.:: 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
EBooks numbered 1 to 10000 are located in "release year" directories.
Over time, the "release year" advanced, so that by November 2003 the
release year was 2006. Starting with eBook #10001, they are filed by
their official eBook number, with a unique subdirectory based on that
eBook number.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
To get to a directory listing you can use either:
http://gutenberg.net/1/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/
Then navigate down through the subdirectories until you get to the
appropriate level, and then select the file you wish to download,
using your usual download procedures. This system works on mirrors,
too, and will hold all eBooks starting with the number "1" for
10,000 and beyond.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 10000:
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download site
(or a mirror) if you know the filename and year you want. For example,
navigate to either:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and then look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that
updated eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99,
etext00, etc.)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Note: this listing best viewed with a fixed-width font, such as
Courier New or similar.

Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.
And poor punctuation can also lead to confusion:
A panda goes into a bar, orders a sandwich, fires a gun and heads for
the door. A shaken barman asks why. 'Look it up,' says the panda,
throwing him a badly punctuated wildlife manual. The barman turns to the
relevant page: 'Panda: Bear-like mammal native to China. Eats, shoots
and leaves.'

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
an *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.

Project Gutenberg--Canada is now starting up!!!
Please let us know if you would like to volunteer!
Copyright in Canada is "Life +50" as in Australia,
and we have volunteers working on both of these.
We will also be seeking volunteers from others of
the "life +50" countries, as it looks as if the

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),
since the online database doesn't reflect recent additions.
Do you have Public Domain books your 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). Alternatively, you can send your books directly to:
Charles Franks
9030 W. Sahara Ave. #195
Las Vegas, NV 89117
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 17 weeks of this year, we have produced 1675 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 1998 to produce our FIRST 1675 eBooks!!!
That's 17 WEEKS as Compared to ~28 YEARS!!!
With 12,582 eBooks online as of May 05, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.79 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 $1.28 when we had 7803 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine ~12,500 books each costing ~$.49 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine ~12,500 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 12,582 eBooks in 32 Years and 10.00 Months We Averaged
383 Per Year [We do more per than that month these days!]
31.9 Per Month
1.05 Per Day
At 1675 eBooks Done In The 119 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
14 Per Day
98 Per Week
419 Per Month
The production statistics are calculated based on full weeks'
production; each production-week starts/ends Wednesday noon,
starts with the first Wednesday of January. January 7th was
the first Wednesday of 2004, and thus ended PG's production
year of 2003 and began the production year of 2004 at noon.
This year there will be 52 Wednesdays, thus no extra week.

GOOGLE IPO CHANGES THE RULES
The waiting is over: Google, the leading company in the Internet-search
business, has filed for an initial public offering (IPO) through which it
will sell about $2.7 billion of shares through an online auction -- a method
chosen in order to put more shares into the hands of individual investors.
The use of an online auction will also restrain the frenzied first-day
trading activity that sometimes result in investment scandals, and will
minimize the key role that investment bankers usually play in deciding who
gets IPO shares. Google has been profitable since 2001. Last year it
generated net income of $106 million, on revenue of $962 million derived
mainly from ads placed on Google's Web site and sites of Google's partners.

BAN ON INTERNET ACCESS TAX EXTENDED
The Senate has voted 93-to-3 to extend the ban against taxes on
Internet access for another four years, in an agreement brokered by Senator
John McCain (R, AZ), chairman of the Commerce Committee. Senator Ron Wyden
(D, OR) says: "This is a huge victory for those who want the Internet to be
healthy and vibrant in the years ahead." But Senator Lamar Alexander (R, TN)
cautions that "the debate should serve as a wake-up call to state and local
governments that they needed to make clear their views on what stages of the
Internet connection should be subject to taxes before the issue of the ban
came up again." Earlier in the week President Bush urged Congress to block
taxes on Internet access, because fast, affordable, and widely available
Internet service is key to the nation's continued economic competitiveness.

PATRIOT ACT RULES MUFFLE DISSENT
The secrecy provisions of the USA Patriot Act have prevented the
American Civil Liberties Union from publicizing a lawsuit it filed three
weeks ago challenging the FBI's methods of obtaining many business records.
The ACLU was recently allowed to release a redacted version of the lawsuit
following extended negotiations with the Justice Department. "It is
remarkable that a gag provision in the Patriot Act kept the public in the
dark about the mere fact that a constitutional challenge had been filed in
court," says ACLU associate legal director Ann Beeson. "President Bush can
talk about extending the life of the Patriot Act, but the ACLU is gagged
from discussing details of our challenge to it." The crux of the ACLU's
case concerns a section of the Act that allows the FBI to request financial
records, telephone and e-mail logs, and other documents from businesses
without a warrant or judicial approval. Such requests are known as
"national security letters," and the FBI has issued scores of such letters
since late 2001. The ACLU complaint says that using national security
letters to force Internet service providers to turn over names, screen
names, e-mail addresses and other customer information without proper
notice to customers raises questions about the constitutionality of the
Patriot Act's legal underpinnings. (Washington Post 29 Apr 2004)

FOUR SPAMMERS FACE CRIMINAL CHARGES
Four California men face criminal charges for sending millions of
junk e-mail messages, becoming the first spammers to be charged under the
recently enacted federal CAN-SPAM Act. Christopher Chung, Mark Sadek and
Daniel and James Lin are accused of secretly hijacking proxy servers --
systems that relay e-mail from any point on the Internet -- owned by
unsuspecting businesses such as Ford Motor Co., Unisys and Amoco, and
government agencies, including the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts
and the U.S. Army Information Center. The use of proxy servers is a
favorite trick among spammers to disguise their identity. "This has been a
problem that's plagued the Net for years, and the fact that corporations
and government agencies still have open mail servers is scandalous," says
one security consultant. "Somebody dropped the ball." If convicted, the men
face up to five years in prison for violating the anti-spam law, as well as
up to 20 years for mail fraud for distributing an allegedly fraudulent
weight loss skin patch. The group also sent spam mail hawking male organ
enlargement pills and Viagra. Terence Berg, the assistant U.S. attorney
handling the case, warns that this lawsuit is a harbinger of more to come:
"This is just a start. There will be many more prosecutions like this. The
government is determined to do something about the flood of spam that is
polluting the Internet." (Detroit Free Press/SiliconValley.com 29 Apr 2004)

