would appreciate help proofreading them over the next few months.
We've added some new FAQs and generally updated information
about Project Gutenberg. Take a look, and email Michael or
Greg with any suggestions or corrections. We'll have these
updated from time to time, now that we've passed #10,000.
A new set of these will be in the works when we pass #20,000.

Project Gutenberg Needs DVD Burners
So far we have sent out 2.5 million eBooks via snailmail!
We currently have access to a dozen DVD burners. If you have
a DVD burner or know someone with one, please email Aaron:
cannona@fireantproductions.com
We can set you up with images, or snail you these DVDs
for you to copy. You can either snail them to readers
whose addresses we can send you, or you can do a stack
of the these and send the whole box back for reshipping
to individual addresses.
We can also send you blank discs in quantities of 50-100
and *perhaps* also provide envelopes, sleeves, etc.
We also have many volunteers who only have time to do one
DVD per day and mail it out. These are greatly appreciated.
There is no need to do a lot per person if we have a lot of
people working on this.

*** 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 you project you would like to work on.

Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 31 weeks of this year, we have produced 2577 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 1999 to produce our FIRST 2577 eBooks!!!
That's 31 WEEKS as Compared to ~30 YEARS!!!
With 13,484 eBooks online as of August 11, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.74 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is only about 1.5% of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $1.12 when we had 8861 eBooks a year Ago
Can you imagine ~13,484 books each costing ~$.38 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine ~13,484 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 13,484 eBooks in 33 Years and 01.25 Months We Averaged
407 Per Year [We do nearly that much a month these days!]
34.0 Per Month
1.12 Per Day
At 2577 eBooks Done In The 223 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
12 Per Day
83 Per Week
369 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.

[In two somewhat related stories this week, the U.S. goverment
refuses to give equal protection on wired and wireless phones.]
FCC SUPPORTS CALEA FOR INTERNET PHONE CARRIERS
[They don't want to stop tapping your wireless phones without warrants.]
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) responded to
law-enforcement concerns by suggesting that Internet-based telephone
services should be subject to laws that permit the government to
monitor landline telephone conversations. Discussion of the proposed
rule was the first formal step by the FCC to hold Internet phone
carriers to the same requirements as traditional phone companies, as
specified in the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act
(CALEA). Industry executives who have supported law-enforcement efforts
nonetheless fear the new rules could be too expensive and too difficult
to apply to Internet phone services without impeding technological progress.

FCC MOVES TO PROTECT WIRELESS DEVICES FROM SPAM
[So Why Can't They Do This For The Internet???]
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is issuing new rules
prohibiting marketers from sending commercial electronic messages to
wireless technology users who haven't given them explicit permission to do
so. The agency is also urging the industry to develop technologies to
prevent spam from overwhelming wireless devices the way it now bedevils the
Internet. FCC chairman Michael K. Powell says, "By prohibiting all
commercial messages to wireless phones and PDAs absent affirmative consent
from the consumer, Americans can now use their wireless devices freely,
without being bothered by unwanted and annoying messages."

FCC RULES TO STOP SPAM ON CELL PHONES, PDAS
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued rules requiring
marketers to obtain explicit permission from wireless-device users
before sending commercial e-mail. The rule is an attempt to prevent
cell phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) from becoming
subject to massive e-mail spam. The FCC also urged the industry to
develop technologies to prevent spam. The rule does not apply to services
that forward existing computer e-mail messages to wireless devices or
permit the devices to connect to a computer-based mail account.

U.S. TO IMPLANT ID TAGS IN PASSPORTS
The U.S. State Department plans to implant electronic ID chips in U.S.
passports to allow computer face-recognition systems to match facial
characteristics of the digital passport photo on the chip against a
photo taken at the passport control station and against photos on
government watch lists. The change is planned despite warnings that
face-recognition technology has a high error rate. Critics suggest
using fingerprint identification instead, as a more reliable
technology. The new passports are scheduled to enter use in 2005.

U.K. PROHIBITS SMILING FACES ON PASSPORTS
The U.K. Home Office ruled that all new passport photos must show an
unsmiling face with closed mouth because open mouths can confuse facial
recognition systems. The new guidelines require good contrast between
the face and background; the full face looking straight at the camera;
no shadows; and a neutral facial expression. The rules will apply
immediately to new and replacement passports.

DECLINING NUMBERS OF COMPUTER SCIENCE MAJORS
The Computing Research Association says that the number of newly declared
computer science and computer engineering majors in the U.S. and Canada
fell last year 23% from the year before. The explanation is fairly straight-
forward: since the dot-com bust a computer science degree no longer
seems the key to instant riches. But Peter Lee, an associate dean of
computer science at Carnegie Mellon University, is unworried by the falloff
in applications: he thinks today's students are often of higher quality,
because they're motivated not by money but by love of technology.

THE UTILITY OF HIGH-SPEED ACCESS
In some U.S. public housing developments residents can tap into shared
broadband networks for less than $15 a month -- much less than the cost of
individual high-speed accounts. According to Rey Ramsey, CEO of the
nonprofit One Economy Corp. in Philadelphia, "the real issue was trying to
get access in the home where it's convenient. If the library or learning
center closes at 6 and you don't get off work until 8, that's not real
access." Robert Wendel, a former Cisco engineer working to provide access to
housing complexes, points out: "In the early days, a lot of low-income
housing didn't have washer-dryer hookups, either"; he predicts: "Eventually,
all new houses will be wired this way." (Washington Post 8 Aug 2004)

APPLE ACCUSED IN FRANCE OF UNFAIR PLAY
Online music retailer Virgin Mega has lodged a complaint with the
French Competition Council charging that Apple Computer has "wrongfully
refused" to license its Fairplay copy-protection technology and open up the
iPod portable music player to rivals. Apple uses to the Fairplay technology
to prevent unlimited copying of songs and to restrict other online music
providers from making their secure song files transferrable to the iPod.

SONY VS. APPLE, TRA-LA, TRA-LA
Sony, the electronics giant that developed the legendary Walkman
personal stereo, is launching a new version meant to capture the Apple's
iPod's current position as today's leading digital music player. Called the
Network Walkman NW-HD1, the device uses a proprietary file format, works
only on a Windows PC, and will cost $100 more than an iPod when it's
released later this month. Technology analyst Matthew Fordahl of the
Associated Press says the Sony's software doesn't rise to the level of the
hardware and adds, "Sony's format does produce good sound quality while
taking up less space, but users aren't given a choice. What happens if the
unique ATRAC format is abandoned? Just ask anyone who bought a technically
superior Betamax VCR instead of a VHS model." (AP/USA Today 5 Aug 2004)

WINDOWS ON A BUDGET
[The quote at the bottom of this one is a riot!]
Microsoft has created less-expensive versions of its Windows XP
operating system to Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, and is developing
similar programs in two other countries. The widespread interest in the
Linux operating system has helped focus Microsoft's attention on the need
for seriously competitive pricing strategies throughout the world. Deepak
Phatak, a professor at the Indian Institute of Technology, says that India
is exploring programs to distribute low-cost PCs using Linux but that it
could be tempted by lower new prices from Microsoft:
"People in the government will never play a technology-favorites game.
They want to see value for money." (Wall Street Journal 11 Aug 2004)

IBM DONATES SOFTWARE TO OPEN-SOURCE GROUP
IBM will provide more than half a million lines of its software code
for the Cloudscape database to open-source software group the Apache
Software Foundation. The company's goal reportedly is to make it
easier for software developers to write applications in the Java
programming language. IBM is a leading supporter of Java, originally
developed by Sun Microsystems. The IBM software platform WebSphere runs
and manages such Java-based applications, competing with Microsoft's
Net platform, written in C++.

