I'm not sure why you're against Shoot'em Ups, unless you mean something more along the lines of First or Third Person shooters. Or more specifically, a game that involves violence by or against human beings. Or are you including any kind of shooting at all? Shoot'em ups are just dodge'n'shoot games, generally 2-D space games with crazy numbers of enemies and firepower to dodge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoot'em_ups

Windows Vista Enters Extended Support 330

yuhong writes "On April 10, the second Tuesday of April, Windows Vista will exit Mainstream Support and enter Extended Support. This means that no-charge (free) support will end, no further service packs will be created, nor will future IE versions (such as IE10) be available for Vista. Also, no new non-security hotfixes will be created or be available without an Extended Hotfix Support Agreement (EHSA). This will last for 5 years before support for Vista completely ends in 2017."

Solar races were going on in Australia back in the late 80s, back when I was still in engineering school. There was a PBS documentary on it (Nova?). There was some fuss because one of the cars used some kooky circular air sail as the prime mover, rather than solar generated electricity.