APPLE WHISTLES A HAPPY ITUNE
Apple Computer says it's sold more than 70 million songs during the
first year of its iTunes online music service and chief executive Steve
Jobs says the company's now selling 2.7 million songs a week at 99 cents
per song. "We feel we have lots of momentum," he notes. Apple has recently
renegotiated the licensing arrangements with the five major record labels
to allow iTunes purchasers to share the songs among five personal computers
instead of three. In addition, the iTunes service is offering several new
features, including music videos and the ability for users to publish
"playlists" of favorite music lineups. At the same time, the number of
times a particular playlist can be burned on a user's CD has been reduced from
10 times to seven. Apple says it's considered moving to the subscription
business model, but has rejected that shift, noting that it believes most
users would rather own their songs than rent them for a limited time.
[As opposed to the Sony model of renting eBooks for $5 for 2 months.]

BOWIE CALLS ON BOOTLEGGERS
David Bowie has invited fans to bootleg his music -- and he's offering
prizes for the most creative theft. The musician's Web site invites
fans to mix classic Bowie songs with material from his latest album,
"Reality" to create a "mash-up" -- a track superimposing the vocal line
from one song with the backing tracks from another. The technique has
long been employed by record producers, but music software has made it
accessible to thousands of "bedroom DJs" - to the alarm of record companies
battling to control the distribution of music through the Internet. Bowie,
57, was quoted in The Times, saying mash-ups were "a great appropriation
idea waiting to happen." "Being a hybrid maker off and on over the years,
I'm very comfortable with the idea and have been the subject of quite a few
pretty good mash-ups myself," he said. (The Australian, 27 Apr 2004, rec'd

GERMAN GROUP RELEASES ALBUM VIA RINGTONES
A German musical group called Super Smart has decided to release its
latest album, Panda Babies, exclusively as polyphonic ringtones for cell
phones. The band says they decided to go with ringtones in order to
sidestep the traditional music publishing industry. "Music has to be
re-thought," says Antonio Vince Staybl, founder of the Go Fresh Mobile
Music label. Go Fresh is offering Super Smart's mix of disco pop and
electro punk tunes for an introductory price of e1.99. The company has
already signed up 20 artists and says it's sold a million ringtones in its
first year of operation. "We release songs within a few hours across Europe
without interfaces to the traditional music industry. Our prices for a
ringtone album or a compilation of 10 to 12 tracks including a mobile phone
video will settle down at four to five euros and the price for a single
ringtone at e1.49 in the medium term," says a GoFresh Europe spokesman.

WHO WILL KEEP AN EYE ON E-VOTING?
The tiny U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC), whose mandate is to
supervise the use of electronic voting machines in the U.S., claims that it
is seriously underfunded and can't be expected to forestall widespread
voting machine problems. EAC director DeForest B. Soaries Jr. says: "We've
found some deeply troubling concerns, and the country wants to know the
solution... If you look at the evolution of voting in America, only in last
four months has there been a federal agency whose exclusive focus is to deal
with voting. It's the foundation of our democratic structure on one hand,
but on the other we've really left it to the states to manage completely."
Kim Alexander, president of the California Voter Foundation, comments: "I
wish the EAC luck, but oversight of these systems is illusory. As long as
federal voting system standards are voluntary, voters across the country
will not have the peace of mind they need to feel confident in their voting
systems." (AP/San Jose Mercury News 3 May 2004)

[And in a related story]
CALIFORNIA DECERTIFIES E-VOTING MACHINES
California Secretary of State Kevin Shelley has decertified electronic
voting systems across the state and is seeking a criminal investigation
of Diebold Inc., the maker of the e-voting machines. One of the systems
from Diebold has been banned outright. A different type of system, also
from Diebold, has been decertified temporarily and could be allowed
back in use if it is shown to meet strict security requirements.
According to Shelley, Diebold is guilty of "deceitful conduct" in
persuading California counties to install e-voting systems that had not
undergone adequate testing or been properly certified. Shelley also
accused Diebold of lying about the status of the machines. A statement
from Diebold did not address the charges specifically but said the
company is confident of its "technology and its benefits" and looks
forward to "helping administer successful elections in ... November."

U.S. TAPS AUSSIE SPAMMER
The U.S. government has launched its first criminal case against
spammers, and taken civil action against an Australian spammer with the
help of local authorities. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission says that the
first charges have been brought against several U.S. companies under
Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing
(CAN-SPAM) Act, which took effect in January. It also has served legal
notices on Australian company Global Web Promotions Pty Ltd, which
investigators said pitched fraudulent weight-loss and growth-hormone
products. The FTC says it brought its case with help by the Australian
Competition and Consumer Commission and the New Zealand Commerce
Commission. ACCC spokeswoman Lin Enright confirmed the ACCC assisted the
FTC in tracking down Global Web Promotions, but would not say whether it
would have a continuing role in the matter. (The Australian 30 Apr 2004,

SCHOOLKIDS USING E-BOOKS
Beginning this fall, fifth- and sixth-grade students in a school
district outside Dallas, Texas, will begin using laptops instead of
textbooks. The initiative of the Forney Independent School District is
the latest in a series of projects aimed at replacing printed versions
of texts with electronic ones. The laptops in Forney will be loaded
with electronic versions of textbooks, works of art, and literature.
The district will spend about $1,000 per computer and another $500 per
student for wireless access and support. Similar projects are under way
at other schools, including colleges such as Wake Forest University.
Institutions working to replace some or all printed texts with
electronic versions face a number of challenges, including copyright,
technology, and pricing. According to Jay Dominick, chief information
officer at Wake Forest University, electronic books remain generally
more expensive than used, printed texts, leading most students to buy
used books when available.