NUMBER OF COMPUTER SCIENCE MAJORS FALLS
Despite the improving outlook for the high-tech sector of the economy,
enrollment in most computer science programs at U.S. institutions
continues to decline, causing some to worry about the possibility of a
high-tech workforce shortage in coming years. Schools such as San Jose
State University, the University of Texas at Austin, and Ohio State
University have seen lower computer science enrollments, and according
to the Computing Research Association, enrollment is down by 23 percent
in the United States and Canada. Peter Lee of Carnegie Mellon pointed
out, however, that far fewer applications were received this year
versus last for his institution's computer science program but that
they were generally from more qualified applicants. No longer are
students applying, said Lee, because they are simply lured by the
prospect of high-paying jobs and stock options. Others noted that
enrollments in graduate computer science programs, which remain strong,
may soon begin to suffer due to increased restrictions on foreign
students, who represent 43 percent of students in graduate computer
science programs in the United States and Canada.

STEALTH WALLPAPER PROTECTS WI-FI NETWORKS
British firm BAE Systems has developed a type of wallpaper that
prevents stealth users from connecting to a company's unprotected
Wi-Fi network while still allowing cell phones and other desirable
signals to pass through. Wi-Fi networks are a boon to companies that
want to set up inexpensive wireless access within their buildings, but
many such networks are installed without adequate security to prevent
roaming hackers from easily connecting to networks and gaining access
behind a company's firewall. BAE's wallpaper is made from a sheet of
kapton plastic with copper on both sides in patterns of crosses. The
particular placement of the copper crosses determines which frequencies
are able to pass through and which are blocked. The company is working
on a transparent version of the technology to be used on windows.

ODD GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS OF THE WEEK
ALA WELCOMES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE DECISION TO RESCIND DESTRUCTION REQUEST
WASHINGTON, DC - The American Library Association (ALA) today welcomed the
Department of Justice's decision to rescind its request that the Government
Printing Office Superintendent of Documents instruct depository libraries to
destroy all copies of five Department of Justice publications addressing
forfeiture. The Justice Department claimed that the documents are
"training materials and other materials that the Department of Justice staff
did not feel were appropriate for external use." ALA disagreed with this
categorization of the public documents, two of which are texts of federal
statutes, and with the instruction to destroy them. ALA trusts that there
will be no repetition of such unjustified instructions to destroy government
information...as below:
"The office's one-paragraph directive listed the five pamphlets, with
titles such as "Civil and Criminal Forfeiture Procedure" and "Select
Federal Assets Forfeiture Statutes," and instructed librarians to
"withdraw these materials immediately and destroy all copies by any means
to prevent disclosure of their content," according to a copy of the e-mail
sent to the Boston Public Library and all other depository libraries.
[Which would have limited access to this information to lawyers.
Apparently they didn't want the public to know just what rights did and
did not exist during federal forfeiture cases.]
"Calls to the Government Printing Office seeking comment were not returned."

estroy_us_pamphlets/
*
On a more local note, our county just instituted a tax on cats,
which requires registration, shots, etc., and limits household
animals to three [some of this is word of mouth, and I'm not
sure if it counts animals that live in cages, such as birds,
gerbils, hamsters, etc.]
*
And with national ramifications:
"The Republicans will have to go to a federal judge and get a
declaratory judgment to get Bush on the ballot," said Kris Kray,
the official legislative liaison for the Illinois election board,
answering questions about the Republican policy of having their
convention unusually late to allow for more fundraising time.
When the Democrats announced they were also considering having
their convention late the Republicans complained furiously,
stating it was simply for political fundraising purposes.
There were similar problems in several states.
*
Not quite on the level of odd govermental regulations,
but the Washington Press Corps, in a city that is has
twice as many blacks as whites, is perhaps the most
segregated major institution in the country. Hardly
any black or Latino reporters get to interview candidates.
District of Columbia statistics:
Black: 343,312 (60.0%)
White: 176,101 (30.8%)
2000 Census population: 572,059
[Prompted by several mentions of this outside our major
media covering the U.S. national political conventions.]
SIMPLE SOLUTION OF THE WEEK
Convicted criminals must repay for the their own crimes, along with
those of all the unconvicted criminals, thus making the convicted
pay for the unconvicted and saving all government judicial expense,
since they have to pay for court costs, as well. Perhaps even make
them pay for the salaries of the police.
Thus crime will become a "zero sum game" for the criminals, as well
as for everyone else.
***
ODD STATISTICS OF THE WEEK
The current head of OPEC [the Organization of Petroleum EXPORTing
Countries] is Indonesia, which is a net oil IMPORTing country now.
*
It costs $67 per day to keep a person in jail.
The U.S. has the highest percentage of it's population in jail,
or on parole or probation.
The U.S. and nearly every one of the individual states, spend
more money on prisons than on education, and the prison budget
continues to increase while educations budgets fall behind.
It costs only about 10% as much to keep them on an "RFID" leash
working from a GPS that keeps track of where they are and warns
if they enter "forbidden zones."
*
According to 60 Minutes, 80% of all counterfeit products are made
in China, where perhap 15-20% of brand name products are knockoffs.
[When I lived near China, you couldn't buy ANY products I know of
that were not copies, and there was no effort to disguise copying.
This also happens in other Third World countries, but not to the
same extent, or so rapidly. Around the Pacific Rim products are
usually available as counterfeits within a week of release. The
prices are usually $1 for music [price hasn't changed in decades,
it's just a nominal price] and sometimes under 10% of the face
value of the real products.]
*
Another note on China: Local residents say that when everyone
was poor, nearly everyone was honest, but the addition of money
has created an ethical situation of "Man eat man."
[Warning: After keeping notes on China's industrial revolution
for quite some time, I found it odd to find several reports of
this sort of negativity release at the same time.]
*
A note on statistics in general: I have noticed, even in years
without major elections, that a huge amount of the "information"
we received from Dan Rather, Peter Jennings and Tom Brokaw is a
direct quotation from press releases, much of which are provided
by politicians to support their own positions.
*
One more note, I have spent a great deal of time studying how to
see through this kind of statistical manipulation.

ODD QUOTATION OF THE WEEK
Hummer vs. Hybrid debate
[Relayed from the BBC]
"The government credits you up to $100,000 in taxes for vehicles
weighing over 6000 lbs? Versus $1,500 for hybrids?"
[BTW, many of these news stories come to us from overseas,
as our local media mostly refuses to deal with them at all.]

http://gutenberg.net/find.shtml
which allows searching by title, author or eBook number; there is also
an Advanced Search page which allows for additional search criteria
(note that our newer postings may not yet be indexed for all additional
criteria). And please note: you can now obtain a listing by language

*Hot Topics: Bill Hammack, The Engineering Guy
RFID : A commentary from Bill Hammack's public radio program
You can listen to this commentary at http://www.engineerguy.com
Wal-Mart keeps track of its inventory using something called an
RFID chip. This small microchip allows products to be recorded
automatically by a radio receiver. The RF in RFID stands for
radio frequency. Many roads use the same technology to keep track
of tolls. And oddly enough, the Mexican Government uses it to
track its Attorney General and his staff - all 160 of them. Yes,
that's right, they've starting putting these chips into people.
Doctors implant them just under the skin, usually in the arm. The
simple procedure feels about like getting a shot. The doctors
never remove it, nor are there batteries to replace: The chip
lies dormant under the skin until read by the radio receiver,
drawing energy from the radio waves. In the case of Mexico, the
chips let the Attorney General's staff roam the secure areas of
his office without flashing a badge - the implanted chip grants
them access.
These devices aren't approved yet in U.S., and I hope they never
will be. This implant seems new and revolutionary, but it's just
one more step down a perilous path we've been taking since World
War Two.
We feared at the end of the war the world of George Orwell's
1984. But it isn't Orwell's Big Brother Police Force and their
in-your-face technology that menaces us. Since World War Two
we've moved step-by-step toward a system where a police state
need no longer be brutal, or openly inquisitorial, or even
omnipresent in public consciousness. Police have instead moved in
the direction of anticipating and forestalling crime. So, the
trend is toward tracking every citizen throughout his or her life
- geographically, commercially, and biologically.
This began soon after World War Two with records of fingerprints,
extensive paper dossiers on citizens, and then computer punch
cards to sort through files. It evolved into the electronic
databases and biological profiling we have today. These new chips
are just a way to quietly add a page to an electronic dossier.
Still, the potential for abuse is enormous. In the future,
perhaps, when someone approaches a sales desk their credit info
would be displayed automatically for the sales staff. Or, the
state could track the public movements of everyone. As a result
people would be less likely to do public activities, to engage,
for example, in protests that offend powerful interests.
So, at first implanting a tiny radio-frequency chip may seem a
painless way to keep order. But we should keep in mind the story
of police work since World War Two: The most insidious technique
is the one which makes itself felt the least, and which
represents the least burden, yet lets every citizen be thoroughly
known to the state.

