Coltan : A commentary from Bill Hammack's public radio program
You can listen to this commentary at http://www.engineerguy.com
Recently, I picked up a book about spices, although it was really
a geopolitical history. It focused on a tiny Indonesian island
that became, in the 17th century, a battle ground for the English
and the Dutch, with, of course, the natives caught in the middle.
They all wanted the nutmeg that grew there. In the 17th century,
a man could sell a small sack of nutmeg for enough to build a
large house and then retire there in comfort. The value of nutmeg
came partly because of its rarity, but also because Europeans
thought it had powerful medicinal qualities. So, for two
centuries the English and Dutch battled over the Island,
decimating it in the process.
At first, when I read of these "nutmeg" wars, I thought how
quaint that the European economy should depend on spices from
obscure parts of the world. Yet, by the time I finished the book,
I realized that my own world operates in exactly the same way.
The electronic network that I live in - my computer, cell phone,
and pager - depend on something call Coltan. Spelled C-O-L-T-A-N,
it's as magic to us as nutmeg was to a 17th century European.
Coltan looks like black mud. It's name is a contraction of
columbium and tantalum. And it's that tantalum that's important
to our world. A gray-blue, very hard metal, it's the key element
[in the] called a pinhead capacitor. These electrical devices regulate
the voltage and store energy in cell phones, pagers, and computers.
In the last few years alone, tens of millions of these
tantalum-filled capacitors were manufactured.
Coltan is found in three billion year old soil, like that of the
Rift Valley in Africa, which contains eighty percent of the
world's supply. And, of the eighty percent, the majority is in
the region.
And much like the nutmeg of the 17th century, Coltan has brought
ruin to the Congo. It has made the area attractive to neighboring
countries, and Coltan has been a key force in accelerating the
civil war within the Congo. By some estimates, these
resource-based wars have killed about five million people, and
displaced another ten million or so.
No doubt, some generation after us will evolve past cell phones
and pagers, and will no longer need to run their world with the
tantalum that comes in the magic mud coltan. And, no doubt, they
will look back at the coltan wars and think them as quaint as the
"nutmeg" wars of the 17th century. The message is clear: As we
use our cell phones today, we should remember those nutmeg wars,
and keep a careful eye on how our technological systems affects
the world.
To use George Santayana's aphorism: "Those who cannot remember
the past are condemned to repeat it."

Project Gutenberg Needs DVD Burners
So far we have sent out 7.5 million eBooks via snailmail!!!
We currently have access to a dozen DVD burners. If you have a DVD burner
and are interested in lending a hand, please email Aaron Cannon
<cannona@fireantproductions.com>
We can set you up with images, or snail you these DVDs
for you to copy. You can either snail them directly
to readers whose addresses we can send you, or you can
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.
Please note that we can only use DVDs which are burnt in the dvd-r format,
as we have had some compatibility issues with the dvd+r format.

*** 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 38 weeks of this year, we have produced 2984 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 2000 to produce our FIRST 2984 eBooks!!!
That's 38 WEEKS as Compared to ~30 YEARS!!!
With 13,891 eBooks online as of September 29, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.72 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 $1.04 when we had 9583 eBooks a year ago
Can you imagine ~13,891 books each costing ~$.32 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine ~13,891 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 13,891 eBooks in 33 Years and 02.80 Months We Averaged
418 Per Year [We do nearly that much a month these days!]
34.8 Per Month
1.14 Per Day
At 2984 eBooks Done In The 272 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
11.0 Per Day
76.7 Per Week
339.1 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.

>From NewsScan:
TESTS SHOW CELL PHONES DON'T DISRUPT NAVIGATION SYSTEMS
[For all those who thought it was always just a conspiracy to keep
people on planes out of touch with the rest of the world. . . .]
[BTW, a doctor told me the same thing about the signs in doctor's
offices to turn off cell phones. . .says only the most primitive
phones and medical equipment from decades ago had any interference.]
Recent tests by Airbus and American Airlines/Qualcomm indicate that,
contrary to popular lore, cellular signals do not disrupt airplanes'
navigational systems. The two results were similar for both the CDMA and
GSM cellular technologies, but the Federal Aviation Administration and the
Federal Communications Commission say the tests can't officially be considered
in their review of the rules because they were conducted without government
oversight. The agencies say they are moving ahead with their own tests.

SONY EMBRACES MP3 FORMAT
[Sony learns faster than most. . .perhaps someday these companies
will just totally STOP introducing those silly proprietary formats.]
In a strategic shift, Sony announced it will add support for MP3
files to some of its portable music players, enabling it to compete
directly against rivals such as Apple Computer, whose portable players
support MP3 and other file formats. A Sony spokeswoman says new flash-based
players with both MP3 and Atrac (Sony's proprietary format) playback will
appear as early as this year in Europe, but it's unclear when those players
will hit the shelves in the U.S. (AP/Washington Post 23 Sep 2004)

DOES IM MEAN 'INSTANT MUSIC'?
Yahoo's purchase of Musicmatch last week for $160 million in cash has
raised speculation that it plans to use the acquisition to enable Yahoo
Messenger users to share and interact with one another's digital playlists.
"The whole advantage that (Yahoo) has is using its broad reach to push
products and integrate them," says one source close to the deal. Meanwhile,
Microsoft acknowledges that it's planning to do just that with its MSN
Messenger and MSN Music services. In fact, MSN Messenger has already
quietly begun experimenting with music playlist sharing using a test
application called ThreeDegrees. The strategy gives Web portals a leg up in
their pursuit of the online music market, currently dominated by Apple's
iTunes. And adding more functionality to instant messaging is part of their
master plan to transform IM from a simple chatting tool to a control panel
for multimedia applications. (CNet News.com 22 Sep 2004)

LIVING LIFE WITHOUT A NET
Paid $725 or more for their participation, [a] dozen families in the
Northeast, Midwest and Northwest recently gave up the Internet for two weeks
as part of a study by Yahoo and advertising firm OMD to demonstrate the
emotional connection people have to the Net. The results? One participant
admits, "I didn't realize how tough it would be," and reports that he missed
online news and weather, door-to-door driving directions and e-mail. Some
participants had to rediscover such things as the Yellow Pages, TV,
newspapers and movies. In general, the study found that participants felt
lost and disconnected (both literally and figuratively).

IMAGES BEARING VIRUSES: DO YOU GET THE PICTURE?
Security experts are saying it's possible for network vandals to use a
flaw in Microsoft Windows XP and Server 2003 systems to embed viruses into
digital photos, thereby infecting vulnerable PCs. Marcus Sachs, director of
the SANS Internet Storm Center, warns: "We always said there's no way you
can be infected just by looking at a photograph online, but now it looks
like we may have to eat our words on that. This year we've seen a lot of
changes to the fundamental ways we thought we were secure." Microsoft users
can download the latest patches from the company's Windows Update site.

IBM TAG TEAM
Microsoft will be hiring 1,000 new employees and spending $250 million
over five years to develop a new business unit to support products and
services related to radio tags and sensor networks for inventory management.
Radio tags can be read in groups, hold far more data than bar codes, and
show when and where particular items were made and where they're being
shipped to. They don't need batteries, because they receive enough energy to
communicate from signals sent by the reader. Analysts such as Navi Radjou of
Forrester Research think the challenge for IBM and other companies is to
provide a road map laying out small steps toward deployment of radio-tagging
and other sensor technologies, because "people won't do big-bang
implementations." (New York Times 27 Sep 2004)

GOOGLE OMITS RESULTS FROM SITES BANNED BY CHINA
Google's news service in China omits results from Web sites blocked by
the government, according to Dynamic Internet Technology Inc., a research
firm fighting online censorship. Tests by Dynamic found that Google omits
results from the banned sites when search requests are made through
computers connecting to the Internet in China. Google acknowledges that its
Chinese language service is ignoring results from government-banned sites,
but says it does so in order to make its search engine efficient and to
shield computer users from clicking on links that lead nowhere. A Google
executive says, "Google has decided that in order to create the best
possible search experience for our mainland China users we will not include
sites whose content is not accessible." Forrester Research analyst Charlene
Li sympathizes with the company's predicament: "It's probably killing them
to leave some sites out of its index, but they have probably decided they
are doing greater good by providing access to all these other sites."

iPODS ON THE HIT LIST
They're ubiquitous and have changed the way we listen to music but
iPods are proving to be a high-tech security risk. The Australian Department
of Defense has followed the lead of Britain's Ministry of Defense in banning
the use of iPods -- which have large storage capabilities and can be used to
siphon information from computers -- in specific defense areas. An
Australian government official explains, "The threat from iPods is
considered the same as for all other forms of easily portable storage media.
The use of such media and associated devices, or their presence within
defense areas, is strictly controlled and in some cases prohibited." In
July, Britain's Defense Ministry added the Apple music accessory to a list
of devices banned in most sections of its UK headquarters and offices
abroad. The fear is that devices with large storage capabilities and those
with a USB (universal serial bus) plug can be a useful tool for data
thieves. (The Age 25 Sep 2004) Rec''d from J. Lamp

MICROSOFT SUES SPAMMERS
Microsoft has filed nine new lawsuits against spammers, and is now
involved in more than 100 legal anti-spam cases throughout the world. The
latest lawsuit is against Web hosting company National Online Sales and its
owner Levon Gillespie, who offer "bulletproof" services for those seeking to
send marketing e-mail. Aaron Kornblum, an attorney for Microsoft, says:
"This is the first action against a Web host catering to spammers." His
rationale for the suit is that National Online Sales and Gillespie are
providing "a safe place for spammers to drive customers to."

