Accountability, but at what cost?

Finally some accountability. But it has taken a terror drama as vivid as what happened in Mumbai for Mr. Shivraj Patil to spell out that he takes moral responsibility for all that has happened. I think he should address the nation and apologize for what has happened. Is it really not possible to instill a sense of responsibility in politicians? Is it the fact that nothing can be done to them for the 5 years they are in power which causes this? May be we will be better off, if capability decides who gets to be in the cabinet rather than loyalty.

First interaction with KDE4

After installing KDE 4.0, this is exactly what I felt! Looks like one needs to wait multiple releases before moving towards KDE4.Luckily Hardy Heron will have both KDE3.5 and KDE4 flavours to chose from.