So far we have sent out 2.5 million eBooks via snailmail!
We currently have access to a dozen DVD burners. If you have
a DVD burner or know someone with one, please email Aaron:
cannona@fireantproductions.com
We can set you up with images, or snail you these DVDs
for you to copy. You can either snail them to readers
whose addresses we can send you, or you can do a stack
of the these and send the whole box back for reshipping
to individual addresses.
We can also send you blank discs in quantities of 50-100
and *perhaps* also provide envelopes, sleeves, etc.
We also have many volunteers who only have time to do one
DVD per day and mail it out. These are greatly appreciated.
There is no need to do a lot per person if we have a lot of
people working on this.

Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 30 weeks of this year, we have produced 2532 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 1999 to produce our FIRST 2532 eBooks!!!
That's 30 WEEKS as Compared to ~30 YEARS!!!
With 13,439 eBooks online as of August 04, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.74 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is only about 1.5% of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $1.13 when we had 8871 eBooks a year Ago
Can you imagine ~13,439 books each costing ~$.39 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine ~13,439 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 13,439 eBooks in 33 Years and 01.00 Months We Averaged
406 Per Year [We do nearly that much a month these days!]
33.9 Per Month
1.11 Per Day
At 2532 eBooks Done In The 216 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
12 Per Day
84 Per Week
362 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.

E-BOOKS FOR AFGHAN PUBLIC HEALTH EDUCATION
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is sending
talking e-books to Afghanistan to give women basic lessons about public
health, as part of a program based on the best-selling LeapPad e-books that
help children learn to read. The books have a small wand that can be used
to touch images of everyday life in Afghanistan that are then described in
Dari or Pashto, the country's two principal languages. Health clinics
initially will distribute 20,000 books to Afghan women. An HHS statement
announcement of the program explains: "The people of Afghanistan continue
to suffer from high maternal and infant mortality rates. By providing
health information in a culturally competent manner, women's health, which
had been ignored under the Taliban, can be improved throughout the region."

INTEL ENDURES ANNUS HORRIBILIS, BUT 'NONE OF THIS IS EASY'
[The real reason might be because current sales were strong]
Intel, the world's largest chipmaker, is delaying the introduction of
its 4-gigahertz Pentium 4 chip until early 2005. Industry analyst Nathan
Brookwood of Insight 64 says, "To quote Queen Elizabeth, this is definitely
Intel's horrible year'' (referring to Queen Elizabeth II's description of
1992 as her "annus horribilis"). So far this year Intel has canceled a chip
code-named Tejas, issued a partial recall of a chipset code-named
Grantsdale, and delayed the launch of a chipset code-named Alviso. Intel
spokesperson Laura Anderson vows: "We are committed to putting our execution
back on track. Shifting this launch is part of that effort.'' Brookwood
sympathizes with the company: "Other companies have similar problems but
with Intel, because it runs like such a well-oiled machine, when they hit a
rough patch, people start wondering what's going on. None of this is easy.''

OUTSOURCING IS A FACT OF LIFE FOR MICROSOFT
The Washington Alliance of Technology Workers says it possesses
Microsoft documents showing that dozens of Microsoft projects are now being
handled by companies in India. Microsoft's response: "These accusations do
not reflect an understanding of the global nature of our business. It's part
of our business model to work with thousands of companies around the world."
Although the company operates a software development center in Hyderabad,
India, and employs 1,000 people throughout that country, Microsoft's core
development work is being done solely by Microsoft employees. But Rob Helm
of Directions on Microsoft explains that outsourcing by Microsoft is "going
to happen more and more just because Microsoft products are more mature and
so they require less intense design work. So it becomes feasible to do it
thousands of miles away." (San Jose Mercury News 29 Jul 2004)

WILL BANGALORE CATCH UP TO SILICON VALLEY?
As U.S. companies continue to expand their outsourcing arrangements,
some observers think that Bangalore, India, is on the verge of becoming the
new home to the world's largest concentration of IT workers. About 160,000
tech workers (100,000 in information technology and 60,000 in business
outsourcing and call centers) are employed by Indian companies like Infosys,
Tata, and Wipro. For comparison, there slightly more than 175,100 technology
workers in the Valley, which now seems to be reinventing itself in such hot
new areas as nanotechnology. Labor market consultant Ruth Kavanagh says that
Silicon Valley is experiencing employment growth levels similar to those in
boom years: "In recent months, we have seen significant improvement in the
jobs situation... The county is gradually gaining back some of the thousands
of jobs lost in the last couple of years." (San Francisco Chronicle 29 Jul

CONVENTION BLOGGERS LEARNING THE ROPES
Associated Press reporter Nick Desjanun, who covers the Internet,
thinks that the three dozen bloggers credentialed at the Democratic National
Convention are not quite ready for prime time. The Boston bloggers are still
trying to figure out who they are and what they're doing: "Reading the early
postings, I found more about bloggers than about the delegates, speakers or
protesters. One posted a photo of the media pass, while several showed their
'Bloggers Boulevard' workspace. A few discussed the identity of a fellow
blogger who had been anonymous until then." Desjanun quotes blogging pioneer
Dave Winer as saying defensively: "It's just the second day, and the first
convention. Of course the first comments are going to be 'It works!'"
Desjanun's column ends with the observation that "as a member of the
traditional media, I don't believe I need to look for a new job yet."

BLOGGING FOR DOLLARS
Technology companies including Microsoft and IBM have been reviewing
the profit potential of the blogs and seeing how they could be used to
improve corporate communications with employees, partners and customers.
James Spohrer, director of IBM's Almaden Research Center, says that blogging
in corporations is all about "decreasing social space between employees, and
increasing the amount of knowledge shared between people." As an example, he
suggested that an employee blog might contain elements of a resume, some of
the individual's educational background and work experience, along with
information on product development strategies. Charlene Li of Forrester
Research says, "Blogs are a way to put a human face on the company."

THE WIKI WAY TO COMMUNICATE
A wiki (the Hawaiian word for 'quick') is a type of Web site that many
people can revise, update and append with new information. Whereas blogs are
essentially designed for personal expression, wikis are designed for
collaboration. The concept was pioneered in the mid-1990s by programmer Ward
Cunningham, who called it the WikiWikiWeb and intended it to serve as a
platform for freewheeling collaboration in software and engineering
projects. Ross Mayfield of the Silicon Valley startup called Socialtext
says: "People have tried very hard to take fragmented knowledge within
corporations and put it somewhere that it can be used, but it's been an
uphill effort. Our focus is literally to get everyone on the same page." And
New York University communications professor Clay Shirky explains that
"people are realizing that perhaps the most human value actually occurs in
smaller groups." (Wall Street Journal 29 Jul 2004)

APPLE ACCUSES REALNETWORKS OF USING HACKER TACTICS
[Apple says it's not enough to pay for the music, you also have to
pay for an iPod, no other MP3 play is legal for their music files.
Sounds a lot like Sony's new eBook reader that will only read Sony
eBook files. . .I wonder what will happen when someone figures out
how to put non-Sony eBooks on it?]
Apple has accused RealNetworks, a provider of digital-media services,
of offering software that lets online music buyers play on a variety of
devices songs intended for use only on Apple's iPod devices. Apple says that
it's "stunned that RealNetworks has adopted the tactics and ethics of a
hacker to break into the iPod." The RealNetworks software in question is
called Harmony, which Real describes as "the world's first
digital-rights-management translation system that music buyers can use to
transfer music from one secure music device to another. It supports devices
made by Creative, iRiver, palmOne, RCA, Rio, Samsung, and others. Legal
experts seem to think that unless Apple can prove that RealNetworks
reverse-engineered Apple's iPod software, a case under the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) would be very hard to win. But Mark Rasch,
former head of the U.S. Department of Justice's computer crimes unit (and
now senior VP of security services firm Solutionary Inc.) says: "The
problem with the DMCA is that it gives more protection than copyright law
and it allows companies to skew the market with a form of protectionism. It
allows technological protectionism to be legally adopted, and it works to
prevent people from coming to market with cheaper compatible products."