CONCERN GROWS OVER JPEG FLAW
Some security experts are warning users that a recently announced flaw
in the way some Microsoft applications handle JPEG images could lead to
the next large-scale virus infection. David Perry of anti-virus firm
Trend Micro noted that the combination of several factors has his firm
especially worried about the JPEG flaw. Those factors, Perry said,
include the number of applications that are affected by the flaw--more
than a dozen--and the fact that there has not been a significant virus
attack for some time, which may have the effect of lowering users'
attention to preventive measures. When the flaw was announced, no code
had yet appeared that exploited it. Within the past week, however, such
code has been written and has appeared on a private mailing list and a
public Web site. Perry characterized the current situation as "the
virus equivalent of a harmonic convergence." Others were not as worried
about the threat posed by the flaw. Graham Cluley of anti-virus firm
Sophos noted that so far no malicious code is being delivered using the
flaw. "It is purely being done as a 'proof of concept,'" said Cluley.

NEW SAT ESSAY PORTION FOCUSES MORE ON STYLE THAN CONTENT
Schools and students are flocking to either take the SAT
tests before March to avoid the change to handwriting as
opposed to only content oriented scoring, while those in
a position to only take the test later are practicing on
their handwriting like mad, according to various reports
I have heard and seen regarding the 2005 SAT [Scholastic
Aptitude Test, now owned by College Board testing.]
Decades ago research indicated that a typewritten paper,
this was before the computer age, was much easier for an
academic evaluator to read and grade, and would also get
a higher grade, even though the content was the same.
In 2005 we will apparently be taking a giant step back--
to the days where penmanship was more important than the
ability to type, when the pen was mightier than the PC.
All Things Considered reported on September 27, that the
school system's "New Generation Takes Up Cursive Writing"
and Robert Siegel watched as Bel Air, Maryland, students
went back to the basics of formal handwriting, something
had previously been going the way of the dinosaur as the
computer had become the tool of choice for writing.
Testing on analogies and quantitative comparison are now
being de-emphasized, as are the reading passages, all in
decline in the new 2005 version of the SAT, which vamped
and revamped itself in the last few years, setting up an
alternative new scoring system I reported on earlier.
That scoring system was in response to the fact that the
standarized tests such as the SAT and ACT [The "American
College Testing" brand] scores had finally fallen so far
that this could no longer be ignored.
Of course, the solution was to revamp the scoring, not a
solution to improve the U.S. educational system. [There
have been several comments mentioning that many a recent
winner of national awards has been homeschooled; include
both last year's National Spelling Bee winner and runner
up in that category, not to mention several earlier.]
Without even a single decade to evaluate and refine that
new scoring system, the SATs are already going through a
new face lift that further removes today's scores from a
historical perspective that previously dated to WWII.
To those who say none of "1984" never happened, I submit
that these are merely a few examples out of thousands.
FLORIDA SCHOOLS CLOSED, BUT FOOTBALL IS STILL A PRIORITY
Many students in Florida are still out of school, due to
the effects of recent hurricane damage, but the football
team is still going out for practice, as what has been a
major effort at a "return to normalcy."
RFIDs NOW TRACKING CHILDREN AT THEME PARKS
RFIDs [Radio Frequency IDentification tags] are now used
to keep track of your kids when they go to theme parks--
I guess you can just go to a "lost and found" and see on
the computer screen where they are.
Previous uses have been to keep track of school children
in Japan, public officials in South America, and inmates
in prisons, as well as for the County Dog Catcher to get
a head start on those hard to catch dogs.
This may be the first use not mandated by some officials
of the various government agencies involved, at least as
far as the tracking of living beings is concerned.
Wal-Mart is reported to be putting RFIDs on every single
piece of merchandise in their stores, so watch out if an
item you are carrying gets out of your possession, their
computers may realize this and have someone bring it out
to the checkout counter as you are leaving.
[Speaking of those Japanese school kids. . . .]
JAPANESE KIDS TRACKED BY RADIO CHIPS
[No more saying, "They didn't let me out until an hour ago."]
Some schools in Japan are testing a system in which tiny antennae are
attached to student backpacks or clothes so the students can be traced by
radio. Public school teacher Ichiro Ishihara says, "More than 70 percent of
parents supported the trials, indicating there is wide appreciation for this
kind of effort. And the kids love it -- they think it's cool." There has also
begun the testing in Japan of a system that will allow messages to be sent to
parents' cell phones so they know what time their children left school.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics has published a new survey, which looks
at how Americans spend their time.
See http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/atus.pdf.
"Reading as a primary [leisure] activity varied greatly by age. The
oldest age group [65 and older] averaged an hour of reading per day,
while the youngest [15 to 24] averaged about 8 minutes." The overall
average is .33 hours/day (about 19 minutes) for men, and .40 hours/day
(about 24 minutes) for women.
*ODD STATISTICS OF THE WEEK
TV ADS REDUCED DURING PREMIERES
While I was watching the season premiere of a television show
this week, I noticed something odd. . .no commercials, no ads.
Nothing on that order until 21 minutes into the show, so I did
a little note taking and found the ads to have been placed at:
21 mins
34 mins
45 mins
54 mins
thus giving show viewing segments of:
21 mins
10 mins
8 mins
6 mins
for a total of 45 minutes of show, when the usual time given
for programs has now "Honey, I shrunk the TV shows" down to
only about 40 minutes on the average day. Thus we got 3/4
show and 1/4 commercials during the premiere, and none at
all for the first 1/3+ of the show, rather than the usual
2/3 show and 1/3 commercials.
Yes, we usually get only about 40 minutes of programming
per 60 minutes on the clock.
For those keeping score at home, you might want to try it,
and you will notice that once they have you hooked on the
show, they put in more and more ads as the show goes on.
If you buy any of the old shows, you will notice they have
52 minutes of show and only 8 minutes of commercials. The
commercial breaks used to be 2 minutes long and usually in
two equally spaced segments per half hour show, and those
"stations breaks" really WERE there for your local station
to have a few seconds to identify themselves, let you hear
the beep telling you the exact time, etc.
I did the same note taking process with one of the popular
daytime talk shows, and got 60 ads in one hour, obviously
most of them took less than 30 seconds, or you would not
be able to get much of the show on.
Some shows now even interrupt themselves to give ads for
something happening later in the show. . .and I do NOT
mean ye old technique of saying "NEXT, see this," when
you KNOW whatever it is will definitely NOT BE NEXT!!!
No, I see shows now putting in little previews of parts
of that show that are coming, and I don't mean just the
talk shows, who have some reason to let you know how an
idea is going to be pursued, but I mean sit-coms, etc.
All this puts less and less program and more and more
promotional material on your television.
I admit, that _I_ consider "watch this show later" to
be advertizing, even though the television executives
will try to get them counted in the same slot as some
of the PSA's or Public Service Announcements, which I
notice have now been nearly completely relegated from
normal hours to those times I only watch when I found
sleep to be very elusive.
I won't even go into how I felt the first time I woke
up to advertizing during the previews at the movies--
or various kinds of "product placement," etc.
Even PBS and NPR, which used to have NO advertizing--
only a few seconds of the name of the sponsors in the
whole hour of programming now end their programs five
minutes before the hour, just like the networks we've
always been accustomed to, and fill that time with an
assortment of ads for products, companies and shows--
now I even hear "breaks" in the interview programs in
order to give yet even more time for advertizing on a
show that claims to be "non-commercial."
I wonder what I will do the next time I am invited on
one of those "non-commercial" shows?
Will I insist that there NOT be advertizing connected
with my presence on their programs?

Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 37 weeks of this year, we have produced 2941 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 2000 to produce our FIRST 2941 eBooks!!!
That's 37 WEEKS as Compared to ~30 YEARS!!!
With 13,848 eBooks online as of September 22, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.72 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 $1.05 when we had 9505 eBooks a year ago
Can you imagine ~13,848 books each costing ~$.33 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine ~13,848 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 13,848 eBooks in 33 Years and 02.60 Months We Averaged
417 Per Year [We do nearly that much a month these days!]
34.8 Per Month
1.14 Per Day
At 2941 eBooks Done In The 265 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
11.1 Per Day
79.5 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.

[PG Editor's Comments In Brackets]
>From NewsScan:
MUSIC INDUSTRY SHOULD CHARGE LESS, SELL MORE
The music industry is fighting a losing battle, says Newsweek
columnist Steven Levy, who says the RIAA's legal tactics make about as much
sense as trying to sue a hurricane: "Technology generates its own form of
nature, a set of conditions that enforce an artificial, yet equally
unstoppable, reality~E For the longest time, the labels viewed digital music
as something that could hurt them with hurricane force but made no efforts
to adjust to this new reality, let alone exploit it." Levy notes that Real
Networks' experiment with sharply cutting prices for digital music -- to 49
cents per song -- was a losing proposition because they still owed 70 cents
in royalties for each song sold. But what's impressive is that Real sold
six times as much music and took in three times as much money as when they
had prices pegged at the industry's 99-cent standard. Levy says that if
labels and artists would agree to smaller royalties, everyone could get
richer quicker: "Behind Door One is the money you can make by selling a
million copies of a tune. Behind the other door is the money to be reaped
by selling 6 million copies at half the price. Do the math, guys!" Not only
that, but lowering prices significantly might just stamp out the scourge of
pirated music -- and that's what the labels say they want, right?

