  5. i don't mind on More Online Publishers Inching Toward Paid Content · · Score: 4, Interesting

    i think online media is cheaper than the printed media, and more environment friendly as well. and if if we have to pay a little bit to get online news, it is not that bad.

    So, what is wrong with paying a little bit money to read the news that your own leisure

  6. not without a fight on FCC Supports Neighborhood Radio · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ClearChannel will not let go without a fight.

  23. Sun's Java Desktop will help on Desktop Linux Share Overtaking Macintosh · · Score: -1, Informative

    Sun's Java Desktop, which is based on Linux kernel and Suse Linux, will only help to increase the share of the Linux Desktop.

  25. Sun Java Desktop on Trivial Barriers to Personal Linux Use? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Check out Sun Java Desktop System. It is a OS based on a Linux kernel and Suse Linux.
    Though you won't be able click and install applications, like one would do on a Window box, but Java Desktop System is a very close to it.
    I think Sun Java desktop introduced a happy medium. Making it too easy to install software, increase chances of getting infected by a virus, worm etc.
