Pathetic troll. Take it to the OTF and actually learn something.

First I than no troll. First only the UN have the legal right to declare war as the UN Chater state so clearly which is an treatry and all treatry become part of our constitrution which is why congress never declare war on Vietnam as they donot have the constitrution right to do so anymore. An how old are you younger. I than 53 year old and remember the Vietman era well as I grew up in it.

CharlesBHoff I won't bother to chastise you, but you do not know what you are talking about.
I enlisted in the Navy and went to bootcamp in SanDiego on 2/1/63. I spent 5 1/2 years in the Navy and got out in Oct 1968.
Do those years mean anything to you? I am pretty sure I know all about Vietnam. I was stationed at Point Loma in 1963 when JFK was heading to see us and was killed. I will not forget the fact that I was stuck in the barracks that weekend and they would not even let us play cards, out thier perception of respect. I never understood that crap. As to young, I do not think my grand daughters consider me young, so I have no idea what too young is to you.

The reason the term of pathetic and troll was used is that you are fond of posting political stuff in the general thread, instead of OT. Some people find that offensive and rude. No matter which side you take.

I think Quake 3 may be released soon

Did you mean Quake 4? Quake 3 was released in 1999 or 2000.

Back on topic... (well, sort of)

Why should you feel responsible for this? Wouldn't that means you gave them MORE money?

Cut the OTF discussion... Next time I see you pull a stunt like this in an On Topic thread, you're toast!

[Kuciwalker]

What's sad is that his posts are even more pathetic than savatroll's or MOBIUS'

luckily, there is a solution:

This person is on your Ignore List. To view this post click [here]

back on topic, I don't see how this is a problem at all. It'll likely all be made up during xmas season, and conquests can't hurt.

Charles:

A quick lesson on the law: Bush did not commit purjury; and the reason is simple. In order to comit purjury one would have to knowingly lie when giving testimony or during a deposition. Since Bush's statements were either made at public speaking engagements or at the UN; it would be incorrect to state that he committed purjury regardless of whether or not he lied. I am no fan of Bush, but have your facts straight before posting Finally the US did not give up its soverign rights to declare or wage war when it joined the UN.

As for Atari losing money: what a pity; a crocidile tear for infogreed..... oh, right Atari.

[Shogun Gunner]

I'm sure Atari's numbers will be much stronger in fourth quarter (obviously based on C3C sales). Also, they may restate earnings or expenses for other reasons which would revise the 2003 Fiscal year results.

It seems that Conquests is selling well, I hope someone posts some sales/revenue numbers when they are released. A strong revenue stream would encourage another investment into this franchise.

One more time folks... stay on topic... not politics

[CharlesBHoff]

Post the annual Stockholder report as I donot believe that they lost real money they might have paper lost like the cab company example I talk about above which some of you just cannot understand something that simple. It simple some asset must have their value lower each year you keep them untrill you replace then. The value must be lower to zero useing standard accounting practive. Since lower than value of than asset is than credit operation you need to post than debt operation to balance it. You cannot post than debt operation like this 99.9999 % of time on the liabilties and retain earming side of the balance sheet. There is only one other way to post than debt tranaction to balance the credit that is to post it as than expence like postal expense to buy stamp, and etc. This isnot than real expence as you donot write out than chech to pay it to somebody it is only than paper entry to balance the book. Have you ever wonder how taxis companies stay in bussien year after year with huge paper lost and why some wealth people invert in taxis companies. The lost are rarely real but only on paper.

CharlesBHoff:

Please explain then in your immensely realistic taxi company example, how you can make a cash profit of 4 million, but a net loss of 16 million.

You've said that you have 20 million of non-cash expenses. What are these? Depreciation? If so, then the 100 million you have invested in taxi cabs will be depleted in 5 years, and though you have made 4 million cash per year, you have lost your initial 100 million investment, which will be reduced to the scrap value of 100 x 5 year old cabs.

Well than billionair can own than taxis company an run it in away that it make money yet it pay no taxes. Non-cash expence is any expense that doesnot need to be pay for.
Goodwill is than other non-cash item on than balance sheet as is the value of copyright, patsons, painting. It very hard to figure what goodwill is worth or what than painting is worth.

Than the examle I make up isnot real but show the princple that than report lost can be no lost at all it view than certain way. I donot count most inventorie as current asset or at they full value. Than billion dollar worth of electronic hardware can be worth very little it if have to be sale at firebarn price to raise cash to meet debt or if is out of date an worth near zero in value.

First rule of how to make money as a French company:

1) Leave France.
