Helene
Bresslau, also an accomplished scholar, who studied nursing in order to
share her husband's work.
In 1913 the Schweitzers sailed for French Equatorial Africa with
medical supplies and 2,000 gold marks they had raised for the construction
of a hospital at Lambarene on the Ogowe River in French Equatorial Africa,
in what is now the republic of Gabon. Over the years his hospital grew into
a large, world-renowned institution that served thousands of African
patients. When his humanitarian work earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in
1952, he used his $33,000 award to expand the hospital further and to build
a leper colony.
Because he was a German citizen, Schweitzer was twice interned by the
French during World War I. He used these interruptions in his missionary
work to reflect on civilization and to seek a fundamental principle for his
philosophy. He adopted "Reverence for Life" as the key to understanding the
universe and the human mind and spirit, a world view he then set forth in
his 1923 book, "Philosophy of Civilization." For Schweitzer, reverence for
life included not only human life but also all other living things.
Schweitzer died at age 90 in 1965 and was buried at Lambarene in a simple
grave beside his wife who had died in 1957.
See http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0801860970/newsscancom/ for
Schweitzer's "Out of My Life and Thought" -- or look for it in your

The Project Gutenberg Mailing Lists
Project Gutenberg has five mailing lists. Here is information about
how to subscribe, unsubscribe, get your list configuration settings,
and retrieve back issues.
These are the Project Gutenberg mailing lists. People interested in
receiving regulary newsletters and other announcements about the
Project Gutenberg etexts should subscribe to gweekly or gmonthly:
"gweekly" = Weekly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gmonthly" = Monthly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gutvol-l" = General Private Announcements for active volunteers
"gutvol-d" = Discussion among active volunteers
"hhelpers" = Heroic Helpers: Work tasks for active volunteers (approval needed)
The "hhelpers" list requires an invitation or approval to subscribe,
the others are open for anyone to subscribe.
In May 2001, Michael Hart requested to divide the old "gutnberg" list
into two new lists:
gmonthly (for monthly newsletters)
gweekly (for weekly newsletters)
Instead of "gutnberg", which has been inactivated, please subscribe to
one of these two lists. Both receive the Project Gutenberg newsletter
on a monthly basis, but "gweekly" also receives weekly updates, which
help people to hear sooner about the latest books that were published
by Project Gutenberg. Each list receives periodic announcements about
Project Gutenberg, as well. Traffic is quite light on both.
To subscribe:
To SUBSCRIBE to any of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists, send an
email message to "lyris@listserv.unc.edu"
The subject line of the message will be ignored. The body of the
message should contain text such as:
subscribe gmonthly Your True Name
Where "gmonthly" is the list to subscribe to, and "Your True Name" is
replaced by your actual name. So if your name were Dudley P. Duck,
your message might contain:
subscribe gmonthly Dudley P. Duck
You do not need to include your email address, because Lyris gets it
from the header of your email message.
Beware that the address must be "lyris@listserv.unc.edu" You can't
address your message to an address such as "listserv" or
"listprocessor" or "majordom". However, for backward compatibility,
"listproc@lyris.unc.edu" still works, as does "lyris@lyris.unc.edu".
To Unsubscribe:
If you are trying to unsubscribe, please be aware that MANY different
mailing lists relay the Newsletters from Project Gutenberg and Ask
Dr. Internet, and that it is possible you do not receive our
newsletters directly from us. In any case of that nature, you would
have to deal with that mailing list directly. If you look through the
email header information, you should be able to tell how you got it.
But if you are on OUR lists, unsubscribing is easy. Send email to
"lyris@listserv.unc.edu" with the text:
unsubscribe gmonthly
where "gmonthly" is replaced by the list you want to unsubscribe from.
In addition, personalized unsubscribe information is appended to every
message you get from all of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists.
***
Archives and personal settings:
The Lyris Web interface has an easy way to browse past mailing list
contents, and change some personal settings. Visit
http://lyris.unc.edu and select one of the Project Gutenberg lists.
***
Trouble?
If you are having trouble subscribing, unsubscribing or with anything
else related to the mailing lists, please email
"owner-gutenberg@listserv.unc.edu" to contact the lists' (human)
administrator.
If you would just like a little more information about Lyris
features, you can find their help information at http://lyris.unc.edu/help

author's estate and publishers still retain their legal and moral rights to
oversee the work in those countries. That still leaves a lot of readers out
there to enjoy etexts of some of the greatest literary works of the

