.:: HOW TO GET EBOOKS FROM PROJECT GUTENBERG ::.
The easiest way to obtain our eBooks is at our search page at
http://gutenberg.net/find.shtml
which allows searching by title, author or eBook number; there is also
an Advanced Search page which allows for additional search criteria
(note that our newer postings may not yet be indexed for all additional
criteria). And please note: you can now obtain a listing by language
at the above link.
Mirrors (copies) of the complete collection are available around the
world, and you can select one nearer to your location from the link on
the search results page. To see a listing of mirror sites, and locate
the one nearest to you, visit:
http://gutenberg.net/list.shtml
If you prefer to download eBooks via other methods than from the search
page, and need additional information, please refer to the file
GUTINDEX.ALL, available for viewing or downloading at:
http://www.gutenberg.net/GUTINDEX.ALL
That file contains descriptions and explanations about the filenaming
process, directory structure, file formats, and more.
And to directly access the file directories:
http://gutenberg.net/dirs/
Please note that the Project Gutenberg Production Team continues the
process of manually re-posting those eBooks originally posted prior to
Nov 2003 to the new filenaming and directory system (based on the eBook
number). This process includes some file maintenance (repairing,
correcting and re-formatting to current PG standards where practicable).
These re-postings are noted in the "corrections" listings below. More
information can be found in the file GUTINDEX.ALL mentioned above.

Joe Loewenstein sends along the following additional information about
#13760, John Rutherford, the White Chief, by George Lillie Craik:
This account was first published anonymously in 1830 and authorship was
popularly attributed to Lord Brougham. By the end of the 19th century it
was known that George Lillie Craik was the author. This version of the
story was edited by James Drummond and published in New Zealand about
1908.