Windows software to run on Linux, says its CrossOver Office 3.1 software
now adds support for Apple's iTunes. The version is currently in preview
format and will be generally available later this year. "iTunes has been
our No. 1 most requested application," says CodeWeavers CEO Jeremy
White. "We remain confident that by the end of 2005, the majority of
Windows applications will be supported by CrossOver Office. Until then,
we're pleased to be bringing the appeal of iTunes to Linux users through
the development of version 3.1." (CNet News.com 2 Aug 2004)

AD REMOVER STIRS AUSTRALIAN NETWORKS
[This isn't the first time the law has been called upon to FORCE people
not to delete or skip advertizing. When everything is digital feedback
perhaps they will be able to tell if you don't play the ads.]
The commercial television industry in Australia is preparing to defend
its advertising revenue from new technology that will let consumers
automatically avoid commercials using digital recording systems. A company
called Faulconbridge aims to have the technology activated on 3% of
Australia's 17 million television sets within three years. For the cost of a
set-top box and a subscription fee, consumers will be able to avoid ads, to
automate the recording of shows, series or program genres for viewing later,
and to channel surf automatically during ad breaks. The technology can also
be used to prevent children from watching programs deemed unsuitable, reduce
the volume during ad breaks and remove ads when recorded programs are played
back. (The Australian 29 Jul 2004) Rec'd fr. J. Lamp

MICROSOFT ISSUES PATCH FOR THREE IE FLAWS
Microsoft has released a patch for its Internet Explorer browser that
addresses three security holes rated "critical," including one used in
a virus attack in July. "Critical" patches address flaws that could
result in catastrophic damage to a PC if exploited by an attacker.
The patch release is a cumulative update, containing all previously
released security patches for the browser, although released earlier
than the standard monthly patch updates issued by Microsoft.

JUST A MINUTE -- MY BRAIN IS BOOTING UP
Increasingly, college students are toting their laptops to class and
using them as retrieval mechanisms for information they haven't yet managed
to store in their carbon-based brain cells. The phenomenon was predicted 40
years ago by Marshall McLuhan, who suggested that people's senses were
extending outside of their bodies, in the way a book was an extension of
the eye and a car was the extension of a foot. Internet researcher Sherry
Turkle has documented this latest evolutionary trend in her book "Life on
the Screen" where she describes a typical college student's study habits --
the text book is open, the CNN news ticker is flickering across the TV
screen, the headphones are pumping out the latest alternative rock, and the
student's fielding IM messages as he/she surfs the Web. "Real life is just
one more window," says one multitasking student. (CNN.com 2 Aug 2004)

LOST FLORIDA VOTING DATA FOUND ON CD
[Ooops!]
Election officials in Miami-Dade County, Florida, discovered a CD
containing the election data from gubernatorial primary and other
elections in 2002. Officials previously thought the data was lost
during system crashes in 2003. A citizen's group, the Miami-Dade
Election Reform Coalition, had requested the data for an investigation
of anomalous vote totals recorded on touch-screen voting machines.

IBM TURNS DATABASE CODE OVER TO OPEN SOURCE GROUP
IBM announced it's giving the source code for Cloudscape, a database
written in Java, to the Apache Software Foundation, an open source group
that plans to rename the database Derby and make it available to software
developers. The Apache group is best known as the steward of the Apache Web
server, which is the software that powers most Web sites. Apache will hold
the licensing and intellectual property rights to the Cloudscape code.
Analysts say the move is geared toward boosting software applications
development in the Java programming language while at the same time
underscoring its support of the open source software movement. "The
Cloudscape code is not a major factor in IBM's overall platform strategy,
so this makes sense for IBM," says a Forrester Research analyst.

IBM TO BUILD NEW SUPERCOMPUTER FOR U.S. MILITARY
[Note that this version does NOT mention it is being made from Mac
and Nintendo parts, hee hee!]
The U.S. Department of Defense chose IBM to build the U.S. military's
fastest supercomputer, slated to be the fourth fastest in the world.
The supercomputer is intended to produce short-term weather forecasts
for Navy fleets at sea. According to the Pentagon, the supercomputer
will permit military scientists to model atmospheric and ocean dynamics
for the entire surface of the earth. Other research projects will
include design of airplanes and submarines through analysis of aircraft
wing construction material at a molecular level and the flow of water
around submarine hulls.

NASA BUYS 20 SUPERCOMPUTERS FROM SILICON GRAPHICS
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) chose Silicon
Graphics to supply 20 supercomputers to work in tandem on specific
scientific and design problems. Each supercomputer will include 512
Itanium microprocessors from Intel, for a total of 10,240, plus extra
hardware that reportedly can store 500 trillion bytes of information.
The massive installation goes by the name Project Columbia. NASA
already has three machines in place and plans to have all 20 installed
later this year. The combined systems will solve problems involving the
space shuttle redesign, space exploration, aerospace engineering, and
weather prediction.

[But Intel Is Also Still Playing Games]
INTEL DELAYS PENTIUM 4 LAUNCH
Intel Corporation has announced a delay in the introduction of its
Pentium 4 desktop processor to the first quarter of 2005, reportedly to
ensure production in sufficient volume to meet customer demand.
The new processor has a clock speed of 4 GHz, according to the company.
The original schedule targeted availability before the end of 2004.
The announcement follows delays and recalls afflicting other Intel
chips over the past year.

APPLE OBJECTS TO SOFTWARE FROM REALNETWORKS
In response to an announcement by RealNetworks of new software that

equivalent of breaking and entering: "We are stunned that RealNetworks
has adopted the tactics and ethics of a hacker to break into the iPod,
and we are investigating the implications of their actions."
RealNetworks said that its Harmony technology is designed to be
compatible with a number of copy-protection systems. Apple uses a
protection technology called Fairplay.

FLORIDA COUNTY E-VOTE RECORDS LOST
[Still not getting it right. . .or are they?]
Miami-Dade County in Florida lost detailed records from its first
widespread use of touchscreen voting machines as the result of computer
crashes in May and November 2003. The election records were from the
September 2002 gubernatorial primaries and other elections. In December
Florida officials began backing up the data daily to avoid similar data
losses. In June state officials said the touchscreen voting systems
used by 11 counties had a bug that would prevent a manual recount even
if state law were overturned to permit a recount.

More Headline News Avoided By Most Of The Major U.S. Media
MORE STORIES COMING IN ON RFIDs [Radio Frequency IDentification tags]
July 26--U.S. Army combat units ... food supplies barely met demand ...
in large part because of problems with software based on radio frequency
identification technology (RFID) and network communications.
July 28--Actually, RFID remains a hot topic ... to foster easier tracking
of inventory ... [will] start affixing radio tags to dogs in Portugal...
[Actually, we have RFID for dogs right here in the American Heartland,
and have had them for several years. The Japanese are putting them on
their schoolchildren, while other countries put them only on prisoners.]

