.:: 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.

We Are Over 90% of the Way to 15,000!!!
13,538 eBooks As Of Today!!!
6,462 to go to 20,000
We have now averaged over 400 eBooks per year since July 4th, 1971!!!
It took ~32 years, from 1971 to 2003 to do our 1st 10,000 eBooks
It took ~10 years from 1993 to 2003 to grow from 100 eBooks to 10,100
It took ~3 years from 2001 to 2004 for our last 10,000 eBooks
***Introduction
NOT NEWS!!!
Perhaps the most important news of the week is that Australia seems to
be reversing its stance against copyright extenstion. Just a couple
years ago we were reporting that the Australian Parliament has passed
a resolution stating they would resist all attempts to force a longer
copyright period upon them via what amounts to economic warfare.
However, several sources have reported and confirmed that it is highly
likely that this official resolution will go the way of the dinosaurs
by the end of this year, giving it a lifespan not all that much longer
than that of The Gulf Of Tonkin Resolution that was used to start the
Viet Nam War.
The details aren't all clear yet, but it appears Australian copyrights
will be extended from the author's "life +50 years" to "life +70 years."
It is unclear at this time if the latest 20 years, or one million books,
will be eliminated from the public domain and returned to copyright, as
was done recently in the UK and Italy, or if there will be a moratorium
on copyright expirations for the next 20 years as was done in the US.
Depending on how this works out, Project Gutenbergs in other locations
with "life +50" copyritht, such as Canada and Europe, should probably
be sure to mirror all the eBooks on Australian sites by year's end.
Speaking of the International Project Gutenberg efforts, we should add
that we have two new languages represented in our collection:
Czech
and
Tagalog
bringing our total now to 33 languages.

Have We Given Away A Trillion Books/Dollars Yet???
Statistical Review
In the 32 weeks of this year, we have produced 2631 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 1999 to produce our FIRST 2631 eBooks!!!
That's 32 WEEKS as Compared to ~30 YEARS!!!
With 13,538 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 $1.11 when we had 8861 eBooks a year Ago
Can you imagine ~13,538 books each costing ~$.37 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine ~13,538 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 13,538 eBooks in 33 Years and 01.50 Months We Averaged
409 Per Year [We do nearly that much a month these days!]
34.0 Per Month
1.12 Per Day
At 2631 eBooks Done In The 230 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
11.4 Per Day
80.1 Per Week
350.8 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.

HACKER WANTS TO MAKE iTUNES EVERYBODY'S TUNES
[More below in Edupage section]
Jon Lech Johansen, the Norwegian hacker who gained notoriety for
developing DVD encryption-cracking software, has created a software key that
unlocks the encryption Apple uses for its AirPort Express -- which lets
users broadcast digital music from Apple's online iTunes Music Store on a
stereo not plugged into a computer. Johansen, who posted the key on his Web
site (mockingly named "So Sue Me"), is an open source advocate critical of
Apple for using a proprietary system to ensure that its products work only
with each other. Apple has not yet reacted to this new intrusion. (AP/San

THE NEW MEANING OF OWNERSHIP IN THE DIGITAL AGE
When you buy a CD from a store, you "own" that music, and as long as
you don't bootleg it or charge lots of people money to listen to it, it's
yours. But if you purchase that same playlist online, in most cases you're
purchasing the "rights" to the content which is "locked" by some type of
digital rights management software. Not only that, but those rights may
change over time, dictated by the whims of the music company you get them
from. For instance, Apple Computer recently upped the number of computers
on which its iTunes music files can be concurrently installed from three to
five, but there's nothing stopping it from making its DRM more restrictive
in the future -- although the company says that's unlikely. Meanwhile,
customers of RealNetwork's Rhapsody music service "rent" their songs for a
monthly fee but can play them only on their PCs, not their MP3 players. All
these variables mean that consumers will need to be better informed in the
future about what it is they're actually getting for their money, says Alan
Davidson, associate director of the Center for Democracy and Technology:
"DRM underscores the point that consumers are going to have to become a lot
more sophisticated about what they're buying."