THE 5,000th TITLE COLECTION - OCTOBER 2004
by Thierry Alberto
"I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library."
--Jorge Luis Borges
On the morning of October 8, 2004, near his library window overlooking a
quiet lake in upstate New York, David Widger ran a series of final checks
and verifications on a partitioned element of the 11th edition of the
Encyclopedia Britannica. Yes, that same EB11 which has long been known as
a formidable processing challenge throughout the Project Gutenberg
community. This latest approach towards its digital conversion did little
to diminish that reputation. It was about to do something of great
importance, however. Dr. Widger had been anticipating the project files
for some 48 hours by the time they were at last wrestled into acceptable
compliance.
For everyone aware of what was on the Whitewashing agenda that morning, an
intermingled sense of relief and excitement began to spread. This "slice"
of EB11 was not simply another single project being posted to the PG
shelves, but the final component in a varied and impressive collection
which had been in preparation for several months. When the final checks
were cleared, the Britannica text joined 50 other finished works as a
single commemorative event organized to mark the completion of Distributed
Proofreaders' 5,000th unique title produced for Project Gutenberg and the
digital public domain.
This event is the largest single contribution to Project Gutenberg in the
four year history of Distributed Proofreaders. Through the orchestrated
collective efforts of its members throughout the world, DP produced 50
diverse and significant written works to accompany the 5,000th title on its
journey to the PG library. A total of over 13,000 original pages from a
distinctive variety of books in several languages were carefully chosen to
display the merits and strengths of the DP production model. A sister
objective for this collection was to produce a newsworthy example of the
fertility of public domain content yet to be converted into digital
formats.
In our own "Field of Dreams," we have learned collectively, that if we
build it ... they will definitely come. What we do not know yet, is how
strongly "they" and others to come will defend what we are building, should
the public domain be challenged further. At the heart of the inspiration
for this Collection is a belief that we can help insure that present and
future volunteers will care enough to stand up should they be called to.
If we make a dramatic and valid statement now and then, proving what a
fertile field this really is, we may indeed embolden many to care and
nurture these legacy resources.
"All that Mankind has done, thought, gained or been--it is lying as in
magic preservation in the pages of Books."
--Thomas Carlyle
These 51 projects have much in common that binds them together as a family
with a focused intention. In one manner or other, all of these titles
belong to a larger set of projects, some of them so vast that it will
require several years to complete them. The titles within the collection
were selected from amongst its most challenging and complex projects in
order to demonstrate the varied strengths of the Distributed Proofreaders
production model.
There are four classes of super or "uber" projects which make up the 5,000
Collection. These are:
1) 'Classic Ubers' - Truly massive works such as EB11 or the Bureau of
American Ethnology reports, spanning over thirty years.
2) 'Large Book Sets' - Smaller in scale than the Classic Ubers, yet still
daunting enough to discourage commencement by an individual. Among this
class are Hakluyt's 'Principal Voyages of the English Nation', 'The
Psychology of Sex' by Havelock Ellis and 'The Library of the World's Best
Literature.'
3) 'Author Collections' - Organized programs to provide entire libraries of
an author's work for Project Gutenberg, or to complete catalogs of authors
partially represented. The intention with these sets is to systematically
advance PG towards comprehensive coverage of commonly requested authors
with works in the public domain. Featured authors include: Hendrik
Conscience, Alexandre Dumas, Victor Hugo, Edward Lear and George Sand.
4) 'Periodicals' - As a whole, the processing of entire runs of many
volumes of journal titles is perhaps the largest initiative DP has ever
undertaken. Among the many periodicals represented within the 5K
Collection are: 'The Atlantic Monthly', 'Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine',
'Notes and Queries', 'Punch', and 'Scientific American.'
The accomplishment represented by the 5,000 milestone is a source of great
pride to the membership of DP. Fueling the labor of our intentions for
the 5K Collection was a desire to produce for the world a gift of immense
value that would dramatically exemplify the best of which Distributed
Proofreaders is now capable. Read through the manifest at the end of this
newsletter and see if that wealth of titles does not stir up a sense of
profound excitement about the work we are all engaged in here. There is a
fine hope which we are capable of encouraging together with our dedication.
Intending towards a greater good for the world with our industrious
energies, we become a living example of what is possible when like-minded
people join together in creative endeavor. It is a rare example, true ...
but it is powerful ... and so greatly needed within this time of deep and
uncertain change. Faith in a brighter future is an essential source of
courage and stability. Preserving history and cultural legacies of the
past sustains that faith by providing recognition of the continuity of the
human story across time and change. This is not the day to day reason for
why we preserve public domain works, yet it is a subtle, derivative effect
of what we do.
"For books are more than books, they are the life, the very heart and core
of ages past, the reason why men lived and worked and died, the essence and
