Apple Licenses CUPS

bmeteor writes: "Short and very sweet: CUPS is licensed by Apple. A boon for both Apple and GNU." CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) is a system based on the Internet Printing Protocol for standardized printing on Unix systems. That's nice, but when can I print over the network to my Epson inkjet, like I can in Mac OS 9 with USB Printer Sharing?

    This early post for Eulalie!

    I dwelt alone
    In a world of moan,
    And my soul was a stagnant tide,
    Till the fair and gentle
    Eulalie became my blushing bride--
    Till the yellow-haired young
    Eulalie became my smiling bride.

    Ah, less--less bright
    The stars of the night
    Than the eyes of the radiant girl!
    That the vapor can make
    With the moon-tints of purple and pearl,
    Can vie with the modest
    Eulalie's most unregarded curl--
    Can compare with the bright-eyed
    Eulalie's most humble and careless curl.

    Now Doubt--now Pain
    Come never again,
    For her soul gives me sigh for sigh,
    And all day long
    Shines, bright and strong,
    Astarte within the sky,
    While ever to her dear
    Eulalie upturns her matron eye--
    While ever to her young
    Eulalie upturns her violet eye.

    Printer sharing? What version of OS X are you using, anyway?



    Then again, it doesn't matter, because we should all petition Apple to buy BeOS from Palm as a replacement for their bloated sack of crap, OS X. Wait, that was the rumored plan up until the day they announced OS X. My bad.

    I noticed the OS X like logo and background on where I'm typing my comment. Is it always like that or just on Apple stories?

    Has anyone else just noticed the slashdot Aqua theme, or am I slow? Looks nice. The slashdot "theme" probably could use a little update itself as well.

  9. Aquarium discovers two GAY PENGUINS by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Officials at the New York Aquarium finally realize that the most dedicated couple in the penguin enclosure is a pair of males.

    Wendell and Cass would be more comfortable in a Greenwich Village one bedroom apartment than their current home at the New York Aquarium.

    The male penguins, each about 14 years old, can't get enough of each other. The couple has been together for the past eight years, and the two have sex with each other whenever they can, which is often.

    Presumably penguins can tell the guys from the gals, but aquarium officials apparently can't. For years they thought the pair was one of each. The truth didn't come out until aquarium staff carried out a blood test.

    Angie Pelekedis, a spokeswoman for the aquarium on Coney Island, said: "They're one of the most dedicated couples in the penguin enclosure."

    Penguin keeper Stephanie Mitchell added: "I was only seeing one mate with the other, but then one of the other keepers saw it happen the other way round so we did a blood test that proved they were both male.

    "Cass tends to be a rather aggressive bird. Wendell is very nervous; always has been. He's on edge all the time. They're currently in a dispute with another couple over their nest. It seems to be one of the most desirable places in the penguin enclosure."