REALNETWORKS UPS THE ANTE, SLASHES PRICES
In a strategy to undermine Apple Computer's dominance in the online
music market, RealNetworks is cutting its prices at the RealPlayer Music
Store to 49 cents per song and $4.99 per album. Apple's iTunes Music Store
sells songs for 99 cents apiece and albums for $9.99. The discount will
prove a losing proposition for RealNetworks in the short term, because it
will be charging less than it pays music companies in royalties, but
RealNetworks hopes its radical move will help to unseat Apple, which by
some estimates commands a 70% share of the music-download market.
RealNetworks also seeks to draw attention to its Harmony technology, which
enables users to listen to songs purchased from RealPlayer on Apple iPod
music players. Up until now, iPods have played only music purchased at
iTunes. (Wall Street Journal 17 Aug 2004)

GOOGLE SLASHES SHARE PRICE
[This is a very conservative report compared to the others I've heard]
Google has cut the expected share price for its initial public stock
offering by almost a third, an indication that demand from investors is
considerably less than was expected. The Internet search firm now says its
expected price range will be between $85 and $95 per share -- whereas its
original projected price range was between $108 to $135 per share. Google
also announced that the number of shares ultimately available to the public
will be reduced from about 25 million to 19.6 million.

[More on the RFID front. . .telling ADS to go to YOUR house,
and telling ADVERTIZERS if their product is in your pantry!]
THEY'RE INTO YOUR TELLY, NEXT THEY'LL BE INTO YOUR PANTRY
The top four U.S. broadcast networks -- CBS, ABC, NBC and Fox -- have
signed on to comply with a new 12-character code system called Ad-ID, to be
used for tracking all advertising. The system is being compared in
importance to the introduction three decades ago of the universal product
code (UPC) bar codes for tracking retail sales and inventory. Marketing
professor Peter Sealey at the University of California at Berkeley explains:
"It's going to allow advertisers for the first time to precisely target
individuals for whom the message has relevance. This way we can create on
the fly a different ad for a different household." Example: a diaper
manufacturer could select households with babies while a dental adhesive
maker would pinpoint their denture-wearing neighbors, based on information
that consumers provided. Sealy says that five years or so from now Ad-ID and
RFID systems will be used together: "Then we could measure whether we
delivered the commercial to you, and, as I am monitoring your pantry,
whether you bought the product, too." (Reuters/USA Today 18 Aug 2004)

FCC TO REQUIRE DISCLOSURE OF WIRELESS OUTAGES
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ruled that wireless
carriers must submit reports to government officials concerning
significant outages in service, though those reports will be kept from
public view. Disclosure of outages had been in place for wireless
carriers since 1991. After September 11, 2001, however, the information
in the reports was deemed potentially useful to would-be terrorists,
and the reports ended. Noting that emergency services increasingly
depend on wireless communication, and that disclosure of outages
promotes a more stable wireless network, the FCC will again require the
reports from wireless carriers. The Department of Homeland Security and
wireless telecoms argued that the reports pose a security risk and that
a voluntary reporting system would be preferable. In a concession, the
FCC agreed that the reports will be confidential and will not be
subject to the Freedom of Information Act.

FCC EXEMPTS HIGHER ED FROM CALEA
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has issued a preliminary
ruling that exempts colleges and universities from costly projects to
reengineer computer networks to comply with the Communications
Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA). CALEA requires telecom
companies to build their networks in such a way that federal officials
can eavesdrop on phone conversations and e-mail exchanges with proper
authority, and some have called for the FCC to rule that CALEA should
also cover computer networks that carry Voice over Internet Protocol
(VoIP) telephone service. The FCC will not make a final decision on
CALEA until late this fall, but in the meantime it has issued a ruling
that identifies certain entities that would be exempt from CALEA for
the purposes of VoIP phone service. Aside from higher education,
exempted entities include libraries, hotels, and coffee shops.

DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO COPYRIGHT EDUCATION
Citing what it calls one-sided information about copyright presented by
groups including the Business Software Alliance (BSA) and the Motion
Picture Association of America (MPAA) to school students, the American
Library Association (ALA) will release its own educational materials to
schools. ALA officials said that copyright information given to schools
from industry groups neglects to address such issues as fair use and
that the bias of industry groups doesn't serve the best interests of
school kids. A representative of the BSA said his group's materials
are not biased and that they focus simply on right versus wrong rather
than on covering the range of relevant issues. Darrell Luzzo, vice
president of education for Junior Achievement Worldwide, which last
year cosponsored a program with the MPAA on copyright education, said
that if his organization were going to repeat the project, it "would
want to talk more about fair use." Discussions with educators later
convinced Luzzo that the program should have been more broadly based
rather than focusing on just one side of the issue.

[iTunes Restrictions Continue To Fall]
DVD JON GOES AFTER AIRPORT EXPRESS
The Norwegian hacker known as DVD Jon has published a software key for
Apple Computer's AirPort Express, a wireless device that allows users
to transmit songs from iTunes on a computer to a stereo. Jon Johansen,
now 20, found himself the subject of criminal prosecution as a
15-year-old when he published a key to the encryption for DVDs,
allowing users to make copies--legitimate or otherwise--of encrypted
DVDs. Ultimately, Johansen was acquitted of those charges. Johansen has
been an outspoken critic of proprietary software and voiced his support
on his Web site for a recent announcement from RealNetworks that they
had developed an application to allow their content to be played on
Apple's iPod music player. The software key that Johansen published
this week for the AirPort Express is the third time this year he has
defeated Apple's copy protections for music files. The new key,
according to some experts, could allow development of a range of
products from companies other than Apple that will work with the
AirPort Express device.

MICROSOFT TO OFFER BASIC WINDOWS XP IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
[Linux Forces Microsoft Prices Downward In Competition]
Microsoft will distribute a slimmed-down version of Windows XP in five
developing nations beginning this fall as part of the company's
ongoing efforts to facilitate computer use and literacy. Consumers in
Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia will see the so-called Windows XP
Starter Edition on PCs starting in October; the other two countries in
the program were not named. The Starter Edition of the operating system
has fewer features than the standard package, and versions are
customized for each country, including appropriate languages and items
such as screen saver photos that reflect the local landscape. Also part
of Microsoft's initiative is a program that offers free operating
systems and inexpensive Office software packages to certain schools in
67 developing countries. Prices for the Starter Edition were not
announced, though some reports indicated it might be about $36.
According to a spokesperson from Microsoft, the low price allows the
company to compete with Linux and may also discourage piracy, since
buyers of inexpensive, legitimate copies of the software are eligible
for patches and updates.

UNLISTED PHONE NUMBERS PUBLISHED
[Ooops!]
Officials at Verizon Communications said this week that due to a
computer problem, phone numbers of as many as 12,000 Verizon customers
who asked that their phone numbers be unlisted may end up published in
phone directories. Verizon published at least 9,000 of the numbers in
its own directory that includes Virginia, Maryland, and West Virginia,
but the company, which is required to disclose its customers' numbers
to competing directory services, inadvertently released as many as
12,000 unlisted numbers to other directories. Verizon has offered to
refund the fees that consumers pay to have their numbers unlisted or to
change customers' phone numbers free of charge if they so choose.
Officials from Verizon said the problem resulted from a conversion to a
new computer system.

MICROSOFT IDENTIFIES PROBLEMS WITH SP2
Microsoft has released a list of about 50 applications, including some
of its own, that the company said will have problems working properly
with the long-awaited Service Pack 2 (SP2) for Windows XP. The service
pack include a number of important security upgrades that consumers
have been calling for, and SP2 was released to manufacturers earlier
this month. One of the changes, however, is that SP2 activates the
Windows firewall by default, and this firewall causes problems with a
number of applications because it affects their ability to receive data
over the Internet. The list of affected applications includes products
from Symantec, Computer Associates, and Macromedia, as well as several
products from Microsoft, including Visual Studio .Net, Operations
Manager, and SQL Server. Some companies have issued advisories to
employees not to install SP2 until all potential problems have been
identified, though others insist that the security benefits from the
service pack are more important than possible conflicts.