quintessence of their lives."
--Amy Lowell
5,000 unique written works. As accustomed as many of us have become to the
steady accomplishments of the Project Gutenberg community, being book
lovers, we are still capable of being awed by our milestones. 5,000
published works is a vast library by the measure of any human lifetime.
To secure such an archive in print form would cost a fortune, the likes of
which few of us will ever amass. Yet here they all are! ... available to
anyone in the world with access to the Internet; and now to some even
without such access. We are not talking about just any books we can lay
our hands on. Amongst these 5,000 titles are a large number of creative
works that are treasured among the great legacies of world culture. In
organizing the choices for this collection, it was decided from the
beginning to emphasize the value of content within the public domain which
has yet to be converted into digital formats. This has been successfully
achieved through the inclusion of exemplary representatives of such written
treasures.
Having been closely involved with the previous milestone celebrations, I
can avow that these rituals mean much more to the members of DP than
crowing over past accomplishments. What we each derive from these
celebrations has more to do with inspiration than anything else. When we
pause in our daily efforts at DP to commemorate the rounded figures of
Golden projects, posted to PG, what we experience is a refreshed
recognition of why it was that we came to devote our time and energy to
this cause in the first place. These are times when we reflect on how far
we have each come, the projects we have been involved with and what we have
learned. At these times we remember (or blissfully forget) the various
challenges we have passed through along the way and we share all these
recollections and reflections with people who have grown to become our
friends, even though continents may lay between us. There is always a
renewed sense of energy and commitment after each celebration, and this
time the inspiration is more deeply felt than ever before. The reasons for
this are as varied as the individuals who make up the DP membership. In
this past week, I have received a wondrous outpouring of distinctive
expressions from people involved in all fields of project production. One
common feeling that I have been noticing is joy. It is a joy that comes
from participating in something greater than oneself, which is at the same
time intimately familiar and personally valued. This is a deeply felt and
powerful emotion experienced by many involved in this field of work. Yet,
all we are doing here is crafting some old, dusty tomes into e-texts.
Right?
"Read, read, read."
--William Faulkner
It is just four years now since Charles Franks put forth an innovative idea
for how to enhance the development process of public domain texts for
Project Gutenberg. It is not at all uncommon for someone to pull down a
good or even brilliant idea from wherever it is that spirit of invention
springs. What is very uncommon is for someone to take a great idea and
follow through upon it across the forge of trial and error unto eventual
success. Project Gutenberg is an impressive example of what can happen in
this world when one individual does pass through the crucible of creative
innovation to see an idea crafted into manifest utility. Sometimes the
hardest challenge while bringing a new idea into existence is rallying
enough supporters to your cause. An idea in and of itself will not do the
work for you. Action must be taken and the validity of the idea must be
proven, if others are to ally themselves with the values and intentions
underlying the idea. The positive effects of Michael Hart's contribution
to our age will continue on well into the lives of generations to come. We
may not be able to measure the full extent of Project Gutenberg's benefit,
but we none the less know it is extensive, world spanning and long lasting.
What Charles and the early circle of DP members proved, was that
inspirational lightning could definitely strike the same ground twice.
It took a while and a lot of puzzle work to figure out how best to
implement those early concepts of distribution, but in time they were well
worked out. As with most productive endeavors, we can measure the success
of DP by the quality and growth of its expressive output. Both of these
measures have been improving at a steadily impressive rate over the past
three years, from about the time the foundational process of DP was settled
upon. For quality, I offer that you merely spend some time with any number
of the texts within this collection. Let the work convey its own merit to
you, in ways I could never hope to match. For the quantity measure, we
can look to the primary indicator of growth at DP ... the number of pages
being proofed each day.
By the middle of 2001, with the basic production models in use, the daily
average of pages proofed was 259. One year later that figure had nearly
quadrupled to an average of 1001 pages per day. Step forward two more
years, to the present, and DP is averaging in the neighborhood of 6,000
pages proofed on a daily basis. Of course this measure alone does not come
near to conveying the advances of all the production processes involved in
the creation of finished texts at DP. It is merely a single snapshot
...yet one that captures a clear sense of how successful the distributed
model has proved to be.
Another new and dramatic measure which became evident in 2004, is the
broadening interest in adapting the DP model to other archival projects.
The most advanced of these at present is Distributed Proofreaders Europe,
initiated and maintained by the Rastko family of archives and cultural
initiatives based in Belgrade. The European DP will provide support for
Project Gutenberg Europe which is soon to begin its official testing phase.
PG Europe will expand what is available online in the public domain
