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.

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 44 weeks of this year, we have produced 3448 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 2000 to produce our FIRST 3448 eBooks!!!
That's 44 WEEKS as Compared to ~31 YEARS!!!
With 14,355 eBooks online as of November 10, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.70 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 $.98 when we had 10,069 eBooks a year ago
Can you imagine ~14,355 books each costing ~$.28 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine ~14,355 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 14,355 eBooks in 33 Years and 04.00 Months We Averaged
~430 Per Year [We do about 3/4 that much per month these days!]
35.5 Per Month
1.16 Per Day
At 3448 eBooks Done In The 314 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
11 Per Day
78 Per Week
344 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.

3334 New eBooks So Far in 2004

MICROSOFT JOINS THE SEARCH
Microsoft is introducing an Internet search service positioned to compete
with Google and Yahoo. Details of the service are expected tomorrow. John
Tinker of the investment bank ThinkEquity Partners suggests that Microsoft's
initial product will be just the beginning of a much larger competitive
threat: "I think Microsoft is a couple of years from doing anything serious,
but it's a reminder that the big bad evil beast is out there."

SPITTING MAD AT SPAM
Spam over Internet telephony, known as SPIT, will become commonplace as
more people make phone calls over the Internet. Internet researcher Michael
Osterman warns that Web-based phone systems attacked by spam will "trash
voice-mail systems," and explains: "You can easily delete 100 spam text
messages. But try to weed through a voice-mail system filled with 100
unsolicited pitches. That's a pain." Spam is already appearing frequently on
instant messages, cell phones, and blogs, and one executive of an Internet
service provider admits: "As everything gets connected, there are more ways
to spam consumers. Spam is everywhere." (USA Today 9 Nov 2004)

UNANIMOUS RULING: FCC, NOT STATES, WILL REGULATE VOIP
The Federal Communications Commission has ruled that the federal government
--rather than state regulatory bodies -- has the authority to oversee phone
service offered over the Internet (known as Voice over Internet Protocol,
or VoIP). FCC chairman Michael K. Powell says, "This landmark order
recognizes that a revolution has occurred. Internet voice services
have cracked the 19th century mold to the great benefit of consumers."

E-LEARNING MEANS LESS MONEY FOR TRADITIONAL SCHOOLS
A school superintendent in Colorado explains the plight of traditional
schools faced with declining enrollments due to competition from new systems
of learning: "If I lose two kids, that's $20,000 walking out the door... I
was worried about making sure that if one student left, my budget wasn't a
disaster." The state gives each school a per-pupil reimbursement for
students who attend brick-and-mortar schools, but spends only $5,627 to
educate each online student in Colorado. In almost all schools in that
state, the cost of educating an online student is lower than for a
traditional student. (Los Angeles Times 9 Nov 2004)

P2P RADIO IS LATEST TWIST IN MUSIC SHARING
Now there's a new way to share music that's free and perfectly legal
--the trick involves marrying peer-to-peer technology with Internet radio.
Pioneers in the field include Apple, Virgin Digital, and startups Mercora
and Live 365, which offer tools that automatically stream users' private
playlists over the Web while in some cases storing them in a searchable
database for later retrieval. Mercora operates a Web-based network of about
8,000 "broadcasters" who serve up their playlists to somewhere between
175,000 and 200,000 listeners worldwide. "We're doing for music what Google
did for the Web," says Mercora CEO Srivats Sampath. The company reasons
that by using an Internet broadcast network model, it can take advantage of
lower copyright fees, which are set by the U.S. Copyright Office rather
than the record labels. As a result, Mercora can afford to pay the fees on
behalf of broadcasters and offset the costs through advertising sales. "The
big nut we had to crack is how to do this legally," says Sampath. "The law
says you can broadcast as long as you pay. Fine, we will pay you." And if
listeners happen to download a song? Technically, if the legally broadcast
song is for personal use only, that's okay. "It's like a tape recorder,"
says Sampath. However, the downloader runs into legal trouble only when she
tries to sell a track or transfer it to another person.

NIGERIAN SCAMMER JAILED
[5 years jail for $5 million. . .sounds like not enough jail time,
and you know they didn't get the $5 million back. . . .]
The Australian mastermind of a global Internet scam was today
sentenced to at least four years behind bars. Nick Marinellis pleaded
guilty in the New South Wales District Court to 10 counts of fraud and one
count of perverting the course of justice over the so-called Nigerian or
West African scam. The ruse fleeced victims of $5 million. Judge Barry
Mahoney sentenced Marinellis to five years and three months jail with a
non-parole period of four years and four months. (The Australian 8 Nov

BIDDING UP PRICES ON ONLINE AUCTIONS
[Was this penalty enough, either? How about the rest of the scammed?]
Eight eBay sellers who bid up products online to inflate their prices
have been ordered by the New York Attorney General's office to pay almost
$90,000 in restitution and fines. More than 120 people will receive money
from the settlement of the three cases. One man will receive a check for
$3,089 after overpaying for a 1999 Jeep Cherokee sport-utility vehicle he
bought from an eBay seller in 2002.(Washington Post 7 Nov 2004)

IRAN'S CRACKDOWN ON PRO-DEMOCRACY WEB SITES
In the past several months Iran has blocked hundreds of pro-democracy
Web sites and arrested such journalists as Mahboubeh Abbas-Gholizadeh and
Fereshteh Ghazi, both of whom write about women's issues. But the move to
block Web sites has the support of senior cleric Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi,
who declared in September that Web sites should be blocked if they "insult
sacred concepts of Islam, the Prophet and Imams," or if they publish
"harmful and deviated beliefs to promote atheism or promote sinister books."

GAME MAKERS THREATENED BY PATENT LAWSUIT
Computer game makers, including such big names as Electronic Arts,
Atari and Sega, have been sued by Texas-based McKool Smith, which claims
the makers' games violate a 1987 patent that covers a way to display 3D
objects realistically in a 2D space, such as a computer monitor. The
technique is used by almost every game that uses 3D modeling, including
older games such as Quake and Doom. The companies are now frantically
researching prior art, citing games such as The Colony and Spectre, which
may have been released before the 1987 patent was granted.

IRELAND TO SILENCE MOBILES IN CINEMAS, THEATERS
Ireland's cinemas and theatres have been given the go-ahead by the
country's communications watchdog to permit the use of mobile phone
interceptors. Interceptors will allow the creation of "quiet zones" where
the mobile phones will not ring but where calls can still be made to
emergency services or to lists of approved numbers, the Communications
Regulator said on Wednesday. (The Age 4 Nov 2004) rec'd from John Lamp

INDIA UNVEILS NATIONAL INTERNET HUB
India has created a national Internet service hub to connect all
service providers and boost web traffic in the country of one billion
people. Until now, domestic Internet service providers have been forced to
rely on international traffic routing providers to run their Web sites, and
so Information and Technology Minister Dayanidhi Maran says the new plan
will help to "proliferate the Internet" in that domestic service providers
will now be able to reduce the cost of traffic routing and improve service
for subscribers. (The Australian 29 Oct 2004) Rec'd from J. Lamp