STATE GOVERNMENT SPONSORS "LOADED" LOTTERY GAME
[If this were a private game, surely they would be getting sued.]
A few years ago, Arizona added a new lotto game. There are different
ways to bet and different ways to win, but in all of them, you bet on a
three digit number, then wait for the computer to pick a random three
digit number. After a few weeks, somebody noticed the computer never
picked any 9's. The game is still with us, but the computer is not. ***

THE O'REILLY FRACTURE [TM]
The Nation's David Cole finally wrote last week about his appearance
on the O'Reilly Factor a month previously, to set the record straight.
Among other things, he said that after the taping, O'Reilly retaped
over several points he had lost [reversing to an apparent victory,
only it was so obvious that everyone caught him with his pants down].
Originally Thomas Kean, head of the 9/11 Commission had been shown in
a clip saying, Kean said,
"There is no evidence that we can find whatsoever that Iraq or
Saddam Hussein participated in any way in attacks on the United States,
in other words, on 9/11. What we do say, however, is there were
contacts between Iraq and Saddam Hussein. Iraq, Saddam - excuse me.
Al Qaeda."
Instead the show aired with O'Reilly paraphrasing Mr. Kean as saying
"definitely there was a connection between Saddam and Al Qaeda."
[and another kind of news rarely ever mentioned in the media]
>From a librarian at Brandeis:
"An analysis of our main reference department activity for the
last four years (FY00 to FY04) shows that the dip in reference
desk services (approx. 25% decrease) has been fully compensated
by the *rise* in both email and chat reference.
"Furthermore, our stats show that email reference is now 18%
of all reference activity. Chat reference is 12% of all
reference activity. This means 30% of reference questions
were answered digitally in FY04. For comparison, in FY00
email reference was 8% of all reference activity."
SIMPLE SOLUTION OF THE WEEK
Convicted criminals must repay for the their own crimes, along with
those of all the unconvicted criminals, thus making the convicted
pay for the unconvicted and saving all government judicial expense,
since they have to pay for court costs, as well. Perhaps even make
them pay for the salaries of the police.
Thus crime will become a "zero sum game" for the criminals, as well
as for everyone else.

=============================================================================
With the posting of eBook #12973, Project Gutenberg will be including
the scanned page images when they are available. The following is an
edited summary of this policy (with Thanks! to Jim Tinsley):
This is the first PG book to be posted with page images. We are just now
beginning to accept page images along with the regular postings. Prior
to this only eBooks in their final format (text, HTML, etc.) were being
accepted and posted. Of course, Project Gutenberg Distributed
Proofreaders has always preserved its page images, and those will
eventually be made available.
Page images will be posted _only_ as an addition to an etext posted in
the normal way -- we will not post page images without plain text. Also,
page images are an option; they are not and will not be required for the
posting of an etext.
Our goal is that all of the page images submitted should be good enough
to work reasonably well with OCR packages, up to 600 dpi, and should be
stored as black-and-white TIFFs with CCITT-4 (aka ITU-G4 or Fax Group 4)
compression.
And finally, for the forseeable future, these image files will only be
available as compressed archives; in the case of this first posting, the
filename is 12973-page-images.z-p. (Yes, we are still unable to include
"that" three-letter word in our mailings.) Also, be aware that this file
is 12.3MB! The compressed archive of the HTML with images is only 394kB.
As this is the first such posting, it can be anticipated that procedures
will be refined over the coming months. Be sure to check the web site for
more information.

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

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

Joe Loewenstein provides additional information about the following:
#13017, Five Nights, by Victoria Cross: Annie Sophy Cory (1868-1952) was
born in India but lived most of her adult life in Europe. She wrote under
various pen names including Victoria Cross, Vivian Cory, and V. C. Griffin.
Her novels dealt with subjects in advance of their time.
#13015, Tales of Old Japan, by Algernon Bertram Freeman-Mitford: The
author, Algernon Bertram Freeman-Mitford (1837-1916), Lord Redesdale, was
in the British Foreign Service as a young man. He was assigned to the
legation in Japan for several years and acquired a life-long fascination
with Japanese culture. This book has been a standard source of
information about Japanese folklore and customs since its original
publication in 1871 and has been in print ever since. This file is taken
from the 1910 Shilling Edition.
#13022, My Book of Indoor Games, by Clarence Squareman: A book of games
for children with lovely illustrations. Most of us know by another name
the game called in this book "Lubin Loo."
#13044, The Idler in France, by Marguerite Gardiner: The author was born
Margaret Power (1789-1849), the daughter of a poor Irish squire. At age
14 her father forced her to marry an abusive army officer; the marriage
lasted only a few months. After living several years as the mistress of
an Englishman, she married the wealthy Earl of Blessington. After the
earl died, she supported herself and her lover by writing. Her story
brings to mind Lady Carbury in Trollope's "The Way We Live Now."

Hot Headlines!!!
From: Eric Eldred <ericeldred@usa.net>
"According to a Boston Globe article, the federal government has
ordered that some pamphlets already issued to federal depository
libraries be taken out of circulation and returned because they
are internal. Librarians note that the information has long been
in the public domain and are resisting the order.
http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2004/07/24/libraries_ordered_to_d
estroy_us_pamphlets/
[below a snippet from that site]
The office's one-paragraph directive listed the five pamphlets, with
titles such as "Civil and Criminal Forfeiture Procedure" and "Select
Federal Assets Forfeiture Statutes," and instructed librarians to
"withdraw these materials immediately and destroy all copies by any
means to prevent disclosure of their content," according to a copy of
the e-mail sent to the Boston Public Library and all other depository
libraries.
Calls to the Government Printing Office seeking comment were not
returned.

Project Gutenberg Needs DVD Burners
So far we have sent out 2.5 million eBooks via snailmail!
We currently have access to a dozen DVD burners. If you have
a DVD burner or know someone with one, please email Aaron:
cannona@fireantproductions.com
We can set you up with images or snail you these DVDs
for you to copy. You can either snail them to readers
whose addresses we can send you, or you can do a stack
of the these and send the whole box back for reshipping
to individual addresses.
We can also send you blank discs in quantities of 50-100
and *perhaps* also provide envelopes, sleeves, etc.
We also have many volunteers who only have time to do one
DVD per day and mail it out. These are greatly appreciated.
There is no need to do a lot per person if we have a lot of
people working on this.

Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 29 weeks of this year, we have produced 2458 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 1999 to produce our FIRST 2458 eBooks!!!
That's 29 WEEKS as Compared to ~29 YEARS!!!
With 13,365 eBooks online as of July 28, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.75 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is only about 1.5% of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $1.14 when we had 8705 eBooks a year Ago
Can you imagine ~13,365 books each costing ~$.39 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine ~13,365 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 13,365 eBooks in 33 Years and 00.75 Months We Averaged
404 Per Year [We do nearly that much a month these days!]
33.6 Per Month
1.11 Per Day
At 2458 eBooks Done In The 209 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
12 Per Day
84 Per Week
364 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.

TIVO'S EXPANSION PLANS OPPOSED BY COPYRIGHT HOLDERS
[MPAA Is Not Only Against "Time Shifting," But Now Against "Space Shifting."]
In filings with the Federal Communications Commission, Hollywood studios
and other creators of digital content are trying to block the maker of
TiVo television recording devices from letting users watch copies of
shows and movies on devices outside their homes. TiVo wants to expand its
system next year to allow programs to be transferred to registered devices
outside the home -- such as at an office, vacation cabin, or friend's house.
The Motion Picture Association of America opposes this plan, and its general
counsel says: "Our concern is grounded in the fact that the remote access is
not limited to the recipient's summer home or boat or office. The people
that can receive the programming can be totally unrelated in any place on
the globe." (Washington Post 21 Jul 2004)

IBM TO BUILD SUPERCOMPUTER FOR DOD
[Out of Mac and Nintendo Parts!!!]
IBM has been awarded a contract to build the U.S. military's fastest
supercomputer, a 20 teraflop system that will cost about $100 million to
build. The fourth-fastest computer in the world, the system will be used to
produce short-term weather forecasts for Navy fleets at sea and to allow
military scientists to model atmosphere and ocean dynamics for the entire
surface of the Earth. Other uses will be to analyze aircraft material at a
molecular level and to examine the flow of water around submarine hulls to
improve their design. The supercomputer's design calls for 368 of IBM's
high-end corporate servers, using processors from the family of chips that
power Apple's G5 Macintosh desktops and Nintendo's video game consoles.