STEAL THIS MUSIC
The editors of Wired magazine have compiled a CD whose contents are
meant to be shared, copied, remixed and sampled in an experiment aimed at
supporting the Creative Commons concept of intellectual property licensing.
About 750,000 copies of "The Wired CD: Rip. Sample. Mash. Share" will be
mailed along with Wired's November issue and the disc will also be
distributed to audience members at a benefit concert headlined by David
Byrne, whose "My Fair Lady" appears on the CD. Other artists include the
Beastie Boys, Zap Mama and Gilberto Gil. "The artists were relatively easy
to get on board," says Wired editor-in-chief Chris Anderson. "The labels
have different priorities. Some of them, once briefed, got it, and some of
them never really saw the advantages." Anderson says he approached 50-60
artists in order to come up with the 16 featured on the CD.

PATCH DEALS FAVOR BIG BUSINESS
Microsoft has quietly begun giving some of its largest customers
early warning of what types of security patches it will be releasing.
Under the free program, some customers are receiving three business days'
notice as to how many security fixes Microsoft plans to release in its
regular monthly bulletins, and which Microsoft products are affected.
Customers also can learn how severe a threat the flaws pose several days
before the general public gets that information. Microsoft began testing
the program last year, and expanded it in April. It has not been widely
publicized, and Microsoft has been offering the service to some customers
individually through sales representatives.

FTC OKAYS CASH BOUNTIES FOR SPAMMERS
The Federal Trade Commission has given limited endorsement to the
idea of offering cash rewards to people who help identify spammers, noting
that although technology buffs can often pierce the technical camouflage
used to disguise spam's origins, it's far more difficult to gather the kind
of information that would lead to successful prosecutions. The idea of
offering cash for outing spam-mongers has been around for awhile, but
gained credence last year when Stanford University professor and cyberlaw
expert Lawrence Lessig told Congress he was so confident that such a system
would produce results, he would quit his job if it failed to do so. The FTC
noted in its report that in order to be effective, such a law would need to
concentrate on rewarding whistleblowers and others close to the operation,
and that cash amounts would likely have to be in the $100,000 to $250,000
range -- an amount that Congress would need to fund because it exceeds any
damages likely to be won in court. Meanwhile, the FTC warned against taking
any steps that would divert resources from enforcement efforts. "A poorly
designed reward system would not only fail to achieve its purpose," but also

INTERNET ATTACKS JUMP SIGNIFICANTLY THIS YEAR
The semiannual Internet Security Threat Report, which is based on
monitoring by computer security firm Symantec, indicates that in the first
six months of 2004 there were at least 1,237 newly discovered software
vulnerabilities and almost 5,000 new Windows viruses and worms capable of
compromising computer security. The numbers represent a dramatic increase
over the same period in 2003. Even more troubling was the sharp rise in the
number of "bot," or robot, networks, which comprise a large number of
infected PCs that can then be used to distribute viruses, worms, spyware
and spam to other computers. The survey notes that in the first half of
2004, the number of monitored botnets rose from fewer than 2,000 to more
than 30,000. The botnets, which range in size from 2,000 to 400,000
"zombie" machines, are often "rented out" to commercial spammers who use
them to distribute junk e-mail while concealing their identities.
E-commerce was the industry most frequently targeted for attacks,
accounting for 16% of the total, and report authors note that phishing
scams are responsible for pushing up the numbers in that category. "We're
seeing a professional hand in development that was pretty startling in
terms of malicious code," says Alfred Huger, senior director of engineering
for security response at Symantec. The report's findings mirror those of
recent government-supported research. (New York Times 20 Sep 2004)

SASSER CREATOR HIRED BY SECURITY FIRM
A German teenager accused of creating the Sasser worm that infected
millions of computers around the world is being trained as a security
software programmer, the company that hired him said on Friday.
Eighteen-year-old Sven Jaschan has been taken on by the Securepoint
computer firm based in L|neburg, in northern Germany, and is being trained
to make firewalls to stop suspect files from entering computer systems.
"He has a certain know-how in this field," a company spokesman said.
Jaschan has been charged with computer sabotage, data manipulation and
disruption of public systems for allegedly hatching the Sasser worm.

HACKERS SEEK TO SAVE AMERICA
Jason Larsen types in a few lines of computer code to hack into the
controls of a nearby chemical plant. Then he finds an online video camera
inside and confirms that he has pumped up a pressure value. "It's the
challenge. It's you finding the flaws," he says when asked about his
motivation. "It's you against the defenders. It comes from a deep-seated
need to find out how things work." Larsen, 31, says his goal is not to
wreak havoc, but to boost security for America's pipelines, railways,
utilities and other infrastructure, part of a project backed by the Idaho
National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory. Sponsored by the U.S.
Department of Energy, the Idaho lab launched a new cyber security center
last month where expert hackers such as Larsen test computing
vulnerabilities. Spread across 890 square miles (2305 square km) in a
remote area of eastern Idaho, INEEL gives experts access to an entire
isolated infrastructure such as the one Larsen hacked into. "I don't think
people have an understanding of what could be the impact of cyber attacks,"
says INEEL director Paul Kearns. "They don't understand the threat." In
recent months, U.S. security officials have warned that the nation is not
prepared against cyber terrorism. (The Age, 17 Sep 2004) rec'd from John

AOL OFFERS SECOND LEVEL OF SECURITY
AOL has become the first major U.S. online business to offer customers
a second layer of security, which it will make available to subscribers for
$1.95 a month in addition to a one-time $9.95 fee. The system uses a
matchbook-size device displaying a six-digit log-on code that changes every
minute; it requires that the second password be entered in order to check
e-mail or access such services as calendars, stock portfolios and AOL's Bill
Pay. Gartner analyst Avivah Litan estimates that no more than 5-15% of AOL
subscribers will sign up initially but says that "you have to start
somewhere." (AP/Washington Post 21 Sep 2004)

CELL PHONES TRACK DOWN WI-FI HOTSPOTS
If you're in the U.K. and you're looking for a Wi-Fi hotspot to
download e-mail, you're in luck. A Web site called Totalhotspots.com,
which offers a list of global hotspots, has teamed up with Mobile Commerce,
a phone services company, to enable users to consult the Totalhotspots
directory via cell phone while on the go. The user simply sends a text
message consisting of the word "hotspot" to the 84140 SMS short code number,
and the name, address and telephone number of the nearest Wi-Fi location
will pop up on the screen. "It's like making a directory enquiries call,"
says Mobile Commerce exec Dan Jelfs. Currently, the system works only
with the UK's GSM networks (Vodafone, Orange, O2 and T-Mobile) but
compatibility with future third-generation networks is planned also.

THUMBS UP ON 'THUMB DRIVES'
Thumb drives -- those tiny gizmos also known as USB flash drives,
jump drives or keychain drives -- have been the "must-have" gadget among
techies for the past couple of years, but now they're gaining popularity
among students and business people who are replacing their recordable CDs
used for transferring data from one computer to another. The thumb drives
come in several guises -- Victorinox, maker of Swiss army knives, offers
one squeezed in next to the nail file on its Swissmemory model -- and
memory capacity has risen from an average of 64 megabytes in 2001 to 256
megabytes today. Meanwhile, during the same period prices have dropped from
about $100 to about $40 and a Gartner analyst predicts the stand-alone
versions are getting so cheap they'll soon replace coffee mugs as giveaways
at corporate events. "It's a great low-tech solution. I used to have to
carry a bunch of disks around. I don't have to do that anymore," says one
banking executive. (Wall Street Journal 17 Sep 2004)

CHICAGO'S NEW SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
Chicago is installing a network of surveillance cameras that Mayor
Richard M. Daley has said will make Chicago citizens much safer. Chicago
official Ron Huberman says, "What we're doing is a totally new concept. This
is a very innovative way to harness the power of cameras." Emergency center
dispatchers will be able to tilt or zoom the cameras to watch suspicious
people and follow them from one camera's range to another's. But ACLU
spokesman Edwin C. Yohnka worries: "With the aggressive way these types of
surveillance equipment are being marketed and implemented, it really does
raise questions about what kind of society do we ultimately want, and how
intrusive we want law enforcement officials to be in all of our lives."
Huberman's response: "The value we gain in public safety far outweighs any
perception by the community that this is Big Brother who's watching. The
feedback we're getting is that people welcome this. It makes them feel
safer." And Mayor Daley notes: "We're not inside your home or your business.
The city owns the sidewalks. We own the streets and we own the alleys."

ATTACKS ON WINDOWS MACHINES ON THE RISE
Computer security firm Symantec said that the number of viruses and
worms that target Microsoft's Windows operating system jumped 400
percent in the first six months of the year compared to the same period
last year. In all, nearly 5,000 new Windows viruses and worms were
identified between January and June. Symantec's report echoed a
warning from MessageLabs in August that spammers and computer hackers
were working together to take advantage of weaknesses in the Windows
operating system. According to Alfred Huger, a senior director at
Symantec's Security Response team, hackers are increasingly selling
illicit access to computers to spammers, who are having greater
difficulty getting their messages past e-mail filters.

