You should find it men. BG is a peice of sh*t in compare with Fallout. Fallout 1,2 are perhaps the best games ever and for sure are best RPG ever.

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but isn't 125 F is a warm water? I guess it's about +40C. If so it's not a big deal, we have very hot summers too.

90F is warm. 100F is hot. 125F is scalding. Boiling is like 210F or something? I prefer metric anyway. Though i dont know the temperature system well, I got meters and kilograms down!

A quick search on the net tought me that
Tc = 5/9 (Tf - 32)

So, 125°F is ... computing... 51.5°C
100°C (boiling water) is ... 212°F

Dry,
Nice to see you again.

Thanks for your search.
EDIT: Eli, thank you very much that you pointed on my ignorance.
EDIT: Please inform me if I'm wrong again.
[T/J]Kramerman,
How often you have such hot temperature in Texas? The most hot temperature which I remember in my home city was a couple of years ago and it was +46C=114.8F. And it was damn hot. Usualy we have about +30C=86F at summer. [T/J]

Ok. It's very constructive suggestion. We have many common. Let's do it.

Got spare money?

Excluding a nuke fight...

The USA would win hands down. The Military-Industrial capacity of the United States is completely unmatched along with our technical capability.

Canada and Mexico would be pushovers, and any attempted land invasion of North America would easily be surpressed by the unbridled might of the American Navy and Air Force. Any countries stupid enough to "gang up" on America would be brutally tought a lesson from what would become not just one B-2, but hundreds, and not just one F-22, but thousands. With our already 100+ world class Nuclear Submarines, we would have total control of both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Once all the gang-bangers had been severely dealt with, and soundly defeated, the U.S. could smash each and every other country at will. Not necessarily from the ground either... a simple aerial assault from the U.S. would be enough to send most countries into the stone age.

Don't even balk at what I'm saying. No country in the world can field the amount of long-range firepower that the U.S. can. The E.U. doesn't even have one long-range bomber save England (I think they gave theirs up in favor of subs). And Russia? Their fighters and bombers would never make it over here in one piece. (If the U.S. went to war with Canada, the first thing secured by U.S. commandos would be the NORAD radar and early warning installations).

Not to mention that every country in the world is entirely outclassed by our ability to wage war in the vacuum of space.

Any argument to the contrary of what I have said is just wishful thinking.

And you know what the great thing about the USA is? When it was all over, we'd probably help all the other countries of the world, who had fought against us, rebuild utilizing our manpower and charitable donations.

Depends on when WWIII starts. Right now, I'd say China has the largest army, but it isn't up to U.S. standards (hopefully) and their navy isn't much of one. They've got the numbers in their favor, but I'm sure we can level the playing field with technology.

Most of it is also dependent on who is against who. ME vs. Western World? Barring a desperate nuclear/biological/chemical attack, they wouldn't stand a chance. Of course, Saddam starting talking about the "Mother of all Battles" or something after Desert Storm, and has been building a nuclear/chemical/biological arsenal.

Of course, we may have uprisings in America by the people who finally see their chance to overthrow the U.S. government. Well, I've got my rifle ready.
