I have an InFocus LP725 (an LCD projector I believe), and I get a fair bit of image tearing from fast moving images (read games:), despite having selected 'always wait for vertical sync' on my video card (a Radeon 9700).
InFocus tell me this is a problem inherent to all LCDs, and that DLPs tend to be better.

Turing stipulated in the Turing test (TT) that the 'interrogator' specifically has the goal of trying to determine which of the contestants is human and which is the machine
Actually, this is not true (though it is widely misunderstood to be this, I'm not flaming you:). What Turing actually proposed was that there should be:
an interrogator
a screen
a man
a woman
The interrogator asks questions of either the man or the woman (but doesn't know which is which) in order to determine which is the man and which the woman. Both must pretend to be a woman.
Turing proposed replacing the man with a computer, and the test was to 'determine if the machine can fool you into thinking that it's a woman as often as a man can fool you into thinking that he's a woman' (Fogel, 2002).
This all seems to have been lost in the sands of time, but it is a far more clever test that the one we generally regard today as 'The Turing Test'.

Um... I just watched First Contact again (in preparation for the opening of Nemesis here in Australia) and that is almost EXACTLY what happens.
Your wish has come true!:)
Or that bit in Aliens (Directors Cut only, I think), where Ripley is sitting on a bench outside in a beautiful park with grass swaying and birds singing... only to find out the bench is real but the park is a projected image.

Can anyone pass on their experiences with this?