according to European copyright terms.
What the future holds for DP seems bright with promise in many directions,
and it is to the future, more than anywhere else, that we are turning our
attention this month.
"The oldest books are still only just out to those who have not read them."
--Samuel Butler
The significance of the public domain edition of Encyclopedia Britannica
and the broad based interest in its development, led to its selection as a
milestone project for DP. While EB's 11th edition easily meets the
classification as one of the most complex of DP's multi-volume projects,
its selection was also influenced by future possibilities. By giving the
Britannica project spotlighted prominence as the 5,000th title during
ongoing promotions, we will also be drawing attention to the need for new
waves of volunteers to assist in its eventual completion. This is true for
most of the projects within the 5K Collection. Some of the book sets and
periodical titles are nearing completion, a few are even completed. These
will serve as inspiration ... impressive examples of the significant work
which people can participate in. For the most part however, the complex
projects represented in the collection have a long way to go before they
are entirely available from the PG shelves. The ongoing promotional work
beginning this month with the 5,000th title, shall carry forward through
the end of the year, reaching out to new generations of volunteers, who
will see these vast works through to the final page.
It is for these future generations of volunteers that the second exhibition
of the 5,000 Collection was conceived. Yes ... a second exhibition. After
providing everyone, including myself some time to recuperate from the
preparations of the First Collection, the Second Collection is now in
production. The aim of this follow through pageant is to sustain the
messages of the 5,000 Collection while providing a dynamic demonstration of
DP's production capabilities. The presentation of this broad selection of
complex projects was an organized event, yet it was not an extraordinary
exercise spent for the sake of promotional theatrics. Processing large
scale, complex projects is part of DP's daily stock & trade. Because the
labor is broadly distributed, we often lose sight of the scale of what is
being accomplished over time. The purpose of extending the presentation of
the 5K Collection is to provide a stage upon which the present strengths of
the DP model can be substantiated.
The Second Collection is timed to coincide with the end of the month. The
actual date of posting will depend upon the reluctance of those few
projects who may shy away from their initial public premiere. Among the
featured titles will be several additional volumes or periodical issues
appearing in the First Collection as well as some projects more complex, in
their own way, then any among the initial 50. If the Fates are kind, we
expect to deliver another portion of EB11. With what we have been learning
from these first two partitions, we do expect to soon witness a steady
stream of 11th Edition "slices" making their way to PG. Once each volume
has been completed, a single file matching the original print edition will
be compiled.
An original content feature is being crafted as a supportive initiative to
the 5,000 events. Background information about each project is being
gathered and prepared to form a permanent resource for public access.
These articles will explore the history of each work and its author,
augmented by a chronicle of the project's development at DP. In time,
other features will join the project backgrounds to form an evolving news
and information center at DP. Among other content being developed for the
center are articles documenting the history and lore of DP's evolution, a
variety of community resources, support for new visitors and timely
coverage of current events. Watch for announcements on the main page at DP
regarding the progress of the news and information center.
"Books--the children of the brain."
--Jonathan Swift
It is a little over a week now since the First Collection posted to PG. In
that time, over 100 titles have followed after those 51 and turned to Gold.
As we turn our attention to the labors of the Second Collection and move on
towards the future, we carry with us a happy certainty: wherever that
future takes us, there will be plenty to read when we get there.
With an initiative of this scale it is difficult in the space allowed to
fairly credit each person who participated. Once the second collection is
complete we will compose a roll of all those involved and post it in a very
public place at DP. At present, I want to express a deep sense of
gratitude to three volunteers on the PG side who deserve noted recognition.
Well in advance of posting the first collection David Widger, Jim Tinsley
and Joseph Lowenstein began working in close coordination with us.
Performing like great chefs over a two week period, the Whitewashing team
orchestrated all 51 projects into organized assembly. Presenting these
works as a cohesive collection would not have been possible without their
advice and dedication.
To everyone who made the 5,000 Milestone a reality ... one page at a time
... Congratulations! I look forward to reporting on all the future
milestones yet to be realized as we continue the labor begun by Michael
Hart of building the world's grandest library.
For now.
Thierry
"Books, books, books had found the secret of a garret-room piled high with
cases in my father's name; Piled high, packed large,--where, creeping in
and out among the giant fossils of my past, like some small nimble mouse
between the ribs of a mastodon, I nibbled here and there at this or that
box, pulling through the gap, in heats of terror, haste, victorious joy,
the first book first. And how I felt it beat under my pillow, in the
morning's dark. An hour before the sun would let me read! My books!"
--Elizabeth Barrett Browning

