GoldenEye 007 remake for XBLA is fully playable on PC

The remastered version of the classic Nintendo 64 game GoldenEye 007 for Xbox Live Arcade is never released because of licensing issues. That cancelled remake was developed by Rare around 2007--2008 and was nearly complete. Fortunately, there is a "leaked" ROM online of this remake, which is fully playable using the Xbox 360 emulator Xenia. 

Different from the 2010 full remake developed by Eurocom for Wii (which is now playable using the GameCube/Wii emulator Dolphin) and NDS, and the Reloaded version for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 (which is now playable using the PS3 emulator RPCS3), the XBLA version keeps the most original flavor and sentiment of the N64 version, and even allows you to switch between the new enhanced and the legacy graphics in game.

"Spamnesty is a way to waste spammers' time. If you get a spam email, simply forward it to sp@mnesty.com, and Spamnesty will strip your email address, pretend it's a real person and reply to the email. Just remember to strip out any personal information from the body of the email, as it will be used so the reply looks more legitimate.

Decentralized Cryptocurrency Exchanges

Why should I use decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges?
For Safety:
To reduce risks of fraud and hacking.
There are so many examples that a centralized cryptocurrency exchange service was hacked and user funds were lost, from the famous Mt. Gox hack, to the latest one of youbit hack, and other big ones listed here, here, and there.
For Freedom:
To avoid government control and ban of cryptocurrency exchanges.
For Privacy:
To avoid registrations and identity verifications.
As of today, most big centralized cryptocurrency exchanges, such as Bittrex, Poloniex are forcing users to verify their identities. Therefore, you will not only lost your funds but also your privacy once these exchanges are hacked.