U.K. LIBRARIANS AND ACADEMICS DISAGREE OVER PUBLISHING CRISIS
At a British Parliamentary hearing, academics and librarians from
higher education in the United Kingdom presented conflicting opinions
about whether the country is experiencing a crisis in access to
scientific publications. The hearing was held by the U.K. Parliament^Rs
Science and Technology Select Committee, which is conducting an inquiry
into pricing and availability of such materials. The consensus among
the librarians at the hearing was that there is a very real crisis,
both in pricing and availability. Members of the library community
supported Open Access (OA) publishing, which requires payment from
authors for publication. Many of the academics at the hearing, however,
denied there is a crisis in academic publishing and rejected OA, saying
it raises a range of problems, not least of which is the required
upfront payment from authors. Some academics complained that the
committee's selections of speakers at the hearing unfairly favored

PATRIOT ACT IMPEDES NEWS ABOUT PATRIOT ACT
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a federal lawsuit
alleging that the USA PATRIOT Act is unconstitutional, but the group
was prohibited from releasing information about the lawsuit's filing
because of secrecy provisions of the Patriot Act. Three weeks after the
filing, the ACLU reached an agreement with government officials to
release a redacted version of the suit, which contends that the power
granted by the Patriot Act to obtain information from "electronic
communication service providers" is unconstitutional. Ann Beeson of the
ACLU said, "It is remarkable that a gag provision in the Patriot Act
kept the public in the dark about the mere fact that a constitutional
challenge had been filed in court." According to the compliant, the
Patriot Act improperly allows law enforcement officials to compel ISPs
to turn over information such as names, screen names, and e-mail
addresses of customers without notifying the individuals involved. The
ACLU argues that a warrant or other judicial review should be required
for such disclosure.

INTERNET ACCESS TAX BAN PASSES SENATE
After reaching a set of compromises, the U.S. Senate this week
overwhelmingly approved a four-year extension to a ban on taxing
Internet access. Originally approved in 1998, the ban on taxing
high-speed access is seen by many including President Bush as necessary
to foster increased access among U.S. users and to guarantee a "healthy
and vibrant" Internet. Some supporters of the ban have called on
Congress to make it permanent. Opponents of the bill, including
officials from many state and local governments, believe taxes on
Internet access should be a source of governmental funding, especially
as phone services, which are taxed in their traditional form, are
increasingly moving to the Internet. One of the key concessions was to
exclude Internet phone services from the ban, allowing taxes to be
levied on phone services delivered over the Web. Grandfather clauses
were also added to allow states that have already taxed Internet access
to continue to do so. The bill must still be reconciled with a separate
House version.

More Headline News Mostly Avoided By The Major U.S. Media
THE MOUSE THAT ROARS!
DATELINE HOLLYWOOD -- Oscar-winning filmmaker Michael Moore's
documentary linking President Bush with powerful Saudi families,
including that of Osama bin Laden, is stirring up controversy even
before its release.
That is. . .if it even gets released.
Hollywood trade paper Daily Variety said in its Wednesday edition
Walt Disney Co. has moved to prevent its Miramax Films unit from
distributing "Fahrenheit 911."
The Disney edict could herald the bloodiest political battle yet
between Miramax's feisty co-chairman Harvey Weinstein and Disney CEO
Michael Eisner, who oversaw the purchase of Miramax a decade ago,
Variety said.
[Michael Eisner is on the outs with many at Disney, and Walt Disney's
brother, Roy, recently walked off the Disney Inc. board in protest.
It would appear Eisner's contract will not be renewed, which may or
may not make him more of a lame duck leader. However, some sat it
also makes him fight more like a cornered rodent.]
"Fahrenheit 911," Moore's follow-up to his Academy Award-winning film
"Bowling for Columbine, will still premiere in competition at the
Cannes Film Festival in France later this month. Rumors had been
circulating of a July release date in North America, but the film does
not appear on Miramax's summer schedule, the paper said.
It quoted a Miramax spokesman as saying that the company was "looking
forward to resolving this amicably."
Officials from Miramax and Disney were not immediately available for
comment on the report.

.:: 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
EBooks numbered 1 to 10000 are located in "release year" directories.
Over time, the "release year" advanced, so that by November 2003 the
release year was 2006. Starting with eBook #10001, they are filed by
their official eBook number, with a unique subdirectory based on that
eBook number.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
To get to a directory listing you can use either:
http://gutenberg.net/1/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/
Then navigate down through the subdirectories until you get to the
appropriate level, and then select the file you wish to download,
using your usual download procedures. This system works on mirrors,
too, and will hold all eBooks starting with the number "1" for
10,000 and beyond.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 10000:
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download site
(or a mirror) if you know the filename and year you want. For example,
navigate to either:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and then look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that
updated eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99,
etext00, etc.)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

.:: 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
EBooks numbered 1 to 10000 are located in "release year" directories.
Over time, the "release year" advanced, so that by November 2003 the
release year was 2006. Starting with eBook #10001, they are filed by
their official eBook number, with a unique subdirectory based on that
eBook number.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
To get to a directory listing you can use either:
http://gutenberg.net/1/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/
Then navigate down through the subdirectories until you get to the
appropriate level, and then select the file you wish to download,
using your usual download procedures. This system works on mirrors,
too, and will hold all eBooks starting with the number "1" for
10,000 and beyond.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 10000:
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download site
(or a mirror) if you know the filename and year you want. For example,
navigate to either:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and then look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that
updated eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99,
etext00, etc.)