Col Choat has moved his Project Gutenberg of Australia website
from: http://au.geocities.com/gutenberg_au/
to: http://gutenberg.net.au/
Here's more information from Project Gutenberg of Australia:
Here in Oz we are celebrating the launch of our permanent PG site,
gutenberg.net.au, after being temporarily located at au.geocities.com
for a time.
We have 26 books listed which are in the public domain in Australia so
why not drop in and have a look! We also have listed all of the PG
etexts (from both the US and Oz sites) which were written by
Australians or which relate (loosely) to Australia.
Books enter the public domain in Australia 50 years after the author's
death, provided they were published during the author's lifetime. For
translations, the same rules apply to the person translating.
Therefore, we only need to be satisfied that the author died at least
50 years ago and that the work was published during his/her
lifetime. Copyright cannot be renewed or revived by subsequent
publication, nor does a copyright held by a person other than the
author have any validity in such cases.
Of course, works which are in the public domain in Australia may
remain copyrighted in other countries. People may not download, or
read online, such books if they are in a country where copyright
protections extend more than 50 years past an author's death. The
author's estate and publishers still retain their legal and moral
rights to oversee the work in those countries. That still leaves a lot
of readers out there to enjoy etexts of some of the greatest literary
works of the twentieth century.
If you require more information or would like to submit an etext,
contact Col Choat at colc@gutenberg.net.au.

And now the weekly Etext update:
Total PG ebooks available online **AS OF 11/28/01**: 4,153
(This number includes the 26 etexts posted at the PG Australia web site.)
"Reserved" count: 57!
Thru 11/28/01: 47 Weeks & 2 Days (331 days)
1,093 total new etexts, yr-to-date. Please advise, I may
Weekly avg.: 23.09 have added the 7 new .au's twice!
Daily avg: 3.28
The above translates to the following;
Our Total For The Year Is About 1,093 For 331 days,
this is 3.30 per day or 99.06 Per 30 day month. . . .
This Would Yield About 1,205 For The Year. . . .
We are about 47 weeks through the year. . . .
counting each Wednesday as ending one week.

GOOGLE EXPERIMENTS WITH USER RANKINGS
Google is fighting the trend toward the commercialization of Web search
engine rankings by conducting a controversial experiment that gives its
users a say in ranking Web sites' usefulness. If successful, the tool would
provide a more democratic process for determining the company's search
engine results, but the move has already sparked concerns among some search
experts who question its effectiveness. Meanwhile, people who specialize in
pushing sites into top rankings -- a process called search engine
optimization -- say the new twist just represents one more challenge. "Once
a search engine optimizer sets their sights on a search engine, it doesn't
take them long to figure out its weaknesses," says one search engine
optimizer. Google's quest for unbiased results come as search engines are
evolving into a hot marketing tool. Many Web sites, including Yahoo, AOL
and MSN openly run paid listings along with their unpaid results. And some
unscrupulous Web site operators have been known to skew search results by
including hidden text or misleading keywords on pages fed to spiders --
technology agents that search engines use to chart the Web. Google's
user-ranking system is still in the experimental stage, and although some
analysts applaud its good intentions, they say there's still opportunity
for abuse. "People who like their Web sites are going to go to their own
site and punch the happy-face button about a billion times, and people who
want to hurt their competitors will go to their competitors' sites and
punch the unhappy-face button," says Daniel Sullivan, editor of Search
Engine Watch. (CNet News.com 27 Nov 2001)

NEW "WORM" CAN CAPTURE KEYSTROKES
A malicious program called Badtrans is moving around the Internet and
worming itself into vulnerable computers and using a keystroke logger to
surreptitiously record passwords, credit data, and other information. A
virus manager at the security firm McAfee says that the worm "does no
damage to files but does drop a backdoor trojan on the machine which would
allow a hacker to come back and access personal information." Badtrans
spreads through Microsoft's Outlook or Outlook Express e-mail programs and
arrives with an attachment that can be executed simply by reading or
previewing it and doesn't need to be double-clicked or opened separately.

