.:: 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.)

CONVERTING OLD EBOOKS TO THE NEW FILENAMING AND DIRECTORY SYSTEM:
As of 18 May 04, Project Gutenberg volunteers began the process of
manually transferring the eBooks with numbers between 1 and 10000 to the
new directory structure. This means that the files which were
previously posted in etext dirs based on their "official release year"
are now being posted in directories based on their filename.
This process includes, where possible and practicable, repairing,
correcting, and re-formatting to current PG standards, and in the
beginning stages will be very slow. Place-holder files are being inserted
in the original file locations, directing user's to the new location. The
pointers on the PG search page are being updated as changes are made.
It should be noted that one of the primary benefits of the new file
system is that HTML files, especially illustrated HTML files, can now be
viewed directly online rather than having to be downloaded.
During the past week we processed the following ebooks per the 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
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.)

Project Gutenberg--Canada is now starting up!!!

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). 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 19 weeks of this year, we have produced 1793 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 1998 to produce our FIRST 1793 eBooks!!!
That's 19 WEEKS as Compared to ~28 YEARS!!!
With 12,700 eBooks online as of May 17, 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 $1.26 when we had 7803 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine ~12,500 books each costing ~$.45 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 12,700 eBooks in 32 Years and 10.50 Months We Averaged
386 Per Year [We do more per than that month these days!]
32.0 Per Month
1.05 Per Day
At 1793 eBooks Done In The 131 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
14 Per Day
94 Per Week
400 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:
FORRESTER SPEEDS UP TIMELINE ON WHITE-COLLAR OFFSHORING
Forrester Research says the export of white-collar jobs is happening
faster than it had first predicted back in 2002, but that its long-term
outlook for offshore outsourcing hasn't changed much since that report,
which estimated that a cumulative 3.3 million white-collar jobs would be
shifted to other countries by 2015. Forrester's revised numbers project a
total of 830,000 jobs offshored by 2005, up from its earlier estimate of
just under 600,000. Ironically, Forrester analyst John McCarthy says the
media's focus on the issue has encouraged more companies to experiment with
offshore outsourcing. "While the press visibility has spurred offshoring's
emergence as a political third rail, it has also fostered an increase in
overall offshore alternatives," says Forrester's revised report. (Wall
Street Journal 17 May 2004)

PANEL URGES MORE PRIVACY PROTECTIONS IN FEDERAL 'DATA-MINING'
The Technology and Privacy Advisory Committee, a panel created by
U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to scrutinize Pentagon programs in
the wake of criticism over the ill-fated "Total/Terrorism Information
Awareness" program, is urging Congress to pass laws protecting citizens'
civil liberties from overly intrusive federal data mining activities. "The
Department of Defense should safeguard the privacy of U.S. persons when
using data mining to fight terrorism," says the panel's report, which notes
that privacy laws lag far behind current capabilities in information and
communications technology. A key recommendation suggests federal agencies
should be required to obtain approval from a special federal court "before
engaging in data mining with personally identifiable information concerning
U.S. persons." Former FCC Chairman Newton Minow, who headed up the panel,
acknowledges that the proposals would "impose additional burdens on
government officials," but maintains that the requirements would improve
national security while enhancing personal privacy: "Good privacy
protection in the context of data mining is often consistent with more
efficient investigation." (New York Times 17 May 2004)

GOOGLE'S AD PLANS THREATEN 'BUSINESS AS USUAL'
Google is challenging the status quo in online advertising by
offering to pay its publishing partners for display ads only when users
click -- a move that has irked other online ad networks that maintain the
value of online ads lies in the number of eyeballs that see them (known as
cost per impression or CPM). "Google's making a public statement that the
only value of a banner is when it's clicked upon, and it flies in the face
of all the research done in the last five years that demonstrates the
impact a banner can have on brand awareness and purchase intent," says Dave
Moore, CEO of 24/7 Real Media. "Why shouldn't I get paid for creating the
step to the ultimate purchase?" As Google readies itself for its
$2.7-billion IPO, the move into display advertising makes sense, say some
ad execs. "Google's future revenue growth could depend on attracting major
brand advertisers, because that's where the money is," says the head of a
brand measurement company. (CNet News.com 17 May 2004)

GOOGLE TO SELL BANNER ADS ON OTHER SITES
Google has begun selling banner ads and other graphic ads, on a test
basis, for display on other companies' Web sites. The new ads won't appear
on Google's own site, though Google says that may change in the future. (The
company now sells only small text ads related to the content of a page on
its own site.) Google vice president Tim Armstrong says that advertisers are
moving away from cost-per-thousand pricing to a system that's much more
targeted specifically to most-likely customers: "The world of advertising is
getting more quantitative and data-driven," he says.