The easiest way to obtain our eBooks is at our search page at
http://gutenberg.net/find.shtml
which allows searching by title, author or eBook number; there is also
an Advanced Search page which allows for additional search criteria
(note that our newer postings may not yet be indexed for all additional
criteria). And please note: you can now obtain a listing by language
at the above link.
Mirrors (copies) of the complete collection are available around the
world, and you can select one nearer to your location from the link on
the search results page. To see a listing of mirror sites, and locate
the one nearest to you, visit:

If you prefer to download eBooks via other methods than from the search
page, and need additional information, please refer to the file
GUTINDEX.ALL, available for viewing or downloading at:
http://www.gutenberg.net/GUTINDEX.ALL
That file contains descriptions and explanations about the filenaming

Please note that the Project Gutenberg Production Team continues the
process of manually re-posting those eBooks originally posted prior to
Nov 2003 to the new filenaming and directory system (based on the eBook
number). This process includes some file maintenance (repairing,
correcting and re-formatting to current PG standards where practicable).
These re-postings are noted in the "corrections" listings below. More

David Price, reporting from England, about #13672, The Unknown Eros, by
Coventry Patmore:
This eText was produced by UK volunteer Les Bowler. For those wishing to
know: it's poetry and Coventry Patmore was a man. Les reports that he found
the poems hard to follow. We've done a few other poetry books by Patmore,
although most of the litrary criticism seems to say that this one is his
masterpiece.
~ ~ ~
David signed his message: "England, windy and cold". Does anyone else find
this a bit redundant? <vbg>

A dream is just a dream. A goal is a dream with a plan and a deadline.

More about Terabyte machines:
Martin Ward tells me he has already bought one of the new
250G USB drives for under $250, and has established that
you can now upgrade to a terabyte without even cracking
the case, simply by adding 4 of these drives, once you
have 4 extra USB connections, of course.
We tested the drive and got 17M/sec throughput, though
that might be a little fast, as the last part probably
stayed in the cache buffer at the time. The specs said
more like 15M/sec, which makes it the first test we did
that ever exceeded specs!
It would seem these drives work about as fast as an IDE.

There is a new experimental online reader available. Start from any
bibliographic record page, eg.
http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/4300
Basically this paginates the txt file and remembers your last position
in a cookie so you can later resume reading where you left off.
Please test it. It should work with any book that has a text file
where the encoding is known.

We are seeking as much information as possible on the various
approaches to Machine Translation. Any brand names or contact
information would be greatly appreciated.

So far we have sent out 7.5 million eBooks via snailmail!!!
We currently have access to a dozen DVD burners. If you have a DVD burner
and are interested in lending a hand, please email Aaron Cannon

DISTRIBUTED PROOFREADERS NEEDS CONTENT, PROOFERS AND SCANNER TYPES
Please contact us at:
dphelp@pgdp.net
if you would like to know more about the Distributed Proofreaders.
Thanks to very good recent publicity, the Distributed Proofreading
project has greatly accelerated its pace. Please visit the site:
http://www.pgdp.net
for more information about how you can help a lot, by
simply proofreading just a few pages per day, or more.
If you have a book that has been scanned, but not yet run
through OCR (optical character recognition) or proofed,
and you would like the Distributed Proofreaders to work on it,
please email dphelp@pgdp.net and we will get things started.
Also, DP is seeking public domain books not already in the
Project Gutenberg collection. To see what is already online,
visit http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/GUTINDEX.ALL (a text file)
listing Project Gutenberg eBooks and is available for downloading.
Do you have Public Domain books you would like to see in the archive?
Can they be destructively scanned? If so send them to the Distributed
Proofreading Team! Please email dphelp@pgdp.net with your geographic
location. You will be given the address of the nearest high-speed scanner
(note that the high-speed scanner requires destruction of the book(s) which
will not be returned). We have high-speed scanners currently located in
the east, west and central portions of the US to make shipping easier.
Please make sure that any books you send are _not_ already in the archive
and please check them against David's "In Progress" list at:
http://www.dprice48.freeserve.co.uk/GutIP.html
to ensure no one is currently working on them. It would also be helpful if
you obtain copyright clearance before mailing the books, and send the 'OK'
lines to
dphelp@pgdp.net
Do you like to work on an entire book at once but don't have the time
or technology to do the scanning, OCR, and initial proofing yourself?
Distributed Proofreaders has the perfect solution! Just send us email
telling us that you are interested in post-processing and we will help
find a project you would like to work on.

Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 40 weeks of this year, we have produced ~3169 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 2000 to produce our FIRST 3169 eBooks!!!
That's 40 WEEKS as Compared to ~30 YEARS!!!
With 14,077 eBooks online as of October 13, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.71 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100 million readers is only ~1.5% of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $1.02 when we had 9806 eBooks a year ago
Can you imagine ~14,077 books each costing ~$.31 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine ~14,077 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 14,077 eBooks in 33 Years and 03.25 Months We Averaged
423 Per Year [We do nearly that much a month these days!]
35.3 Per Month
1.16 Per Day
At 3169 eBooks Done In The 286 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
11.1 Per Day
79.0 Per Week
342.6 Per Month
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks'
production; each production-week starts/ends Wednesday noon,
starts with the first Wednesday of January. January 7th was
the first Wednesday of 2004, and thus ended PG's production
year of 2003 and began the production year of 2004 at noon.
This year there will be 52 Wednesdays, thus no extra week.