CELL PHONE PHOTOS MAKE THE FRONT PAGE
Twice in the last month De Telegraaf, the Netherlands' largest newspaper,
has run front-page photos snapped by amateur photographers using their
cell phones. Wednesday De Telegraaf published a grisly picture of the
body of filmmaker and columnist Theo van Gogh, who police suspect was
stabbed to death by an Islamic militant. Passerby Aron Boskma took the
photo at the crime scene in Amsterdam before the body had been covered.
"This picture was the story. There was a discussion if we should use it,
but everyone who would have had this picture would have published it,"
says Telegraaf pictures editor Peter Schoonen. Last month Dutch newspapers
published cell phone pictures of a police shoot-out in the town of
Enschede. In Japan, where many citizens now have camera-equipped cell
phones, it is common practice to sell news-breaking pictures to TV stations
and other media outlets. (Reuters 3 Nov 2004)

IE LOSING GROUND TO OPEN SOURCE BROWSERS
Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser is still the overwhelming
market leader [93%?], but the percentage of Americans using open-source
alternatives Mozilla and Firefox inched up to 6% in October from 3.5% in
June. Apple's Safari and the Opera browsers combined were employed by just
a little over 1% of users, according to online research firm WebSideStory.
The results were gleaned by sensors embedded on major Web sites that
identified which browsers visitors were using to access the sites. And
although Mozilla and Firefox constitute a miniscule portion of the browser
market, some analysts say their steady rise may signal a trend. "What we're
seeing is (Mozilla and Firefox) looking more like a vanguard than a flash
in the pan," says WebSideStory analyst Geoff Johnston.

MICROSOFT SETTLES MORE SUITS
Microsoft this week moved another step closer to clearing its slate of
pending antitrust legislation when it reached a $536 million settlement
with Novell over that company's NetWare operating system. In exchange,
Novell will withdraw from the antitrust case brought by the European
Commission (EC) against Microsoft. Microsoft also settled with the
Computer and Communications Industry Association (CCIA), which had
challenged the terms of the antitrust settlement between Microsoft and
the Justice Department. Under that deal, Microsoft will join the CCIA
and will pay undisclosed legal expenses; the CCIA will stop seeking a
review of the settlement with the Justice Department and will also
withdraw from the EC case. Since the landmark deal with the Justice
Department, Microsoft has now spent about $3 billion to settle
antitrust complaints, and the company might still be liable for another
$950 million for outstanding lawsuits, including one by RealNetworks.
Despite Microsoft's argument that the EC should end its case in light
of the new settlements, an EC spokesperson said regulators would not be

USING VIDEO GAMES TO IMPROVE ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE
Athletes at a number of colleges and universities are testing an
application called IntelliGym designed to improve athletic performance
through video games. Daniel Gopher, the research supervisor at the
company that developed IntelliGym, is known for his work in training
Israeli fighter pilots in the 1980s with video simulations. Cadets in
that program reportedly "performed significantly better" than others
who did not train with the computer games, and Gopher has applied the
same ideas to sports. Basketball players at the University of Memphis
are testing the IntelliGym program, which does not simulate basketball
but purportedly develops decision-making and visual skills applicable
to the game. IntelliGym endeavors to train players to keep track of
several things happening at one time, to discern patterns among moving
objects, and to make fast decisions.

NEXTEL AND VERIZON SETTLE DISPUTE
[unlike MicroSoft. . .]
In a settlement widely regarded as a win for Nextel Communications, the
wireless provider and Verizon Wireless have ended a long-running
dispute over trademarks and reallocation of spectrum. Under the deal,
Nextel will drop a lawsuit against Verizon alleging trademark
infringement for use of the term "push to talk," and Nextel agreed not
to pursue such charges against Verizon or any other carrier that uses
the term. Meanwhile, Verizon will end its opposition to a reallocation
of radio-wave spectrum between the government and Nextel. Nextel's
network was woven together with various slices of the spectrum that
often caused interference with emergency workers, such as police and
firefighters. A proposed spectrum swap with the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) would eliminate much of that interference, but Verizon
objected because the swap would also allow Nextel to upgrade its
network fairly easily and to offer high-speed data services. Under the
deal with the FCC, Nextel will return about $2 billion worth of
spectrum to the FCC and will spend at least $3.2 billion to help
relocate users affected by the change. The Government Accountability
Office still has to rule on whether the FCC has the authority to swap
the spectrum as outlined in the deal.

VIRGINIA SEES FIRST FELONY SPAM CONVICTION
A brother and sister in Virginia have been found guilty under that
state's antispam law, which some describe as the toughest in the
nation. Jeremy D. Jaynes and Jessica DeGroot, who live in North
Carolina, were charged with sending unsolicited e-mail from a bogus
return address. Prosecutors said the e-mail the pair sent advertised
fraudulent products, such as a "FedEx refund processor" that supposedly
allowed users to earn $75 an hour from their homes. During one month,
Jaynes reportedly received 10,000 orders for the processor, which was
priced at $39.95. Jurors in the nation's first felony conviction for
spam will now consider punishment for the two defendants. Prosecutors
have asked the jury to sentence Jaynes to the maximum 15 years in
prison and have requested an unspecified prison term for DeGroot.

*Headline News Avoided By Most Of The Major U.S. Media
Many of you have probably heard that a US National Guard F-16 fighter
shot up the Little Egg Harbor Intermediate School in New Jersey, but
you probably also heard that the damage from the 20mm cannon was minimal,
leaving only puncture marks on the roof and parking lot.
[From an anonymous source on another listserver]
"For your information, 20mm cannon shells are 5 times as massive as your
standard every day police 9mm Glock bullets, and are travelling so much
faster that you probably wouldn't believe it [when they leave the plane].
"The idea that these would only leave "puncture marks in the school's roof"
is hardly testing the bloggers who challenged Dan Rather last month.
"As an example, a .50 caliber machine gun would go right through a steel
I-beam one inch thick. . .and this is only about 12.7mm in size, so I
think any kind of follow-up examination will show that there is a LOT
of damage to anything these 25 cannon rounds hit."
***
And in addition to the story below, it would appear
that the US has had missiles prepared to knock down
satellites from both ground and air-based launchers
for quite some time.
US ADMITS TO DEPLOYMENT OF SPACE WARFARE TECHNOLOGY
Washington, DC, October 29
The US Air Force's Space Commanders finally admitted that they
had very quietly launched and activated various new weapons systems
aimed at jamming electronic satellite communications systems of the
other space faring countries of the world.
The "Counter Communications Systems has been in operation since last
month as per information from Peterson AFB in Colorado Springs.
Since the US does not currently have any operational space shuttles,
one is left to presume any orbital components were launched via the
recent Russian launch that orbited the most recent US astronaut.
However, no reference to any space-based components was made.
Announcements only mentioned ground-based RF [radio frequency] jammers
similar in concept to radio jammers since WW II.
***
...and in a related story, the FCC approval of the use of power lines to
transmit internet data will essentially wipe out certain shortwave and CB
frequencies in the USA (high-amplitude modulation at high frequencies,
a loud constant blast of radio noise which will drown out everything else
on those frequencies)... thankfully, this means that Americans will no longer be
subjected to the annoyance of news programs originating from the rest of the
world, which only served to confuse the situation and make peoples' heads
hurt with contradictory information, anyway... commerical truckers, who rely
on CB radio, will not be reachable for comment on their CB radios. . . .
*STRANGE QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"I tried 10 times to vote for Kerry,
but it always came up Bush."
*PREDICTION OF THE WEEK
This election will bear surprising
similarities to the previous one,
and to the last president declaring
a "mandate" when re-elected, Nixon.
*ODD STATISTICS OF THE WEEK
Women in US prisons are increasing at a rate
double that of men.
and. . . .
Not one of the major US television networks
has mentioned in their reasons for reporting
Vice President Gore as having been elected
to serve as president that perhaps those in
their exit polls actually thought they had
voted for Gore, but their votes didn't count.
and. . .
In a recent issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, the
Atlanta-based federal agency said that bigger luggage is not the only thing
weighing down airliners and causing them to burn more costly fuel. In fact,
the CDC said, the average weight of Americans increased by 10 pounds during
the 1990s - requiring an extra 350 million gallons of jet fuel to fly them
around during 2000.

