Er... Considering Microsoft got Perfect Dark's license along with Rare's purchase, I think a simple "Perfect Dark 2" (or Perfect Dark X if you prefer) would be enough to make most people notice...:P
Cue Nintendo fanboys going "Ah, Rare wasn't so great anyway", when a few months ago they were saying "Well, Microsoft may have a more powerful machine, but they don't have Rare!"
You are deluded if you think Microsoft got ripped off.
Fact is, they paid 350+ million not for the talent that may still be hanging around Rare's headquarters - but for the licenses and name recognition that Rare comes with.
Banjo Kazooie, Perfect Dark, Jet Force Gemini... Hell, even their way old licenses like Battletoads and Snake Rattle N Roll could make an appearance for the Xbox! And even better(or worse, depending who you ask), they keep these licenses forever. It's golden for them. Xbox 2 with Banjo Kazooie X2 in launch day? Hell.
Microsoft did a smart thing. They may have paid more than a normal company would, but still a GREAT move.
My brother (17 years old) had an accident a few months ago that left him with no feeling below his stomach.
We live in Mexico.
We heard of a clinic in Cuba called the CIREN (www.ciren.ws), where we were told, they could help him recover a lot, perhaps even help him walk again.
Now we got a notice from a person who works in customs here, and he informed us that we should wait, that people whose passports are marked as having traveled to Cuba will not be able to enter the US... where my brother was receiving attention already.
Yep, the ol' 3 1/2 incher isn't going away anytime soon here in Mexico.
The current official tax paying program requires that you transfer the information from your computer to a floppy disk, and that's the way you deliver your annual(or monthly or bi-monthly or whatever) tax declaration to the government.
I believe it's also used in the government medical insurance plan. You deliver your insurance report in a floppy.
Common spam appears to be very personalized lately - Your name on the topic, some ad related to a website you visited *cough*porn*cough*, and so on. And they do not disclose the recipients address(which are probably in the thousands).
This article talks more about sending questions and the likelihood of getting the answers when people see a bunch of emails in the "to:" field.
Conclusion is, they just assume "someone else will answer" and go on with their lives.

Games, friendly set-ups (what the hell does "compile your kernel" mean?), and Graphics(2 and 3d) apps.

Anyone know if that's true?

Actually, it's Turok 4, and he seems to be sponsored by Acclaim themselves - They are providing a tent and a power cell and some videogames.
:D
Of course waiting for the game outside the store is ridiculous - maybe they should tell him about preordering
Uhhh... I know I shouldn't ask, but - What's the Chewbacca defense?
I'm sorry, but I'd like to comment that Warcraft 3 did NOT invent heroes. They've been done in RTS games for years in the Warlords: Battlecry series.
Oh, too late, someone has beaten you.
Wow, you really have no idea.
The people of the world do not want McDonald's.
Pretty imperialist of you.
Also, isn't Rome extinct?
Yeah! Also look at Operation First Blood and First Blood 2 - Return of Rambo.