Right now is a gift. That's why it's called the "present".
=============================================================================
Today Project Gutenberg is over 1/4 of the way from 10,000 eBooks to 20,000 !
Contrary to all the pundits' prolific predictions over the years,
Project Gutenberg not only has not gone under, but has continued
it's growth on a curve in excess of Moore's Law, as in this graph:

We should also add that the quality of the Project Gutenberg eBooks has been
increasing over the same period; in terms of initial accuracy, format options
and continuous error correction. In addition, Project Gutenberg now provides
eBooks in 31 languages, with Project Gutenberg of Europe targeting over 50.
The 30th language at Project Gutenberg was Romanian.
Project Gutenberg of Australia has already released 350 eBooks.
Project Gutenbergs of Canada and Luxembourg are opening soon, with new
entries from all the European Union nations expected in the near future.
If the growth rate listed above continues for only one more decade,
Project Gutenberg will be offering over one million books in 2012,
and the next step will be to translate these million eBooks into
100 different languages.
By the time this is all complete, perhaps by Project Gutenberg's
50th Anniversary in 2021, we hope to provide 10 million eBooks
from all over the world, and present them in 100 languages,
for a total 1 billion eBooks, and we hope to distribute these
to 1 billion readers, 15% of the world population.
If we succeed, we will give away one quintillion eBooks.
At present, even if we have only reached just over 1% of the world,
we have already given away over a trillion eBooks.

.:: 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
EBooks numbered 1 to 10000 are located in "release year" directories.
Over time, the "release year" advanced, so that by November 2003 the
release year was 2006. Starting with eBook #10001, they are filed by
their official eBook number, with a unique subdirectory based on that
eBook number.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
To get to a directory listing you can use either:
http://gutenberg.net/1/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/
Then navigate down through the subdirectories until you get to the
appropriate level, and then select the file you wish to download,
using your usual download procedures. This system works on mirrors,
too, and will hold all eBooks starting with the number "1" for
10,000 and beyond.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 10000:
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download site
(or a mirror) if you know the filename and year you want. For example,
navigate to either:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and then look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that
updated eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99,
etext00, etc.)

The Project Gutenberg Weekly Newsletter For Wednesday, April 28, 2004 PT1
*****eBooks Readable By Both Humans and Computers Since July 4, 1971******
This Newsletter is being completed and sent from our backup locations
as beryl.ils.unc.edu is down. Thus the numbers are probably a little
lower than they should be, as the listings of the new eBooks are sent
through a beryl listserver. Before beryl went down, we were up to a
weekly total of 84 new eBooks, so I am going with 85, as below, and I
will do my best to make sure we properly reconcile next week's number
with this. Apologies for any confusion this causes. The rest of the
Newsletter should be up to date, as I retrieved Newsscan and Edupage
articles from our backup email sites.
*Newsletter editors needed! Please email hart@pobox.com or gbnewby@pglaf.org*

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
an *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.

We're still keeping up with Moore's Law!
I think the figures below are slightly high,
since we did EXACTLY 1,000 eBooks by the 3rd
week in April last year, and this year 1579.
This is just about exactly 100% Moore's Law.
Moore's Law 12 month percentage = 104%
Moore's Law 18 month percentage = 101%
[100% of Moore's Law = doubling every 18 months]

*** Continuing Requests For Assistance:
Project Gutenberg--Canada will be starting up soon.
Please let us know if you would like to volunteer!
Copyright in Canada is "Life +50" as in Australia,
and we have volunteers working on both of these.
We will also be seeking volunteers from others of
the "life +50" countries, as it looks as if the
Australian copyright law is falling victim to the
new "Economic Warfare" being waged by the World
Intellectual Property Organization and various
billionaire copyright holders around the world.

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),
since the online database doesn't reflect recent additions.
Do you have Public Domain books your 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). Alternatively, you can send your books directly to:
Charles Franks
9030 W. Sahara Ave. #195
Las Vegas, NV 89117
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 16 weeks of this year, we have produced 1579 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 1997 to produce our FIRST 1579 eBooks!!!
That's 16 WEEKS as Compared to ~28 YEARS!!!
With 12,486 eBooks online as of April 28, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.80 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 $1.29 when we had 7666 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine ~12,500 books each costing ~$.49 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine ~12,500 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 12,486 eBooks in 32 Years and 9.75 Months We Averaged
380 Per Year [We do more per than that month these days!]
31.7 Per Month
1.04 Per Day
At 1579 eBooks Done In The 112 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
14 Per Day
99 Per Week
421 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.

SONY E-BOOK GETS RAVE REVIEWS
Sony's Librii electronic reader is as easy on the eyes as the paper version,
says New York Times reviewer Todd Zaun. The Librii screen is a collaborative
effort between Philips Electronics and E Ink, and the letters appear
"as sharp and clear as those on a printed page. The screen can be
read from almost any angle, and it does not fade in bright light,"
says Zaun. Sony plans to begin selling the Librii in Japan next month
for about $380, and buyers will be able to download e-books for less than
$5 each from a Web site set up by Sony and a group of Japanese publishers.
Sony plans to see how its Japanese market develops before it decides whether
to expand to the U.S. and Europe. (New York Times 22 Apr 2004)

LINDOWS SET FOR IPO
Lindows Inc. has filed for a so-called Dutch-auction-style initial
public offering in an effort to raise up to $57.5 million. In a
Dutch-auction IPO, investors bid on shares and help set the offering price.
Lindows, which markets a version of Linux software for personal computers,
was founded by Michael L. Robertson, the entrepreneur who also founded
MP3.com. Lindows has locked horns with Microsoft, which has filed lawsuits
alleging that the Lindows name violates Microsoft trademarks on the Windows
operating system. In response, Lindows changed the name of its software to
Linspire last week. (Wall Street Journal 21 Apr 2004)

AUSTRALIAN BANKS LOOK AT LINUX SWITCH
Linux and open-source software have a big future - at Microsoft's
expense - in at least two of Australia's four big banks. Westpac and the
National Australia Bank are seriously considering open source, and the ANZ
Bank has yet to show its cards. Meanwhile, the Commonwealth Bank has
decided to stick with Microsoft products. Westpac and NAB are evaluating
Linux on the desktop, as well as open-source alternatives for their
back-end IT operations. That could lead to pockets of desktops running
open-source software, perhaps in ATM or teller environments and many
back-end systems, including internet-banking platforms running on Linux.