YAHOO: 'ALL (OR MOST) RETAILING IS LOCAL'
Yahoo thinks there's a lot of money to be made by linking Web surfers
with local retailers, restaurants, dry cleaners and other businesses.
(Currently, 20-25% of online queries have some local component.) Ted Meisel,
president of Yahoo's search engine subsidiary Overture, says: "We think now
is the right time to go after the local market. We are seeing users start to
look for local information and we see commerce opportunities in local
search... We are going to make it easier for advertisers to participate."
Yahoo senior marketing executive Cammie Dunaway says: "Yahoo is pretty
multidimensional. It is a great search engine, but it is much more than a
search engine." (Of course, Google is also busy adding features such as free
e-mail that will make it "much more than a search engine.") Yahoo's
marketing emphasis will be on major retailers and other large businesses in
a region, as well as the creation of a locator page for small businesses
that currently have no online presence. (Washington Post 13 May 2004)

COMMERCIAL SEARCH ENGINES THREATEN NEWSPAPERS' LIVELIHOOD
Newspapers face a greater threat of revenue erosion from online
local-search products than they do from online job listings like
Monster.com, according to a new study by The Neil Budde Group and the
Advanced Interactive Media Group. "For local publishers, which have already
been fighting the 'new monsters' eating away at their classified
advertising, this may be a far greater challenge than the first Internet
wave. Well-funded competitors like Yahoo and Google are only starting to
target the local market, so local media still have time to respond," says
study co-author Neil Budde. The report notes that local advertisers like
car-repair shops, plumbers and restaurants could migrate to local search
pages, leaving newspapers' bottom lines bleeding red ink. "The ability to
directly target advertising at consumers, and to determine exactly what
the response to those ads has been, gives local advertisers more power than
ever before to focus their spending where it works," says co-author Peter
Zollman. "Few local publishers have realized yet how this will endanger
their business, and even fewer have responded with effective local search
tools for their advertisers." (AIM Group news release 11 May 2004)

THE BIG SWITCH FROM LANDLINE TO WIRELESS
The Federal Communications Commission says that at least 2.8 million
U.S. consumers have moved their telephone number between wireless carriers
or between a wireless phone and a landline phone since November.
FCC chairman Michael Powell says he switched carriers for his work wireless
phone as well as for his wife and son and that he "was shocked at how well
it worked." (Reuters/USA Today 14 May 2004)

HISTORY CHANNEL USES VIDEOGAME TO REINFORCE ITS LESSONS
The History Channel's 13-episode series on "Decisive Battles" that
debuts July 17 makes use of a not-yet-released PC game to visually
re-create the epic battles that mark ancient Rome's colorful history.
"Rome: Total War" will be published by Activision this fall, but the
real-time strategy game already received accolades at last year's
Electronic Entertainment Expo, where it won an award for strategy game of
the year. The History Channel is betting that by incorporating videogame
graphics into its series, it will score points with younger viewers and
perhaps woo back some of the male cohort, aged 8-34, that reports spending
more time on games than watching television. In one episode, "Decisive
Battles" uses computer animation to provide an overview of the Battle of
Cannae, in which Hannibal and his vastly outnumbered troops completely
surrounded the Roman army using an ingenious crescent-shaped formation to
ensnare the Roman soldiers. Once trapped, the Roman legions were clustered
so tightly that they were helpless against Hannibal's infantry and his
Libyan spearmen. "We're pioneering something new in this series, and we'll
see how it evolves," says "Decisive Battles" executive producer Margaret Kim.
"The gaming industry is one of the fastest-growing, and it's likely that we'll
see more convergence between video games and programming in the future."

