  1. Re:Hearts and minds on Future Weapons of War in the Works · · Score: 1
    It is amazing that the USA which did a very good job at stabilizing Germany after WWII did such a lousy job at taking those lessons into account when trying to stabilize Iraq.

    Could be a leadership problem... GWB is no FDR, Blair is no Churchill.

  2. Adding a fixed delay will not resolve the problem on Lip Sync Problems with New Digital Displays? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If you have a Samsung DLP and you are experiencing this problem, adding a fixed amount of delay does NOT guarantee a fix. The reason is that in Samsung DLP sets, the delay is intermittent. Often times it's barely noticeable (60 ms or less), but sometimes it spikes to as much as half a second. I used to have the Samsung HLN567W but I returned it before my 30 days guarantee was up. Picture Quality was great but the intermittent audio/video sync issue was driving me nuts. I first read about this problem (on Samsung DLPs) last August, I bought my TV last January, and apparently the problem still exists in new sets being sold currently. That makes this problem at least 9 months old... looks like the resolution is not easy otherwise Samsung could have fixed this a long time ago. With all the high tech circuitry being added to consumer electronics nowadays, regular consumers are now becoming beta testers for these consumer products too. Welcome aboard!
