Submission + - Apple: new version of iPrint... errr, CUPS 1.2.12
reprehendor writes: Mike Sweet, now an employee of Apple, just announced a new release of CUPS (1.2.12 figures are meaningful to you). It's still GPL2/LPGL2. No heaven broke down, no hell broke loose. Same developer, different paycheck; software, different address; same license, less bugs. Still compiles with GCC. On Linux. On Solaris. On HP/UX, AIX, *BSD. (Hey, maybe even Windows very soon, who knows?)
Submission + - Installing Vista: My Personal Hell (msdn.com)
daemonical writes: I wanted to install Vista at home, so I picked up my copy of Vista Ultimate at the company store and took it home. I've installed Windows on machines for over a decade, and I have no fear. I did make a full backup of my XP install, and I added a new drive so I could install Vista side-by-side and check it out without blowing away my XP install, just in case. My machine is a Dell Dimension 370 with 1G of RAM, pretty standard except I added a new SATA drive for Vista itself and I have an additional DVD drive (for region 2 discs). Its not a state-of-the-art-2007 machine, but it is reasonable and until very recently I was using an identical machine at work (with more RAM and disc) for all my development.

Submission + - Seattle's Great Rat Bones Mystery (pacsci.org)
An anonymous reader writes: Two young kids recently sent to Pacific Science Center some rat bones and asked that they be displayed at the museum. Turns out they will be, but the box they sent in had no return address, actually no address at all, and no postmark. The museum is trying to find these young geeks to let them know what happened to their tiny treasure. Perhaps the biggest mystery is how the U.S. Postal Service managed to deliver the box in the first place.