Today marks 1/3 of a century of Project Gutenberg.
I will be sending out several announcements today
about the new Project Gutenberg Consortia Center.
The first few will be extremely brief, while some
that follow should answer questions you may have.
The site answers to 3 domain names, just pick the
the one you like the most:
pgcc.net
gutenberg.cc
gutenberg.us
There are approximately 37,000 files available on
this site, 27,000 of these are HTML files, with a
variety of other formats also included. The HTML
files should be easily accessible from the search
engine, please let us know of any that are not in
the search engine, graciously loaned to us. This
search engine is currently being modified to make
it specify it searches Project Gutenberg eBooks.
Another 10,000 or so files are accessible through
a variety of links to sites provided by donors of
the various eBooks.
These eBooks are catalogued as per the preference
of those who donated them, most with one entry to
each book, but many are listed by chapter, and in
some particular cases, even by page, as per those
who donated them.
Please let us know by reply to this email, and to
info@gutenberg.cc
of any ways we can improve your access.
On request, I will provide a single email with an
entire collection of this series of messages, for

of a shorter nature.
Thank you so much for all the support we received
over the first 33 1/3 of Project Gutenberg.

Press release:
THE FIRST PROJECT GUTENBERG CONSORTIUM CENTER IS OPEN!!!
November 4, 2004
Today, on the one-third of a century anniversary date of
Project Gutenberg, it is my pleasure to announce a site
designed for the exchange of entire eBook collections--
The first of the Project Gutenberg Consortia Centers is
located at a site designated by its initials: pgcc.net
The mission of the Project Gutenberg Consortia Centers:
to help people legally exchange eBook collections under
the various new copyright laws.
As you may know, different countries had copyright laws
change drastically over the last few years, and we hear
even more changes are coming at the end of this year.
Therefore, we are making this effort to help those whom
these copyright extensions will effect, to insure their
continued abilities to provide free eBooks within rules
of their new copyright laws; such as many EU countries,
and apparently Australia at the end of this year, along
with various other changes we will try to help everyone
keep up with.
We hope to be making similar announcements next year to
let you know about more such sites under the laws of an
assortment of countries worldwide.

Note: Several years ago when the first of Churchill's novels were
contributed to Project Gutenberg a note was inserted in the header stating
the author was a "cousin of Sir Winston Churchill." This note was
dutifully perpetuated in the headers of the next 59 etexts in the PG
Churchill series. Richard Stauduhar kindly called to our attention this
was erroneous--in the reposting of the entire set this misinformation has
been corrected along with several hundred other errors.

>From Joe Loewenstein about George Bird Grinnell, the author of
Blackfeet Indian Stories, eBook #13833:
George Bird Grinnell was born in 1849. As a boy he attended school in
the home of John James Audubon, where he acquired a love of birds, leading
to a career as a naturalist. He served as a naturalist on Custer's 1874
expedition to the Black Hills. He became fascinated by the culture of the
Indians, even being adopted into the Pawnee tribe. His books on Indian
culture were among the most authoratative works on the subject.
~ ~ ~
David Price on #13879, The Death of Balder, by Johannes Ewald:
For those interested: It's a play which takes the story of how Balder,
one of Danish man/gods, met his death. The main point of the eText
isn't so much the play or Ewald's work as such, but that this is a very
rare work by English eccentric George Borrow.
~ ~ ~
And Happy New Year to the rest of you who celebrated the Poundian New Year
on Nov 1! (Just a reminder: The year is now 83 p.s.U.)

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.

do a stack of these and send the whole box back for reshipping.
We can also reimburse you for supplies and postage if you wish.

*** Permanent Requests For Assistance:
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 43 weeks of this year, we have produced 3374 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 2000 to produce our FIRST 3374 eBooks!!!
That's 43 WEEKS as Compared to ~31 YEARS!!!
With 14,281 eBooks online as of November 03, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.70 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 $.98 when we had 10,069 eBooks a year ago
Can you imagine ~14,281 books each costing ~$.28 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine ~14,281 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 14,281 eBooks in 33 Years and 04.00 Months We Averaged
428 Per Year [We do about 3/4 that much per month these days!]
35.5 Per Month
1.16 Per Day
At 3374 eBooks Done In The 307 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
11 Per Day
78 Per Week
346 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.
*Flashback!!!
3334 New eBooks So Far in 2004
It took us ~31 years for the first 3324 !
That's the 9.75 months of 2004 as Compared to ~31 years!!!

GETTING INSIDE YOUR HEAD
Brain scanning technology (long used to detect conditions such as
Alzheimer's and autism) is now being used to understand how people make
choices and how they react to such things as religious experiences, Coke
versus Pepsi marketing, and Democrat versus Republican political campaigns.
Known as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), brain scans measure
blood flow. During an fMRI, active regions of the brain can be seen lighting
up on a computer monitor, indicating either empathy or opposition to what
(or whom) the subject is being asked to think about. But the technology is
raising strong ethical concerns about "neuromarketing" from critics such as
Gary Ruskin of the nonprofit organization Commercial Alert: "This is a story
of the corruption of medical research. It's a technology that should be used
to ease human suffering, not make political propaganda more effective."

SPYWARE EPIDEMIC THREATENS TO STALL COMPUTER INDUSTRY
Computer makers say that their technical support lines are lit up by
consumers frustrated over sluggish performance and increasingly they're
tracing the problems back to one culprit: spyware. Companies are concerned
about the cost of the calls, but they're even more worried that that
customers will wrongly blame them for performance deficiencies. Russ
Cooper, senior scientist with TruSecure Corp., says now that spyware has
become epidemic, it's time for Microsoft and other technology companies to
launch a public education campaign along the lines of the old "Only *you*
can prevent forest fires" concept. The industry's incentive is pure
survival, says Cooper. Microsoft officials blame rogue software for up to a
third of applications crashes on Windows XP computers and AOL estimates
that just three such programs together cause about 300,000 Internet
disconnections per day. Forrester Research analyst Jonathan Penn says
spyware-related customer support can cost $15 to $45 per phone call, but
it's worth it. "Security is a component of loyalty. People, they want all
these various services, but they expect security to come with it."