FEDS NO LONGER RECOGNIZING BOGUS DEGREES
Following an investigation by the General Accounting Office (GAO), the
federal government's Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has
announced a new policy of not recognizing degrees from diploma mills.
The GAO report identified several hundred federal employees, including
some high-level officials, who had reported earning degrees from
unaccredited institutions. Kay Coles James, director of OPM, sent a
memo to all federal managers stating that diplomas from degree mills
cannot be used in applying for any federal job, obtaining salary
increases, or receiving tuition reimbursement. The memo stated, in
part, "You may not send employees to diploma mills for degree training
or any other form of education.... You may not use your authority to
repay student loans if the degree is from a diploma mill." According to
the OPM, diploma mills are institutions that are unaccredited or that
award degrees with little or no coursework.
Federal Computer Week, 14 May 2004
http://www.fcw.com/fcw/articles/2004/0510/web-creds-05-14-04.asp
[Makes you wonder how many such degrees were already recognized]
[Aha!]
GAO FINDS FEDERAL EMPLOYEES WITH FAKE DEGREES
The General Accounting Office (GAO) this week released findings from an
investigation into diploma mills. According to the report, hundreds of
federal employees list degrees from diploma mills on their resumes, and
some employees used federal tuition funds to pay for those degrees. The
GAO found 28 high-level officials who have degrees from diploma mills
and 463 employees who list degrees from unaccredited institutions in
their qualifications. Data obtained from two unaccredited institutions
shows $170,000 in federal tuition funds used at those schools. The
investigation was ordered by the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), chair of the committee, started looking into
diploma mills two years ago. According to Collins, there is "clear evidence
that tax dollars are being wasted on bogus degrees from unaccredited
institutions that the federal government does not even recognize."

MEDIA LAB LAUNCHES NEW INITIATIVE [Consumber Electronics Lab]
Nicholas Negroponte, director of MIT's Media Lab, this week announced
a new initiative focused on Consumer Electronics and the technologies
that drive them. The CELab will not have distinct facilities but will
include research projects at both the Media Lab in Massachusetts and
Media Lab Europe, based in Ireland. Because the new lab will not
require separate physical space, it has the possibility to generate
significant income for Media Lab with very low overhead costs.
Negroponte said people will soon be "eating, wearing, and breathing
computers" and that the CELab will be instrumental in developing the
technologies that will enable this breed of consumer electronics.
Negroponte made the announcement to a group of executives from consumer
electronics companies he hopes will join CELab as members. Companies
that become members, for as much as $200,000 per year, will be able to
license intellectual property developed by the lab and to join the
lab's steering committee.

REPORT CALLS ON U.S. GOVERNMENT TO REOPEN SITES
A government-funded report by the Rand Corporation calls on the Bush
administration to allow Web sites and databases that were shut down in
the aftermath of the September 11 attacks to be allowed back online.
Thirty-six Web sites were taken offline, as were more than 600
databases, based on concern that they made available information that
could be used by terrorists in future attacks. According to the Rand
Corporation's assessment, however, none of the sites included
information that isn't available elsewhere, such as in textbooks, in
trade journals, or on maps. Of the 629 databases taken down, only 4
were found to contain information that the researchers saw as
warranting restricted access. The report was welcomed by critics of the
administration's handling of the situation following the terrorist
attacks. Steven Aftergood, director of the Federation of American
Scientists' project on government secrecy, said he hopes the report
"brings some rationality back to this policy."

PANEL CALLS FOR RESTRAINT IN DATA MINING
A federal panel has written a report that calls on the Defense
Department as well as other areas of government to institute strong
measures to protect civil liberties in the context of data mining.
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld appointed the panel, called the
Technology and Privacy Advisory Committee, in early 2003 in response to
criticisms of the Pentagon's data-mining program, the Terrorism
Information Awareness program. The panel's report, which is expected
to be released in about two weeks, says that although the goals of
data-mining programs are worthwhile, the government must take steps to
ensure that they do not infringe on individuals' privacy. The panel
also called on Congress, the president, and the courts to be involved
in efforts to safeguard personal privacy, as federal agencies sift
through databases with personally identifiable information, trying to
combat terrorism. Newton N. Minow, head of the panel and former
chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, noted that the
panel's recommendations would add a new burden of responsibility to
the government but said that the changes would enhance personal privacy
and ultimately national security. One panel member, William T. Coleman
Jr. filed a dissent, stating that the panel's proposals far exceed what
is required by the Constitution, federal laws, or former court decisions.

