While I do use KDE4 daily, (I build from svn at least once a week, and submit bug reports), I would not call it extremely responsive. For example, clicking to the K to bring up the menu, takes over a second. Then clicking on any of the menu items to bringup the submenu takes about one second, every time.
NEVER go full retard!
I run a 1.6G amd turion64 x2 with 1GB of RAM. I have keyboard lag ALL THE TIME. What really sucks though is if my comp is busy, keystrokes get DROPPED.
Uh. no. I was volunteering at the Red Cross during Katrina and kept up closely with what was going on. While there is definitely blame to placed on the mayor and governor (and those that decided to ride out the storm because every other storm hadn't been a problem), FEMA royally screwed the pooch on Katrina. They did not do their typical job. They dropped the ball an a huge scale. The feds should be smacked upside the head for incompetency.
They also point out that Ogg has triggered no litigation to date even though it is very widely used. The same cannot be said for MPEG-licensed codecs.The W3C has expressed a clear intention to officially define video as an integral part of the web by introducing the <video/> tag. Up to this point, video on the web has been presented primarily using a fragmented array of proprietary extensions powered by encumbered formats. Those who cannot use them have been made second-class citizens. Failing to standardize on an unencumbered, reasonably-performing format is a failure to advance beyond this state.
"The MPEG-LA's own sublicense disclaimer warns that licensees are not protected from patent-related litigation nor are they protected from submarine patents.
If all else fails, lower your standards.