FBI TARGETS SUSPECTS' PCs WITH SPY VIRUS
The FBI is working on software that could insert a computer virus into a
suspect's computer capable of reading encrypted data. The software, known
as "Magic Lantern," installs "keylogging" software that can capture
keystrokes typed on a computer. The virus can be sent via e-mail and once
on the targeted PC, it waits for a suspect to launch the Pretty Good
Privacy encryption program and then logs the passphrase used to start the
program, essentially giving agents access to the keys needed to decrypt
files. The Magic Lantern software is part of the FBI's "Enhanced Carnivore
Project Plan," which operates under the umbrella project name of Cyber
Knight. Electronic Privacy Information Center attorney David Sobel says
privacy issues arise when keylogging results in "overly broad" searches,
since it would be possible to observe every keystroke typed by the suspect,
even if a court order specified only encryption keys. The FBI has already
used a less-sophisticated version of the software to build the high-profile
racketeering case against Nicodemo Scarfo, but had to manually turn the
system on and off in order to comply with the court order.

The Project Gutenberg Mailing Lists
Project Gutenberg has five mailing lists. Here is information about
how to subscribe, unsubscribe, get your list configuration settings,
and retrieve back issues.
These are the Project Gutenberg mailing lists. People interested in
receiving regulary newsletters and other announcements about the
Project Gutenberg etexts should subscribe to gweekly or gmonthly:
"gweekly" = Weekly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gmonthly" = Monthly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gutvol-l" = General Private Announcements for active volunteers
"gutvol-d" = Discussion among active volunteers
"hhelpers" = Heroic Helpers: Work tasks for active volunteers(approval needed)
The "hhelpers" list requires an invitation or approval to subscribe,
the others are open for anyone to subscribe.
In May 2001 we divided the old "gutnberg" list into two new lists:
gmonthly (for monthly newsletters)
gweekly (for weekly newsletters)
To subscribe:
To SUBSCRIBE to any of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists, send an
email message to "lyris@listserv.unc.edu"
The subject line of the message will be ignored. The body of the
message should contain text such as:
subscribe gmonthly Your True Name
Where "gmonthly" is the list to subscribe to, and "Your True Name" is
replaced by your actual name. So if your name were Dudley P. Duck,
your message might contain:
subscribe gmonthly Dudley P. Duck
You do not need to include your email address, because Lyris gets it
from the header of your email message.
Beware that the address must be "lyris@listserv.unc.edu" You can't
address your message to an address such as "listserv" or
"listprocessor" or "majordom". However, for backward compatibility,
"listproc@lyris.unc.edu" still works, as does "lyris@lyris.unc.edu".
To Unsubscribe:
If you are trying to unsubscribe, please be aware that MANY different
mailing lists relay the Newsletters from Project Gutenberg and Ask
Dr. Internet, and that it is possible you do not receive our
newsletters directly from us. In any case of that nature, you would
have to deal with that mailing list directly. If you look through the
email header information, you should be able to tell how you got it.
But if you are on OUR lists, unsubscribing is easy. Send email to
"lyris@listserv.unc.edu" with the text:
unsubscribe gmonthly
where "gmonthly" is replaced by the list you want to unsubscribe from.
In addition, personalized unsubscribe information is appended to every
message you get from all of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists.
***
Archives and personal settings:
The Lyris Web interface has an easy way to browse past mailing list
contents, and change some personal settings. Visit
http://lyris.unc.edu and select one of the Project Gutenberg lists.
***
Trouble?
If you are having trouble subscribing, unsubscribing or with anything
else related to the mailing lists, please email
"owner-gutenberg@listserv.unc.edu" to contact the lists' (human)
administrator.
If you would just like a little more information about Lyris
features, you can find their help information at http://lyris.unc.edu/help
Thanks for your interest in Project Gutenberg's mailing lists! If you
would like more information about Project Gutenberg, including an easy

Col Choate has moved his Project Gutenberg of Australia website
from: http://au.geocities.com/gutenberg_au/
to: http://gutenberg.net.au/
Here's more information from Project Gutenberg of Australia:
Project Gutenberg of Australia
Here in Oz we are celebrating the launch of our permanent PG site,
gutenberg.net.au, after being temporarily located at au.geocities.com
for a time.
We have 19 books listed which are in the public domain in Australia so
why not drop in and have a look! We also have listed all of the PG
etexts (from both the US and Oz sites) which were written by
Australians or which relate (loosely) to Australia.
Books enter the public domain in Australia 50 years after the author's
death, provided they were published during the author's lifetime. For
translations, the same rules apply to the person translating.
Therefore, we only need to be satisfied that the author died at least
50 years ago and that the work was published during his/her
lifetime. Copyright cannot be renewed or revived by subsequent
publication, nor does a copyright held by a person other than the
author have any validity in such cases.
Of course, works which are in the public domain in Australia may
remain copyrighted in other countries. People may not download, or
read online, such books if they are in a country where copyright
protections extend more than 50 years past an author's death. The
author's estate and publishers still retain their legal and moral
rights to oversee the work in those countries. That still leaves a lot
of readers out there to enjoy etexts of some of the greatest literary
works of the twentieth century.
If you require more information or would like to submit an etext,
contact Col Choat at colc@gutenberg.net.au.