INDIA IMPLEMENTS E-VOTING
For decades, millions of illiterate Indians voted by pressing their
thumbprints on ballot cards. This year, they'll just press a button --
and so will everyone else. India's general elections, which began Tuesday,
are set to make the world's largest democracy also the world's largest user
of computerized voting machines. This year, in a staggered vote that runs
through May 10, India's 660 million registered voters will be able to
exercise their franchise on one of approximately 1 million computerized
voting machines in an electronic, ballot-less election. The change in India
is having a deep impact on politics. Supporters say it's also good for the
environment in a country trying to save its vanishing forests. More than
8,000 tons of paper, made from approximately 16 million trees, has been used
to print ballots for past federal elections. (The Australian 22 Apr 2004)

MD. GROUP DEMANDS PAPER BACKUP FOR E-VOTES
A voter advocacy group in Maryland is suing that state's Board of
Elections to prevent the use of touch-screen voting machines until a paper
record is installed as auditable backup for the system. At present, the
state's Diebold voting machines are not set up to produce a paper record of
each individual vote. Linda H. Lamone, the state elections administrator,
says that paper records are unnecessary because the Diebold system is
equipped to preserve votes in its memory: "It's stored in two different
locations. If we have battery failure, it still doesn't lose votes." She
also said: "It's going to be next to impossible for anyone to gain access to
manipulate the election. If anyone tries it, we're going to put them in
jail." (Washington Post 22 Apr 2004)

SEX.COM SAGA CONCLUDES
The lengthy legal battle over the rightful ownership of the "sex.com"
domain name has come to a conclusion with VeriSign's agreement to settle
for terms that are rumored to be around $10 million. "This shows that the
small guy can eventually beat a huge company. Hopefully, this leads to
better care, custody and control over people's intellectual property," says
Gary Kremen, who originally registered the name but found in 1995 that
Network Solutions had turned the rights over to convicted forger Stephen
Michael Cohen, who duped the Internet registrar into believing he had
purchased it from Kremen. A federal court in 2001 ordered Cohen to pay
Kremen $65 million, but Cohen skipped the country and is rumored to be
living in Monte Carlo. Kremen then set his sights on VeriSign, which had
purchased Network Solutions in 2000 and refused to admit any mistake had
been made. The company is embroiled in nine other lawsuits over problems
with domain-name registrations, according to the company's most recent
annual filing with the SEC. (Los Angeles Times 21 Apr 2004)

FINGERPRINT TECHNOLOGY IN OHIO SCHOOLS
The Akron, Ohio school district has begun using a $700,000 "iMeal"
program that identifies students in school lunch lines using their
fingerprints. Students whose parents don't want them fingerprinted can
instead be issued a PIN number to participate in the school lunch program.
The coordinator of Akron's Child Nutrition Services says, "It's a parental
and student choice what to do. We don't encourage or discourage either
option." Whether students use fingerprints or PIN numbers, they'll be able
to pay as they go through the lunch line or draw from a prepaid account.

WANT ATTENTION? DRIVE THROUGH MANALAPAN, FLORIDA
Manalapan, Florida, where two out of every three homes are worth more
than $500,000, will soon be running background checks on every car and
driver that passes through town. Cameras will take infrared photos recording
a car's tag number, and computer software will automatically run the numbers
through law enforcement databases; police will also have a picture of the
driver, taken with another set of cameras. A Manalapan police official says,
"Courts have ruled that in a public area, you have no expectation of
privacy." In any event, the official makes a point of saying that the data
collected this way will be destroyed every three months.

COMCAST WALKS AWAY FROM THE TABLE
Withdrawing his company's unsolicited bid to take over the Walt Disney
Company, Comcast president and CEO Brian L. Roberts explains: "We have always
been disciplined in our approach to acquisitions. Being disciplined means
knowing when it is time to walk away. That time is now. It has become clear
that there is no interest on the part of Disney's management and Board in
putting Comcast and Disney together. As a result, we have withdrawn our offer."

MICROSOFT EXTENDS CONCESSIONS
In a surprise announcement, Microsoft said it will allow competing
software companies to license its technology beyond the term required
by Microsoft's antitrust settlement with the government. One of the
major requirements of the settlement was that Microsoft allow
competitors access to its technology so that those other firms could
develop software that would work properly with the Windows operating
system, thereby spurring competition in the software market. Only 14
companies, however, have bought licenses to use Microsoft technology in
developing their own applications. Responding to comments from the
judge in the case that the settlement has not shown the results
anticipated, Microsoft said it will continue the licensing program
until November 2009, two years longer than the settlement requires.
Microsoft also said it will allow access to some portions of its

More Headline News Mostly Avoided By The Major U.S. Media
COLLEGE TUITION OUTSTRIPPING INFLATION 10 TIMES OVER
As per a radio news program this morning, one of our regional colleges
is raising tuition today by 16% for incoming students, and 7.5% for
continuing students.
At 16%, this is 10 times the U.S. Inflation rate of 1.6% (2002)
Source: 2003 CIA World Factbook
It will only take 5 more 16% tuition hikes to double tuition.
We've already had several such tuition hikes reported.