We will also be seeking volunteers from others of

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 18 weeks of this year, we have produced 1736 new eBooks.
It took us from 1971 to 1998 to produce our FIRST 1736 eBooks!!!
That's 18 WEEKS as Compared to ~28 YEARS!!!
With 12,643 eBooks online as of May 12, 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 $1.27 when we had 7803 eBooks A Year Ago
Can you imagine ~12,500 books each costing ~$.48 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 12,636 eBooks in 32 Years and 10.25 Months We Averaged
385 Per Year [We do more per than that month these days!]
32.0 Per Month
1.05 Per Day
At 1736 eBooks Done In The 126 Days Of 2004 We Averaged
14 Per Day
97 Per Week
408 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.
***Headline News***
[PG Editor's Comments In Brackets]
>From NewsScan:
TAPSCOTT SAYS INNOVATE OR DIE
Rebutting business analysts who preach about the "commoditization" of
information technology and says that IT doesn't matter anymore, technology
guru Don Tapscott rejects the commoditization thesis as just plain silly:
"In fact, nothing in the universe is as diverse as a byte of data, which can
carry information ranging from baby pictures to a digitally signed
million-dollar bank transfer. It's like saying that Shakespeare's works are
a commodity because he uses the alphabet just like everybody else." Tapscott
says that those who advise companies to spend less and suggest that they
follow rather than lead in technology are drawing a blueprint for failure;
his own prescription is: "Cut fat, not your company's nervous system.
Ultimately companies face a choice. They can innovate in IT -- a resource
still in its infancy -- to enable new business designs that help them
differentiate in the market. Or they can yield to the pressures and cynicism
of a difficult business environment. Punishment is already proving swift for
those who make the wrong choice." (CIO Magazine 1 May 2004)
http://www.cio.com/archive/050104/keynote.html
[Here is the story that one replied to:]
INFO TECHNOLOGY IS JUST ANOTHER UTILITY
Nicholas Carr rocked the IT world last year with his article
published in Harvard Business Review titled, "IT Doesn't Matter."
Techno-mavens such as Steve Ballmer hollered, "Hogwash!" but Carr has now
responded to his critics with a full-length book, "Does IT Matter?".
University of California, Berkeley professor Hal Varian says Carr's point
is well taken: "At one time information was so expensive and so difficult
to manage that companies could make large amounts of money simply by being
able to make systems work. (Think IBM.)" Companies that failed to manage
their IT assets suffered in comparison. But Carr argues that in today's
world, IT has become a utility, just like telephone service or electricity.
That may be true, says Varian, but that doesn't mean that technological
innovation stops -- "Once products become commodities, they can serve as
components for further innovation," says Varian. "In the 19th century,
American manufacturers created standardized designs for wheels, gears,
pulleys, shafts and screws. As such standardized parts became widely
available and could be purchased 'off the shelf,' there was an outpouring
of invention." Perhaps information technology is like those standardized
parts. Desktop PCs, Web servers, databases and scripting languages have
become components in larger, more complex systems. As these components have
become more standardized, the opportunities to create innovations have
multiplied." Varian ends by noting that companies cannot afford to ignore
IT, but should be thinking about how to use it to improve operations and
cut costs, and in the process open up new opportunities for innovation.

ASIA-PACIFIC TECHNOLOGY UPDATE
IT spending in the Asia-Pacific region excluding Japan should grow 10%
to $88 billion ($AU120 billion) this year, thanks to a recovery in regional
economies. This represents a sharp acceleration from the 3.4% growth seen in
2003, says industry research firm IDC: "Infastructure upgrades and business
oriented initiatives are driving IT demand for 2004." The director of
information technology spending research at IDC says that 58% of more than
3,000 company executives recently surveyed across the region plan to
increase IT spending this year. Only 2.5% indicate that their technology
expenditures will decrease. (The Australian, 6 May 2004)

EDUCATED (BUT UNEMPLOYED) IN INDIA
In spite of the fact that U.S. and European outsourcing has immensely
benefited India's economy (and although the country is now "shining,"
according to a government publicity campaign), there are still nowhere near
enough high-tech jobs to be had for a well-educated population. In the
Hyderabad area, about 60,000 jobs in information technology have indeed been
created -- yet many have gone to young Indians from across the country, even
though the region has 350,000 English-speaking graduates. The head of one
placement agent in Hyderabad says it's very difficult to place engineers,
because "no country has as many engineering colleges as this state." By the

