It said 2 billion years in the history of life (or since life started in the Precambrian). The End of the Permian is about ~3.5 billion years after Earth formed. That number in the article should have been ~3.5 billion year history of life, because when life started (in the Precambrian (Archaen age) ~3.8GA) as bacteria microfossils to the end of the Permian (~248MA), about ~3.5 billion year span has passed when this meteor probably hit Earth.
the US could have went into North Korea anytime after 1953, when we were pretty sure they didn't have their own nuclear weapons, and the Soviet Union wasn't going to use their own, but the US didn't "invade". It's because the population is too densly packed there, and too dangerous for our troops. BTW our knowledge pointed to Iraq having WMD at the time. But again like another poster said, that is another issue.
Wikipedia states: "U.S. troops suffered about 44,000 fatalities, slightly less than to the Vietnam War, but in a much shorter time."
GTA3 is not a new style of gaming. Maybe for you it was, but GTA3 is the same basic game as GTA1 and GTA2 except in 3D. Sad that the people being introduced to GTA series play GTA3 first and think it's something revolutionary.
"This is not a great day for spammers; we are putting you on notice that we will sift through the bogus identities, the compromised servers, the hijacked accounts, and we will find you and we will sue you. This is only the beginning."
This really does sound like they are describing terrorists.
I'm glad Microsoft, AOL, Yahoo, and Earthlink are able to put their differences behind them and work together for the greater good [their customers].
You can be sure after this, they will be backing up more than once a week.
This really reminds me of what happened to the MMORPG Shadowbane. "..teleporting people all over the world, teleporting hostile guards into the safe-holds, bringing in hordes of special event monsters, and teleporting everyone to a city at the bottom of the sea."
Hilarious! This is just the game I want to play, too bad it Hell will only last one week.
His first FF game was probably FF7, that's why he thinks it's the best. Anybody who knows everything about FF knows that FF2 and FF6 are superior to FF7.
If the parents were reponsible, they should know better than to let their seizure prone children play video games. There's a warning on the inside of every instruction manual. Note to parents: read them! Nintendo shouldn't have settled out of court the last time they were sued. That was like an admission of guilt for them. This time the case should be thrown out of court.
SVCDs as Christmas presents don't work very well when more than 75% of your friends don't have DVD players that play them, since it wouldn't be nice to expect them to sit in front of a computer to watch. Also it's just too cheap:P

Metal Slug 3 was ported to the PS2 though. I played it too.
