Star Guard — an Old-School Platformer Done Right 107
An anonymous reader writes "Rock, Paper, Shotgun points out a new game called Star Guard, a Flash-based platformer for Mac and PC that's a throwback to the early days of computer gaming, yet still entertaining. They describe it thus: 'Its greatest strength, to my mind, is throwing out the old-school traditions of difficulty. It does certainly get tricky, requiring the platformer standbys of carefully timed jumps and learning enemy patterns — there's something of a Metroid vibe to it. But you don't get punished for failing to meet one of its challenges — you're just plunged a few feet back to most recent checkpoint, and carry on. Lives are not finite, but the small mound of green pixels that mark your corpses are a maudlin testament to your ineptitude. However, death is useful — I ritually found myself sending in a suicide spaceman, taking out an enemy or a mine so that the path was clear for my next go. ... However, it doesn't leave people who pride themselves on their gaming skill, and demand their games to be hard, out in the cold. At the end of each level, your score alters dramatically depending on how many times you died.'"

The two book shelves themselves are sorted by fiction, non-fiction, with the non-fiction sorted subject then author, and the fiction just by author, and this is mostly true for the piles in the immediate vicinity of the shelves, but has you move away from the shelves the system slowly of breaks down, until you get places like the kitchen, the bathroom, and the garage, where the piles are pretty much random, and of a course a small pile by the bed which are in reading order.

As the owner of a small Medical Device R&D company I can tell you that this is great news!
It is vary hard to compete with the larger R&D companies out there and searchengins are from $1000 to $10,000 a month.
There are engins that you can buy reports peice meal but they are $40 and up.
So if it really is free I am all over that.