More Headline News Avoided By Most Of The Major U.S. Media
SEVERAL STRANGE POLITICAL DEALS STRUCK IN THESE OLYMPICS
OUSTED GREEK OLYMPIC LEADER OUTSTED/REINSTATED, LIKE APPLE'S STEVE JOBS
Gianna Angelopoulos-Daskalaki was ousted and later reinstated
as head of Greek Olympic Committee.
In 1994, she was named Vice - Chair of Harvard University's
John F. Kennedy School of Government.
In 1996, she was appointed President of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games'
Bid Committee. In 1998, she was appointed Greek Ambassador at Large.
As of May 2000, she was President of the Athens 2004 Organizing
Committee for the Olympic Games.
She was the first woman in history to be president of a successful
Olympic bid committee, yet was forced out of her position as CEO
due to political infighting. However, those who forced her out
never got the ball rolling and the games' preparations fell very
much behind until she was returned to her post as CEO after three
years of what can only be referred to as extreme political silliness
that was almost suicidal. Rumors were already rampant that the
Olympics would be removed from Greece and awarded to one of the
other bidding countries before those who ousted her from the CEO
position after she won the bid finally realized there was actual
work to be done and reinstated her.
It is not only amazing that this sort of thing happens on a regular
basis, but that the news media regularly covers it up, especially
when the victim is a woman.
[It was nearly impossible to find even one article on this.]
and
Olympic Regulations Changed At the Last Minute
There have been any number of rule changes made for this Olympics,
many of them under public suspicion of being politically oriented,
or occidented, as the case may be, especially in the table tennis,
or ping-pong, world events. Not only have nearly half the points,
from 21 to 11, been cut out, but the ball has been made larger. A
greater concern on the geopolitical spectrum has been to to eschew
the possibility of an all Chinese final match, as has happened for
both the men's and women's doubles teams in half of the events for
the history of table tennis as an Olympic event. This year all of
a country's teams must play in the same "draw," which now provides
for a 0% chance that two teams from the same country can make this
year's championship match, even if those two teams are the best.
Many other events have had their rules changed, some at such times
as only a few days before the events, thus requiring Olympians for
various events to make last minute alterations in strategies which
have been in preparation for four years. Some of these changes in
their programs have been fatal to their chances to medal and maybe
even more possibly fatal to their health than we would like. This
safety item, much less the these political ramifications, had been
swept under the carpet by the major news coverage.
They say the safety and integrity of the competitors is a primary,
if not THE primary concern, but such rule changes make you wonder,
especially when such changes are constantly being made, even right
up to the very last days. Perhaps the rules for each Olympics can
be announced when the site is picked, or at the latest by the time
the previous Olympics closing ceremonies take place, thus giving a
more level playing field for preparations, and for contesting rule
changes well beforehand.
Many of these changes have been made in the high visibility sports
such as gymnastics, table tennis and volleyball, and have changed a
lot of the endurance factors to non-endurance factors making teams
and individuals have to concentrate more on tactics than strategy,
but making for a more televisual event to sell on the open market.
In some cases this is like asking a Marathon runner to think along
the lines of a sprinter just for increased entertainment value.
In addition, those who watch those extemely high-visibility events
such as gymnastics have probably noticed the lack of the extensive
use of "release moves" from the high bar for men or in uneven bars
for women. These release moves have been the most exciting and/or
the highest point value elements in previous Olympics, but so far,
they they have severely reduced in the planned routines. This was
due to severe rule changes that disallowed the traditional dropped
scores of the worst performance in each event, thus encouraging an
extraordinary effort in the team competitions, but you might be in
for a disappointment this year if you expect performances similar,
or exceeding those of previous Olympics.
Last night's women's team finals turned out to be a nearly perfect
example of this, as the Romanian team won with a most conservative
set of routines, but performed without major mishaps. The Chinese
had much more spectacular routines, which might have won under the
old scoring system, but a spectacular fall removed all hopes to do
well enough for any medal at all.
***
In addition, there have been announcements that Greece's premiere
athlete[s] will be arrested and taken to court for not showing up
for manadatory drug tests. It seems a little strange for private
organizations such as Olympic Committees to be able to enforce an
entirely internal regulation as if it were a state criminal act.
[The previous was composed before the events]
Announcements by the IOC [International Olympic Committee] today,
in various venues, say the IOC is no longer pursuing the two they
have been after since the Olympics opened, finally admitting that
they have no authority over the two since withdrawing officially,
but offical state's attorneys of Greece are not giving up, and at
the moment are reported to have opened yet another investigation.
Thus is appears that the Greek Olympic Committee still has a long
arm that reaches beyond its own official jurisdiction.

