   He did talk to customer support, and once in a while, I'd rather have a false alarm (keeping it to the level of information, rather than lawsuits) now and then, than something like this actually happening and kept under the radar.

    From what I know, Oman isn't that rich, just a little more well off than most of the developing world. GDP per capita US = 46k, Singapore = 36.5k, Qatar = 70k, Oman = 16k.

    I feel the web-specific stuff like frameworks, AJAX, etc., is a greater stumbling block, as many people are already familiar with general kind of programming through school/previous jobs.