AUDACITY, FUN, AND WORK AT MIT
MIT's new Strata Center -- which will house CSAIL, the Computer Science
and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory -- was designed by renowned architect
Frank O. Gehry to foster creativity and out-of-the-box thinking: walls lean
and tilt like stacked building blocks and staircases seem suspended in air.
MIT president Charles M. Vest says, "We hope that it's going to be a
building that will inspire people, make them think a little bit, and will
frankly show a little bit of the audacity and fun we have at MIT, as well as
the hard work we do." Architect Gehry, whose designs include the acclaimed
Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, admits that the building "does take a
step into another realm, of innovation, and a bit of a sense that it doesn't
take itself so seriously, as some modernism does. It tends to have a sense
of humor, and I think that is attractive these days -- I hope so anyway."
The building is packed with technology, including a holodeck that
researchers will use to create three-dimensional environments. (AP/San Jose

CHINA SHUTS DOWN 8,600 INTERNET CAFIS IN 3 MONTHS
Chinese authorities say they have shut down more than 8,600
unlicensed Internet cafis in the last three months in their latest campaign
to bring the communication channel under tighter political control.
Ostensibly, the crackdown is to protect teenagers from long Internet
benders playing combat games and the like. The case of two middle school
pupils in Chongqing, who fell asleep on a railway line and were run over on
March 31 following a 48-hour interactive gaming session, is being cited.
But preventing customers from gaining access to "unhealthy information
online" is also a concern behind the drive against unauthorized public
Internet venues, which was launched in February and will run until August,
says the agency that licenses Internet cafis. Preventing anonymous access
to the Internet from cafis has been one prong of Beijing's drive to squelch
the Internet's political power for the past 18 months, although the excuse
has always been the fire risk and protecting juveniles from abuse. (The Age

THE MENTAL HEALTH OF CHINESE YOUTH
China has shut down more than 8,600 Internet cafes in the last three
months, many of them for illegally admitting juveniles. The official Xinhua
News Agency warns: "Any such place allowing juveniles to enter or allowing
unhealthy information to spread through the Internet will face rigid, severe
penalty." The Chinese government agency for industry and commerce has
decided that Internet cafes that admit minors "have brought great harm to
the mental health of teenagers and interfered with the school teaching."
Last month an Internet cafe in the city of Chongqing was fined after two
teenagers spent more than 48 hours playing an online video game, then fell
asleep on a railroad track and were killed by a train. (AP/Washington Post 6

DSL INTERNET ACCESS OUTSTRIPS CABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME
For the first time, U.S. local phone companies have signed up more
high-speed Internet customers than cable companies have -- a sign of the
increasingly important role that broadband will play in telephone
companies' future profits. As many younger phone customers abandon their
wireline phones for wireless handsets, the phone companies say DSL has
become the hook that they can use to lure local service customers. "If you
can get DSL into the bundle, the customer will not leave you," says Verizon
CFO Doreen Toben. Cable companies had started the broadband access race
with a huge lead, outselling DSL 2 to 1, but with average rates hovering
around $40 a month versus DSL's cheaper $26, many customers are making the
switch. However, with broadband subscribers providing as much as 20% of
cable revenues, cable companies seem disinclined to compete with the telcos
on price -- a strategy that may spell trouble in the future, says a
Deutsche Bank analyst, who warns they must respond "in reasonably short
order." (Reuters/Los Angeles Times 5 May 2004)

[Once Again, SONY Takes The Narrow Point Of View]
SONY AIMS TO CONNECT WITH NEW MUSIC SERVICE
Sony has launched its Connect online music download service, offering
users a choice of more than 500,000 songs from major and independent record
labels. Like Apple's iTunes, the songs are priced at 99 cents per track,
with entire albums going for $9.99. The songs are sold in ATRAC3 format,
which will play on Sony's audio devices but are incompatible with iPods and
other some other digital players. By tailoring its music service to its own
brand of players, the electronics giant hopes that Connect will do for its
audio players what iTunes did for Apple's iPod. "Apple did an excellent job
in cultivating this new market," says a Sony spokesman. "We believe we can
expand the market to a much broader audience with a broader line of devices
and an easy-to-use service." (BBC News 5 May 2004)

