12/28 I don't think you can do this by accident http://www.courttv.com/news/2005/1213/garcia_ctv.html \_ He should have made sure that he was the heir of something rich and powerful before doing something controversial. \_ Ok, a guy does a BillClinton on a woman's dress, so what? There are worse things happening everyday and people still get away with it, especially the rich people. For example, an heiress kills a man, but gets only 60 days in jail even though she was found guilty. An heiress paid money for school assignments. Why single out this minor peccadile BillClinton wannabe? http://csua.com/?entry=38950 http://csua.com/?entry=40218 \_ I used to buy Vanity Fair a lot last year before getting on planes, and I was always reading about that Long Island scion who got away with chopping up a woman into parts and sticking her in a suitcase. \_ The only thing that causes this case to stand out is how out- rageous the alleged crime is. He hired her, then, while she's working at her desk, he ejaculates on her. Dude, seriously, wtf? \_ Actually, the part that made it stand out even more to me was that he then allegedly, "apologized and stated that he did not mean to do that." Ummm... did not mean to do what? That's pretty freakin' hard to do by accident. \_ Didn't mean to get any on her. \_ probably was trying to get it to go *over* her \_ Wait, is there DNA evidence? If there is, then this is going to become a He-said/She-said case; if not, why the hell is he even saying it was consensual? Didn't LewinskyGate teach people anything? \_ It's hard to believe there wouldn't be DNA evidence. \_ she called the cops three weeks later. \_ Hmmm.. well that certainly makes her story sound less reliable. \_ Everyone knows you keep cum stained clothes unwashed for at least 4 months for potential future impeachment purposes. |

12/28 Come on guys, murdering women and children? NOT Honorable. http://csua.org/u/eg8 \_ You're being culturally insensitive. \_ Go away, troll. \_ they need to teach muslims the power of forgiving. not every- thing has to be eye for an eye. hopefully this gives fuel to us Westerners as to how ruthless these people are. \_ I think this has more to do with "third world" than Islam. |

12/29 Damn, I can't believe I need a prescription for my fucking pet Are there any Mexican Vet Pharmacies online that will sell me some .8mg levothyroxine pills. - can't get throught the spam. \_ Unless you're opposed to prescriptions for humans, you have taken an inconsistent position. Many of the medicines prescribed for pets are the same as those used in humans, especially painkillers. If you think they should all be available over the counter, fine. But you can't just expect stores to sell prescription painkillers over the counter with a label that says "only for pets" and expect that to work. \_ And yet you can buy a lot of medicines at a farm supply (including some medicines a human would need a prescription for) that would require a prescription for, say, a dog. When a farmer needs to treat 1000 cows/chickens/whatever he often treats them all and without a prescription. The problem with shopping at a farm supply is that the concentrations are often too high to dose a single pet. \_ The law, much like life, is inconsistent. Deal with it. \_ Can't believe? First pet? \_ My cat might have this, too. What were the symptoms of your pet? \_ sounds like his pet is hypothyroid, so it'll probably be lethargic, tired, overweight, and slightly cold. \_ Why don't you just go to the vet. considering you know that your pet needs levothyroxine, I'm assuming you realized this because a vet told you. \_ http://www.inhousepharmacy.com/general/eltroxin.html |

12/29 Motd gadget guru, I would like to get a noise cancellation headphone for use on airplanes and commutes, should I go with something like Sennheiser PCX 250, or Shure E2/3c? The Shure is more portable, how well does it work in airplanes? Thanks. \_ Related question, are there any noise cancellation headphones with volume control? My Dad would be interested in such a thing. \_ I haven't tried noise-cancelling headphones, but I do have Shure e2c-s. The e2c-s are good for blocking out quite a bit of noise, but airplanes are still loud enough that a lot still gets through. I've hard that noise-cancelling headphones are good on airplanes. \_ BTW, I've heard that the e3c-s are generally much better than the e2c-s, although I don't know how they fare on airplanes. \_ Shure E4C has gotten great reviews. havne't tried it yet. Have tried the much cheaper philips SBC HN050 and its quiet enough. \_ I use the Etymotic ER6-i on BART everyday and it is a godsend. You can still hear the train but it is much quieter so I don't feel like I need to turn the volume up to 11 (usually more like 2-3). \_ I have a Sennheiser PCX 250. Don't get it. It has too many wires for any pratical use other than sleeping on the airplane. The actual noise cancelling mechanism is great. but I've pulled the wires too many times that I need to get it fixed. \_ I am also looking for a noise-cancelling, bluetooth headset. any recommendation? \_ I have a pair of mid-range Shure earbuds. They cancel noise. They are very uncomfortable. Get anything that actually covers your ears. -John \_ I've compared my friend's Etymotic with my Shure E3c and the Etymotic has noticably better sound quality. The soundstage and detail was definately superior. Having said that, you have to keep in mind what you are buying these for. The Shures are much more efficient, and played comfortably at volume level 3 on my mp3 player where the Etymotic had to be run at volume 9-10 for equivalent volume. I use my Shures primarily to block out the noises from the surrounding cubicles at work, or while out and about. The Shures were good enough for me soundwise, more comfortable, and I like to think they'd conserve more battery power due better efficiency. They are still better than practically all other earbuds out there, but they just sound a little flat next to the Etymotics. I've found that sponge earbud inserts are the most comfortable for me, and sponge earplugs (like the kind you can usually find in any datacenter) with a hole punched through them (I used a uniball pen) work great as cheap replacements. -rollee |
