Fedora 19 Schrodinger's Cat is isn't released

Fedora 19 Schrodinger’s Cat may have a name that suggests it’s both alive and dead, but there’s no uncertainties about its release — the finished Linux distribution is now available on Fedora’s servers. The oddly-nicknamed OS mostly improves content creation. It beats Microsoft to the punch on 3D printer support by including object design and printing tools; budding programmers will also like Node.js support and a Developer’s Assistant that simplifies learning new code languages. While there’s many more updates than we can list here, it’s safe to say that Fedora 19 is a big update for many Linux fans, whether or not they appreciate Schrodinger’s quantum mechanics. You can grab the new build and its release notes at the source links.

alt-week 8.4.12

Remember when we told you last week that we live in a strange world? Well, we had no idea what we were talking about. Seriously, things are about to get a whole lot weirder. High school is certainly a head-scratcher, no matter how old you are, but the mathematics of social hierarchies can’t hold a candle to the mysteries of the buckyball. And, if the strange behavior of the familiar carbon molecule isn’t enough for you, we’ve got an entirely new molecule to contend with, while the once-elusive Higgs Boson is getting us closer to unlocking the secrets of the universe. It’s all pretty heady stuff, which is why we’re also gonna take a quick detour to the world of human waste. This is alt-week.