And now the weekly Etext update:
Total PG ebooks available online **AS OF 11/14/01**: 4,112
(This number includes the 19 etexts posted at the PG Australia web site.)
Thru 10/31/01: 46 Weeks & 2 Days (324 days)
1,062 total new etexts, yr-to-date.
Weekly avg.: 23.09
Daily avg: 3.28
The above translates to the following;
Our Total For The Year Is About 1,062 For 324 days,
this is 3.28 per day or 98.33 Per 30 day month. . . .
This Would Yield About 1,197 For The Year. . . .
We are about 46 weeks through the year. . . .
counting each Wednesday as ending one week.

FBI TARGETS SUSPECTS' PCs WITH SPY VIRUS
The FBI is working on software that could insert a computer virus into a
suspect's computer capable of reading encrypted data. The software, known
as "Magic Lantern," installs "keylogging" software that can capture
keystrokes typed on a computer. The virus can be sent via e-mail and once
on the targeted PC, it waits for a suspect to launch the Pretty Good
Privacy encryption program and then logs the passphrase used to start the
program, essentially giving agents access to the keys needed to decrypt
files. The Magic Lantern software is part of the FBI's "Enhanced Carnivore
Project Plan," which operates under the umbrella project name of Cyber
Knight. Electronic Privacy Information Center attorney David Sobel says
privacy issues arise when keylogging results in "overly broad" searches,
since it would be possible to observe every keystroke typed by the suspect,
even if a court order specified only encryption keys. The FBI has already
used a less-sophisticated version of the software to build the high-profile

NOBEL LAUREATES OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THE INTERNET
A newly released Cisco Systems-sponsored survey has found that 71 of 259
living Nobel laureates (mostly scientists) are generally optimistic about
the promise of the Internet to continue improving education and science
over the next decades and opening up dialogues between different cultures
and countries to produce a safer world. The survey was conducted between
July and October of this year. (San Jose Mercury News 20 Nov 2001)

HONORARY SUBSCRIBER: SIR CHRISTOPHER WREN
Today's Honorary Subscriber is the renowned architect Sir Christopher
Wren (1632-1723), who was also highly regarded by Newton and Pascal for his
scientific work in astronomy and geometry.
Considered the greatest English architect of his time, he was
knighted in 1673 and was a founder of the Royal Society, serving as its
president in the years 1680-1682. Wren's opportunity for lasting fame came
in 1666 when the Great Fire of London reduced two-thirds of the city to a
smoking wasteland. Initially called upon to plan the rebuilding of the
entire city, his design was judged impractical, and his actual role was
reduced to the rebuilding of 51 churches, including a newly designed St.
Paul's Cathedral.
Except for St. Paul's, his churches were modest structures consisting
of a spire and an interior space, often set on cramped, irregular sites.
Wren concerned himself only with the general plan, leaving the interior to
be decorated according to the taste and means of each parish. Only St.
Paul's was planned on grand scale. Wren prepared several designs, including
a Greek cross plan preserved in a wooden model still kept in the cathedral.
His final plan used a Latin cross design surmounted by a monumental dome,
modeled after the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and second to it in
size.
Wren worked on St. Paul's from about 1670 until 1710. Like
Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's is a national pantheon where many of
England's famous men are entombed, including Wren himself.

SOFTWARE COMPANIES VIE TO PROVIDE SAUDIS WITH INTERNET FILTERS
When the Internet was introduced in Saudi Arabia in 1999, the Saudi royal
family decreed that all public traffic into and out of the country would
have to be funneled through a single control outside Riyadh. The contract
for providing the filtering software to make that level of control possible
will expire in 2003, and companies from the U.S., U.K., Germany and the
Netherlands are engaged in spirited competition for the multimillion
assignment. Yale law professor Jack Balkin says, "We have a really serious
problem in terms of the American free speech idea. But it is very American
to make money. Between anticensorship and the desire to make money, the
desire to make money will win out." The sites blocked by the Saudis are
pornographic or offer other challenges to Islamic political or cultural
sensitivities. (New York Times 19 Nov 2001)

