Cheers. Time for a coffee and some perspective ;)

Fair points to both of you. I can only agree to disagree. Tye

I think we are saying the same thing in that Foxconn thread, just from different angles, sorry if I've stirred you up.

Trickson, I think Steevo summed mit up best: speak with your wallet. I agree, sending jobs OS has been the mainstay of gov't policy for some time and the results in AUS are as severe as in the US I imagine. I am not saying live in a wood cabin with logs cut from a stone axe, but that is...

It is difficult to not by "made in china", where possible I choose products that arer made in USA or Europe, or better yet Australia. Where I can't, I try to support organisations that work in 3rd world countries to undo some of the problems that I am causing by my consuming. Why do you have...

You don't need to hide, I'm not lambasting you, or didn't mean to. I'm just asking you to think before you make a choice. You don't need to of course, it's your choice. You can do something or nothing. Tye

Try re-reading that bit again rather than hide behind the simple defence of "your not perfect so your point is not valid" We all consume simply being born in a western country. Tye

indeed, all of the above is true. Yes, the difference between "need" and "would be nice to have" is difficult. It would be nice to have an i5 or i7 or one if the AMD hex cores, but I don't need it. I do enjoy gaming however and support organisation like Oxfam and Amnesty internation al and Red...

The next time you "need" to upgrade something, consider the real cost. Not just the price you pay on ebay or at the egg for the cheapest online quote. Consider what it cost someone in Africa to mine your crystal that vibrates in the new iphone you "need" to have. Consider the heavy metals and...

As suggested above, you need to rule out a whole bunch of issues. If you cant get another pc to try your card in and see if it replicates the problem, can you put another card in your computer and see if that still gets the same issue. Have you checked all the connections? Has anything...

Tier 2 is the most wonderfully balanced part of the game. I play up to tier 8 currently and still enjoy playing tier 2 games for giggles and challenge. If you just want a free 2 play change of pace, level up a tier 2 tank, any nation, get your crew some experience and enjoy! You will get all the...

Even same brand memory can have conflict errors if they are not "matched". I tried to add 2x1gb corsair dominator sticks to my 2x1gb corsair dominitor already in system. Problem was old set where revision 4 and new set where revision 5. Constant blue screens until I removed them and just bought...

So let me understand this. Hackers in game get a warning with the new patch. You posted a negative post and have your account banned? I am not sure I get the logic behind this. The complaints of rampant hacking and exploits has killed me and my clan from buying this game or bothering to put...

I hope the rest feel and act the way you do. People deserve payment for their work. I realise the desire to play it "right now" is a strong one as well, which I suspect may be the main motivator for many. Your comment too about "continuous patching" highlights a way for developers to help...

Not so sure how I feel about all this "I will down load it now and buy it later so that's ok" argument. If the game is really good, I might buy it straight up for $90 (aus prices). If the game is average but still worth a run through eg Crysis Warhead, I will wait for a while and buy at...
