In a recent article, BBC announced the beginning of the MS Windows 7 public test. Among the features supposed to be present in this version of Windows is faster shutdown. This is something Microsoft promised many times in the past. This time I believe they will definitely achieve it as they “were able to shave 400 milliseconds off the shutdown time by slightly trimming the WAV file shutdown music.”

Do we really live the most peaceful times?
Steven Pinker seems to believe so. You can see the video of his talk here.
This idea is also investigated in his book The blank slate. Maybe it is about time I read it.

Hello world!
Last week I have decided to change my hosting company. Reasons? … too expensive, no database, too little space … and no Ruby on Rails support. So all I can say for the moment is Welcome to my new super duper blog. The previous entries are no longer available, but hopefully some of them will be restored. While I am moving my site and making everything working you can enjoy my photogallery.