CHINESE PUSHING FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS GRID
The Chinese government has decided to postpone indefinitely a plan
that would have imposed its own standard for wireless technology.
[This allows for the export of U.S. wireless technologies.]
Evans said of the Chinese decision: "It is certainly a landmark day --
a fruitful day in the relationship between the United States and China.
Our exports to China are growing faster than exports to any other country
in the world."
The headlines were misleading in the original:

[I'm still working on more information for you on this subject]
[Yes, there is more this week]
I've been researching and reporting on "Stereolithography" or 3-D
printing for about 10 years, and still have very little in the way
of press coverage of a pretty exciting computer application. . .
"printing" actual 3-D objects from your computer.
[Here'e The Latest On The 3-D Computer Age, And, Again, Note They
Don't Mention How These 3-D Parts Actually Get Into The Real World]
3D SEARCHING
Researchers have developed new search engines that can mine catalogs of
three-dimensional objects such as airplane parts or architectural features.
For example, Purdue University professor Karthik Ramani created a system
that can find computer-designed industrial parts, and Caterpillar Inc.
engineer Rick Jeff says of Ramani's technology: "If you've got to design a
new elbow for an oil line, more often than not, we have a plethora of
elbows"; Jeff says the problem has been that each has to be examined
separately -- a tedious task "that isn't even performed that often, because
it isn't feasible or practical... It seems like there's ever-greater demands
for speed in product development, and it's those kinds of breakthroughs that
are needed to keep up. This would really just add to the efficiency."
Professor Ramani says happily: "I think this is the beginning of the
information age." (AP/San Jose Mercury News 16 Apr 2004)

.:: 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
EBooks numbered 1 to 10000 are located in "release year" directories.
Over time, the "release year" advanced, so that by November 2003 the
release year was 2006. Starting with eBook #10001, they are filed by
their official eBook number, with a unique subdirectory based on that
eBook number.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
To get to a directory listing you can use either:
http://gutenberg.net/1/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/
Then navigate down through the subdirectories until you get to the
appropriate level, and then select the file you wish to download,
using your usual download procedures. This system works on mirrors,
too, and will hold all eBooks starting with the number "1" for
10,000 and beyond.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 10000:
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download site
(or a mirror) if you know the filename and year you want. For example,
navigate to either:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and then look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that
updated eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99,
etext00, etc.)

Last, but hopefully not least <g>:
Additional information, clarification, edification from various of our
Production Team members on a couple of today's postings:
#12095: More Bywords, by Charlotte M. Yonge
For those wishing to know: it's a collection of odds and ends by Charlotte.
There's a few short stories that never got made into novels, a few poems and a
play.
#12058: Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa Bk. 4, by Kisari Mohan Ganguli
From the DP Project Note: This is the 4th book of 18 in this massive work. It
is a national epic, produced by countless hands over many centuries;
"Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa" is its legendary, superhuman author, as Moses is
regarded as the author of the Torah. Ganguli is (only) its 19th century
translator.
Tagline:
"I know" is just "I Believe" with delusions of grandeur.

*** Continuing Requests For Assistance:
Project Gutenberg--Canada will be starting up soon.
Please let us know if you would like to volunteer!
Copyright in Canada is "Life +50" as in Australia,
and we have volunteers working on both of these.
We will also be seeking volunteers from others of
the "life +50" countries, as it looks as if the
Australian copyright law is falling victim to the
new "Economic Warfare" being waged by the World
Intellectual Property Organization and various
billionaire copyright holders around the world.

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),
since the online database doesn't reflect recent additions.
Do you have Public Domain books your 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). Alternatively, you can send your books directly to:
Charles Franks
9030 W. Sahara Ave. #195
Las Vegas, NV 89117
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 15 weeks of this year, we have produced 1494 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 1997 to produce our FIRST 1494 eBooks!!!
That's 15 WEEKS as Compared to ~27 YEARS!!!
With 12,406 eBooks online as of April 21, 2004 it now takes an average
of 100,000,000 readers gaining a nominal value of $0.81 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 $1.30 when we had 7666 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine 12,000 books each costing ~$.48 less a year later???
Or. . .would this say it better?
Can you imagine 12,000 books each costing 1/3 less a year later???
At 12,401 eBooks in 32 Years and 9.50 Months We Averaged
378 Per Year [We do more per than that month these days!]
31.5 Per Month
1.04 Per Day
At 1494 eBooks Done In The 105 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
14 Per Day
100 Per Week
428 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.

BERNERS-LEE WINS $1M TECHNOLOGY PRIZE
Tim Berners-Lee, the scientist credited with inventing the World Wide Web
back in the early 1990s, has been awarded the first Millennium Technology
Prize by the Finnish Technology Award Foundation, an independent fund
supported by the Finnish government and a number of Finnish companies
and organizations. The $1 million prize is among the largest of its kind,
and the prize committee noted that Berners-Lee's decision not to
commercialize or patent the technology for personal gain embodies
the spirit of the award. (AP 15 Apr 2004)

APPLE COMPUTER: THE MUSIC COMPANY
Apple's profits nearly tripled in its second quarter, largely because
of continued strong sales of the iPod portable music player. Apple chief
executive Steve Jobs said, "We feel great. We sold a lot of Macs, but we've
sold more iPods in the quarter than all the Macs put together." But Apple is
resisting a proposal from RealNetworks suggesting the two companies form a
tactical alliance in the digital music business. Industry analyst Richard
Doherty of Envisioneering says: "Real understands how incredibly powerful
the Microsoft music initiative will be. I don't think that Jobs understands
this. He doesn't realize how big the juggernaut is about to get." And
RealNetworks chief executive Rob Glazer is stunned to find Steve Jobs so
adamant about keeping Apple systems proprietary: "Why is Steve afraid of
opening up the iPod? Steve is showing a high level of fear that I don't
understand." (New York Times 15 Apr 2004) http://tinyurl.com/3ch8y &