AUTHORITIES TEAM UP ON HUNT FOR SASSER CREATOR
Security experts in the U.K. are teaming up with U.S. law enforcement
officials to track down the author or authors of the Sasser worm and are
investigating the theory that the creator is part of a Russian group
calling itself the "Skynet antivirus group," which also was responsible for
the Netsky e-mail virus outbreak. A message found in the code of a recent
Netsky variant claimed responsibility for Sasser, but the reasoning behind
this latest Internet assault is still murky. "With Sasser, the author seems
to be showing off his coding capabilities, but otherwise I have no idea
what the motive is," says Raimund Genes, European president of antivirus
group Trend Micro. And while Microsoft has yet to decide whether to offer a
reward for information leading to culprit, most experts agree if the
originators are linked to criminal groups, a bounty offer will have little
effect. "If the person doesn't disclose his identity, we will never know
the author of this worm or the author of those worms that have caused
global epidemics in the past," says Eugene Kaspersky, co-founder of
Moscow's Kaspersky Labs. Over the past six months, Microsoft has offered
three separate $250,000 rewards for previous outbreaks, but with no
results. (Reuters/Washington Post 5 May 2004)

SASSER CREATOR TURNED IN FOR THE REWARD
The German teenager who created the computer worm Sasser was identified
by acquaintances seeking a $250,000 reward from Microsoft. The young man was
arrested in the village of Waffensen, near Bremen, and appeared shaken by
the extent of the damage his program had caused around the world. He faces
charges of computer sabotage, which under German law could mean his
imprisonment for five years. If the teenager is convicted, Microsoft will
make good on its pledge for the full $250,000 reward.

'DEAR JOHN' NOTIFICATIONS SHIFT TO TEXT MESSAGING
Nine percent of Britons say they've broken up a relationship by
sending their partner a "Dear John" text message, and among the younger
crowd (ages 15-24) the figure rises to 20%. One 15-year-old said using text
to dump a boy- or girlfriend is common among teenagers because it's "easier
to talk by text." Meanwhile, about one in three British adults said they'd
sent a love note via text and 44% used the medium to flirt with a love
interest. For the suspicious-minded, cell phones have proven a new source
of potentially incriminating evidence, with 45% of women admitting they'd
secretly checked the messages on their partners' phones compared to 31% of
men. The numbers come from MORI, which conducted the poll on behalf of
Sicap, a messaging services provider based in Bern, Switzerland.

NEW MICROSOFT WINDOWS SECURITY FLAW
Microsoft has identified and released a Windows software patch for a
new flaw that could allow hackers to take control of a PC by luring users to
a malicious Web site and getting them to take certain actions there. The
security flaw affects the latest versions of Windows, including Windows XP,
and software for networked computers such as Windows Server 2003. A user
would be vulnerable to the security flaw only by visiting the attacker's Web
site and performing several actions there. (Reuters/USA Today 12 May 2004)

SONY INTRODUCES ONLINE MUSIC SERVICE
Sony has entered the online music market with its Sony Connect service,
joining ventures such as the relaunched Napster 2.0 and Apple
Computer's iTunes service. As with the iTunes service, whose songs
only play on Apple iPod devices, Sony's music service sells music in a
format that is restricted to Sony portable players. Michael Goodman,
analyst with the Yankee Group, said Sony's entry into the market is
late and that the company has to "play catch-up on two fronts, on
selling their audio players and getting people to use their music
service." According to Goodman, Apple's iPod currently controls 80-90
percent of the market for devices that can play legally purchased music
files. A spokesman from Sony Connect said the company believes the
market is still developing and that Sony "can expand the market to a
much broader audience with a broader line of devices." Sony Connect
offers more than 500,000 tracks that can be purchased for 99 cents per
song or as albums starting at $9.99. Sony Connect also allows users to
copy songs onto CDs that can be played in any CD player.