MONITORING THE MESSAGE BOARDS
With the U.S. at war with terrorism, various Web services are choosing to
decline submissions from people saying the country "deserved" to be attacked
or making other comments along those lines. Stephen Killeen of Terra Lycos
U.S. says that, in the past, "we would err on the side of `If it's
distasteful, let it stay.' Now, we err on the side of `If you want to post
this kind of information, you don't have to do it here.' The sentiment in
the United States changed on Sept. 11 about what's acceptable and what's not
in terms of what you can say." Of course, people are free to set up Web
sites of their own and post whatever they want, just as private companies
are free to accept or reject anything they want. UCLA law professor Stuart
Biegel says, "In times of war, there has been a willingness among Americans
to give up some rights -- to honor curfews, martial law, and even
restrictions on speech. The filtering of Internet message boards is part of
all this." (San Jose Mercury News 18 Nov 2001)

WORTH THINKING ABOUT: SIMULATED EMOTIONS
In the new book "The Invisible Future: The Seamless of Integration of
Technology Into Everyday Life" (ed. by Peter J. Denning), psychologist and
leadership trainer Richard Strozzi Heckler warns that "cyberspace teaches
us to be passive observers, not skilled participants in life." He writes:
"I am no Luddite and do not endorse returning our technological
advances to the shelves. But I do believe that if we do not pay attention to
how we are being led by technology, and are not leading it, we will, in the
words of anthropologist Angeles Arrien, 'Normalize the abnormal and
abnormalize the normal.' We have come to a historical moment in which it is
necessary to reexamine what we mean by education and quality of life.
Sitting for hours in front of a computer screen alienates us from our deep
biological urge to interact with the living: humans, animals, the landscape,
weather, the seas. We are designed to interact with life; to cooperate,
share, and reciprocate with others, to seek trust, adventure, and love is
the human experience. To blithely dismiss this finely tuned legacy of
wisdom, which is to dismiss life itself, by the allure of a virtual reality,
does not come without its consequences. Perhaps we can simulate intelligence
through computerized machines, but there is a terrible cost to humanity if
we attempt to simulate emotions and thus antiseptically cleanse ourselves of
the human qualities of love, passion, and self-reflection."

The Project Gutenberg Mailing Lists
Project Gutenberg has five mailing lists. Here is information about
how to subscribe, unsubscribe, get your list configuration settings,
and retrieve back issues.
These are the Project Gutenberg mailing lists. People interested in
receiving regulary newsletters and other announcements about the
Project Gutenberg etexts should subscribe to gweekly or gmonthly:
"gweekly" = Weekly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gmonthly" = Monthly General Public Announcements, including the newsletter
"gutvol-l" = General Private Announcements for active volunteers
"gutvol-d" = Discussion among active volunteers
"hhelpers" = Heroic Helpers: Work tasks for active volunteers (approval needed)
The "hhelpers" list requires an invitation or approval to subscribe,
the others are open for anyone to subscribe.
In May 2001, Michael Hart requested to divide the old "gutnberg" list
into two new lists:
gmonthly (for monthly newsletters)
gweekly (for weekly newsletters)
Instead of "gutnberg", which has been inactivated, please subscribe to
one of these two lists. Both receive the Project Gutenberg newsletter
on a monthly basis, but "gweekly" also receives weekly updates, which
help people to hear sooner about the latest books that were published
by Project Gutenberg. Each list receives periodic announcements about
Project Gutenberg, as well. Traffic is quite light on both.
To subscribe:
To SUBSCRIBE to any of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists, send an
email message to "lyris@listserv.unc.edu"
The subject line of the message will be ignored. The body of the
message should contain text such as:
subscribe gmonthly Your True Name
Where "gmonthly" is the list to subscribe to, and "Your True Name" is
replaced by your actual name. So if your name were Dudley P. Duck,
your message might contain:
subscribe gmonthly Dudley P. Duck
You do not need to include your email address, because Lyris gets it
from the header of your email message.
Beware that the address must be "lyris@listserv.unc.edu" You can't
address your message to an address such as "listserv" or
"listprocessor" or "majordom". However, for backward compatibility,
"listproc@lyris.unc.edu" still works, as does "lyris@lyris.unc.edu".
To Unsubscribe:
If you are trying to unsubscribe, please be aware that MANY different
mailing lists relay the Newsletters from Project Gutenberg and Ask
Dr. Internet, and that it is possible you do not receive our
newsletters directly from us. In any case of that nature, you would
have to deal with that mailing list directly. If you look through the
email header information, you should be able to tell how you got it.
But if you are on OUR lists, unsubscribing is easy. Send email to
"lyris@listserv.unc.edu" with the text:
unsubscribe gmonthly
where "gmonthly" is replaced by the list you want to unsubscribe from.
In addition, personalized unsubscribe information is appended to every
message you get from all of the Project Gutenberg mailing lists.
***
Archives and personal settings:
The Lyris Web interface has an easy way to browse past mailing list
contents, and change some personal settings. Visit
http://lyris.unc.edu and select one of the Project Gutenberg lists.
***
Trouble?
If you are having trouble subscribing, unsubscribing or with anything
else related to the mailing lists, please email
"owner-gutenberg@listserv.unc.edu" to contact the lists' (human)
administrator.
If you would just like a little more information about Lyris
features, you can find their help information at http://lyris.unc.edu/help

