thank you all in advance

Both are correct. The first sentence is more formal, though.
Both are correct but the second one is less formal.
The first sentence is the grammatically correct form.
The second one is the incorrect one because it is incorrect to end a sentence with a preposition. In this case, the preposition with which you end is "with."
However, both forms are acceptable in spoken/conversational English.
Both forms are acceptable in written English, too.
What Guest and Franco said. Both forms are fully acceptable and grammatically correct - the first one is more formal, the second one is less formal.
Hmmm, I've always learned that ending a sentence with a preposition is grammatically unacceptable in writing compositions.
(And why do we have to write "I hate spam" in the little box down there?)

I don't know what weapons World War 3 will be fought with...
I would be tempted to put a comma after 'Know':
I don't know, what weapons World War 3 will be fought with?
Also, when you have ... : it signifies the sentence will continue.
A lot of British people use sentences that are not grammatical and words that are mispelt. However people using English as a foreign language usually make big mistakes, rather than small mistakes.
Often the important thing is to get your meaning across.
"I hate spam": is to prevent 'computers' destroying the Forum, and to discourage poeple using the site to advertise. I have seen other sites use more sophisticated devices along the same lines, to stop Spam.
