I was wondering about your name for a while. PCC? Been there a couple times.
My wife is from Kaneohe. She's AJA.
And, no, I'm not Mormon, but that was a good line.

Considering Denver, Colorado, is called the "Mile High City", I would classify the state in the Mountains region. Midwest is mostly farm country.
I should add: IAMAD.

No, they must try to make a profit, if that is what the corporation is for. Not all are. But the specific wording I objected to was:
They're publicly traded which means their every thought must be about how to make more money for the shareholders.
There is nothing saying that larger profits are the only thing a corporation can think about or focus on. If that were the case, every time a corporation gave to charity, or used company resources (money, vehicles, personnel, publicity, etc.) to sponsor an event, they would be sued by the stockholders for ignoring their fiduciary duty.
So, no, the fiduciary duty of a corporation, and its directors, is not simply about making as much profit as possible for their stockholders. The court case that settled this, and that people refer to without having read it, basically states the exact opposite of kelemorv4's claim. Your definition of fiduciary duty is simply that, a definition of a term. Not how it is applied in the business world, or in all the countries with their own differing laws.
Can you make it taste like something other than coffee? Something that isn't beer, because I don't drink beer either.
Can you make it taste like lime jello? I like lime jello.
Until they reinstate Pluto as our ninth planet, I'm going to call all those things meteorites. Just to stick it to da man.
I think it was Peru. Large amount of arsenic in the ground.
And you've read every one of them, just to verify your conjecture?

Do you think we should be guaranteed money every month just because we want to create a game?
If you want to do something that doesn't make money, than learn to live without money.
They're publicly traded which means their every thought must be about how to make more money for the shareholders.
Why does this FUD still get mentioned? It is bogus misinterpretation of a court case. Please stop repeating it.
You answered your second question already. You write the indispensable business software first, then with all the money you earn, you support yourself while you write the next video game of the year.
Ad hominem attacks are all the rage on Slashdot lately.

Come now, not all lawyers are shysters and scumbags. It is only a small group of them that make the other 5% look bad.