GLOBAL WARMING STRIKES GLACIER NATIONAL PARK
"Going to Glacier? You Should Hurry: The glaciers in Glacier National
Park are melting, and not at a glacial pace, but so quickly that
scientists from the United States Geological Survey predict that there
won't be any left by 2030. ..." New York Times 10 MAY 2004
"But one thing that's hard to see from anywhere along the road is a glacier."
The glaciers in Glacier National Park are melting, and not at a
glacial pace, but so quickly that scientists from the United States
Geological Survey predict that there won't be any left by 2030.
Sneaking a good peek at those that remain is a challenge to relish for
its sheer difficulty and the bragging rights that go with it.
"At one time, this was the place to see glaciers in North America.
In the late 1800's, 150 glaciers" were catalogued in the park.
"Today just 27 glaciers remain, covering about 12 square miles, many of
them so small they are tough to distinguish from surrounding snowfields."
"By definition, glaciers are moving chunks of ice that carve and shape the
landscape as they go.) You can glimpse the largest, Blackfoot Glacier,
and its offshoot, Jackson Glacier, which was split from it by melting
about 60 years ago, from an overlook on Going-to-the-Sun Road. But
most of the glaciers are hidden in small valleys."

STUDY EXAMINES GOVERNMNET WEB SITES FOR TERROR
WASHINGTON - The overwhelming majority of federal
Web sites that reveal information about airports, power plants, military
bases and other attractive terrorist targets need not be censored because
similar or better information is easily available elsewhere, a
taxpayer-financed study found.
The Rand Corp. identified only four Web pages that might merit the
restrictions imposed after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. It urged government
officials to consider reopening public access to about three dozen Web pages
that were withdrawn from the Internet in the name of homeland security.
"It's a good time to take a closer look at the choices that they made at the
time," said John Baker, principal author of the study that was funded by the
National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, the government's intelligence
mapping agency.
Advocates of open government said the report shows the Bush administration
acted rashly after the suicide attacks when it scrubbed numerous government
Web sites.
"It was a gigantic mistake, and I hope the study brings some rationality
back to this policy," said Steven Aftergood, director of the Federation of
American Scientists' project on government secrecy. "Up to now, decisions
have been made on a knee-jerk basis."

U.S. SHOULD REOPEN MOST WEB SITES SHUT DOWN AFTER 9/11
The overwhelming majority of federal Web sites shut down after the
Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks should be reopened because the sites pose
little or no threat to homeland security, according to a study by the Rand
Corp.'s National Defense Research Institute. The Institute identified 629
Internet-accessible "geospatial information" databases provided by 30
federal agencies that contain critical data about specific locations, but
only four of those -- two containing information on pipelines plus one on
nuclear reactors and one on dams -- were worth restricting. None of those
was available to the public anymore. In many of the other cases, the
information deemed potentially risky is available elsewhere, in some cases
in superior detail. "It's a good time to take a closer look at the choices
that they made at the time," says John Baker, principle author of the
study, which was funded by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the

OHIO TO USE E-VOTING MACHINES IN 31 COUNTIES
Ohio lawmakers have authorized 31 counties to switch to electronic

that by May 2006 e-voting machines be redesigned so that they issue paper
receipts confirming to voters the choices they made. Ohio's Secretary of
State will have the responsibility for making sure that those design
changes are made. (San Jose Mercury News 7 May 2004)

WHAT THE BLANK IS THE MISSING WORD?
An Irish graduate student and her research adviser in Luxembourg have
developed a computer technique for identifying words in a document that have
been blanked out for security or privacy purposes. The program counts the
number of pixels blocked out, then determines the pixel length of words when
written in the specific font used in the document, then reduces the number
of possible words to just a few by using semantic guidelines and the
grammatical context. The researchers say that agencies could foil the
technique by to using OCR technology to rescan documents and alter fonts.

WIMAX: A TECHNOLOGY IN SEARCH OF A MARKET
Known formally by its technical standard 802.16, WiMax is a muscle
version of the 802.11 wireless protocol that transmits Internet signals as
far as 300 feet to provide WiFi hot spots at coffee shops, airports and
hotels and for personal networks at home. Sean Maloney, general manager of
Intel's communications group, says: "We're facing an incredible next five
years. It's the broadband wireless era, as interesting as 1994-99 was with
the explosion of the Internet." A single WiMax transmitter could serve a
corporate headquarters, a college campus or even a city. But there are
plenty of doubters. Jeff Thermond of Broadcom Corp says "For all the places
with nomads and camels it's great, but WiMax is a technology in search of a
market." (Los Angeles Times 9 May 2004) http://tinyurl.com/yqj4r

=============================================================================
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.'

*** Continuing Requests For Assistance:
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
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,

*** 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)

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
publishers, who agree with librarians that the academic publishing
industry is not flawed.

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.)

Note: this listing best viewed with a fixed-width font, such as
Courier New or similar.

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.)
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