[A little more about China]
CHINESE ACADEMIC CALLS FOR SITE REOPENING
A law professor at Peking University, He Weifang, has written an open
letter calling on the government to reverse a decision to shut down the
Yita Hutu bulletin board, commonly referred to as YTHT, its Web
address. Last week, government officials ordered that the site be
permanently shut down and quickly afterwards prohibited discussion
about the closure in other online groups. YTHT was created in 1999 by a
graduate student and reportedly grew to comprise more than 700
discussion groups with more than 300,000 registered users. Many of the
topics covered on the YTHT site were banned from state-run media
coverage, including human rights issues and questions about Taiwan. In
his letter, He said the site was "an important source of information
and a channel for discussion for tens of thousands of netizens around
the world, including the teachers and students of our university." Xiao
Qiang, the head of the China Digital News project at the University of
California at Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism, supported the
importance of the YTHT site, calling it "the most politically
provocative online community in Chinese cyberspace."

PHISHING RIFE ON INTERNET
Phishing scams are proliferating on the Internet, and some are
sophisticated enough to fool even seasoned Web users. Phishing scams
use bogus e-mails and Web sites designed to look like those of
legitimate companies to trick users into revealing personal
information, such as credit card numbers, that can then be used in any
number of other crimes. According to the Anti-Phishing Working Group,
Citibank has become the most popular ruse, with nearly 500 separate
scams designed to fool Citibank customers into divulging sensitive
information. Scams directed at Ebay users totaled 285, according to the
group. Lawrence Hefler, vice president of e-business and strategic
alliances at Hilton Grand Vacations and the chairman of the Direct
Marketing Association's Internet committee, was fooled by one of the
fake Citibank messages. As Hefler noted, most of the more deft phishing
scams, including the one he fell for, make a point of talking about
security issues and the potential for identity theft.

UT DALLAS CONCEDES STUDENT ACCESS POINTS
[This article doesn't mention that the student's network was working
better than the university network, and at no direct cost to either
the university or to users. More details available on request.]
Administrators at the University of Texas at Dallas have withdrawn a
policy that banned students from setting up Wi-Fi access points on
campus. The policy was implemented to help deal with interference from
802.11b and 802.11g access points (802.11a access points were not
banned) that some students had set up that were causing interference
with the university's own wireless network. Students who disagreed
with the policy noted that the Federal Communications Commission in
June had issued a statement that supported individuals' right to
operate access points using the Wi-Fi spectrum. University administrators
conducted a review and decided to withdraw the policy because it was
not clear that the university had the authority to enforce it.
According to Steve McGregor, a spokesman for the university,
the growing number of access points is causing interference in some
areas of the campus, but the university will not try to regulate
the access points. "Folks will have to figure it out individually,"
McGregor said.

AOL DROPS MICROSOFT'S ANTISPAM TECHNOLOGY
Following a new rift between Microsoft and the open-source community
over a standard to fight spam, America Online (AOL) decided it will not
adopt Microsoft's Sender ID tool. Sender ID is designed to identify
spoofed return addresses in e-mail, allowing ISPs to reject those
messages. Although Microsoft has said it will not charge royalties on
Sender ID, the software company does hold patents for some of the
technology on which the tool is built. Those patents have led to the
recent dispute between Microsoft and advocates of an open-source
approach to an antispam standard. The Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF) rejected the Sender ID standard, and a statement from AOL
released shortly after that decision said that the company "will now
not be moving forward with full deployment of the Sender ID protocol."
A spokesperson from Microsoft said that despite the IETF's decision,
"It's still going to be one standard, there's just going to be two flavors."

More Headline News Avoided By Most Of The Major U.S. Media
60 Minutes Not Aired In Major Metropolitan Markets In Swing States
The last two Wednesdays, the CBS show 60 Minutes was not aired to many
who would normally be in the audience, and perhaps even more who might
have been tuning in for the latest on President Bush's National Guard
service record.
Various reasons were given by stations from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania
to Nashville, Tennesee, to Ft. Pierce, Florida, according to searches
using "60 Minutes," "pre-empted," and "not aired." These reasons were
listed as being from saying they thought 60 Minutes was going to be a
rerun, to power outages that seemed to last only the hour 60 Minutes
was scheduled to be on the air. More than one station ran a Billy
Graham sponsored movie in place of 60 Minutes, at least one of which
stated that this movie had originally been scheduled weeks ago.
Most or all of the stations said they aired the 60 Minutes program
later around 1AM or 2AM. Many calls and emails to the news media
suggested that these stations did not want to run 60 Minutes until
after they knew what was going to be said in advance, even though
it is strict policy of the news media never to allow anyone to know
this information or the questions that will be raised before the
interviews take place or are aired.
The locations named above were not the only ones missing 60 Minutes.
If you find any others, please advise.
*
At least one of these stations aired Dan Rather's apology three times,
in just over one hour, before, during, and again after the program,
once even before it even aired directly on the CBS Evening News
to their viewers.
*
Further research on the reported scheduling of the Billy Graham movie
reveled that schedules provided to the local media television listings
indicated that 60 Minutes was scheduled to air at its normal time,
even though a station spokesperson indicated the Billy Graham movie
had been on the schedule for several weeks.
It would appear there is still more to this story than is apparent,
but it seems unlikely that we will ever find out the ultimate source[s]
of the information presented by 60 Minutes, and there have been rumors
that Dan Rather may end up stepping down as a result.
*ODD STATISTICS OF THE WEEK
90 Million More Africans In Poverty Now Than In 1950
A highly placed African source has reported that Africa
is worse off now than it was in the last colonial days,
citing that the colonial powers at least invested in an
assortment of fundamental African projects, whereas the
current rulers have taken all the capital OUT of Africa
and invested it with the major world banks or companies
and thus destroyed the African economy by displacing it
from the Third World to the First World.
Additional sources also cite the clear-cutting of their
traditional rain-forest sources of water as causing the
permanent drought in Ethiopia and other countries.

Antarctic Glaciers Now Moving To The Sea 8 Times Faster
World scientists studying satellite photographs of very
new data from areas surrounding the South Pole reported
that the Antarctic ice pack is falling into the ocean a
record 8 times faster than it was just two years ago in
response to the destruction of major ice shelves due to
global warming.
The effects are not only a massive proliferation of the
navigational difficulties due to 8 times as many of the
traditional icebergs, but as far away as Hawaii reports
indicate their world-class beaches are shrinking due to
increased sea-levels and related beach degradation.

Zhores Alferov, who won the Nobel Prize in physics in 2000 for his
work on fast transistors, laser LEDs, and integrated circuits, was
supposed to be addressing a major symposium in Berkeley today, but
is stuck in Russia, after a U.S. consular official could not get a
grasp on Prof. Alferov's work when he asked, and the Vice-President
of the Russian Academy of Science apparently gave an answer that
was beyond the comprehension of the average junior diplomat level,
and couldn't come up with a simple enough description to get his
visa stamped to get on the plane to the United States.

Entire Project Gutenberg Works of Mark Twain:
Thanks to several Project Gutenberg Volunteers
Note: This compilation of all Mark Twain's works published by Project
Gutenberg was first posted three years ago and has been updated with
additions and corrections three times since--this is the fourth and most
extensive. On this renovation the entire 15mb file of 302,000 lines has
been reprocessed using present day PG proofing tools with the correction
of several thousand errors. Additionally, all but a few of the original
individual files have been updated. . .

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)

Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 36 weeks of this year, we have produced 2890 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 2000 to produce our FIRST 2890 eBooks!!!
That's 36 WEEKS as Compared to ~30 YEARS!!!
With 13,801 eBooks online as of September 8, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of ~$0.72 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 $1.06 when we had ~9429 eBooks a year ago
Can you imagine ~13,801 books each costing ~$.34 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine ~13,801 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 13,801 eBooks in 33 Years and 02.20 Months We Averaged About
416 Per Year [We do nearly that much a month these days!]
34.7 Per Month
1.14 Per Day
At 2890 eBooks Done In The 258 Days Of 2004 We Averaged About
11.2 Per Day
78.3 Per Week
352.3 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.

ORACLE AND PEOPLESOFT: LET THE TAKEOVER BEGIN
[Merger Mania Continues! More below in Edupage section]
A federal judge in San Francisco has ruled that the Department of
Justice Department failed to show that Oracle's takeover designs on
PeopleSoft would harm competition and violate antitrust laws. Saying that
the Justice Department used a too-narrow definition of the market for
high-end human resources and payroll software, the judge added that there
would be enough remaining rivals after a merger to assure healthy
competition. The decision is a major victory of Oracle chief executive Larry
Ellison, whose decision to challenge the Justice Department in court was
seen by many analysts as an exercise in futility.

IBM GIVES SPEECH RECOGNITION CODE TO OPEN SOURCE GROUPS
In a shrewd move intended to outmaneuver rivals, IBM is contributing
some of its proprietary speech-recognition software to two open source
groups. One application that handles basic words for dates, time and
locations will go to the Apache Software Foundation, and another that
targets speech-editing will be donated to the Eclipse Foundation. "We're
trying to spur the industry around open standards to get more and more
speech application development," says IBM senior VP Steven Mills. "Our code
contribution is about getting that ecosystem going." The move reflects
IBM's strategy to broaden its software business opportunities by giving
away various pieces of code to open source software developers. IBM has
been an avid support of open-source projects like the Apache Web server and
the Linux operating system and last month it contributed Cloudscape, a
database written in Java, to the Apache Foundation. "This whole speech
world is going in the same direction as the rest of the information
technology industry, and that would drastically reduce the cost of building
speech applications," says one market research analyst.