MOBILE-PHONE WALLETS
In Japan "smart cards" for making consumer purchases may soon be replaced
by virtual-wallet technology. A series of cellphones going on sale this
summer in Japan, for use on NTT DoCoMo's wireless network, are the
world's first with an embedded computer chip that you can fill up with
electronic cash. To pay you simply wave your cell phone within a few inches
of a special display found in stores, restaurants and vending machines
around Japan. Unlike infrared or other mobile payment schemes that require
clicks on the handset, you don't even need to open your phone. But whatever
money is stored on the phone is like cash, so if you lose your wallet you
lose your money. Just like the good old days. (AP/USA Today 22 Jul 2004)

44 MILLION TELECOMMUTERS
A study by In-Stat/MDR predicts that 44 million US workers will be
telecommuting this year, either full-time or working from home on a
part-time basis. The number of telecommuters is expected to grow by 2008 to
51 million, with 14 million working full-time at home. The report notes that
the rise in telecommuting has fuelled growth in high-speed Internet by home
users: "Companies too are supporting this movement, with some firms going so
far as to subsidizing the equipment and service expense to allow their
employees to work from home." (The Age 21 Jul 2004) Rec'd from John Lamp

VIETNAM STEPS UP CONTROL OF INTERNET
[In the interest of "National Security"--see earlier story about China]
[Similar efforts in China this month blocked access to Google]
Vietnam has stepped up efforts to control the Internet, instructing
Internet service providers to terminate contracts with cyber-cafes that
allow customers to access pornographic or anti-government sites. The
directive, issued by Minister of Post and Telecommunications Do Trung Ta, is
the latest in a string of measures unveiled in recent months to prevent "bad
and poisonous information" being circulated online. This latest regulation
requires the communist nation's seven state-owned Internet service providers
to disconnect cyber-cafes if they allow clients to access forbidden sites.
Cafe owners are also instructed to monitor their customers' use of the Web
for any violations of government regulations, such as distributing viruses
and accessing pornographic sites or those that "threaten national security."

CHINA GOES IT ALONE ON HIGH-TECH STANDARDS
[More about China's truly remarkable growth plans]
DVD? China's trying to do it one better -- with a technology called

TD-SCDMA a try instead. Intel's Centrino and Microsoft's Windows? If you're
doing business with Beijing, better bone up on WAPI and Red Flag Linux, too.
These days, China's dominant message is this: We'll embrace the world -- but
on our terms. And nowhere is this more evident than in the realm of high
technology, where behind the acronyms is a battle of standards that could
have global repercussions. Pushed by their government, Chinese firms are
shunning technological protocols invented abroad and developing their own.
They want Chinese-made video discs to run on Chinese-invented players, and
they want Chinese consumers linking up with China-developed mobile gadgets.

DUKE FRESHMEN TO RECEIVE IPODS
[Can eBooks on iPods Be Far Behind?]
Duke University has announced a plan to give each of its 1,650 incoming
freshman this fall an Apple iPod as an experiment to see how the
devices affect teaching and learning. Each iPod will come with
orientation information and an academic calendar installed. Duke will
set up a Web site from which students can download course materials,
lectures, audio books, and other academic content to their iPods.
Although the project is not designed to discourage copyright
infringement, according to Tracy Futhey, vice president of information
technology at Duke, having "an easy-to-use legal alternative" could
provide students with an incentive to limit illegal file trading. The
project is estimated to cost Duke $500,000, and students will keep the
iPods. After the school year is over, school officials will evaluate
the educational benefits of the program.

[and even more open source and open competition]
IBM LOOKS TO COMPETE WITH MICROSOFT FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS
A new initiative from IBM aims to offer alternatives to Microsoft
products in academic settings. Because Windows computers are so common,
many academic programs focus on teaching software development using
Microsoft's operating system and development tools, according to Haym
Hirsh, chairman of the computer science department at Rutgers
University in New Jersey. Hirsh added, however, that "we don't want
our students to come out knowing only one way to do things." Under
IBM's new program, interested colleges and universities will be given
access to software and development tools, including open-source
products as well as proprietary IBM products such as the DB2 database
and WebSphere Internet software. Institutions will also have access to
course-development assistance from IBM's in-house training programs.
Officials from IBM said the program involves more than simply the
promotion of IBM hardware and software, responding to demand from
academic interests to have a broader range of options for teaching
computer science.

[and yet more open access]
BRITISH GOVERNMENT PUSHES OPEN ACCESS
Less than a week after a Congressional committee in the United States
called for open access to government-funded research, Britain's
Science and Technology Committee has issued a report with a similar
recommendation. Like the U.S. report, the British report does not
require open access but strongly encourages scholarly publications to
be either posted on public Web sites or published in "author-pays"
journals, in which authors pay a fee to have their research published,
thereby eliminating fees for subscription. The report also calls on the
government to subsidize author-pays fees for scholars and encourages
academics to retain copyright over their published works, rather than
signing copyright over to the journals that publish them, which
typically happens today. The British Office of Science and Technology
may issue new regulations based on the report this fall. Meanwhile,
Reed Elsevier, the largest publisher of scientific journals, last month
announced that authors of its publications would be allowed to post
copies of their work on institutional Web sites. A spokesperson for
Reed Elsevier said the publisher welcomed the report, though it
believes "some of the concerns expressed in the report about government
policy on scientific publishing to be overstated."

SCHOOL PROJECT LEADS TO CHEAP MOBILE-PHONE DETECTOR
[Is it cheating they want to catch, or just to know what you do/say?]
A team of secondary-school students in New Zealand has created a mobile
phone detector for a business competition at their school, St. Thomas
of Canterbury College in Christchurch. The device, which the students
named CellTrac-r, can detect radio signals that cell phones use when
transmitting or receiving either calls or text messages. When activity
is detected, the device illuminates a series of lights that indicate
that activity and how far it is from the detector, which can monitor
distances up to 30 meters. Similar devices are currently available from
electronics makers, but the one developed by the students is
significantly less expensive than those available today. The students
have sold all 20 of the first batch they made, for NZ$39.95. Linda
Roberts of the University of Canterbury said she plans to test the
devices during university exams at the end of the year in an effort to
prevent students' cheating with cell phones. "People could be texting
away in an exam of 400 people and it would be hard to detect," said
Roberts. The devices will also be tested in a local prison to detect
unauthorized cell-phone usage within the prison.

BLOGGERS GET PRESS CREDENTIALS
[Will the Republicans do the same?]
Several dozen Web loggers have received press credentials to cover the
Democratic national political convention this year in Boston, and
organizers of the Republican convention in New York have said they
intend to issue credentials to 10 to 20 bloggers. The chosen bloggers
face a new situation in having access to primary sources for their
blogs rather than, per their usual practice, ferreting out information
from multiple sources or providing commentary based on news coverage of
events. The bloggers expect to cover niche issues and behind-the-scenes
events rather than the larger issues that typically attract the
mainstream news media. Some media experts have expressed reservations
about the shift in the definition of "journalist" to include bloggers,
arguing that journalists should be credentialed professionals.

More Headline News Mostly Avoided By The Major U.S. Media
U.S. RAIL SYSTEM TRAINS RUNNING WITHOUT ENGINEERS ONBOARD
For at least the second time this month there has been a
remotely controlled train derailment involving hazardous
materials [HAZMAT].
Last night a remotely controlled Norfolk-Southern train
derailed in the St. Louis area near Alton, Illinois,
spilling hundreds of gallons of liquid fuel which HAZMAT
teams are cleaning up. Norfolk-Southern refused comment.
I also called another prominent railroad line to find out
how many trains are run for what distances without anyone
on board, but got a long silence. When I said "thank you"
and prepared to hang up, I was shuffled to a voicemail.
Just this past week, on July 22, it was revealed that the
Union Pacific derailment in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, on the 9th,
was also of a remote control train.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET)
has made repeated warnings concerning these trains, without
apparent effect. [See BLET quote below]
Most of the publicity about these remote control trains is
designed to indicate they are used in railyard switching,
but the Union Pacific train was a full train, consisting
of over 100 cars, which ran through a Jonesboro, Arkansas
checkpoint and crashed into a hazardous materials train on
the main line, derailing 11 cars.
The remote control was being operated by two junior workers
hired only this year.
It would appear that the Union Pacific railroad did not report
the fact that the train was remote controlled to either the
National Transportation Safety Board [NTSB] or local media,
which covered the accident.
A previous Union Pacific crash in Arlington, Texas involved a remote
control train that an eyewitness told the Ft. Worth Star Telegram
repeatedly rammed another train until it derailed right into the
path of another oncoming train. A Union Pacific spokesperson told
the Star Telegram that the remote control operator was out of the
position in which he could that he was hitting anything. Further
Union Pacific comments in the same article indicated that the fault
was "human error" not the fault of the remote control system,
as if repeated crashing would happen with an engineer on board.
There are failsafe devices installed to prevent these crashes,
but other researchers indicate these were overridden on purpose
to speed up the trains to increase profits.
Donald M. Hahs, National President of the BLET was quoted as saying,
"The railroads, which are the nations largest carrier of hazardous materials,
continue to take shortcuts with training employees, properly manning
locomotives, and implementing needed safety precautions."