INTERNET BROADENS VOTERS' POLITICAL HORIZONS
More than 40% of U.S. Internet users have gotten news and information
about this year's presidential campaign online, and 31% of broadband users
now cite the Net as their primary source of campaign news -- about the same
number as those who rely on newspapers (35%). And while some pundits had
expressed concern that wider use of the Internet would result in a
decreased exposure to viewpoints that conflict with users', it turns out
that Internet users have a greater overall exposure to political arguments,
including those that challenge their preferences. "People are using the
Internet to broaden their political horizons, not narrow them," says Kelly
Garret, co-author of a new report from the Pew Internet & American Life
Project. "Use of the Internet doesn't necessarily diminish partisanship, or
even zealotry. But it does expose online Americans to more points of view,
and, on balance, that is a good thing." One surprise coming out of the
survey -- about 20% of Americans say they actually prefer news sources that
challenge their point of view, and nearly 10% are *more* aware of arguments
that oppose their candidate than arguments in favor. (Pew Internet &
American Life Project 28 Oct 2004)

AMD's LOW-COST ONLINE-ACCESS DEVICE
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) plans to sell an Internet access device in
India and other developing countries for two to three hundred dollars.
Called the Personal Internet Communicator (PIC), it was developed in
conjunction with companies such as Solectron, Seagate, Samsung, and
Macromedia, and will be sold in India through VSNL, an international phone
service and Internet access provider that's part of the India's Tata
conglomerate. VNSL will offer the device, which runs on a Microsoft
Windows-based operating system, as a bundled service to broadband customers.
Although Internet penetration in India is now about 0.4% and broadband
penetration 0.02%, the country plans to have 20 million broadband and 40
million Internet users by 2010, with much of that growth coming from
wireless technologies. (Reuters/USA Today 31 Oct 2004)

CHINA CLOSES INTERNET CAFES
China has shut down 1,600 Internet cafes and fined operators a total of
$12 million because they allowed children play violent games or commit other
violations of the government's policies to clean up Web sites and video
games. Investigators have inspected 1.8 million Internet cafes looking for
unlicensed operations, has ordered 18,000 of them to "stop operation for
rectification" of violations. The country has the world's second-largest
population of Internet users after the United States, with 87 million people
online. Culture Ministry official Zhang Xinjian says: "Porn, gambling,
violence and similar problems have adversely affected the healthy
development of the Internet in China." (AP/Los Angeles Times 1 Nov 2004)

BUSH WEB SITE BLOCKS FOREIGN VISITORS
The Bush-Cheney campaign has cut off access to its Web site by anyone
outside the U.S. or Canada. Instead, those visitors will see the message:
"Access denied. You don't have permission to access www.georgewbush.com on
this server." The move comes a week after a crippling hacker attack that
took down the Web site for six hours. Security experts say that while it's
not usual for Web sites to block traffic from specific Internet addresses
or from certain countries notorious for churning out spam, the Bush-Cheney
campaign's move is probably unprecedented. "I've never heard of a site
wholesale blocking access from the rest of the world," says Johannes
Ulrich, CTO for the SANS Internet Storm Center. "I guess they decided it
just wasn't worth the trouble to leave it open to foreign visitors." Jonah
Sieger, a founding partner for Connections Media, which does consulting
work with Democratic candidates, says it doesn't make sense for the
Bush-Cheney folks to "consciously block access to anybody. Maybe the next
thing they'll try is to block Democrats and people in blue states from
coming to the site." (Washington Post 27 Oct 2004)

VIDEO GAMES FOR THE VERY YOUNG
Video game makers are turning their attention to the younger crowd --
in this case, children as young as 2 or 3 -- in an effort to meet demand
and groom a new generation of players. A report issued last year by the
Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation indicated that half of all 4- to
6-year-olds had played video games -- on handheld devices, computers or
game consoles -- and a quarter reported playing several times a week. Of
children 3 or younger, 14% had played video games. "Companies have found
that there's an untapped market with the really young kid," says Kaiser VP
Vicky Rideout. To meet this demand, Atari is marketing a line of PC games
for children aged 3 to 6 that come in see-through boxes and include a small
toy, like a doll or action figure. The new market comes as a boon for the
multibillion-dollar video game industry as it looks to expand beyond its
core constituency -- males aged 14 to 34. And by starting the kids early,
it "helps to feed in new gamers all the time," says an executive at one
video game company. Meanwhile, an analyst with research firm NPD Group says
that partly as a result of this shift, conventional toy sales are flat. "If
parents are spending $200, $400 and more on these things, they take away
from other things kids can have. But kids seem very happy and content with
a computer and a couple of games." (New York Times 28 Oct 2004)

SIGN OF THE TIMES: GOLD MP3s
In a nod to the digital age, the Recording Industry Association of
America has issued its first gold, platinum and multiplatinum
certifications for digital downloads. RIAA chief executive Mitch Bainwol
calls the awards "a reflection of both the commitment of the entire music
community to consumer-friendly legitimate digital services and fan appetite
for high-quality music." The RIAA based its certifications on sales from
legitimate digital download services, including Apple iTunes, Musicmatch,
Napster and RealNetworks. And the winner is: Outkast's "Hey Ya!" with more
than 400,000 downloads (earning it the only multiplatinum designation). In
addition, six songs qualified for platinum (200,000 downloads) and 45 for
gold (100,000 downloads). (CNet News.com 27 Oct 2004)

INTERNET MUSIC REWRITES INDUSTRY RULES
While the music industry has been focusing on music piracy, another
phenomenon is slowly emerging -- the Web as venture capital source.
Chart-topping rockers The Darkness have sold enough downloads, T-shirts and
other fan-abilia to finance their next album, and British band Marillion
has used its site to raise funds for its last two albums -- before they
recorded them. "The Internet is our savior. Without it, we wouldn't be what
we are today. It's really turned the business around," says Marillion's
marketing manager. Meanwhile, Universal Music has begun using the Web as a
testing/breeding ground for new acts, signing them to a "digital rights"
contract before committing serious money to their promotion. "It acts as an
incubation label, if you will," says Universal Music UK new media services
director Rob Wells. "It's the Marillion concept." (Reuters/CNet 31 Oct 2004)

E-VOTING COMPANIES DIVULGE *SOME* SOFTWARE CODE
Electronic voting equipment makers Diebold Election Systems, Election
Systems & Software, Hart InterCivic and Sequoia Voting Systems have agreed
to submit millions of lines of software code to the National Software
Reference Library, but have refused to include their most valuable data --
their proprietary source code. They also say they might not provide the
library with copies of software patches and updates. The companies acted at
the request of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, whose chairman
noted that although the data submitted was far from complete, he hoped the
companies' ongoing submissions would eventually result in making election
software more transparent. A number of scientists have called for "open
source" voting software that could be independently verified, but many
computer security experts remain pessimistic because no technology exists
today that would allow an election official who suspects fraud to check
software code on a voting machine and compare with the code stored in the
library. Avi Rubin, technical director of the Johns Hopkins Information
Security Institute, called the code-sharing program "meaningless."

LANDLINES YIELD TO MOBILES IN INDIA
Mobile phone users have outstripped traditional landline connections
in India, according to the industry, marking a major lifestyle and
communications milestone for the rapidly changing country. A survey
conducted by India's leading telecoms magazine, Voice and Data, found 45
million people possess mobile phones in India compared to 44 million who
have landlines. "It took landline phone subscriptions 50 years to get to
the 40-million-mark while mobile phones have touched it in nine years and
four months. Mobile phones have created a complete culture change in
communication," says the magazine's senior assistant editor, Pravin
Prashant. (The Age 25 Oct 2004) rec'd from John Lamp

OXFORD HANDS OUT PUNISHMENT FOR HACKING
Oxford University's Court of Summary Jurisdiction has suspended two
students who hacked into the university's computer and then wrote
about their exploits in the student newspaper. Patrick Foster and Roger
Waite admitted they compromised the university's computer system,
using a program they easily obtained online, and said they publicized
the event to bring attention to the system's lax security. The
university court did not find the students' explanation of altruism
compelling, suspending Foster until May 2005 and Waite until January
2005. A spokesperson for the university declined to discuss details of
the case but noted that "[a]ny student found to have breached
university regulations on computer use would face disciplinary action."
Foster and Waite said they would appeal the suspension, which they
describe as "too harsh." Foster said, "We were simply trying to expose
the security failings in Oxford's IT network."

