You do realise that when a company starts manufacturing in developing countries, it's because the people there are so poor that they'll work for really low wages, right? No company would do that out of charity and pay the workers normal wages, because they'd go bankrupt very, very quickly ...

Re:
The reason why the other countries in the world badmouth your country is because your country hardly does anything to help poor foreigners. Somehow, restricting the amount of donations you send isn't going to help that reputation.

The game will bring your system to its knees. There's no doubt about that. I have an Intel Q6600 overclocked to 3.6 GHz and an Nvidia 8800 Ultra overclocked to 660 Mhz (memory @ 1200 Mhz). I get ~22 f/s at the \"high\" detail settings--and it's just barely playable at that.

Dubya has been spoiling for a fight with Iran ever since they stopped accepting payment for their oil in U.S. Dollars. Saddam Hussien comitted the same sin.

Yes, Vista is a memory hog. But it also opens the doors for more memory. Having 128GB of memory in Vista is better than 2GB in XP. (Or in my case an easy 4GB when I feel I need it.)
Bah! I run 64-Bit XP with the same memory access capabilities as 64-Bit Vista but without all the baggage ...

I've sold a few guns through Guns America. You might get a better price for them because of the bigger audience. You will still need an FFL dealer to do the transfer paperwork though. They have a database search of dealers so you can find someone locally to handle that.