PRIVACY COMPLAINT AGAINST AIRLINE DISMISSED
Dismissing a complaint filed by the Electronic Privacy Information
Center (EPIC) and the Minnesota ACLU, the Department of Transportation has
ruled that Northwest Airlines did not violate its own privacy policy when it
shared passenger records with the government as part of a secret airline
security project after the terrorist attacks in September 2001. EPIC and the
ACLU had argued that Northwest committed unfair and deceptive trade
practices when it shared the information with the NASA without informing its
customers, but the Transportation Department ruled that the language of the
policy says only that the airline won't sell the information and it did not
address sharing information within the government.

SPYCAM MAY BE WATCHING YOU WORK
If you have a webcam and a microphone on your computer and a broadband
connection to the Internet, a hacker could be watching you from that PC in
your bedroom. Computer security experts are warning that a series of Windows
viruses released to the Internet are capable of taking control of the audio
and video accessories to spy directly on people at home or work. The worm,
dubbed W32/Rbot-GR, is "the equivalent to a Peeping Tom ... peering through
your curtains" says Graham Cluley of Sophos, the British-based anti-virus
company. Worms such as Rbot-GR can be neutralized by any of the several
anti-virus software packages available but these must be regularly updated.
Cluley warns: "If you are not using your webcam, unplug it."

QUANTUM ENCRYPTION
Researchers at Harvard, Boston University, and BBN Technologies are
developing a quantum encryption system that uses light particles called
photons to lock and unlock information. Project scientist John M. Myers from
Harvard says, "It is really a futuristic technology. Its applications are
going to be a lot like the laser and the transistor, in that early people
could not think of all the possible applications and uses of it." Quantum
cryptography is based on the discovery that photons will be changed simply
by observing them; as a result, eavesdropping on the photons (e.g., by
setting up a photo detector to read the code) disrupts them, making the
codes unusable and alerting the network to the snooper. BBN chief scientist
Chip Elliott quips: "This is what every teenager wants: Instant messaging
protected by quantum cryptography. Don't tell my daughter."

IBM TO GO OPEN SOURCE WITH SPEECH RECOGNITION
In an effort to encourage growth in speech-recognition technologies and
to outpace competitor Microsoft for such tools, IBM will contribute
speech-recognition software to two open-source groups, the Apache
Software Foundation and the Eclipse Foundation. IBM said the software
cost about $10 million to develop and that the move is designed "to
spur the industry around open standards to get more and more speech
application development." The announcement is the latest in a series of
decisions by IBM to support open-source groups with donations of
technologies it has developed, including the Cloudscape database. For
its part, Microsoft has developed free tools for building
speech-recognition applications using the company's .Net architecture,
and more than 100,000 developers have reportedly downloaded those tools.

CALIFORNIA JOINS SUIT AGAINST DIEBOLD
The state of California, as well as the state's Alameda County, this
week joined a lawsuit filed by a computer programmer and voting rights
advocate against Diebold Inc. for selling faulty hardware and software
for electronic voting. The original plaintiffs, Jim March and Bev
Harris, are asking the courts to force Diebold to refund all of the
money paid to it for the state's electronic voting machines. Problems
with Diebold's products caused more than half of the polling places in
San Diego County to open late for the state's March primary, and at
least 6,000 voters in Alameda county had to use paper ballots instead
of Diebold's electronic voting machines. Lowell Finley, attorney for
the original plaintiffs in the case, said the decision to join shows
that the "state clearly believes there's merit to the case."
Meanwhile, the state decided not to file criminal charges against
Diebold, a move state voting officials considered after California
Secretary of State Kevin Shelley decertified one Diebold system for
being unreliable and jeopardizing the state's elections.

WI-FI POLICY SPARKS CONTROVERSY AT UT DALLAS
A new policy covering Wi-Fi access points at the University of Texas at
Dallas has led to a standoff between university administrators and
students claiming the right to have their own wireless access points.
The policy forbids students from operating their own access points on
campus because of interference with the university's wireless network,
which is slower than what the students have set up, and because of
security concerns over the unregulated "hot spots." Students argue that
the airwaves for wireless Internet access are available to anyone who
wants to use them. Bill Hargrove, executive director of information
resources at the university, compared the situation to that of a
student who brings a stereo system to campus. The stereo is fine, he
said, "until the point where you turn it up and it bothers your
neighbors." Administrators and students are at an impasse now, with
neither side ready to concede.

ORACLE WINS ANTITRUST CASE
A federal judge has ruled against the Department of Justice in its
attempt to block Oracle's hostile takeover of PeopleSoft. In his
decision, Judge Vaughn Walker said that the government failed to prove
that the merger would lead to less competition and higher prices in the
business software market. Walker said the small and midsize companies
that play a part in the business software market represent a valid
alternative to the big three--Oracle, PeopleSoft, and SAP. Walker
stayed his decision for 10 days to give the Department of Justice an
opportunity to file an appeal if they so choose. The PeopleSoft board
has consistently rejected Oracle's takeover offer, arguing in part
that the merger violated antitrust laws. Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle,
said the court's "decision puts the onus squarely on the board of
PeopleSoft to meet with us." The takeover is still subject to approval
by European regulators.

MICROSOFT DOUBLES GRACE PERIOD FOR SP2 UPDATES
Microsoft this week agreed to extend the term during which customers of
its Automatic Update or Windows Update services can block the automatic
installation of Service Pack 2 (SP2). The company released SP2 in
August to address many security issues with its Windows XP operating
system, but the update may not work properly with certain applications.
Some corporate customers had asked for time to test SP2 and resolve any
conflicts, and Microsoft initially agreed to allow users to block SP2
from their automatic updates for 120 days, after which the service pack
would be installed through the update services. That period has now
been extended to 240 days, starting August 16. At that point, in
mid-April, Microsoft's update services will ignore any users'
instructions not to install the service pack.

More Headline News Avoided By Most Of The Major U.S. Media
POLICE PROTECT THE BURGLARS BUT NOT THE BURLARIZED
A man was reported to have called his local police
when he spotted burglars removing property out his
garage doors. The police responded that they were
not going to be able to respond very soon, as they
didn't have any units in the area.
The man called back a short time later and told an
official representative that there was no longer a
need for a swift response, since he had shot those
who were burglarizing his garage.
A few minutes later a half-dozen police cars and a
helicopter were on the scene and easily rounded up
the alleged burglars who were apparently unharmed.
The police commander is reported to have said: "I
thought you said you had shot them?"
The man is reported to have replied: "I thought
YOU said there were no officers available."
Apparently the police had many more officers there
on call to defend burglars from being shot than to
protect the man who was being burglarized.
LEADING ISP AGREES TO END SERVICE TO SPAMMERS
Under pressure from antispam organization Spamhaus, Savvis, one of the
world's largest ISPs, will stop serving nearly 150 known spammers.
Though not a commonly known name, U.S.-based Savvis serves such
high-profile customers as the New York Stock Exchange and 75 of the
world's largest 100 banks. In January, Savvis bought C&W U.S., which
had 95 spammers among its 3,000 customers. That number grew to 148, and
revenue from those customers rose to $2 million a month, according to
Alif Terranson, a former employee of Savvis. Terranson contacted
Spamhaus after reportedly being told by executives of Savvis that the
company would take no action against those customers found to be
sending spam. Spamhaus, which provides antispam protection by
publishing a list of sites that send spam, persuaded Savvis to end
service of its spamming customers after threatening to block all e-mail
from Savvis. Rob McCormick, the CEO of Savvis, rejected Terranson's
revenue estimate from the spammers and said his company is committed to
working against spam. Steve Linford, operator of Spamhaus, commended
Savvis for its quick decision to cut service to the spammers.

RACIAL PROFILING MOVIE CENSORED BY CITIES WHERE FILMED
An independent documentary movie detailing incidents of racial profiling
by local police is under attack by both city and police officials saying
that the police who appear on film were not given the proper "advise and
consent" procedures before being recorded on film. At present this film
is not being allowed on the local public access channels, and the police
appear to be suing the filmmaker[s] for filming without permission, when
heavy police presence was recorded at establishments frequented by black
members of the community, but recordings at similar establishments white
people gathered at failed to show any police presence.
Additional research yesterday indicated that that the official charges
might be made under an "eavesdropping" law that the police want to say
makes it illegal to record any conversations without permission, even
in a public place by a public official in a public capacity.
The example I was given was that it would thus be illegal to even tape
your kids playing baseball with other kids without permission, which
also included possible taping of comments by fans, bystanders, etc.
*ODD STATISTICS OF THE WEEK
In an Echo Poll in Moscow 93% of Russians said they
did not believe President Vladimir Putin could stop
terrorism after he declared that Russia will strike
terrorists wherever they are in the world.
*
New cellphones are equipped with one inch 1.5G hard
drives, MP3 players, cameras, and 2.2" displays.
*ODD QUOTATION OF THE WEEK
It seemed quite more than strange when some quotes
from the Russian child who escaped the school that
had been taken over took so long to appear.
Once they did appear, they seemed to appear world-
wide, all that the same time, very well translated
and very well spoken for a grade school child just
escaped from an incredibly traumatic incident, [in
all the senses: emotional, mental, physical].