HOUSE PUNISHES SPYWARE PERPETRATORS
The U.S. House of Representatives has voted 399-1 to pass the "Spy
Act," which imposes heavy federal fines on those who secretly install
"spyware" programs on people's computers to surreptitiously monitor their
Internet activities. The bill was introduced by Rep. Mary Bono (R-Calif.).

SPYWARE IN FTC'S CROSSHAIRS
The Federal Trade Commission is launching an aggressive new strategy
to prosecute "spyware" perpetrators, and last week filed a civil lawsuit
against former spam-king Sanford Wallace and his companies, Seismic
Entertainment Productions and SmartBot. Wallace, who was once dubbed
"Spamford" for his earlier misdeeds, operates the PassItOn.com Web site,
which requires visitors to click through multiple pop-up windows in order
to exit. In an interview with CNet last year, Wallace defended his practice
of collecting personal information from people who visited his site: "We
don't violate anybody's privacy; everything is disclosed. We're giving
something away for free in exchange for consumers' permission to use
private information. It's no secret. Publishers Clearinghouse has been
doing this type of thing for years." However, an FTC investigator says
Wallace's actions go far beyond information-gathering, by changing the home
page of her Internet Explorer browser and using programming code to pop
open the CD drive in her computer while displaying a message saying, "If
your cd-rom drive opens~E you desperately need to rid your system of spyware
pop-ups immediately." Of course, the site then offers to sell a product
called Spy Deleter. Anti-spyware activist Ari Schwartz says the FTC has
"built a good case. This fits into the kinds of cases where FTC could get
their feet wet on this issue." (CNet News.com 12 Oct 2004)

[Did you know THEY can jam YOUR cell phone?]
FRANCE APPROVES CELL PHONE-JAMMING IN THEATERS
Tired of chatty theater-goers disturbing your entertainment
enjoyment? France Industry Minister Patrick Devedijian has approved a
decision by the country's Telecommunications Regulation Authority to allow
cinemas, concert halls and theaters to install cell phone jammers that
would prevent patrons from making or receiving calls during performances.
Devedijian stipulated that emergency calls and calls made outside theaters
and other performance spaces must not be affected, however. The move comes
in response to "a long-standing request" from cinemas, says Jean Labbe,
president of the National Federation of French Cinemas, noting that movie
theaters had invested heavily to improve comfort and that "the
authorization of jammers is the cherry on the cake." (AP 11 Oct 2004)

U.S. GOVERNMENT FUNDS CHAT ROOM SURVEILLANCE
The U.S. government is funding a year-long study by a Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute computer science professor aimed at developing
mathematical models to identify patterns in the chaotic traffic generated
by online public forums that might reveal "hidden communities" of
terrorists. RPI professor Bulent Yener will download data from selected
chat rooms while tracking the times that messages were sent in order to
create a statistical profile of the traffic. For instance, if QTpie and
RatBoi consistently send messages within seconds of each other in a crowded
chat room, it might be inferred that they are "speaking" to each other,
camouflaged by the "noise" of the chat room environment. "For us, the
challenge is to be able to determine, without reading the messages, who is
talking to whom," says Yener. The $157,673 grant to conduct the study comes
from the National Science Foundation's Approaches to Combat Terrorism
program, which works in concert with U.S. intelligence agencies to make its
selections. However, some scholars doubt the concept has much merit: "In a
world in which you can embed your message in a pixel on a picture on a home
page about tea cozies, I don't know whether if you're any better if you
think chat would be any particular magnet," says Harvard Law School
Internet scholar Jonathan Zittrain. (AP/Washington Post 11 Oct 2004)

