It's a <I>guy</I> thing, dating from those sandbox days when such declarations were not only socially acceptable but expected of us: Mickey Mantle could run the bases faster than Whitey Ford, the Chevrolet Corvette was cooler than the Ford Mustang, Jimmy Page played faster than Jeff Beck, Superman was stronger than Batman. (Women, those devious serpent-hearkeners of Old Testament fame, are for once blameless: They <I>never</I> argue that Charlotte Bronte wrote better tea-drinking scenes than Jane Austen, or that Hugh Grant looks better in a powdered wig than Daniel Day Lewis.)

Fossil hailed as missing link in evolution is not even close relative

Ah something to mull over while bored on a Friday; I believe in evolution but I seriously feel scientists have a heck of a lot more to learn, and just maybe when considering the unimaginable high improbability for the creation of life, there is also an element of intelligent design and chance-probability/randomness does not exist.

Hey, how about a hate crime bill for the rest of us?

How come if certain types of people get attacked, it's only a regular crime, while if other types of people get attacked, it's a special "HATE" crime?

Same beat down, either way, but one beat down is more of a crime than another?

Bullshit.

Aren't we all entitled to equal protection? Especially from physical attacks? My body being attacked merits less punishment than another person's?

What if someone hates middle aged fat guys and attacks me solely for that reason?

Recommend a great DAC for an Apple MAC Mini for around $1000.

Just bought my first MAC Mini to mainly use as a media center. It will be in the living room. Connected to the flat screen TV (not purchased yet) and the stereo.

I have a large file of music (1000s of CDs ripped into iTunes) and want the best sound quality. I like the idea of being able to convert files up to 192 because new true high def versions of albums are just starting to become available for download/purchase.

I have a great stereo (B&W nautilus speakers and other great gear) and want an outboard DAC.