Please note that the Project Gutenberg Production Team continues the
process of manually re-posting those eBooks originally posted prior to

*Nanotechnology : A commentary from Bill Hammack's public radio program
You can listen to this commentary at http://www.engineerguy.com
With nanotechnology engineers manipulate atomic sized particles
to create tiny machines. They'll be able to create, for example,
toothpaste filled with nano-particles that repair damaged teeth,
or pills that are really tiny pacemakers. Although still a young
technology, the National Science Foundation forecasts the U.S.
Market will be one trillion dollars by 2016.
Yet this promise may never be fulfilled, but not for lack of
technological know how or resources: The U.S. Government alone
will pour 3.7 billion dollars into nanotech over the next four
year. But to really thrive a technology needs more than a
scientific side, it must fit into our world socially and legally.
For nanotech storm clouds already loom on the horizon.
For example, Britain's Prince Charles suggested that
nanotechnology could be a disaster like thalidomide - the drug
that caused grotesque birth defects in the 1960s. His remarks
signal to the nanotech community the work yet to be done in
creating a public receptive to their technology.
I suggest they look carefully at two negative role models:
Biotechnology and nuclear power. Nether industry conveyed to the
public the benefit of their product, nor did they listen to
public concerns. In the absence of intelligent dialogue,
heightened concerns grew over the risk, nearly crippling both
industries. Better public engagement could have prevented this
backlash. The public isn't going to accept any technology where
there hasn't been detailed studies of risks and benefits.
Right now the lack of information about nanotechnology invites
alarmist scenarios. The nanotech industry needs to educate the
public about what exactly nanotechnology is, and it needs to
listen carefully to public concerns.
And there are other ways nanotech needs to fit into our world
before being fully accepted - consider legal and regulatory
aspects. The EPA is deciding whether to regulate nano-materials
under the Toxic Substances Control Act, or to classify them as
the naturally occurring "ultra-fine" materials - the same as
dust, forest fire smoke, volcanic ash, bacteria and viruses.
And Patent Examiners are grappling with nanotech. If you use nano
methods to make a tiny motor is that legally any different than a
full-sized motor? In the past a simple change in size hasn't been
patentable absent some other utility or novelty that comes from
To researchers who enjoy conquering the technological problems of
creating a nanotech world, these social, legal and regulatory
concerns may seem like dull things. Yet, some fraction of the
nearly four billion dollars being invested into nanotechnology
needs to be used to answer these questions. If not then these
tiny nano-sized machines will bite back big time.

*** 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 35 weeks of this year, we have produced 2824 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 2000 to produce our FIRST 2824 eBooks!!!
That's 35 WEEKS as Compared to ~30 YEARS!!!
With 13,731 eBooks online as of September 8, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.73 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 $1.07 when we had 9327 eBooks a year ago
Can you imagine ~13,731 books each costing ~$.35 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine ~13,731 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 13,731 eBooks in 33 Years and 02.00 Months We Averaged
414 Per Year [We do nearly that much a month these days!]
34.5 Per Month
1.13 Per Day
At 2824 eBooks Done In The 251 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
11.2 Per Day
80.6 Per Week
353.0 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.

CYBERCAFE LOOKS BACK ON A TEN-YEAR REVOLUTION
Cafe Cyberia opened its doors ten years ago Wednesday in the heart of
London as the brainchild of a Polish psychology student who had the savvy
and foresight to combine coffee and e-mail. Eva Pascoe's cybercafe drew
raves immediately, along with investments from the likes of rock star Mick
Jagger. From the branch on Wiltshire Road, in London's bustling Tottenham
Court Road area, it spawned outlets across Britain and abroad, showing up
even inside Paris' Pompidou Center, the contemporary art museum in the heart
of the French capital. (The Age 3 Sep 2004) Rec'd from J. Lamp

MALAYSIA SEEKS TO BECOME TOP OUTSOURCING CENTER
Malaysia prime minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi says that outsourcing
operations have emerged as one of the largest sectors in Malaysia's
Multimedia Super Corridor, spawning investment of more than one billion
ringgit by 49 companies and some 8,000 new jobs in the special zone south of
Kuala Lumpur. The sector would play a key role in the zone's second phase of
development from 2004 to 2010, creating at least 100,000 new jobs by the end

"INDIAN" OUTSOURCERS COULD BE ANYWHERE
India's back-office service providers have been establishing operations
in other parts of the world: an Infosys subsidiary has opened offices in the
Czech republic and MphasiS BFL's arm MSourcE has created a processing center
in Mexico. Raju Bhatnagar, president of ICICI OneSource, explains: "It is
more from a customer perspective. If the vendor, however reliable, has a
single delivery center, it forces the customer to look for a second vendor
outside India, rather than put all his eggs in one basket. If I can bridge
that gap, I can keep business from going to another vendor."

in Eastern Europe as various countries join NATO and start using Euros]
LABOR SECRETARY DEFENDS OUTSOURCING
In defense of outsourcing, which has been under much attack in this
political year, Labor Secretary Elaine Chao says that companies have created
millions of jobs in the United States, far outpacing the amount of work that
American businesses have shifted abroad. "People talk about it a lot, but
the anxiety belies the numbers." Noting that we live and work in a worldwide
economy, Chao warns: "If we isolate ourselves from this worldwide economy,
we will put in jeopardy the 9 million jobs that Americans currently hold"
in foreign-owned companies. (AP/San Jose Mercury News 2 Sep 2004)

SPY VERSUS SPY: UNBLOCK THAT CALL-BLOCK
A new computerized service from a company called Star38 will allow
callers to create false outbound phone numbers and thereby fool call block
software. Customers of the new service will be able to go to the company's
Web site to enter the number they want to call and the number they want to
appear on the caller ID screen of the recipient's phone. Some privacy-rights
advocates are concerned that angry former spouses, stalkers or fraud artists
could use the service for mischief, but Robert Atkinson of the Institute for
Tele-Information at Columbia University, comments: "Some people see caller
ID as an invasion of their privacy, while others see it as a protection of
their privacy. It's spy versus spy." (New York Times 2 Sep 2004)

FRANCE TELECOM EMPLOYEES PROTEST PRIVATIZATION PLANS
France Telecom employees have protested government plans to privatize
the group, with management characterizing the mobilization as modest and
unions describing it as robust resistance. Company officials say 18.3% of
the workforce heeded a union call for a 24-hour strike, while the SUD-PTT
union claims the figure was 25% and characterizes the response as
"significant." Another union, the CGT, says 30-70% of the workforce went out
on strike, with turnout varying among branches. The strike call followed an
announcement by the government that it will reduce its stake in France
Telecom to below 50%. (The Age 8 Sep 2004) Rec'd from J. Lamp

E-VOTING IN NEVADA
Nevada voters have become the first in the nation to cast ballots in a
statewide election using computers that produced printed paper records of
electronic ballots. "Knock on wood, so far things have been working
flawlessly," said Secretary of State Dean Heller. Nevada's $9.3 million
voting system includes more than 2,600 computers and printers deployed in
every county. The system, developed by California-based Sequoia Voting
Systems, aims to address concerns that paperless touchscreen votes cannot be
properly audited or recounted. "From what I've seen, voters seem to enjoy
the experience," says DeForest B. Soaries Jr., chairman of the U.S. Election
Assistance Commission. "There hasn't been frustration or confusion."(AP/USA

MARYLAND JUDGE OKAYS TOUCH-SCREEN VOTING
[Yes, but it's the UNREASONABLE ones who stuff the ballot boxes.]
Rejecting a challenge to the state's touch-screen voting machines, a
Circuit Court judge in Maryland suggests that the machines are more accurate
than the paper ballots the plaintiffs are seeking to make optional for the
November elections, and notes that election officials have "taken all
reasonable steps to protect the integrity of the voting process." The lead
plaintiff's response is: "I am very disappointed that Maryland voters will
be forced to vote on machines that we believe are illegal under Maryland law
and that are clearly very insecure." In his ruling the judge wrote: "No
system is infallible. No machine is infallible. All experts agree systems
such as these are much more secure and less vulnerable than the paper
ballot" -- or the optical scan machines used in most Maryland jurisdictions
in the last presidential election. (Washington Post 1 Sep 2004)

U.S. COPYRIGHT OFFICE DRAFTS NEW VERSION OF INDUCE ACT
[Right, Fortune 500 companies such as Sony and Apple can do it,
but the little guys face total destruction.]
Responding to strong criticism of the recently introduced Induce Act,
the U.S. Copyright Office has written a revised version of the
legislation. The "discussion draft" offered by the Copyright Office
attempts to shield devices such as Apple's iPod from prosecution for
inducing consumers to commit copyright violations while outlawing
networks such as Kazaa and Morpheus for doing just that. The draft
limits liability to those who "intentionally induce" piracy--a more
stringent definition of wrongdoing than in the original bill. The
Copyright Office's draft has sparked new criticism, however, based on
requirements that ISPs and technology companies must take all
"reasonably available corrective measures" and cannot "actively
interfere" with efforts to locate copyright violators. Sarah Deutsch,
vice president and associate general counsel of Verizon Communications,
noted that the language in the draft is vague and could make an ISP
liable, for example, if it refused to provide copyright holders with a
list of the company's subscribers.