NEWSSCAN NEWS SCANS (FROM NOV.9 AND NOV.13 NEWSSCAN DAILIES):
E-BOOK PROGRAM GOES UP IN SMOKE
When book publishing company Random House established its AtRandom e-book
division a year ago a Random House executive said: "This is the brave new
world we want to see. No printing, no paper and binding, no need for a
sales conference or printed catalog -- we don't know the size of the
market, but it could be potentially very profitable for us." A year later,
the company has determined the size of the market -- and is closing down
the AtRandom imprint. A spokesman for the company awarded the project a
grade of A-for-effort, saying: "I think we did a great job putting together
a program that would have made good e-books available had been people been
buying e-books in any real numbers." (New York Times 9 Nov 2001)

NUMBER OF INTERNET USERS UP 15% IN OCTOBER
The number of Internet users grew 15% last month over October 2000 totals,
with a record 115.2 million people going online, according to new figures
from Nielsen/NetRatings. Although the year-over-year growth rate is
significantly below the 35% posted in October 2000, the increase is still
significant, given the current economic climate and the stagnant market for
PCs. The average Internet user spent 19 hours and 2 minutes online in
October, compared with 17 hours and 5 months the month before and 17 hours
and 30 minutes a year earlier. (Wall Street Journal 13 Nov 2001)

GATES REFLECTS ON FUTURE HOPES AND PAST SINS
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates says his two top priorities now are improving
the reliability of his company's software and conquering the market for
"tablet" computers, the laptop-size computers that can be used like a
clipboard. The tablets can be written on with a special stylus, and the
writing is then treated by Microsoft software as though the words had been
typed. Gates says tablet PCs will overtake laptops by 2005. As for software
reliability, Gates is repentant: "We're doing a little bit of mea culpa on
this. These are areas where Microsoft needs to improve. It affects the way
we develop code." (USA Today 12 Nov 2001)

FLASH CARD
"An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even
how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know
and what you don't." (Anatole France)
IBM'S NEW SUPERCOMPUTER UPS THE ANTE
IBM is developing a next-generation commercial supercomputer that it says
will run 15 times faster than today's most powerful machines, while
consuming only one-fiftieth of the energy. The new machine is based on
IBM's $100-million Blue Gene model, currently under construction, which is
designed to handle large-scale biomolecular calculations. The
next-generation Blue Gene/L will be built in partnership with the Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory, and though it will be slightly slower than
the original Blue Gene design, it will still be able to out-compute the 500
top supercomputers in the world combined, according to the company. Its
speed stems from a design that uses 65,000 data-chip cells optimized for
data access. Each chip includes two processors, one for computing and one
for communicating, plus its own on-board memory. The Blue Gene/L, which IBM
sees as the prototype of a new generation that is more geared toward
commercial rather than scientific applications, will be used to simulate
physical phenomena, such as fires and explosions. (Financial Times 9 Nov

EUROPEAN COUNCIL ADOPTS FIRST CYBERCRIME TREATY
The 43-nation Council of Europe has adopted a convention on cybercrime that
criminalizes activities such as fraud and child pornography committed over
the Web and sets up global law enforcement procedures for conducting
computer searches, intercepting e-mail messages, and extraditing criminal
suspects. The convention marks the first treaty on criminal offenses
committed via the Internet. It will enter into force once five states,
including at least three Council of Europe member nations, have ratified
it. States will have that opportunity at a conference on cybercrime to be
held in Budapest on November 23. (Reuters 8 Nov 2001)