REUTERS TRIPLES JOBS AT SITE IN INDIA
UK-based Reuters news service and data company will triple the number
of employees it has in India, with as many as 1,500 employees (mainly in
technical and data-entry jobs) in Bangalore by 2006. That figure represents
about 10% of the total Reuter's workforce. Reuter's chief executive Tom
Glocer says: "The amazing thing -- and this is the dirty little secret about
outsourcing that people need to talk about publicly a bit more -- not only
is the cost conflation amazing at four, five or even six to one, but the
quality and productivity is better too. We are flooded. We have 100
qualified applications for every data input person and these people have
qualified accounting degrees." (New York Times 8 Oct 2004)

ADVANCED CHIPS FROM CHINA
[China: Not Just For The Chinese Any More]
Chinese computer chip maker Semiconductor Manufacturing International
Corp. (SMIC) will be supplying 90-nanometer chips to Texas Instruments and
other major clients as part of Beijing's plan to reduce the country's once
total dependence on imported chips for its own electronics industry. Texas
Instruments has been using SMIC for late-stage processing of 130-nanometer
chips since 2002, and SMIC's adoption of the 90-nanometer technology will
bring it to the level of the highest industry standard. But SMIC has assured
governments in Europe, the United States and Japan that it will never use
its equipment to produce defense-related products. (AP/San Jose Mercury News

EBAY BOSS HEADS 'SHE POWER' LIST
[The Times They Are A'Changin'"]
Meg Whitman of eBay has been named the most powerful woman in
corporate America by Fortune magazine, toppling Carly Fiorina of
Hewlett-Packard, who had headed the list since it began in 1998. Fortune
ranks the women on criteria including the size and importance of a business
in its market, the businesswoman's clout at her organization, her career
trajectory and social or cultural impact. In Ms Whitman's case, there was
one over-riding factor, the magazine said: "2004 belongs to Meg Whitman.
Here's just one reason: The $60-billion market value of eBay, the company
she runs, has surged past that of HP." The online marketplace is one of the
fastest growing companies in history. This year it expects to report
operating profits of about $1 billion on revenue of $3.2 billion. (The Age,

HOUSE SUPPORTS ANTISPYWARE LEGISLATION
The U.S. House of Representatives this week voted overwhelmingly to
pass the Spy Act, which prohibits a range of actions including
surreptitiously installing software, tracking users' keystrokes, and
hijacking home pages. Those found guilty under the Spy Act are subject
to civil penalties of up to $3 million. The House is expected to pass
similar legislation, called the I-Spy Act, which adds criminal
penalties to many of the violations covered by the Spy Act. The bills
include exemptions for determining if a computer is authorized to use
software that is being legitimately installed; monitoring networks, as
long as such monitoring is for security or repair purposes; and using
cookies to allow access to certain Web sites. With those exemptions,
the bills earned the support of The Business Software Alliance, Dell,
eBay, Microsoft, Time Warner, Yahoo, and EarthLink. Although no votes
have been scheduled for companion legislation that is pending in the
Senate, lawmakers still hope that the bills can be delivered to the
president's desk before Congress adjourns this Friday.

COLLEGES PRAISED FOR EFFORTS TO LIMIT COPYRIGHT VIOLATIONS
Members of Congress this week praised the efforts of some in the higher
education community to limit the incidence of illegal file trading on
campus networks. At a hearing of the Judiciary Committee's
Subcommittee on Courts, the Internet, and Intellectual Property,
witnesses testified about legal online music services on certain
campuses and about software developed by the University of California
at Los Angeles (UCLA) that automatically handles notices of copyright
infringement. The UCLA system disconnects students from the networks
and notifies them by e-mail of the offending files. Network access is
restored after the individual removes the files in question. Members of
the subcommittee applauded UCLA's system, saying the blocking of
network access for illegal file traders is an appropriate course of
action. James Davis, UCLA's associate vice chancellor for information
technology, said the number of copyright notices received by the
institution has fallen since the introduction of the system, and no
student has been disconnected more than once. The subcommittee also
said it supports the work of the Joint Committee of the Higher
Education and Entertainment Communities, which encourages colleges to
offer free legal services for students who download music on campus.