More Headline News Avoided By Most Of The Major U.S. Media
HALLIBURTON OUT OF IRAQ?
Various reports are surfacing from both government and
private sources that Halliburton, Vice-President Cheney's
previous employer, will not renew its Iraq contracts.
Multiple sources indicate that the US Army will terminate
Halliburton's no-bid 9-figure contract, of which some $1.2
billion seems to be unaccounted for, and will finally put
these services up for competitive bidding.
Halliburton is reportedly not even going to prepare a bid,
as the new contracts won't be nearly as profitable, since
they now require the usual bidding system.
Researchers on this story say that even if the bidding is
about the same as what the previous contractors received,
it will still save significant amounts of tax revenues,
since Halliburton doesn't really do the work, but rather
takes a few percent off the top and then sub-contracts
the work to others.
ILLINOIS GOVERNOR LOSES TO BUSH ON CANADIAN PHARMACIES
Interestingly enough, I never heard a word about this
in the Illinois media, though I am sure something has
appeared about this.
Illinois governor Rod Blagoijovich's program to allow
citizens to legally fill prescriptions from Canadian
pharmacies was apparently defeated last week.
I only found out about this because a friend needed
some money to fill a prescription that had apparently
just jumped $65 as a result of lost price competition.
*ODD STATISTICS OF THE WEEK
US LIBRARIES LOSING GROUND?
Early indicators point to a drop in library books checked out.
In several interviews around the country, data is emerging to
show that for the first time in history the number of books
checked out from the average US library has actually dropped
over the last couple years.
1 BILLION CELL PHONE SALES IN 18 MONTHS
If industry analysts are correct, the 18 months surrounding
today, 9 months past and 9 months future, will see nearly a
billion cell phones sold worldwide in just a year and a half.
meanwhile:
1/8 BILLION iTUNES SALES
Apple announced that it has sold 125 million iTunes at $.99.
SIMPLE SOLUTION OF THE WEEK
It would appear that the officials at the Republican National
Convention finally figured out how to keep demonstrators from
sneaking into the convention with unapproved signs or comments:
Across the street they have created a Checkpoint Charlie system,
in which delegates, press, etc., are screened, and then wrapped
in orange plastic fencing before being ushered across the street
into Madison Square Garden inside the orange packaging material.
[However, it would appear this didn't work too well, not only
annoying the authorized personnel, but still not keeping out
various groups that wanted platform changes.]
*ODD QUOTATION OF THE WEEK
"When civilized men can no longer stand the horrors of war,
they will be conquered by uncivilized men who can."

David Widger comments on the re-posted #4975 (Spinifex and Sand, by David W
Carnegie): This is one of the most captivating tales of exploration I have
read in a long time. Direct link to the illustrated html file:

FWIW, and for those of you interested in cooking-related eBooks in the
collection, your editor recommends #13286, The Story of Crisco, by Marion
Harris Neil. It contains a brief introduction to this cooking ingredient
(?), many recipes with more than adequate cooking instructions, along
with menu suggestions, ". . .tested by Domestic Scientists.". Plus an
occasional informational insight, such as: "Peas and beans also contain
sulphur and tend to produce flatulence when indulged in by those of weak
digestion." I, for one, didn't know that it was the sulphur.

If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished!
My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

THE INTERNET CELEBRATES 35TH BIRTHDAY
On September 2, 1969, the first "network connection" was created at
UCLA as test data flowed through a 15 foot cable between computers.
In January, 1970, the experiments had expanded to connect four of
these computer "nodes" as they were called back then, and in 1971
the first transcontinental hookup was established by adding 23 of
these nodes from coast to coast. Project Gutenberg began in that
same year, thus becoming the oldest of what we now call "sites."

***Hot Requests New Sites and Announcements
AUSTRALIA PREPARES FOR 20 YEAR COPYRIGHT EXTENSION
In the wake of various announcements that are probably
precursors to the reversal of the Australian Parliament's
resolution of about three years ago to resist copyright
extensions
It would appear that nothing more is going to enter the
public domain in Australia for the next 20 years in
response to "Free Trade Agreement" pressures from the U.S.
[More possible Australian law changes below in Newsscan]
MACHINE TRANSLATION
We are seeking as much information as possible on the various
approaches to Machine Translation. Any brand names or contact
information would be greatly appreciated.

So far we have sent out 7.5 million eBooks via snailmail!!!
We currently have access to a dozen DVD burners. If you have a DVD burner
and are interested in lending a hand, please email Aaron Cannon
<cannona@fireantproductions.com>
We can set you up with images, or snail you these DVDs
for you to copy. You can either snail them directly
to readers whose addresses we can send you, or you can
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.
Please note that we can only use DVDs which are burnt in the dvd-r format,
as we have had some compatibility issues with the dvd+r format.

*** 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.
***
We also need help proofreading the various FAQ pages at:
gutenberg.net/about
and
Please help review and proofread the Project Gutenberg Consortia Center at
gutenberg.us
If you come across any eBook collections that you would like to see
at the Project Gutenberg Consortia Centers, please let us know.

Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 34 weeks of this year, we have produced 2770 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 2001 to produce our FIRST 2770 eBooks!!!
That's 34 WEEKS as Compared to ~30 YEARS!!!
With 13,677 eBooks online as of September 1, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.73 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is about 1.5% of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $1.09 when we had 9149 eBooks a year ago
Can you imagine ~13,677 books each costing ~$.36 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine ~13,677 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 13,677 eBooks in 33 Years and 01.75 Months We Averaged
412.9 Per Year [We add nearly that much per month these days!]
34.4 Per Month
1.13 Per Day
At 2770 eBooks Done In The 244 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
11.4 Per Day
79.5 Per Week
355.5 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.

CUSTOM DESIGN ONLINE
eMachineShop.com is giving tinkerers a new tool for designing and
making their own creations -- its free design software not only tells
customers whether a design can be made, but also provides a cost estimate.
If the customer decides he or she wants to go ahead with the project, the
design goes to a real-world machine shop for manufacturing. eMachineShop is
the brainchild of Jim Lewis, a programmer and self-professed "tinkerer."
(One claim to fame -- "the world's hardest sliding block puzzle.")
Do-it-yourself types have used the eMachineShop process to manufacture more
than 1,000 orders for things like door signs, motorcycle seats, robot
frames, car engine covers, guitar plates and camera parts. "Being able to
sit at your home computer, draw up some parts, submit them and 30 days
later they are on your doorstep, all without human contact, is
mind-blowing," says hobbyist Dennis Vegh. Lewis's next project? An
application called Pad2Pad that focuses on electronics components. Lewis
plans to take the design process beyond machine parts to the custom
manufacture of printed circuit boards, including components like resistors,
capacitors and chips. "My dream is essentially to become the Amazon in the
manufacturing segment," says Lewis. (AP/CNN.com 26 Aug 2004)

MICROSOFT ORDERED TO YANK LINUX COMPARISON AD
Britain's Advertising Standards Authority has ordered Microsoft to
pull a print ad that includes a comparison of the total cost of Linux and
Windows. In the ad, Microsoft claims Linux is 10 times more expensive than
Windows Server 2003, but ASA has questioned Microsoft's math, noting that
the tests on which it was based involved running the two operating systems
on different hardware. While Microsoft ran Linux on an IBM z900 mainframe
(which is more expensive and underperforms the rest of its line), it ran
its own software on cheaper, faster 900MHz Xeon machines. The ASA concluded
that the ad was misleading because it implied that the comparison was
between the two operating systems only. (InternetNews.com 26 Aug 2004)

DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING TARGETS DRUG DESIGN
A global network of more than 150,000 home PCs called Folding@Home is
helping Stanford University professor Vijay Pande identify potential drug
compounds. The computers donate their spare computing power to run Pande's
algorithms, which are designed to accurately predict how well molecules
will bind to a given protein. "For almost 20 years, people have been
talking about doing drug design computationally, but the real challenge has
been getting sufficient accuracy. Our main goal was to come up with methods
to really push that accuracy to the point at which our methods are
pharmaceutically useful." Pande predicts his methodology may be used to
design new classes of antibiotics or speed up treatments for Alzheimer's
disease. "One way to think of Folding@Home is as a time machine where we
can do the sort of computational work now that would be very easy for any
researcher to do in perhaps 10 years. And we can develop these methods and
test them now," says Pande. (Science News Daily 26 Aug 2004)

FIRM TARGETS TEEN PC MARKET
Digital Lifestyles Group is marketing a teen-friendly PC called the
hip-e aimed at cornering the infamously fickle teenage technology market.
The idea for hip-e grew out of Digital Lifestyle CEO Kent Savage's
conversations with his 16-year-old son and his friends. After a series of
informal focus groups, the boys were asked to draw up their designs for the
ideal PC. Digital Lifestyles came back with 20 product concepts, which
eventually were winnowed down to one. The hip-e is designed to serve as the
hub for all of a teenager's digital interactions, and comes with a
120-gigabyte hard drive, plus Wi-Fi accessibility, a TV tuner and
connections for videogame consoles. Speakers attached to the bottom of the
PC's stand are removable and can be turned into a portable "beatbox." For
$200 extra, the hip-e comes with an MP3 player/keychain data storage drive
and/or a cell phone that can be synched with data on the computer. The
interface is simplified -- users click on "paper" to launch Microsoft Word
and "burn CD" to open a CD-copying program -- and the 17-inch desktop
display features a "hangout tuner" that enables users to jump around
between applications categories, such as music, movies, games, photos,
communications, shopping, etc. Savage says teenagers generally don't like
performing separate searches for various programs, so "it made sense to
organize it for them and serve it up to them. I think what Apple did with
iTunes and the iPod is great. But that's just one application. We are doing
that -- on steroids. It's all of these applications, all on one platform."

U.S. LARGEST EXPORTER OF SPAM
The United States is the largest global source of spam, producing
more than two of every five messages, a report by security firm Sophos
shows. Sophos found about 43% of all spam originated in the United States.
The next largest source was South Korea, with 15%, and China and Hong Kong,
accounting for a combined 12% per cent. The report suggests that a U.S. law
known as CAN-SPAM that took effect in January has done little to curb the
flood on unwanted messages that some see as a threat to the Internet. Chris
Kraft, senior security analyst at Sophos, says the results indicate little
overall change from a similar survey in February for the United States.