CYBERSECURITY CHIEF NOT INTERESTED IN NATIONAL ID CARD
Bush Administration cybersecurity chief Richard Clarke is showing little
interest in a proposal from Oracle's Larry Ellison to create a national
identity card as part of the nation's response to the dangers posed by
terrorists. Clarke says that no one he's talked to in the administration
thinks it's a good idea, and civil liberties groups have uniformly opposed
the plan. (ZDNET/USA Today 9 Nov 2001)

HONORARY SUBSCRIBER: LOUIS PASTEUR
Today's Honorary Subscriber is the 19th century French chemist Louis
Pasteur (1822-1895), who founded the modern science of microbiology and
made medical history with his "germ theory" of infectious diseases. His
name is honored today by our use of the term "pasteurization" for the
heating process he developed to destroy harmful microbes in perishable food
products without damage to the food.
What may not be as well known are his discovery of the bacillus
responsible for anthrax and his preparation of an effective immunizing
agent. Another of his groundbreaking contributions to microbiology and
medicine was the discovery that weakened forms of a microbe could be used
as an immunization against more virulent forms of the microbe. In his
search for a vaccine against rabies, he came upon the world of viruses,
microorganisms so small that they could not be seen under a microscope.
Pasteur was born the son of a relatively poor tanner at Dole, in the
Jura mountain region of France. He was an indifferent student, interested
mainly in the fine arts, until he was inspired by the lectures of his
chemistry instructors to pursue a career in that field. As a young
chemistry instructor, Pasteur achieved early fame for experimental work in
crystal formation that he acknowledged was due less to his arduous efforts
than to a sheer chance factor in the choice of the material used. This gave
rise to his famous aphorism: "Chance favors the prepared mind."
He followed his early success with investigations of problems wine
makers were having with fermentation, and later the silkworm disease
plaguing the silk industry. Out of these investigations came his
revolutionary findings of the bacterial nature of infectious diseases, and
their control through vaccination, hygiene and sterilization. These and his
many other accomplishments were achieved despite a partially paralyzing
stroke at the age of 46.
In 1888, Pasteur became the first director of the Pasteur Institute,
a medical treatment and experimental facility established and named in his
honor. It is now one of the most famous centers of biological research in
the world. When Pasteur died in 1895, he was rightly considered the
greatest "physician" of all time, notwithstanding his lack of a medical
degree.

ANOTHER BATCH OF NEWSSCAN ARTICLES:
SOME STATES BALK AT MICROSOFT DEAL
Led by California, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, at least half a dozen of
the 18 states involved in the Microsoft antitrust lawsuit plan to tell U.S.
District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly that they cannot support the
settlement agreement brokered with the U.S. Justice Department last week.
As written, "the agreement is full of loopholes and does little more than
license Microsoft to crush its competition," said Massachusetts Attorney
General Thomas Reilly. "This was thrust on the states at the last minute,
under enormous pressure, without enough time to review the details." If
even a few states reject the settlement, they could force the case back
into court to determine a remedy. Unless Microsoft agrees to further
concessions, California, Wisconsin, Iowa, Connecticut, Kansas, Maryland,
Florida, Massachusetts, West Virginia and the District of Columbia are
favoring opposition, according to states' lawyers. Illinois, Ohio, North
Carolina, New York and Utah are seen as likely to join the settlement, with
the remaining states' positions unknown. (Wall Street Journal 6 Nov 2001)

NAPSTER ALTERNATIVE USE UP 20%
The use of Napster-like peer-to-peer music file-sharing sites like Kazaa,
MusicCity and Grokster rose 20% during the month of October, signaling U.S.
Internet users' insatiable demand for digital music and video downloads.
All three sites use software licensed from FastTrack, an Amsterdam-based
technology company, and share the same network. "The growth of the
FastTrack network continues to be astounding," says a Webnoize analyst.
"During the last four months the number of users typically logged on has
risen by 480%, and in November will likely surpass the 1.57 million
simultaneous users that Napster... enjoyed at its peak... As higher
awareness translates into higher usage, the FastTrack network may
ultimately become many times larger than Napster ever was." Meanwhile, a
recent Jupiter Media Metrix survey shows that song-swapping has declined in
Europe over the same period. According to the report, music downloads are
down by 50% in Europe since February, the point at which Napster usage hit
its zenith. (Reuters 5 Nov 2001)

