People wouldn't know WTF you were talking about if you were pronouncing it "id." I say ID. Like, can I see some ID young man? *shine flashlight*

Different meanings (this was the original that spawned some parody threads, therefore the Mods locked all of them (yeah, thanks Mods)

Yeah, but I see that ID won out. Why would you go by what some British TV station says anyway? THey call underwear pants... And they call trucks lorries. They might have been talking about candy instead of video games for all we know.

Their office is in mesquite, I can just call them tomorrow and ask. Hell, I don't work more than 30 minutes away from their office.

If you look past the first post, then you will see that the correct answer is in fact 'id', not ID, with proof.

You = pwned again :p

That's what I meant when I said I was wondering if I should invest.
I'm sure Doom3 will put a healthy bump in Activisions revenue for Q3 and 4, but I'm not that familiar with stocks for games publishers, so I don't know how violently the stocks swing from quartly earnings.

It might go up a few dollars at their next earnings report and then stabilize back down in the next quarter when their revenue drops again. Who knows? That's why I don't gamble.:)