MORE SUPPORT FOR ADDING GAMES TO CURRICULUM
Researchers at the Institute of Education at London University contend
that the study of computer and video games has a place in the academic
curriculum just as do studies of film, television, and literature. The
findings are based on a three-year study in the United Kingdom of games
and their influence on education. According to Caroline Pelletier,
manager of the project, "Games literacy is a way of investigating how
games are means of expression and representation, just like writing or
drawing." Andrew Burn, associate director of the Institute of
Education's Centre for the Study of Children, Youth, and Media, called
games "a legitimate cultural form that deserve critical analysis." Burn
noted that, according to the study, a key element of the value of games
is allowing students to create their own games. Researchers did
acknowledge, however, that in the often male-dominated world of gaming,
many of the girls in the study felt left out. Research fellow Diane
Carr said that girls "have little motivation to play and remain
disengaged." Representatives of the gaming industry praised the
researchers for "intelligently" addressing the "cultural, social, and
educational value of computer and video games."

THE GROWING PROBLEM OF SPYWARE
As the number of computers infected with spyware spirals upward,
technology companies face a growing burden, both for supporting users
whose computers are slowed by spyware and for protecting their
corporate reputation from the perception that they are to blame.
Microsoft estimates that one-third of Windows XP crashes result from
spyware, and AOL says that three spyware applications alone cause
300,000 Internet disconnections per day. A significant portion of
spyware is installed with other applications, such as games or
file-sharing tools. Often, users who download such applications and
agree to licensing terms unwittingly consent to the spyware also, which
is included in long licensing agreements. Because many users
technically agree to install spyware, companies such as Dell are unable
to do much to help those customers when they call complaining of slow
performance. Companies such as Dell and HP are beginning to address the
problem, however, by including antispyware tools with new computers,
and Microsoft's Service Pack 2 for Windows XP works to protect users
by notifying them whenever such applications are being installed.

CHINESE AUTHORITIES CLOSE INTERNET CAFES
Government officials in China have acknowledged the forced closure of
1,600 Internet cafes and the temporary closure of many thousands more.
The Chinese Culture Ministry takes an active role in protecting the
country's youth from online content including gambling, pornography,
and violence, and the ministry is known for forbidding access to some
Internet sites from anywhere in the country. Citing concerns over
minors' accessing inappropriate content, the ministry commented
officially that of the country's 1.8 million Internet cafes, 18,000
have been fined, ordered to close temporarily, or shut down permanently.
For many in China, the cafes are the only means to access the Internet.

*Headline News Avoided By Most Of The Major U.S. Media
Two stories from the BBC shortwave broadcast to Bermuda:
[The "BBC North American World Service" was discontinued
in favor of selling the programming to U.S. radio and TV]
1.
A BBC reporter in Florida said she, and others present,
counted 150 voters come in, fill out 150 forms, but 184
votes were recorded, even though only 150 paper trails.
2.
"I voted for Kerry but it came up for Bush." [Ohio]

much all night, and actually said these two states in
reverse when reporting this over the phone, so I'm not

US ADMITS TO DEPLOYMENT OF SPACE WARFARE TECHNOLOGY
Washington, DC, October 29
The US Air Force's Space Commanders finally admitted that they
had very quietly launched and activated various new weapons systems
aimed at jamming electronic satellite communications systems of the
other space faring countries of the world.
The "Conter Communications Systems has been in operation since last
month as per information from Peterson AFB in Colorado Springs.
Since the US does not currently have any operational space shuttles,
one is left to presume any orbital components were launched via the
recent Russian launch that orbited the most recent US astronaut.
However, no reference to any space-based components was made.
Announcements only mentioned ground-based RF [radio frequency] jammers
similar in concept to radio jammers since WW II.
***
...and in a related story, the FCC approval of the use of power lines to
transmit internet data will essentiall wipe out certain shortwave and CB
frequencies in the USA (high-amplitude modulation at high frequencies,
a loud constant blast of radio noise which will drown out everything else
on those frequencies)... thankfully, this means that Americans will no longer be
subjected to the annoyance of news programs originating from the rest of the
world, which only served to confuse the situation and make peoples' heads
hurt with contradictory information, anyway... commerical truckers, who rely
on CB radio, will not be reachable for comment on their CB radios. . . .
DEPT OF HOMELAND SECURITY PURSUES RUBIK'S CUBE IP CASE
The Oregonian reports that a local Oregon toy store received
a visit from federal Homeland Security agents demanding that
the owner remove a toy called the Magic Cube, which they
claimed was an illegal copy of the Rubik's Cube. Officials
say that their agency is responsible for "protecting the
integrity of the economy and our nation's financial systems
and obviously trademark infringement does have significant
economic implications."
Yes, there have been other cases as well of use of the PATRIOT Act to
pursue copyright infringement. In theory, anything that affects the
economy could be called a national security issue, but what is
significant is that it is so far only intellectual property that has
been singled out for this special protection.
CHINA AIMS AT FIVE-DAY SPACE SHOT
from BBC News Online
China's second manned space flight will carry two astronauts into space and
will orbit the Earth for five days.
The country's space authorities made the announcement about the mission, which
is scheduled for next year, at an air show in China's Guangzhou Province.
Mission scientists said they have been working to optimise the performance,
safety and reliability of the spacecraft, named Shenzhou VI.

>From Joe Loewenstein about George Bird Grinnell, the author of
Blackfeet Indian Stories, eBook #13833:
George Bird Grinnell was born in 1849. As a boy he attended school in
the home of John James Audubon, where he acquired a love of birds, leading
to a career as a naturalist. He served as a naturalist on Custer's 1874
expedition to the Black Hills. He became fascinated by the culture of the
Indians, even being adopted into the Pawnee tribe. His books on Indian
culture were among the most authoratative works on the subject.

David Price on #13879, The Death of Balder, by Johannes Ewald:
For those interested: It's a play which takes the story of how Balder,
one of Danish man/gods, met his death. The main point of the eText
isn't so much the play or Ewald's work as such, but that this is a very
rare work by English eccentric George Borrow.

A crisis is when you can't say: "let's forget the whole thing".

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

Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 42 weeks of this year, we have produced 3318 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 2000 to produce our FIRST 3318 eBooks!!!
That's 42 WEEKS as Compared to ~31 YEARS!!!
With 14,225 eBooks online as of October 27, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.70 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 $.99 when we had 10,069 eBooks a year ago
Can you imagine ~14,225 books each costing ~$.29 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine ~14,225 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 14,225 eBooks in 33 Years and 03.75 Months We Averaged
427 Per Year [We do about 3/4 that much per month these days!]
35.5 Per Month
1.16 Per Day
At 3318 eBooks Done In The 300 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
11.0 Per Day
78.5 Per Week
338.4 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.

