Freedom that comes at the expense of other people lives is wrong.

i hope we dont see similar event happen again.

more than 600,000 Iraqis (link) were killed in Iraq by 2006 as a result of American "liberation", including thousands of innocent children and women who have nothing to do with this stupid war on "terror". Who is going to pray for them? 3000 americans were killed on 9/11, you do the math... in any case, this was a crime against HUMANITY , a horrible crime... i will pray for the innocent.

yes... i cant believe this 7 years and still no answers.

yes 5mm, the gen is 2000M rated.

5mm thick, not sure about diameter. do you want to replace mineral with sapphire? I am looking for sapphire replacement crystal as well EDIT: just measured mine -31.5mm diameter. do you have a source for sapphire crystal of this size? i'd be interested in one.

John, you are wasting your time here.

I dont blame rockefellers, all blame is on people who think that they cant be wrong and refuse to take the blinds off their eyes.

"We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries." -- David Rockefeller at the Bilderberg Meeting in June 1991 in Baden, Germany, as quoted in the 1991 issue of the Hilaire duBerrier Report yes, i listened NPR show a few days ago about Saakashvilli, it was pure propaganda, they were trying to portrey him as innocent freedom fighter and how he loves american way of life. Boston globe article, when first news broke out blamed everything on russia. I am sorry, but this is no better than Fox news channel, and if you read the quote above you know why.

i agree, browsing experience is very good on 3G iphone much better than on TILT. i'd prefer real keyboard though, not touch screen.

you are the one who ignores my points and i dont really care.

these came out from the mit media lab i believe. i read some reviews, they seem to work ok. great for planes/travel.

lol. John, you need to take time off work and travel around the world for a few years, live in the countries aother than USA, may be your eyes will open then. Good luck!

Do you think they will stop after implementing RFID tags on the mexican border?? no, they will continue, the reason will be the same - war on terror & convinience for all of us. Stay tuned!

John, please quote me saying that. the videos i posted give people a different point of view about the way this world is operated. Rockefellers (or Rothschilds) are an example of what one single organization (family) is capable of doing on the large scale. the whole point i am trying to make is that people need to stop trusting the authorities 100% and develop opinions based on their own thinking and research. Recent conflict in georgia demonstrated how pro-USA media/propaganda can turn the reality 180' from truth and make the agressor (Georgia) look like poor innocent country that was invaded by Russia because of Georgia's desire to be a part of NATO. What we have now is 150,000,000+ people that hate USA even more, because of the decisions made by those at power and not in the interest of the nation as a whole. and i am sure neither you nor me or your neighbors wanted or approved such policies. this is the problem, the goverment no longer represents the interests of regular americans and something needs to be done. unfortunately upcoming elections will not change anything on the large scale, no matter which party is elected.

well, i bet 99% of the public have no idea that USA have been funding Georgia's millitary program for ~15 years, and now the fact that Georgia first attacked Ossetia does not make USA look good. I have not heard or read anywhere in the american news about USA selling weapons to Georgia, so yes, for most people it is new infromation.

Foreign Military Financing (FMF) official FMF website The principal means of ensuring America’s security is through the deterrence of potential aggressors who would threaten the U.S. or its allies. Foreign Military Financing, the U.S. government program for financing through grants or loans the acquisition of U.S. military articles, services, and training, supports U.S. regional stability goals and enables friends and allies to improve their defense capabilities. My question is why did USA provide so much money for military purposes in the last 15 years and very little for other "more humane" things??

John, when did i say that it was Rockefeller??? I do believe that there are people with money and power who have their own agenda, and who have their own vision how things should be in "certain countries and world in general ". Some people when they get very rich, just spend money on houses, cars, entertainment etc. they dont need nothing else; another category of people get hungry for power that comes with money, and when you have billions $$ you can do a lot of things. Now combine $ + hunger for power + some sick vision of the world for all of us ...

these years A8 is a money pit. expensive parts, expensive labor, problems with electronics and transmissions. if you are serious about getting this car go on audi forum and ask real owners. on top of your tax you'll need several grand a year set aside for repairs. good luck!!

it was not an unprovoked attack. What do you think russia should do when its citizens are getting murdered ?? just watch and hope that NATO would come in and calm down georgians??

USA got what they wanted - started another cold war against Russia and again innocent people paid for this (the way it usually happens in usa). The next enemy has been chosen... stay tuned: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26572450/ The Associated Press updated 7:53 a.m. ET, Sat., Sept. 6, 2008 MOSCOW - President Dmitry Medvedev said Saturday the war with Georgia has shown the world that "Russia is a nation to be reckoned with"

John, isnt this is what they are trying to do? Easy way to know who you are and where you go? What stops them from puting these readers anywhere they like "for your convinience"? Go ahead John, sign up for the program, LOL : Scientific American Magazine - August 21, 2008 If you live in a state bordering Canada or Mexico, you may soon be given an opportunity to carry a very high tech item: a remotely readable driver’s license. Designed to identify U.S. citizens as they approach the nation’s borders, the cards are being promoted by the Department of Homeland Security as a way to save time and simplify border crossings. But if you care about your safety and privacy as much as convenience, you might want to think twice before signing up. The new licenses come equipped with radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags that can be read right through a wallet, pocket or purse from as far away as 30 feet. Each tag incorporates a tiny microchip encoded with a unique identification number. As the bearer approaches a border station, radio energy broadcast by a reader device is picked up by an antenna connected to the chip, causing it to emit the ID number. By the time the license holder reaches the border agent, the number has already been fed into a Homeland Security database, and the traveler’s photograph and other details are displayed on the agent’s screen. Although such “enhanced” driver’s licenses remain voluntary in the states that offer them, privacy and security experts are concerned that those who sign up for the cards are unaware of the risk: anyone with a readily available reader device—unscrupulous marketers, government agents, stalkers, thieves and just plain snoops—can also access the data on the licenses to remotely track people without their knowledge or consent. What is more, once the tag’s ID number is associated with an individual’s identity—for example, when the person carrying the license makes a credit-card transaction—the radio tag becomes a proxy for that individual. And the driver’s licenses are just the latest addition to a growing array of “tagged” items that consumers might be wearing or carrying around, such as transit and toll passes, office key cards, school IDs, “contactless” credit cards, clothing, phones and even groceries. RFID tags have been likened to barcodes that broadcast their information, and the comparison is apt in the sense that the tiny devices have been used mainly for identifying parts and inventory, including cattle, as they make their way through supply chains. Instead of having to scan every individual item’s Universal Product Code (UPC), a warehouse worker can register the contents of an entire pallet of, say, paper towels by scanning the unique serial number encoded in the attached RFID tag. That number is associated in a central database with a detailed list of the pallet’s contents. But people are not paper products. During the past decade a shift toward embedding chips in individual consumer goods and, now, official identity documents has created a new set of privacy and security problems precisely because RFID is such a powerful tracking technology. Very little security is built into the tags themselves, and existing laws offer people scant protection from being surreptitiously tracked and profiled while living an increasingly tagged life.

is this DSN's unlumed dial?

one important thing. if you do order from china and your watch arrives with some problem you'll have to send it back to china + pay for it + wait another month or so to recieve replacement. So keep this in mind as well. Your "local" dealers may send you a replacement faster + no customs risk with them.