IMAC REDUX
Apple has used the 2004 Expo in Paris to introduce its new iMac,
featuring the faster G5 processors currently used in Apple's top-end Power
Macs. The new iMac is packaged in an all-in-one unit that resembles a
flat-panel monitor but which has a processor and other components hidden
behind the screen. The side of the panel has slots for CDs or DVDs to be
loaded vertically. Apple executive Phil Schiller says, "A lot of people are
going to be asking where did the computer go? It's around here somewhere and
I just can't find it." The new iMac will be priced at $1,299 in the United
States. (AP/San Jose Mercury News 31 Aug 2004

PRIVACY CONCERN OVER AUSTRALIAN E-MAIL LAW
Civil libertarians say that a proposed Australian law could allow
authorities easy access to private, stored e-mails without a warrant, giving
many new government bodies to access private e-mails, voicemail messages and
SMS messages. Under current laws, unopened e-mails can only be accessed if
they involve serious crime and only with a telecommunications intercept
warrant. If the bill is passed authorities would need only a search warrant,
or in some cases no warrant at all, according to online civil liberties
group Electronic Frontiers Australia (EFA). (The Australian 30 Aug 2004)

ACLU DENIES MISCHIEF IN POSTING OF DELEGATE DATA
The Secret Service is investigating the posting on a Web site operated
by an organization called the Independent Media Center of the personal
information of delegates to the Republication National Convention in New
York. The Center describes its activities as "passionate tellings of the
truth." The Secret Service, however, is concerned that posting of the
delegate data could subject the delegates to harassment, acts of violence or
identity theft. The American Civil Liberties Union is representing the
Independent Media Center, and the ACLU's Ann Beeson says: "This type of
investigation is really a form of intimidation and a message to activists
that they will pay a price for speaking out. The posting of publicly
available information about people who are in the news should not trigger an
investigation." (AP/USA Today 31 Aug 2004)

LINUX MAKING MAJOR INROADS IN BUSINESS
A new Yankee Group survey shows that 36% of businesses plan to have
at least a few Linux PCs within the next two years and 5% expect to switch
over completely. Twenty-one percent propose adding Linux servers to their
predominantly Windows environment and 11% plan to move to a Linux-only
server setup. "All of the firms would like to reduce the amount of upfront
capital expenditure dollars they spend on expensive Windows and Unix
software licenses," according to the report. "However, they also recognize
that in certain instances, a wholesale or significant switch to Linux might
reduce upfront costs but result in higher overall costs." One potential
deterrent is the scarcity of Linux personnel, says the report: "The
establishments that have or are seriously considering Linux bemoaned the
present dearth and high cost of skilled Linux administrators, even as they
praised the open-source operating system's ease of use." (San Francisco

BROWSING THE WEB AS A LIBRARY
Marti Hearst, a professor at the School of Information Management and
Systems at the University of California, Berkeley, has developed a
prototype search program designed to turn Web searches into something
that approximates browsing the stacks of a library. The Flamenco search
tool uses descriptions of archived items--in Hearst's tests, 35,000
images from an art collection--to display items grouped by criteria
such as artist, period, medium, and subject. Users searching for
representations of flowers in the 18th century, for example, could see
results grouped by decade or by variety of flower. Flamenco can show
groups of results that include paintings and sculptures of irises, or
paintings of irises and roses. Hearst said the tool allows users to
"compare and contrast, discovering new categories and relationships."
Bruce Horn of Ingenuity Software is working on a tool that would allow
a similar type of browsing on a computer, helping users find relevant
resources that might be distributed in many places around a hard drive.

REALNETWORKS WAGES PRICE WAR, TARGETS APPLE
Making reference to the old joke about "losing money on each sale and
making it up on volume," RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser said his company
will offer songs from its RealPlayer Music Store for a limited time at
half price, including songs that play on Apple Computer's iPod
portable music player. The drop in price will reportedly widen the
company's loss for the current quarter. RealNetworks recently unveiled
a new version of its music software that allows users to play songs on
the iPod despite objections from Apple, which is considering legal
action against RealNetworks and said it will likely revise the iPod to
prevent playing songs from RealNetworks. Glaser has long argued against
"closed" formats for music and believes that, despite the short-term
cost to his company, the half-price promotion will ultimately benefit
the market for digital music.

UNIVERSITIES TO DEVELOP OPEN SOURCE FINANCIAL SOFTWARE
Indiana University (IU) and the University of Hawaii have begun work on
a project called Kuali to build open-source financial-system software
for colleges and universities. Organizers of the project said that
steep prices for commercial systems--as well as ongoing concern over
potential consolidation of the market, which could lead to even higher
prices for systems not specifically tailored for the higher education
market--are the major factors driving the project. Kuali will be an
expansion of a homegrown financial system developed by IU and currently
in use at its eight campuses. The National Association of College and
University Business Officers (NACUBO) will provide support and advice,
though no funding, for the project. In a NACUBO survey last fall,
nearly half of the respondents said open source was a viable option for
financial systems. Also partnering on the project will be a company
called RSmart Group. Although the software will be free to install, as
with any open-source project, RSmart hopes to sell support services to
colleges and universities that opt for Kuali.

DNA ANALYSIS USED TO FIGHT SPAM
Researchers at IBM's TJ Watson Research Center have modified an
algorithm--originally created to discern patterns in protein
sequencing--to serve as a spam filter. The algorithm, named Chung-Kwei
after a Feng Shui character, analyzes e-mail, looking for patterns of
letters that exist in spam but not in legitimate messages. Because of
the amount of spam in circulation today, the researchers have an
abundance of spam e-mail to feed to the algorithm to train it to
identify those strings of characters that indicate a message is spam.
Chung-Kwei is able to process 88,000 messages in about 15 minutes, said
the researchers, and will continue to "learn" as more e-mail arrives.
The tool is able, for example, to identify e-mails that have "S"
replaced with "$" as spam. Researchers said Chung-Kwei is able to
successfully detect nearly 97 percent of spam.

More Headline News Avoided By Most Of The Major U.S. Media
[Yet More oddness from the International Olympic Committee]
IOC NIXES BLOGGING BY ATHLETES
The International Olympic Committee has barred competitors, coaches,
and support personnel at the Olympic games from writing firsthand accounts
for news and other Web sites. Its position is that athletes and their
coaches should not serve as journalists and that the interests of accredited
media come first. The editor of Duke University's alumni publication says:
"This is unfathomable to me. I don't understand what the International
Olympic Committee might be concerned about. It's a way to engage a wide
audience with reporting from the field and therefore generate excitement and
interest in the games. This is a means to personalize the Olympics, to
excite a constituency with the thrill that comes with the knowledge that a
couple of their own are participants in the competition." The IOC isn't
buying it. (San Jose Mercury News 19 Aug 2004)

A little about the medal count:
75 of the 202 competing nations won medals,
12 of them won a single medal, with Israel
winning its first and Iraq coming oh so close.
Total
Country Medals Gold
US 103 35
China 63 32
Russia 92 27
Prediction, next time China will do even better.
On a per captita basis, this would be the ranking:
1. Bahamas
2. Australia
3. New Zealand
4. Greece

*ODD STATISTICS OF THE WEEK
US MEDIAN NATIONAL INCOME CONTINUES TO FALL THIRD STRAIGHT YEAR
The US Census Bureau announced this week the median household
income fell again between 2002 and 2003 as they continue to
digest more data coming in on this subject. More below.
POVERTY UP AND HEALTH CARE DOWN IN THE UNITED STATES
Poverty in the US increased last year to 36 million people,
providing about 7 people above the poverty line for each one
living in poverty, as the poverty rate reached 12.5% of the
households in the United States with incomes below $18,850,
which is less than half the median national income of $43,318
for households [2003].
Today's figure "represents a relatively large jump, for a number
that doesnt move that much" in most circumstances, according to
Heather Boushey, of the Center for Economic and Policy Research.
These household incomes are really less than than it appears,
as government assistance checks are usually counted as income.
12.9 million of those living in poverty in the US are children,
according to these reports.
THE RICH GET RICHER WHILE THE POOR GET POORER
The numbers also showed that that the opposite end of the spectrum
continued to see esclating earnings:
"We see that the top has been pulling away," Ms. Boushey added.
Women continued to make about 75% as much as men.
HEALTH CARE ALSO IN DECLINE
Meanwhile, the number of people without health care also
increased dramatically over the same period, to 45 million,
meaning that for every 5 US people with health care, there is
one person without. The is because the US health care industry
is the only such industry in the industrial world without a
universal health care program.
90 OF JOB SEARCHES FILLED WITH INSIDERS
90% of all job searches are filled with someone who already had
an inside track with the employers or interviewers before those
jobs are even announced to the public.

=============================================================================
FWIW, and for those of you interested in cooking-related eBooks in the
collection, your editor recommends #13286, The Story of Crisco, by Marion
Harris Neil. It contains a brief introduction to this cooking ingredient
(?), many recipes with more than adequate cooking instructions, along
with menu suggestions, ". . .tested by Domestic Scientists.". Plus an
occasional informational insight, such as: "Peas and beans also contain
sulphur and tend to produce flatulence when indulged in by those of weak
digestion." I, for one, did not know that it was the sulphur.