[PG Editor's Comments In Brackets]
>From NewsScan:
DESCENT FROM PRIVACY: A 'SLIPPERY SLOPE'
Pam Dixon, executive director of the World Privacy Forum, warns: "Most
consumers don't fully understand the tradeoffs they're making with privacy."
As an example, she argues that the potential widespread use of the VeriChip
-- a tiny radio transmitter inserted under a person's skin -- is "a
nightmare situation" for privacy, because at first workers might be induced
to wear the devices simply to get high-security jobs but that eventually the
transmitters would be much more broadly required: "All of a sudden it
becomes mandatory for certain classes of people. I just see this as an
extremely slippery slope."(Christian Science Monitor 21 Oct 2004)

U.S. PASSPORTS GET CHIPPED
[If crooks read your passport, they will know when you are not at home.]
Beginning in January, diplomats and U.S. State Department employees
will be issued passports containing embedded RFID chips that will contain
the individual's name, address, date and place of birth, and a digital
photo. Ordinary citizens applying for new passports will get the high-tech
version starting in the spring. Civil liberties advocates have called the
new passports a "privacy horror," and point out that even if the data were
encrypted (and it's not), it would still be very easy to steal. "If 180
countries have access to the technology for reading this thing, whether or
not it is encrypted, from a security standpoint, that is a very leaky
system," says Electronic Frontier Foundation attorney Lee Tien. "Strictly
from a technology standpoint, any reader system, even with security, that
was so widely deployed and accessible to so many people worldwide will be
subject to some very interesting compromises." Meanwhile, a travel privacy
expert says that in addition to identity thieves, commercial travel
companies, including hotels, will capture the data when people check in or
exchange currency. Intel RFID expert Roy Want says those fears are overblown,
but acknowledges some theft is possible: "In principle someone could rig up
a reader, perhaps in a doorway you are forcing people to go through.
You could read some of these tags some of the time." (Wired.com 21 Oct 2004)

ROBOT USE TO SURGE BY 2007
The use of robots to perform household tasks such as lawn-mowing,
vacuuming, guard duty and other chores is slated to increase sevenfold by
2007, according to the U.N.'s latest World Robotics Survey. The report says
607,000 automated domestic helpers are in use now, two thirds of them
purchased last year. Most of them -- 570,000 -- are robot vacuum cleaners,
and 37,000 of them are robotic lawn-mowers. While the report predicts that
vacuum cleaners will continue to hold the lead, sales of window-washing and
pool-cleaning robots are expected to take off. Meanwhile, sales of robotic
companions, like Sony's Aibo dog, are also expanding, with some 692,000
"entertainment robots" around the world. Japan remains home to about half
of the current 800,000 industrial robots, which are used primarily on
automobile assembly lines, but Europe and North America are catching up.
And "service robots" are branching out, performing such tasks as milking
cows, handling toxic waste, transporting medicine around hospitals and
assisting surgeons. By the end of this decade, robots will "also assist old
and handicapped people with sophisticated interactive equipment, carry out
surgery, inspect pipes and sites that are hazardous to people, fight fire
and bombs," says the report. (AP 21 Oct 2004)

MUSIC INDUSTRY ON THE WRONG COURSE
Wharton business professor Joel Waldfogel says the music industry is
mistakenly pursuing a short-term strategy in backing the Inducing
Infringement of Copyrights Act of 2004, which would hold liable any entity
that "intentionally aids, abets, induces or procures" copyrighted material.
Rather than fighting technological advances through litigation, the music
industry must come up with new business models -- for instance, taking
advantage of the Internet to slash its distribution costs. "Instead of
putting out CDs and shipping them on trucks, they can send them directly at
a very low cost. That does suggest a very different business model than
charging $15 or $20 for a CD. It might be a much more attractive way to do
things. Stuff that is easy to distribute wants to be free. Given that
force, I think [the recording industry] needs to come up with a new model
for generating income," says Waldfogel. (Knowledge@Wharton Oct 20-Nov 2 2004)

ADVERTISERS TRACK RADIO LISTENING HABITS
In 14 locations around the Washington area, a company called
MobilTrak has installed sensing devices on utility poles that pick up the
electronic signals from cars' antennas as they speed by and record which
station they're listening to. The monitoring process gives businesses a
welcome insight into the listening habits of their target audience and
helps them decide how to allocate their advertising budget, says MobilTrak
managing partner C. David Boice: "It's all about precision marketing. It's
about giving marketers real-time data about what's happening in certain
areas at certain times so they don't waste their advertising dollars." The
most enthusiastic adopters have been car dealerships, who generally believe
that 80% of their business comes from people who live or work within 10
miles of their location. One dealer found that the two stations he'd been
investing in -- a talk-personality station and a contemporary music station
-- didn't even rank in the top 10 for in-car radio listeners driving by his
dealership. "It was a real eye-opener," he says. Currently, MobilTrak picks
up only FM signals, but the company says it plans to introduce technology
that picks up AM and satellite station signals next spring.

CYBERSECURITY LARGELY IGNORED BY INDIVIDUAL USERS
A new study by America Online and the National Cyber Security
Alliance indicates that about 80% of home PCs are infected with spyware,
but most users aren't even aware of it. And while 85% of users had
installed antivirus software, two-thirds of those had not updated it in
the past week. In addition, about 20% had an active virus on their machines
and two-thirds did not have a firewall installed. AOL chief trust officer
Tatiana Gau says the results highlight just how vulnerable the average
online user is to malicious hackers. "No consumer would walk down
the street waving a stack of cash or leave their wallet sitting in a
public place, but far too many are doing the exact same thing online.
Without basic protections like antivirus, spyware and firewall software,
consumers are leaving their personal and financial information at risk."

SPYWARE RAMPANT, USERS UNAWARE
Results of a recent study highlight the lack of awareness among a wide
majority of home computer users about malicious code and the tools they
could use to protect their computers against it. The study was carried
out by America Online and the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA),
which is promoting October as National Cyber Security Awareness Month.
Technicians from AOL and NCSA went to the homes of more than 300
computer users and inspected their systems. Among the study's more
alarming findings were that 80 percent of home computers are currently
infected with spyware and that 90 percent of users with infected
machines were completely unaware of the infection. Authors of the
report's findings also noted that close to 60 percent of home users do
not know the difference between a firewall and antivirus software and
that two-thirds of users do not have a firewall installed. Although 85
percent of users had antivirus software installed on their computers,
only one-third had updated it within the previous week. Of the
computers studied, 20 percent had active viruses.

JUDGE ISSUES RESTRAINING ORDER ON SPYWARE
A federal judge has issued a restraining order against notorious
spammer Stanford Wallace, forcing him to disable spyware programs that
secretly track users' actions and flood their computers with pop-up
ads. Wallace, who in the 1990s headed one of the most prolific spamming
companies, is the target of the first action taken by the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) against spyware purveyors. The FTC also alleges that
Wallace sold consumers bogus tools that supposedly detect and remove
spyware. Wallace's attorney said his client wants to use the Internet
in "lawful and proper ways" and "looks forward to an opportunity to
establish exactly what advertising practices are allowable." Laura
Sullivan, attorney for the FTC, described the judge's order as "relief
for consumers" while the case is being resolved. A hearing in the case
has been scheduled for November 9.

IBM will begin releasing monthly security reports called the Global
Business Security Index to give corporate customers a snapshot of
current threats to computer networks. The reports will be based on data
collected from 2,700 IBM employees and about 500,000 sensors in 34
countries. The sensors are applications that monitor attacks and
attempted attacks against networks. The new reports will be part of
IBM's Security Threats and Attack Trends service, which is available
for about $10,000 a month and resembles the DeepSight Threat Management
System offered by Symantec. Analysts said such tools are valuable for
network administrators to anticipate threats and minimize the damage
they cause. Observers noted, however, that the computer security
industry is locked in a cycle of announcing vulnerabilities and then
working frantically to patch them before hackers exploit them.

