Amazon Makes a Profit

sofar writes: "Amazon finally makes a profit. Well, only $ 5mln, but maybe you can actually earn something on your stock now. At 1c a share it's no pension fund in Florida yet." I wonder how much of that profit represents 1-click licensing fees.

    Just heard the sad news on talk radio. Horror/Sci-Fi novelist Steven King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. Even if you never read his work, you can appreciate his contributions to Enron's lobbyists. Truly an American icon.

  6. AMERICA ATTACKED -- AGAIN by Lord+of+The+Trolls · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Terrorists have attacked the United States again.

    The White House, the Capitol Building, and the United Nations building are smoldering in ruins. Thousands of government officials are dead.

    There are reports of further attacks in Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, New York, Seattle, and Miami. Rumors are surfacing that the heart of Los Angeles was attacked using multiple 10-ton ammonium nitrate truck bombs detonated in multiple locations.

    President Bush and Vice President Cheney are believed dead in the White House destruction.

    Nuclear strikes have been launched by the United States military against the Phillipines, Iraq, Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, and Somolia. All of these countries have been hit by at least five Titan II ICBM's and millions are believed to be dead.

    Martial law has been declared and the media outlets have agreed under force to continue normal programming. Government officials who weren't killed in the attacks are now attempting to run the country from the bunkers under the White House.

    I suggest you all stop what you are doing and spend some time with your families, because quite frankly, World War 3 is upon us.

    More details to come.
