OT - Just replaced an old 19 inch CRT monitor with a 20 inch LCD. The connection between the PC and the monitor is basic VGA in - VGA out cable. PC has a basic Dell video card (one year old) - whatever came with the standard machine. DVDs are playing fine, and subtitles on DVs are crisp as usual, but the words in a web browaer are blurry and almost illegible. Any suggestions on what needs to be changed to make the screen more crisp? I've looked all over Control Panel/Display and nothing seems to do the trick. Any suggestions?

During this period, Tehran broke one pledge after another and defied every international rebuke, as diplomacy led by France, Britain and Germany, alternated with unfulfilled threats of UN sanctions, to grant the Iranians precious time to forge ahead with its atomic weapons program. Tehran cannily prepared the way for its fateful step at Natanz Monday, Jan. 10, by calling it the resumption of the innocent-sounding “nuclear research.” Clearly, Iran is out of control. However, at the same time, Iran is nowhere close to having nukes. So what do you suggest we do?

How much you want to bet this guy was raised Christian, not Muslim? Synagogue Rampage Leaves 8 Wounded By Oksana Yablokova and Kevin O'Flynn Staff Writers A young man wielding a hunting knife went on a rampage at a Moscow synagogue on Wednesday evening, stabbing eight men, including an Israeli and a U.S. citizen. The attack, which witnesses, prosecutors and Jewish leaders called anti-Semitic, came a year after President Vladimir Putin expressed shame over a rise in anti-Semitism in Russia during commemorations at Auschwitz. The attacker, who had a shaved head and wore a leather jacket, shouted "I came here to kill! I came here to kill!" as he ran past guards into the Chabad Synagogue at 6 Bolshaya Bronnaya Ulitsa, near Pushkin Square in central Moscow, at 5:30 p.m. and stabbed worshipers, witnesses said. A secretary at the synagogue who gave only her first name, Tatyana, said by telephone that she was in the office and heard people screaming as the man stabbed them. The man was wrestled to the ground by the synagogue's chief rabbi, Yitzak Kogan; his son; a guard; and several worshipers, and they held the man until police arrived, she said. Moscow City Prosecutor Anatoly Zuyev said eight people were injured and that three were foreigners: the U.S. and Israeli citizens and a Tajik citizen. The chief rabbi's son-in-law, who is also a rabbi, was also wounded and undergoing surgery, The Associated Press reported. The injuries ranged from light to medium, but none was life-threatening, Interfax reported, citing doctors. The wounded ranged in age from 21 to 75 and were taken to Sklifasovsky First Aid Hospital, Botkin Hospital and City Hospital No. 33, Interfax said. Borukh Gorin, a spokesman for the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia, said the stabbings took place in a room near where evening prayers were about to start, the AP reported. Zuyev, who arrived at the scene shortly after the attack, said the suspected attacker was a 20-year-old Moscow resident and that he was being questioned at the nearby police precinct No. 83. Media reports later identified the suspect as Alexander Koptsev. Interfax said late Wednesday that after being questioned Koptsev was hospitalized at Sklifasovsky with unspecified injuries. The report did not say how the injuries had been inflicted but described them as medium. It was unclear whether Koptsev had been charged. Zuyev said investigators had classified the attack as "inflicting injuries out of ethnic or religious hatred," which under the Criminal Code carries a maximum punishment of 12 years in prison. Prosecutor General Vladimir Ustinov said he was taking the investigation under his personal control. Russia's chief rabbi, Berl Lazar, called Wednesday's attack a manifestation of fascism and demanded immediate action from the country's leadership, Interfax reported. The Israeli Embassy urged the authorities to ensure the security of the Jewish community in Moscow. The stabbings are the latest in a growing series of incidents apparently involving skinheads or racist groups in Russia. Putin acknowledged the problem of anti-Semitism for the first time when he attended ceremonies in Poland commemorating the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp. "Even in our country, in Russia, which did more than any to combat fascism, for the victory over fascism, which did the most to save the Jewish people, even in our country we sometimes unfortunately see manifestations of this problem, and I too am ashamed of that," Putin told the gathering of world leaders on Jan. 27, 2005. Earlier that month, a group of nationalist State Duma deputies had accused Jews of fomenting ethnic hatred and called for an investigation aimed at outlawing all Jewish organizations.