*Headline News Avoided By Most Of The Major U.S. Media
DISNEY AND VIACOM: HUGE FINES FOR TOO MUCH ADVERTIZING
Only the more independent media are reporting that Disney,
the world's second largest media company, has been fined a
whopping half million dollars for placing more advertizing
than is legal in their programming. In addition, Viacom--
the multimedia empire--has been fined a million dollars to
also penalize them for this illegal behavior.
Even in these days of rampant deregulation, there is still
a law against saturating programs with advertizing and the
"product placement" of advertizing items within programs--
and both Disney and Viacom were nabbed by the FCC--Federal
Communications Commission for these violations, but you do
not hear much about this on the major media who are in bed
with these two media giants through various deals. A news
report literally half way around the world reported this.
The laws prohibit advertizing in excess of 20% of showtime
[slightly different on weekdays than weekends], but it was
broken some 600 times last year in this case, and some 145
product placement violations were cited in this period, in
which products related to the programs were illegally sold
in the programs' advertizing slots.
The vast majority [85 million] of U.S. households received
these programs last year, in which various programs of ABC
and Disney were cited for these violations.
[Note, most or all of these laws are designed to protect a
viewer of age 12 or under from more than 20% saturation of
advertizing per hour of television. Apparently adults are
expected to fend for themselves, as they get saturated for
approximately 1/3 of each hour with advertizing. If there
is anything you can forward on this, please do.]
[In related stories from various stock exchanges, it would
appear Disney is not doing well, with European stock price
falling dramatically, and the selling off of the 333 store
Disney chain of retail outlets. Disney investors are also
suing Disney a couple million dollars for paying off their
former Disney President, Michael Ovitz, to the tune of $77
million dollars, apparently including such personages as a
former U.S. Senate member, and a famous Oscar winner, in a
legal process that could apparently be taught in textbooks
for the next few centuries. The details are still sketchy
but apparently there was a total of $140 million involved,
as severance pay for Mr. Ovitz, perhaps only half of which
is involved in this case. Ovitz barely lasted one year as
Disney President, and due to the manner in which he left a
severance package is being challenged as inappropriate. A
quick look indicates he was hired 9 years ago, so why have
the lawsuits only come up now? In another point, it would
appear that the Disney corporation would get to keep funds
and interest returned under this lawsuit, not investors.]
Law pundits predict that this case will drive up the price
of executive salaries paid up front, as this case seems to
have poked a serious hold in the Golden Parachute idea.
*ODD STATISTICS OF THE WEEK
THE HUMAN GENOME IS SHRINKING
Recent estimates over the years of how many genes it takes
to actually build a human being are shrinking. Remember a
while back when they talked about millions of genes. . . .
Now they think it really only takes just over 20,000. . .!
It turns out most of the human genome doesn't do very much.
INDEX FINGERS POINT THE WAY FOR MALE SCIENTISTS
from The Scotsman
Male scientists are good at research because they have higher-than-average
levels of the female hormone oestrogen which aids analytical skills, a
study on Bath University academics today revealed.
The survey found that male scientists tended to have longer index fingers
than other men, indicating high levels of oestrogen present in their
bodies.
Men studied had levels of oestrogen as high as their testosterone levels,
which caused the right side of their brains responsible for spatial and
analytical skills, to develop more strongly.

MORE/MOORE ON TERABYTES
According to the Thursday, October 14, 2004, edition of the Wall
Street Journal On-Line, the cost of 1 gigabyte of hard-disk storage
is less than $1 today, down from $560,000 in 1976. [Actually, I am
reporting that I saw gigabytes for sale for $.44 last Tuesday.]
$440 per Terabyte
Last week I saw 250G drives for $110 at over the counter stores,
so you could buy a terabyte for $440, no rebates required; a few
more dollars for USB boxes to put them in, and it's perhaps $500.

Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 41 weeks of this year, we have produced 3249 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 2000 to produce our FIRST 3249 eBooks!!!
That's 41 WEEKS as Compared to ~31 YEARS!!!
With 14,156 eBooks online as of October 20, 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 $1.00 when we had 10,004 eBooks a year ago
Can you imagine ~14,156 books each costing ~$.29 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine ~14,156 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 14,156 eBooks in 33 Years and 03.50 Months We Averaged
425 Per Year [We do about 3/4 that much per month these days!]
35.4 Per Month
1.16 Per Day
At 3249 eBooks Done In The 293 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
11.1 Per Day
79.2 Per Week
342.0 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.

GOOGLE TACKLES DESKTOP SEARCH
[I'd love to hear from anyone trying this out!]
Google has released free Desktop Search software that addresses an
ongoing headache for users -- finding e-mails and files on their own
computers. The move pits Google directly against Microsoft, which includes
a file-search feature in its operating systems and is planning a more
comprehensive tool in the future. Google's Desktop Search
(http://desktop.google.com/) sifts through Microsoft Office and text files,
e-mails, AOL instant messenger exchanges, and Web sites that users have
visited in the past. Once installed, the software creates an index of the
PC owner's files to speed up the search process, and when the owner then
uses Google to search for something, a small box showing related files will
appear above the Web results. "Our goal for the application is to have it
act like a photographic memory for your computer," says Google consumer Web
products director Marissa Mayer. (Wall Street Journal 14 Oct 2004)

GOOGLE'S PC SEARCH TOOL MIGHT PROVE THE 'PERFECT SPY'
Google Desktop Search, released last Thursday in a "beta" test phase,
may prove a boon to disorganized PC users who need assistance in finding
data on their computers, but it also has a downside for those who use
public or workplace computers. Its indexing function may compromise the
privacy of users who share computers for such tasks as processing e-mail,
online shopping, medical research, banking or any activity that requires a
password. "It's clearly a very powerful tool for locating information on
the computer," says one privacy consultant. "On the flip side of things,
it's a perfect spy program." The program, which is currently available only
for Windows PCs, automatically records any e-mail read through Outlook,
Outlook Express or the Internet Explorer browser, and also saves pages
viewed through IE and conversations conducted via AOL Instant Messenger. In
addition, it finds Word, Excel and PowerPoint files stored on the computer.
And unlike the built-in cache of recent Web sites visited that's included
in most browser histories, Google's index is permanent, although individuals
can delete items individually. Acknowledging potential privacy concerns,
a Google executive says managers of shared computers should think twice about
installing the tool before advanced features like password protection
and multi-user support are available. (AP/Washington Post 19 Oct 2004)

DELL TAKES A BITE OUT OF APPLE
Dell launched its diminutive Dell Digital Jukebox music player,
dubbed the DJ 5, which features 5GB of storage for $199. The move signals a
direct challenge to Apple, whose 4GB iPod Mini sells for $249. In addition,
Dell lowered the price on its existing 20GB Dell DJ from $279 to $249 and
introduced a new line of plasma TVs, which start at $2,299. The PC maker's
aggressive move into consumer electronics reflects its determination to
stake out a strong position in the so-called digital home market.

VATICAN TAPS RFID TECHNOLOGY TO TRACK BOOKS
The Vatican Library has tagged about 30,000 of its books with RFID
(radio frequency identification) tags since last year, and says plans call
for tagging 2 million of the 40-million piece collection in the near
future. That would enable the staff to complete the library's annual
inventory in less than a day -- a task that previously forced it to close
for a whole month. Emilia Di Bernardo, VP of Seret, the company that
installed the RFID system, says initially the Vatican staff were interested
only in an efficient inventory process. "But we came up with something that
is not only an inventory but a way to manage the books. This way staff
always know where all the books are." Di Bernardo says it is relatively
inexpensive to maintain the system and the technology does not harm the
books in any way. "The most expensive part is the tags and the hardware."
The RFID tags cost between five and 10 cents each, but Texas Instruments,
which manufactures the tags, anticipates the costs coming down. "It's robust
and as the price comes down, you will see it being used more and more,
including in bus ticketing and concert ticketing," says a TI spokesman.