[Don't Let Them Confuse You With Statistics!
This is 40% of the 75% of the US that has an Internet connection at all.
Luckily 75% = 3/4. . .so it's easy to see that it is really only 30%.]
[More details below, and another article in the Edupage section]
BROADBAND GAINING BROADER APPEAL
About 40% of U.S. Internet users now have broadband connections at home,
with cable modems accounting for 54% of those and 42% connecting
through DSL. Those numbers -- part of a new report by the Pew Internet and
American Life Project -- represent a sharp surge in broadband penetration,
which was pegged at only 28% a year ago. And among those opting for
high-speed connections, DSL has made significant inroads from last May,
when only a third of broadband subscribers chose the telephony-based
service. That change is attributable to lower rates now charged by
telephone companies for DSL service, with SBC dropping its price to $27 a
month and Verizon to $35, according to Dave Burstein, editor of a DSL
newsletter. Pew senior research specialist John Horrigan says the increase
in broadband connections reflects Americans' rising frustration with slower
connections that they perceive as wasting their time. "People turn to
broadband over time as they expand the menu of online activities they do,"
says Horrigan. (AP 19 Apr 2004)
http://apnews.excite.com/article/20040419/D821R9Q00.html
[Here is a similar article from last year, not quite so misleading]
GROWTH IN RESIDENTIAL BROADBAND LEVELING OFF
The percentage of experienced Internet users who said they wish to upgrade
from dialup to broadband connections declined this year -- 43% compared to
53% last year -- in a development that signals the stabilization of the
residential broadband market. Pew Internet and American Life Project
director Lee Rainie said of the study's results: "The overall Internet
population has stopped growing in the United States. If there is no net
growth, you eventually run out of veteran users who have spent a couple of
years in dialup mode and want to move to broadband." The study also found a
slight shift among broadband users toward favoring cable modem connections.
In March, 67% connected via cable, compared with 63% a year earlier. In
contrast, 28% reported connecting via DSL, down from 34% the year before.
Although the percentage of DSL users dropped, overall growth is still up --
9 million users in March, up from 7 million. That compares with 21 million
cable modem users. Almost a third of Internet users now have broadband
connections -- up from 21% last March. (AP 19 May 2003)

ON THE INTERNET, SOME CHOOSE THE SLOW LANE
Is a higher Internet transmission speed worth what it costs? Many say no,
and concur with the feelings of an Internet user who says: "I resent it.
I don't do gaming. I don't download a lot of graphics. For the money I
would spend, I don't need it." Alex Pope, a retired attorney, explains that
to pass the time while he's downloading data over his slow connection:
"I bring a newspaper and sit and read," and Internet user Danielle Kolko
admits: "I have friends who are high-tech computer engineers who are
horrified by the fact I have dial-up. I just tell them I'm more patient
than they are." The Yankee Group, a research and consulting company,
says that the highest penetration of broadband access is among
upper-middle-class households -- a finding suggesting that price
remains a large factor in decisions to get high-speed connections.

DENMARK BEST IN WORLD FOR E-COMMERCE, U.S. RANKS SIXTH
Denmark is the most conducive country in the world for e-commerce,
with the U.K. ranking second, followed by Sweden, Norway and Finland. The
U.S. ranked sixth -- down from third in 2003, according to a report by the
Economist Intelligence Unit. The company rated things like demand for
mobile phones and faster Internet connections, as well as access to cheap
and easy-to-use products and software. Another vital component in the
future of e-commerce development is the role of governments, and [the] EIU
suggests further cooperation between local governments, the information and
communications industries, and businesses -- something that's already
happening in the Nordic countries. EIU points out that the role of
government can be particularly important in so-called developing countries
where infrastructure is lacking. It points to India, South Africa and
Bulgaria as examples of countries that have managed to develop "niche"
industries in software development and services outsourced from the U.S.

PAPER DVDS PROMISE INCREASED CAPACITY, SECURITY
Sony and Japanese company Toppan have developed a DVD made largely from
paper that can store five times as much as current DVDs. The paper
discs use blue-laser technology, which is being developed by
electronics manufacturers including Sony, Philips, Hitachi, and
Samsung. Compared to the red-laser technology on which today's DVDs
are based, the blue-laser format allows capacities of about 25
gigabytes per disc. Current DVDs have a limit of 4.7 gigabytes.
Because the new discs are made primarily of paper, they can easily be cut
with scissors, offering a simple and reliable way to dispose of the discs
and to destroy the data on them. Paper discs will reportedly be less
expensive to produce than current DVDs, though Sony and Toppan did not
say when the new DVDs would be available to consumers.

AMAZON JOINS SEARCH ENGINE FRAY
Amazon is quietly revving up its new search engine, A9.com, as it
prepares to take on the likes of Google and Yahoo in the red-hot search
engine market. A9 -- still in the testing stage -- touts features geared
toward e-commerce that allow users to sift through search results, store
and view their search history, and locate books on Amazon related to query
terms. "We want to enhance the customer e-commerce search experience, so
we're using this beta iteration to gain firsthand commentary from our
users," says an A9 spokeswoman. A9 uses a combination of Google and
Amazon-owned technology, and some Google-sponsored ad listings are
displayed along with the results. Users can also search directly from a
browser's URL box by typing a9.com/query -- for example, www.a9.com/harry
potter. The service is available to current Amazon customers and others
who register with the site. (CNet News.com 14 Apr 2004)

IN INDIA, INFOSYS CELEBRATES BEGINNING OF "NEW JOURNEY"
Infosys Technologies, the Indian software services giant that does a
great deal of work outsourced by U.S. companies, has for the first time
posted more than $1 billion in annual sales, making it possible for chief
executive Nandan M. Nilekani to boast: "Today, we have the required size,
brand, compelling value proposition and ambition to build the
next-generation software, services and consulting company." The company,
which was founded in 1981 by seven entrepreneurs on an initial investment
of $250, specializes in performing data entry, programming and customer
technical support. Company chairman N. R. Narayana Murthy believes that
the $1 billion revenue milestone is the "beginning of a new journey."