HONORARY SUBSCRIBER: FRIEDRICH SCHILLER
Today's Honorary Subscriber is the German dramatist and poet
Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805), whose plays, along with those of Goethe,
established a theatrical renaissance in Germany known as "Weimar
Classicism."
Schiller's father was in the employ of Duke Karl Eugen of
Wirttemberg, and at age 13 Schiller entered the Duke's military academy,
where the Duke insisted he study law. He later switched to medicine, and
when he was 21 he was appointed to the Duke's Stuttgart regiment as a
military surgeon. Repelled by the tyranny of the Duke and his schooling,
Schiller was attracted by the revolutionary spirit of the time, he
expressed his troubled feelings in a play, "The Robbers," which had a
successful run in Mannheim, but so angered the Duke that he was placed
under military arrest and ordered to cease writing plays.
Schiller fled the Duchy, relocating in Mannheim where he began work
in earnest as a dramatist. Later he moved to Leipzig and then Weimar,
eventually settling in Jena. During this period he continued to write
successful plays and expanded his literary output to include poetry and
historical writing. His poem, "Ode to Joy" was later used by Beethoven in
the composer's "Ninth Symphony," and his "History of the Revolt of the
United Netherlands " led to his appointment as Professor of History at the
University of Jena. Other writings for which Schiller is noted are the
treatises he wrote on aesthetics, foremost among them being "On the
Aesthetic Education of Man."
In 1790, he met and married Charlotte Von Lengefeld, with whom he had
two sons and two daughters. In 1794 a chance meeting with Goethe led to a
lifelong friendship and literary collaboration. Under Goethe's influence,
Schiller resumed his playwriting, which he had neglected for some years in
favor of his other writings. He now undertook to compose his most mature
dramas including "Mary Stuart" (1800), "The Maid of Orleans" (1801), and
"William Tell" (1804.)
In 1799 Schiller re-settled in Weimar, partly to be near Goethe who
was director of the regional theater located there. Together they made the
Weimar Theatre one of the most prestigious theatrical houses in Europe.
Schiller was only forty-six years old when he died of the
tuberculosis that had plagued him for many years.
MAILBAG: THE WORLD AS WE FIND IT
FREE SPEECH 1, TRADE SECRETS 0
http://www.newsscan.com/cgi-bin/findit_view?table=newsletter&id=4863
In response to the statement from the DVD industry rep that "Beyond our
case, if this decision becomes the law of the United States, all trade
secrets are unconstitutional," I can only respond "Well, duh!" The court
argued that the legal threshold for prior restraint of free speech is very
high, and businesses are crazy if they think their economic interests trump
the Constitution. I am very pleased to see some common sense come from the
courts on this issue, and hope the trend continues. (Conn McQuinn)
NUMERATION
http://www.newsscan.com/cgi-bin/findit_view?table=honorary_subscriber&id=468
In Arabic script, numerals don't obviously resemble ours. For example, "5"
resembles an inverted card-deck heart. But they are indeed the source of
our numerals today. Western scribes wrote the original Arabic numerals in
vertical columns, as on a scroll. When western script evolved from vertical
alignment to horizontal alignment, scribes correspondingly rotated the
Arabic numbers 90 degrees. For example, in written Arabic the numeral for
"7" resembles a Latin "V". Rotate "V" 90 degrees counterclockwise, so that
the cusp is at the right. The resemblance to "7" becomes obvious. The other
Arabic numerals evolved similarly. In several cases, the orientation became
reversed, such as for 3. A source about the evolution of the original
Arabic numerals to western script is
www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/history/HistTopics/Arabic_numerals.html.

COOKIE CUTTING
http://www.newsscan.com/cgi-bin/findit_view?table=newsletter&id=4833
The AOL client on the users desktop communicates with the AOL servers using
a proprietary protocol and is therefore capable of recording, silently and
invisibly to the user, whatever the user is doing. This however has nothing
to do with cookies or what can be done with cookies. An apt analogy for an
unwary surfer might be the stickers that some travelers accumulate on their
luggage but with the following differences: Cookies can last forever;
cookies can be a multitude potentially recording every click, and thus
every action by the surfer over an indefinite time and (cyber) space;
cookies and particularly their import are not easily visible to the person
carrying them; cookies and their import is easily visible to those who
plant them and who can relate them to other information. Those who are
concerned with their privacy are concerned with the capabilities of those
that would collect data, not their expressed intent. (John A. Martin)