7-ELEVEN TESTS WIRELESS INVENTORY SYSTEM
Prompted by the example of Wal-Mart, convenience store giant 7-Eleven
is testing a wireless system in 10 Dallas-area stores that enable managers
to scan shelves using a handheld device and instantly order products that
need replenishing. Many retailers already use point-of-sale systems that
deduct sold items from an overall inventory list, but 7-Eleven officials
say the handheld computer takes the process one step further. The device,
made by NEC, features software that helps predict demand for perishable
food -- from sandwiches to milk -- by taking factors such as the weather
forecast into account. Rainy days produce sales slumps, while hot weather
triggers a run on Slurpees. Balancing supply and demand in the margin-thin
world of food stores is critical, according to a 2002 study by Emory
University, which estimated stores lose 4% of potential sales because they
run out of items consumers want. (AP/SiliconValley.com 13 Oct 2004)
<http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/news/editorial/9907516.htm>
[I have personally found out that the stores I go to have more often
been out of what I wanted since the dreaded MBAs [Masters of Business
Administration] have taken over with their "just in time ordering."
The MBAs would apparent prefer to lose that 4%, and the customer-
satisfaction that goes along with it, and thus some friends will NOT
go with me to Wendy's for example, because all too often they are out
of something they want to eat, and there is no time to go elsewhere.
[Why else eat fast food, if you know it might not be there fast?]
I was at Wendy's recently when FIVE CUSTOMERS IN A ROW ordered and
were told they were out of luck. . .they were out of at least five
different things. And when I asked, they told me that for certain
they would not have all five items after the next truck arrived,
because the MBAs had decided to limit how many items they ordered,
no matter how much would fit on the truck. . . . GO FIGURE!"]

LAPTOPS PREPARE STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE, BRIDGE INCOME GAPS
Laptop programs are showing up at a number of high schools around the
United States, including T.C. Williams High School in Washington, D.C.,
which this week issued 2,100 laptops to its students. Technology
literacy is one of the primary goals of such programs, as is ensuring
that students from varying socioeconomic backgrounds have equal access
to such technology. John Crites, head of technical support for the
Alexandria school district, said of the $1.4 million program to supply
all students with laptops, "It gives us the ability to level the
playing field." In an effort to control how the computers are used,
administrators of the program at T.C. Williams configured the school's
laptops to allow Internet access only on school grounds, installed
several Web filters, and elected not to allow instant messaging or
e-mail, though a limited e-mail system may be added later.

[Yes, keeping students from emailing each other or their teachers
is obviously a high priority. . .though this seems to be where a
lot of education takes place. . .though it also includes a lot of
yadda yadda yadda.]

More Headline News Avoided By Most Of The Major U.S. Media
Diebold Coughs Up Cash in Copyright Case
False Accusation of Infringement Results in Hefty Payment
of Legal Fees, Damages
California - The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)
capped its historic victory in a copyright abuse case
against electronic voting machine manufacturer Diebold
today. The corporation agreed to pay $125,000 in damages
and fees. The settlement, a win for free speech advocates,
comes after a California district court found that Diebold
had knowingly misrepresented that online commentators,
including Indymedia and two Swarthmore college students,
had infringed the company's copyrights.
"It makes me happy that students in this situation in the
future won't have to worry about big corporations breathing
down their necks," said Nelson Pavlosky, one of the students.
Diebold is the first company to be held liable for
violating section 512(f) of the Digital Millennium
Copyright Act (DMCA), which makes it unlawful to use DMCA
takedown threats when the copyright holder knows that
infringement has not actually occurred. The section also
stipulates that anyone who issues such frivolous threats
must pay damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, to
those harmed by the misrepresentations.
EFF and the Center for Internet and Society Cyberlaw Clinic
at Stanford Law School sued on behalf of nonprofit Internet
Service Provider (ISP) Online Policy Group (OPG) and the
two students to prevent Diebold's abusive copyright claims
from silencing public debate about voting. Diebold sent
dozens of cease-and-desist letters to ISPs hosting leaked
internal documents revealing flaws in Diebold's e-voting
machines. The company claimed copyright violations and used
the DMCA to demand that the documents be taken down. OPG
refused to remove them in the name of free speech.
"The risk of substantial damages and fees should make
companies pause before sending unfounded copyright
threats," said EFF staff attorney Wendy Seltzer. "Plus ISPs
can fight back against these false claims without taking a
financial hit."
"As a nonprofit ISP it's great to have legal recourse when
a company threatens us or our clients with frivolous lawsuits,"
added OPG Executive Director Will Doherty.
EFF is a member-supported nonprofit which represented OPG
and the Swarthmore students pro bono. Thanks to the
settlement, Diebold will pay the costs of the case.

"Meanwhile, last week was some sort of national holiday in Spain.
In past years there was a US contingent in the military parade,
but it seems that they were left out this year. The French were
invited as substitutes."
"It's Fleet Week here in SF again, and we usually get the Navy's
Blue Angels aerobatics team... this year it was outsourced to the
Canadian Snow Birds ...I can't decide whether it was a deliberate
insult to the Bay Area, or just a sign of astounding lameness..."
"News from your man in Tempe: You already know what happened inside at the
third joint campaign appearance yesterday, and it's a good thing because I
couldn't get anywhere near it. (I just can't call it a blsfrgl ... see, I
can't!) Grady Gammage Auditorium was named for a former ASU president,
designed by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright, and originally intended to
be built as an opera house in Baghdad. (Yes, the one in Iraq. The project
fell through when King Faisal II was murdered by a military coup in 1958.
It was built here in 1959 without the original parking ziggurat.)
"So here's the news from outside. I was amazed at the size and number of
power transformers on the lawn, probably for lights in the circus tents
erected in the parking lot. Hey, you can't have a media circus without
tents! There was also an eight foot (2.4384 m) chain link fence
surrounding the whole shootin' match about where the perimeter of the
ziggurat would have been.
"Traffic was a mess as slightly over one bazillion motorcycle officers
lined every street within bazooka distance of the president's hotel. When
his handlers told him it was time, those same streets were closed. At
least it was during rush hour, to maximize the disruption."
*ODD STATISTICS OF THE WEEK
Crude oil is up 62% this year, while heating oil is up 77%.
Various voter registrations in the U.S. are showing more people
have registered to vote than there are people entitled to vote.
Of course, they are all saying that these are only plain errors
and no one is trying to vote more than once. However, this is
only going to increase, as there are large numbers of brand new
registrations still waiting to be processed, so we can expect a
lot more of these "irregularities and anomalies" to come shortly.
Experts are predicting that the effect of the lack of flu shots
will cause a measurable downturn in productivity in flu season.
[Some are also precdicting a measurable downturn in productivity
in Boston this week due to the fact of having one of the baseball
playoff games run so late that people didn't get to bet until well
after midnight while they have start getting ready to get back in
their seats for the next game only half a day after getting home.]
[Of course these predictions don't always pan out, as when the
big electrical blackouts did NOT result in a higher birth rate
than normal nine months later.]
[More on the flu: about 40,000 people in the U.S. die of the flu
every year, 144,000 are hospitalized. 3,000,000 die each year
from malaria. Nothing on worldwide flu deaths that I can find.]

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.

After hearing two eyewitness accounts of the same accident, you begin to
wonder about history.

===========================================
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