A GO-SLOW APPROACH TO SPYWARE LEGISLATION
Spyware (the generic term for software that is surreptitiously
downloaded onto PCs when users are engaged in some activity such as instant
messaging or surfing for music or games) comes in two major varieties: the
relatively innocuous "adware" that places advertisements on people's
computers, and the more insidious kind that capture user keystrokes in order
to steal passwords or other private information. The Internet security firm
McAfee says the number of "potentially unwanted programs" on its customers'
computers grew from 643,000 in September 2003 to more than 2.5 million in
March. Still, Commissioner Mozelle Thompson, a member of the Federal Trade
Commission, warns against trying to solve the problem with hurried and
ill-conceived legislation: "There are some kinds of practices that we may
consider unfair or deceptive that we already have existing power to pursue."
His alternate solution is for technology companies to develop standards for
downloads that would distinguish them from spyware. Marc Rotenberg of the
Electronic Privacy Information Center scoffs: "To expect that market-based
solutions are going to protect the consumers, I think, is to misunderstand
the problem." (Washington Post 19 Apr 2004)

TV NEWS WHEN YOU WANT IT: IN THE MORNING
Researchers at Ball State University's Center for Media Design have found
that more TV viewers are tuning into early morning newscasts (6 to 10 a.m.)
-- a major shift in America's viewing habits. Ball State telecommunications
professor Robert Papper says: "Because of the introduction of new
technologies and cable television, consumers are taking control.
They are telling us that we'll consume the news when we want and
the shows or networks we want to watch.' If they want to watch the weather,
they can tune into the Weather Channel at any time of the day. Why should
they wait for the local news if a cable channel has it when they want to
watch?"

AMAZON ENTERS THE SEARCH FRAY
Amazon.com has thrown its hat into the online search ring with a new
service called A9. Search results on A9 are provided by search-engine
leader Google, which also provides paid-search advertisements. Users of
A9 can also use Amazon's "Search Inside the Book" service, launched
last fall, which lets users view selected portions of books online. A
Google spokesman said, "Amazon's strategy ... with the technology" was
not immediately clear but said that Amazon is a valued partner of the
search firm. John Battelle, publisher of Searchblog, however, sees
Amazon's new service as a threat to Google. Comparing how Google
usurped Yahoo as the leading search provider, Battelle said the Amazon
service takes the best of Google and makes it better.

[40% of What???]
HOME BROADBAND REACHES 40 PERCENT
Broadband penetration in U.S. homes has reached 40 percent, according
to new data released by the Pew Internet and American Life Project.
Contrary to predictions a year ago by the Pew project that the number
of broadband subscribers had reached a plateau, providers of broadband
have found significant numbers of new customers and customers willing
to upgrade from dial-up to high-speed service. Many of the new
broadband customers are taking advantage of lower prices, especially
for DSL compared to high-speed cable service, though relatively few
cited cost as the reason for switching. John Horrigan, senior research
specialist at Pew, said consumers are pushed toward high-speed
connections as they spend more time online, involved in a growing list
of online activities. Even if broadband costs more, consumers
understand that faster connections will allow them to waste less time
and save money in the long run.

Among other points, they argue that:
* Granting too many privileges to broadcasters through the treaty may
lead to under-use of the very broadcasts the privileges are supposed
to promote.
* The proposal to extend broadcast ownership privileges to 50 years is
not justifiable for broadcasters to recoup their investment.
Their full report is available in HTML and PDF formats.
As far as the term of protection is concerned, the proposals advocate
a 50-year duration, when the existing international treaties protect

of press coverage of a pretty exciting computer application. . .

3D SEARCHING
Researchers have developed new search engines that can mine catalogs of
three-dimensional objects such as airplane parts or architectural features.
For example, Purdue University professor Karthik Ramani created a system
that can find computer-designed industrial parts, and Caterpillar Inc.
engineer Rick Jeff says of Ramani's technology: "If you've got to design a
new elbow for an oil line, more often than not, we have a plethora of
elbows"; Jeff says the problem has been that each has to be examined
separately -- a tedious task "that isn't even performed that often, because
it isn't feasible or practical... It seems like there's ever-greater demands
for speed in product development, and it's those kinds of breakthroughs that
are needed to keep up. This would really just add to the efficiency."
Professor Ramani says happily: "I think this is the beginning of the
information age." (AP/San Jose Mercury News 16 Apr 2004)

.:: 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
EBooks numbered 1 to 10000 are located in "release year" directories.
Over time, the "release year" advanced, so that by November 2003 the
release year was 2006. Starting with eBook #10001, they are filed by
their official eBook number, with a unique subdirectory based on that
eBook number.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED GREATER THAN 10000
To get to a directory listing you can use either:
http://gutenberg.net/1/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/
Then navigate down through the subdirectories until you get to the
appropriate level, and then select the file you wish to download,
using your usual download procedures. This system works on mirrors,
too, and will hold all eBooks starting with the number "1" for
10,000 and beyond.
FOR EBOOKS NUMBERED 1 THROUGH 10000:
Use your Web browser or FTP program to visit our master download site
(or a mirror) if you know the filename and year you want. For example,
navigate to either:
http://gutenberg.net/etext06/
- or -
ftp://gutenberg.net/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext06/
and then look for the first five letters of the filesname. Note that
updated eBooks usually go in their original directory (e.g., etext99,
etext00, etc.)

Last, but (hopefully) not least <g>:
Additional information, clarification, edification from various of our
Production Team members on a couple of today's postings:
#12000: A Walk from London to John O'Groat's, by Elihu Burritt
For those wishing to know: Elihu Burritt was an American who visited
England in 1863 and walked from London to John O'Groat's (at the top of
Scotland). He recorded what he saw, his thoughts and conversations with
the people he met.
#11951-6: A Popular History of France From The Earliest Times
This is a six volume project of over 4000 pages of fascinating history with
400 fine steel engravings and woodcuts. Each volume is very large. . .
#11947: On the Edge of the War Zone, by Mildred Aldrich
This book is the second in the series of war-time books of edited letters by
the author to her friend Gertrude Stein. The first book, 'A Hilltop on the
Marne' has already been posted to PG as #11011.
And from eBook posting #11963, Punch Vol. 156, above:
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away," quotes a weekly paper. We only hope
this is true, for it is impossible to afford both.
