At least California, San Francisco, and Sonoma let their citizens view the documents without using digital rights management techniques. Not New York state, which boasts a DRM-enabled building code on the Web site of the International Code Council. The PDF files can’t be printed, probably because the ICC sells the code in book form for $105 a copy.

California’s Code of Regulations: only $3,288 for one year
One reason that city and state officials tend

Friday afternoon, Westergren issued a letter to fans asking that they call their congressman to voice their support. He signed off: “Thanks for helping Pandora survive.”

Time is running out on a bill that could pave the way for Pandora and other Webcasters to pay reduced royalty rates, as traditional radio broadcasters are now trying to kill the legislation.

Westergren said the NAB’s efforts to kill the bill is nothing more than an attempt to stifle the burgeoning Web

Also on Wednesday, former Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano was sworn in as secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.

Other items include: supporting an initiative to develop next-generation secure computers and networking for national security applications, and deploying secure hardware and software to protect critical cyber infrastructure; establishing “tough new standards for cyber security and physical resilience;” developing systems to protect trade secrets from bei

Telecommunications equipment maker Nortel Networks announced on Wednesday that it has slashed its business outlook and is looking to sell some of its assets as the economy worsens.

The company blames its woes on phone companies and large corporate customers, which have been cutting back on their capital expenditures more than had been expected. Nortel CEO Mike Zafirovski said the company is conducting a comprehensive review of its business. And he said it is looking for a buyer

The Chinese Ministry of Industry of Information, which expects Chinese telecommunications companies to spend about $41 billion on the next-generation phone equipment, has said the licenses are due to be issued by early 2009, according to the report.

Under a telecommunications reorganization plan whose creation delayed issuance of the licenses, China Mobile is set to receive approval for a network using TD-SCDMA technology, a standard backed by Beijing, according to a Reuters repo

With the funding, JS-Kit plans to make more hires beyond its team of 12 engineers as well as broaden its management team–DataPortability Workgroup organizer Chris Saad has joined the company as an advisor. The company also plans to hone its business-development strategy so that it can reach the magic “profitable” milestone sooner rather than later.

JS-Kit’s specialty isn’t gimmicky widgets, but rather low-cost add-ons for Web sites, like comments and ratings, that could otherwise b

McAlpine didn’t hit the big time, however, until the third aforementioned piece, “Large Hadron Rap,” which, in simple-but-not-dumbed-down terms, explains the particle physics experiments to take place at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, where McAlpine has been interning in various writing and communications capacities. The rap video–featuring her fellow CERN interns dancing in the gigantic particle accelerator some 300 feet underground on the French-Swiss border–has been viewed on YouTube mor

Swansea is not a city that every swan would choose as its home. Its average monthly temperature never exceeds 19 degrees Centigrade–yes, 66 degrees Fahrenheit. But its city council tries to make it a livable place.

The strange thing is that this is not the first time Wales has been lost in mistranslation. Cyclists between the Welsh cities of Penarth and Cardiff in 2006 were somewhat surprised to see a bilingual road sign telling them they had problems with an “inflamed bladde

Alertpedia is best utilized for those looking for information on an ongoing basis. Users can not filter their alerts based on travel dates, or set a specific price range for their Craig’s List searches. Most importantly, the results are not delivered right away.

There are very few ways to view job openings, book a vacation, or find that perfect home