TEFLON/SCOTCHGARD FOUND IN WILDLIFE AROUND OVER WORLD
Teflon and/or Scotchgard, while providing "non-stick" surfaces to keep
human homes and food cleaner, are turning out to be sticky commodities
in terms of the world's environment, from Polar Bears near the Arctic
to Japanese seabirds, and Mediterranean sea creatures.
These compounds, related to chorofluorocarbons such as Dupont's Freon,
are now being found in the the Great Lakes, which supplies the drinking
water for perhaps 10% of the U.S. and Canadian population.

SCIENTISTS LEAVING UNIVERSITIES
As governments continue denying economic recession and/or depressions,
the continuing cutbacks in grants are driving scientists out of their
academic settings and into the streets.
Most of these used to survive on salaries no better than the median,
not only spending four years as graduate researchers, but then yet
another four to eight years in various post-doctoral positions that
still have have salaries at about the median level.
Most of these would prefer to keep doing research, but with grants
and academics both becoming serious hassles, more and more of them
are heading out into the "real world."
One such example was Craig Venter, who rose to fame by re-entering
the Human Genome Project fray to set the world on its ear after 6
years of living as a surfer, but who rapidly eclipsed the work of
Nobel laureate James Watson, of Watson and Crick fame.
Experts admit that Venter's work was "spectacular" and that in his
efforts he took genetics to the next level, years ahead of where a
previous lock-step approach was being enforced by the governments
and academics.
It just makes you wonder how many more years we would be ahead if
Craig Venter had been encouraged, rather than held back for years
and then forced completely out of the system for 6 more years.

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

The following is a new posting, but we are recycling the ebook number (see
correction notices above, and for counters, note that this does not change
the count):
=============================================================================
With the posting of eBook #12973, Project Gutenberg will be including
the scanned page images when they are available. The following is an
edited summary of this policy (with Thanks! to Jim Tinsley):
This is the first PG book to be posted with page images. We are just now
beginning to accept page images along with the regular postings. Prior
to this only eBooks in their final format (text, HTML, etc.) were being
accepted and posted. Of course, Project Gutenberg Distributed
Proofreaders has always preserved its page images, and those will
eventually be made available.
Page images will be posted _only_ as an addition to an etext posted in
the normal way -- we will not post page images without plain text. Also,
page images are an option; they are not and will not be required for the
posting of an etext.
Our goal is that all of the page images submitted should be good enough
to work reasonably well with OCR packages, up to 600 dpi, and should be
stored as black-and-white TIFFs with CCITT-4 (aka ITU-G4 or Fax Group 4)
compression.
And finally, for the forseeable future, these image files will only be
available as compressed archives; in the case of this first posting, the
filename is 12973-page-images.z-p. (Yes, we are still unable to include
"that" three-letter word in our mailings.) Also, be aware that this file
is 12.3MB! The compressed archive of the HTML with images is only 394kB.
As this is the first such posting, it can be anticipated that procedures
will be refined over the coming months. Be sure to check the web site for
more information.

>From #12975, "International Weekly Miscellany Of Literature, Art, and Science
Vol. I. New York, July 8, 1850. No. 2.":
DISASTERS of life, like convulsions of the earth, lay bare the primary
strata of human nature: they expose to us elements we might forget, or
suppose to be transmuted by the alchemy of civilization. In this respect
they are, like those geological expositions, useful lessons and mementoes
to the lawmaker.

Project Gutenberg Needs DVD Burners
So far we have sent out 2.5 million eBooks via snailmail!
We currently have access to a dozen DVD burners. If you have
a DVD burner or know someone with one, please email Aaron:
cannona@fireantproductions.com
We can set you up with images or snail you these DVDs
for you to copy. You can either snail them to readers
whose addresses we can send you, or you can do a stack
of the these and send the whole box back for reshipping
to individual addresses.
We can also send you blank discs in quantities of 50-100
and *perhaps* also provide envelopes, sleeves, etc.
We also have many volunteers who only have time to do one
DVD per day and mail it out. These are greatly appreciated.
There is no need to do a lot per person if we have a lot of
people working on this.

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 you project you would like to work on.

Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 28 weeks of this year, we have produced 2395 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 1999 to produce our FIRST 2395 eBooks!!!
That's 28 WEEKS as Compared to ~29 YEARS!!!
With 13,295 eBooks online as of July 14, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.75 from each book,
for Project Gutenberg to have currently given away $1,000,000,000,000
[One Trillion Dollars] in books.
100,000,000 readers is only about 1.5% of the world's population!
This "cost" is down from about $1.15 when we had 8705 eBooks a year Ago
Can you imagine ~13,295 books each costing ~$.40 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine ~13,295 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 13,295 eBooks in 33 Years and 00.50 Months We Averaged
402 Per Year [We do nearly that much a month these days!]
33.5 Per Month
1.10 Per Day
At 2388 eBooks Done In The 202 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
12 Per Day
86 Per Week
367 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.

LINKED: THE AOL, MSN, & YAHOO MESSAGING SYSTEMS
[Of the corporation, by the corporation, for the corporation.]
[This will NOT work for the rest of us.]
The separate messaging services offered by AOL, MSN, and Yahoo are
being linked so that corporate computer users can communicate with one
another no matter which systems they use. Companies will have to license
new Microsoft network software that will serve as the hub connecting the three
messaging systems. Industry analyst Nate Root of Forrester Research says:
"This is a very significant announcement. The value here is for corporations.
Corporations will now have the ability to span the instant messaging landscape."
But he notes that the arrangement does not reach "the holy grail of instant
messaging, which is to allow anybody on any network to send a message to
anybody on any other network." The three companies have no plans at this time
to allow users outside the workplace to communicate with one another over
different instant message systems. (Washington Post 14 Jul 2004)

GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN: RFID USED TO TAG EMPLOYEES
RFID tags have been implanted under the skin of Mexico's top federal
prosecutors and investigators to give them quick access to restricted areas
inside a new federal anti-crime information center. The chips also could
provide more certainty about who accessed sensitive data at any given time.
(In the past, the biggest security problem for Mexican law enforcement has
been corruption by officials themselves.) The microchip tags lie dormant
under the skin until read by an electromagnetic scanner, which uses a
technology known as radio frequency identification (RFID) that's now
commonly used for inventory control. (San Jose Mercury News 14 Jul 2004)

GOV. REMOVES PART OF S. DAKOTA LIBRARY SITE
South Dakota Governor Mike Rounds has had the teen section of the State
Library's Web site shut down because it provided links to material he
doesn't believe young people should see. The links to which he found
objection included one to a Planned Parenthood site and one to Columbia
University's Go Ask Alice! Rounds said: "As a parent, I would be very
disturbed to have my children connecting to any of these Web sites." His
position is that state government should not feature links to any advocacy
groups and that removal of the links isn't censorship because users can
still go directly to those organizations' sites. (AP/13 Jul 2004)