FIRST VICTORY FOR CAN-SPAM ACT
The first state prosecution under the federal CAN-SPAM Act was resolved
this week when the state of Massachusetts reached a settlement with DC
Enterprises and its principal owner, William Carson. Massachusetts
Attorney General Tom Reilly had filed the suit against Carson and DC
Enterprises in July, alleging that the company sent thousands of
messages that failed to provide a valid "opt-out" feature, did not
identify themselves as advertisements, and used bogus return addresses.
The messages reportedly asked recipients to send personal and financial
information. In a statement, Reilly described the e-mail messages as
the type that "threaten the credibility of companies using e-mail for
legitimate purposes." Carson and DC Enterprises will pay $25,000 and
will end practices that violate the CAN-SPAM Act as well as
Massachusetts state laws.

PURDY NAMED INTERIM HEAD OF CYBERSECURITY
Andy Purdy has been named interim head of cybersecurity in the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS), replacing Amit Yoran, who
abruptly resigned from the post after serving just one year. Yoran was
reportedly frustrated with what he saw as the Bush administration's
lack of support for efforts to improve cybersecurity. Yoran and members
of the technology industry had lobbied to have Yoran's position within
DHS elevated, a move that Congress appeared set to make this week.
Under a bill sponsored by Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), the position would be
elevated such that the director would report to the undersecretary for
information analysis and infrastructure protection, one step below DHS
Secretary Tom Ridge. In addition, the bill would require government
agencies to demonstrate consideration of security issues when
requesting new technology systems.

FTC PURSUES SPYWARE PROSECUTION
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has filed charges against Sanford
Wallace, alleging that his companies are guilty of installing spyware
that change browser settings, track users' surfing habits, and open
pop-up ads on their computers. Wallace is further charged with selling
antispyware tools that, according to the FTC, "resolve the specific
problems that the defendants themselves have caused." The FTC has asked
the courts to force Wallace's companies to remove the software they
have secretly installed and to refund consumers for the cost of the
antispyware products they have purchased. The U.S. House of
Representatives this week passed two antispyware bills, despite
comments in April by the FTC that it already had sufficient authority
to investigate and prosecute those accused of installing spyware.

More Headline News Avoided By Most Of The Major U.S. Media
NEW CORPORATE TAX CODE REPLACES ILLEGAL CORPORATE SUBSIDIES
More new tax breaks for American manufacturers, even though
corporate tax rates are already the lowest ever since WWII:
in a not so surprise move of "robbing Peter to pay Paul," a
bill in they U.S. Congress is about to continue the subsidy
to America as a corporation that was declared illegeal when
the World Trade Organization enforced various trade tarriff
and other treaties the U.S. has been avoiding so illegally,
up to now, that the WTO responded by putting a 12% tarriff,
as of 7 months ago, on 1,600 U.S. products sold abroad.
[Remember the WTO making all the news? It appears it today
is the case that the administration NOW thinks WTO rulings,
when they are not in lock-step with party politics, are NOT
such a good thing. . . .
It would appear that any company expressing an interest for
inclusion in this bill has been accomodated, from importers
of ceiling fans, to makers of fishing tackle boxes, all the
specific pork-barrel additions to this bill make a list the
lobbyists are saying was the most easy pickins of history.
One commentator said a company got a tax break if they have
just an ordinary lobbyist with a pulse.
Apparently the only proposed inclusion in this bill that is
NOT going forward was one to create a body to study the new
tax and deficit situation caused by the bill. . .literally,
the only ones NOT getting a break from the bill, taxpayers.
$145 billion more for them to pay, as their goverment finds
a way to make something now declared illegal appear legal.
One HUGE benefit is that outsourced corporations would send
home huge profits that were previously taxed at 35%. . .but
now will be taxed at only 5.25%. . .more like a sales tax.
Halliburton, General Electric and Texas oil are listed as a
sample of the largest beneficiaries, and the 4.3 cent tax a
trucker pays on diesel fuel has been repealed, while normal
drivers still have to pay their gasoline taxes. Prices for
airline tickets will continue to increase as jet fuel taxes
will be increased rather than decreased.
This bill will probably be passed this Friday, but you will
not see much follow-up in the major media.