ODD STATISTICS OF THE WEEK
Tobacco, one of the legally accepted "drugs of our civilization,"
yields 20 times the profit per acre of raising the usually grains
and other similar crops. . .in case you were wondering just where
all those billions of dollars came from for the tobacco companies
to do all that lobbying, advertizing, and to hire scientists, who
either proclaimed that tobacco was neither addictive nor harmful,
or who hid the evidence that it was addictive and harmful.

ONE IN FIVE ENGINEERS LACKS 4-YEAR DEGREE [From Newsscan, as above]
It turns out that more than 20% of U.S. science and engineering
workers do not have a four-year bachelor's degree, according to a new
report issued by the National Science Foundation. Five percent hold high
school diplomas and 17% have two-year associate's degrees. The study
indicates that in the in the computer and math science fields, the
percentage of those without four-year degrees is about 40%.The news
highlights a growing crisis in the U.S., as the number of science and
engineering doctorate degrees granted continues to fall and the number of
educational visas issued to foreign candidates also shrinks. Despite these
dismal figures, NSF data indicates that graduate enrollment in science and
engineering programs reached a record of nearly 455,000 students in fall
2002. (CNet News.com 16 Aug 2004)
http://news.com.com/2100-1022-5312309.html
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.
Speaking of Rather, Brokaw and Jennings, not to mention Lehrer
on PBS, their average age is well over twice the median age in
the United States, and three times the world at large.

FREE TRADE FINALLY REACHES THE CITIZEN LEVEL
Illinois has legislation to allow its citizens to buy drugs
from Canada and other countries. Of course, the companies
who have been charging twice as much for the same drugs IN
the U.S. as elsewhere are complaining, as is the FDA [Food
and Drug Administration, since this bypasses them and their
authoritarian regime structures.

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.

More Headline News Avoided By Most Of The Major U.S. Media
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."
http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2004/07/24/libraries_ordered_to_d
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.]

*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.

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

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.

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 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.''

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."

CodeWeavers, a startup that specializes in software designed to enable

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

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)

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

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.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) chose Silicon
Graphics to supply 20 supercomputers to work in tandem on specific

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.

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.

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 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.

>From NewsScan:
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

GOOGLE IN ITS YOUTH
Google is being sued for age discrimination by a 54-year-old terminated
manager who says he was told that he didn't fit in with Google's culture of
"youth and energy." The company prides itself on being an enlightened
employer, but the lawsuit alleges that Google purposely avoids hiring older
workers. Google denies the accusations. (San Jose Mercury News 24 Jul 2004)

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
EVD. CDMA? The digital cell phone standard is so 2003, the Chinese say. Give
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.

REALNETWORKS MUSIC TO PLAY ON APPLE IPODS
RealNetworks has announced software that will make music downloads from
its online music store compatible with any portable media player,
including Apple Computer's iPod. Until now, RealNetworks music played
only on the Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra MP3 player, and the iPod
has supported only digitally protected songs that carry restrictions on
their use and are purchased from Apple's iTunes Music Store. The new
Harmony software reportedly will make ReanNetworks songs compatible
with FairPlay, the digital rights management standard Apple uses to
protect songs from unauthorized copying.

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.

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.