BUSH SIGNS IDENTITY THEFT BILL
President Bush has signed into law an identity theft bill that will add
two years to the prison sentences of criminals convicted of using stolen
credit card numbers or other personal data to commit crimes. On top of that,
the sentences of identity-theft violators who then commit acts of terrorism
will be extended by an additional five years. The Federal Trade Commission
estimates that 27.3 million Americans have been victims of identity theft in
the last five years. (Washington Post 15 Jul 2004)

DOUBLE-DIGIT GROWTH IN WORLDWIDE PC SALES
Market research firm IDC in Framingham, Mass. reports double-digit
growth in worldwide sales of personal computers for the fifth consecutive
quarter. IDC executive Loren Loverde explained that "demand in Europe,
supported by the strong euro and aggressive promotions, was the biggest
driver of the quarter." The top five worldwide vendors were (in this order):
Dell, HP, IBM, Fujitsu, and Acer. Acer showed the greatest growth (about
30%) from the year-ago quarter. (San Jose Mercury News 15 Jul 2004)

WIRELESS GOES QWERTY
The success of multifunction devices such as Blackberry, PalmOne's Treo 600,
and Sidekick has inspired new qwerty-keyboard models from Sony Ericsson,
Hewlett-Packard, and Microsoft: Sony Ericsson's P910 offers a fold-down
keyboard useful for sending long e-mail messages; HP and Danger have
developed devices with qwerty-style keyboards; and Microsoft will be
introducing a qwerty-keyboard device called the Pocket PC. Why the interest
in qwerty keypads? Consultant Andrew Seybold says, "In Europe and in Asia,
where the teenagers grew up with triple tapping, they got used to it. In the
U.S. the percentage of people who started out on keyboard is much higher and
that drives what they are used to on a handheld device." The Treo is the only
qwerty handset now being offered by all five major U.S. cellular carriers,
and PalmOne executive Joe Fabris boasts: "The Treo seems to be in the
Goldilocks zone: it's just the right size. We're in the refinement stage
and we're hammering ahead. Other people are still exploring." (New York Times)

LINDOWS INSPIRED TO CHANGE ITS NAME FOR $20 MILLION
Microsoft has settled its trademark infringement lawsuits against
Lindows with a $20 million payment to that Linux operating system company --
which will now change its name to Linspire. Microsoft says, "We are pleased
that Lindows will now compete in the market place with a name distinctly its
own." Lindows has four years to continue using two of its Web addresses:
www.lindows.com and www.lindowsinc.com for the purpose of redirecting
visitors to its new Web sites. (AP/USA Today 19 Jul 2004)

PIRACY REPORT STIRS CONTROVERSY
A recent report by the Business Software Alliance (BSA) about the cost
of software piracy has prompted some to suggest a political motive for
the report. Two weeks ago, the BSA issued a report that estimated
annual losses to software piracy at $29 billion. To some, however, the
timing of the report--released not long after a Senate bill was
introduced that would significantly strengthen copyright law--was not
merely coincidental. Opponents of the Senate bill argued that it would
effectively invalidate a Supreme Court decision that protects those who
develop technology that could be--but is not necessarily--used for
copyright violations. Overturning that precedent, said critics, would
only serve to protect interests of copyright holders and would stifle
technological innovation. Critics of the bill contend that the BSA,
which has previously estimated losses to piracy at $13 billion,
exaggerated the amount and released the report at a time that it would
influence senators considering the bill. Supporters of the bill said it
is sufficiently focused to target egregious violators of copyright. The
BSA defended the new estimate, saying the data that led to the higher
number were more comprehensive than in previous studies.

HOUSE COMMITTEE ENCOURAGES OPEN-ACCESS PUBLISHING
The U.S. House Appropriations Committee has issued a report that urges
the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to offer free, public access to
research it funds. While not a requirement, the recommendation gives
supporters of open access a significant boost and has left publishers
scrambling to try to change the report before it is approved by
Congress. The report encourages the NIH to make research available free
within six months of publication and directs the NIH to report back to
the committee by December 1, 2004, on how it plans to comply. Some
academic groups and librarians have long been pushing for such an open
model for scholarly publishing, especially as prices for many academic
journals have risen sharply. Since the report was issued, the
Association of American Publishers has been working to persuade members
of Congress to reject the open-access language in the report,
particularly the request for a report on compliance. Barbara Meredith
of the association, which said it was not consulted for input in the
writing of the report, said that establishing open-access publishing
for all government-funded research is "not in the best interest of
business and readers."

CONTENTION OVER CELL PHONE 411 DATABASE
A planned directory-assistance database of cell-phone numbers is
raising concerns among civil liberties groups and industry analysts
about protecting the privacy of cell-phone users. Officials from the
Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) said the
411 directory would require customers to opt-in to be included and so
presents no risk to individual privacy. Some critics, however, question
whether the directory could have sufficient enrollment to be
sustainable unless an opt-out approach is used. Verizon Wireless has
said it will not provide its customers' names and numbers to the
directory, but the company's user agreement says that Verizon may
submit customer numbers to a directory unless users pay a fee to be
excluded. According to Adam Goldberg of Consumers Union, in such a
situation, Verizon could at any time decide to change its policy and
the user agreements could be taken as permission to opt-in to the
directory. Because of the uncertainties surrounding the directory and
its implementation, some are calling on the Federal Communications
Commission to regulate the directory. Officials from CTIA argued that
government regulation is not necessary, saying the list will only be
opt-in and that no fees will be charged to be either included or
excluded from the directory.

DELL, HP UP THE ANTE FOR RECYCLING PROGRAMS
Leading computer manufacturers Dell and Hewlett-Packard have announced
new recycling initiatives for computers and other electronics. From
late July until early September, HP will accept PCs and other
electronic devices at Office Depot locations across the country for no
charge. Under Dell's offer, the company will pick up old computers and
accessories from homes. There is also no charge for Dell's recycling
program, but to qualify for the program, consumers must purchase a new
computer from the company. The fact that two of the largest computer
makers are competing for the title of most environmentally friendly
contrasts with the state of affairs not long ago, when most
manufacturers fought the notion that they should bear some
responsibility for recycling old hardware. According to Kate Krebs,
executive director of the National Recycling Coalition, "They started a
year ago with their arms across their chests saying no and here they
are now almost competing."

SIX MORE SCHOOLS TO OFFER NAPSTER ON CAMPUS
Six institutions--Cornell University, George Washington University,
Middlebury College, the University of Miami, the University of Southern
California, and Wright State University--will begin providing Napster
online music services to student this fall, joining Pennsylvania State
University and the University of Rochester. Terms were not released,
and conditions of the service vary by campus. At some schools, for
example, all students can access the service, while at others, it is
restricted to on-campus students. Student demand for the service was
cited by several institutions as a driving factor, and many also
expressed a desire to offer a legal alternative to P2P file-sharing and
to discourage copyright violations. Other companies including CFlix,
which provides movies as well as music, and Ruckus Network are also
working to sign up colleges and universities for their services.
Meanwhile, Virginia Tech has signed a site license with Apple Computer
so its students can purchase songs from the company's iTunes service
without being part of a subscription service.

WHITE COLLAR CRIME OUTRANKS BLUE COLLAR 50 TIMES OVER

SIMPLE SOLUTION OF THE WEEK
[From one of our readers]
Is it just me or does anyone else find it absolutely amazing
that the U.S. government can track a cow born in Canada
almost three years ago, right to the stall where she sleeps
in the state of Washington, and determine exactly what that
cow ate. They can also track her calves right to their stalls,
and tell you what kind of feed they ate.
But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens
wandering around in their country, including people that are
trying to blow up important structures in the U.S.
My solution is to give every illegal alien a cow as soon as
they enter the country.

Joe Loewenstein alerts us to #12875, Life in the Roman World of Nero and
St. Paul, by T. G. Tucker: A fascinating and extremely readable account of
Roman life.
Joe also adds this about #12884, "Reed Anthony, Cowman", by Andy Adams:
Andy Adams wrote mostly about the old West from first-hand experience,
having spent 8 years traildriving cattle from Texas to markets in the
1880's. For more information about him see
