		<description>I have a Cintiq 21ux (newest model) that, frustratingly, has two stuck red pixles, and today got additional stuck pixel that was flashing random colors.

These gifs did not fix the red-only pixles, BUT!

The rgb5.gif worked 100% to fix the flashing pixel, once I ran it for about 10 seconds and gently pushed on it - it&#039;s gone now! Not sure if pushing on a Cintiq actually does anything because of the hard screen covering, but the pixel went back to normal instantly after I did.

Thank you!</description>

		<description>Hey, just but myself a acer aspire netbook 10&quot;. Fired it up and KABLAMMOOO a blue pixel appeared in the top-middle of the screen. Believe me if you have got to work with 10&quot; one stuck pixel is pretty anoying. I tried some online vids for it, also tried UDpix. But didn&#039;t help. So i&#039;ve send it back. It came back from the company with a note &quot;It&#039;s fixed&quot;, That&#039;s all it said (can you believe that). I fired it up yet again there my nemesis was, brilliantly shining on the top of my screen. I am gonna try your solution, hope it helps. But massaging the screen? Isn&#039;t that a little dangerous, don&#039;t want pressure points on it. Just rub it gently or what?</description>

		<description>Hey George
Ah that defense citing a treaty  for not being a christian nation would thoroughly get you curbed stomped by anyone who knows their stuff lucky for you, those wingnuts advocate/express those positions  mostly don&#039;t.
Yeah I dealt with several who express it , often not worth arguing  since  at certain level they are correct it be like arguing Utah was not founded by Mormons and built upon  Mormon morality. Though  the Christian statement is not at the level of importance that  those who express want to believe and for the most part have no meaning today , since America was founded more so  as a plurality (a plurality of Christians at the time) and that plurality has expanded. . 

First its a treaty think we can each  easily name half a dozen treaties the united states signed and never follow, and some people will claim we never follow any treaty we signed, more so from that era of US History.  
 2nd as a treaty it was to  a group that was using piracy as a weapon against people who wronged Muslims. They attacked non Muslims , specifically christens shipped and follow the koran  dictated treatment of Christians when captured went into slavery. So the statement was trying to distance ourselves from being attacked for wrongs of a &quot;christian group&quot;. Though reading the wiki seems to have  some issues that particular part didn&#039;t make it into the Arabic translation. 

Now to the &quot;America was founded by Christians as a nation built upon Christian moral­ity&quot; though the guy i deal with would often claim Judea-christian beliefs.
Lets start with a slight variation of that statement 
&lt;i&gt;America was founded by &lt;b&gt;Europeans&lt;/b&gt; as a nation built upon &lt;b&gt;European&lt;/b&gt; moral­ity&lt;/i&gt;, do you disagree with that statement?
Assuming you don&#039;t disagree, by United states founding  and immigration from Europe , Nearly all of Europe was christian with a few exceptions and much of the philosophy influenced or was influenced by Christianity or accepted into Christin philosophy. So European is nearly synonymous with christian and at least that how the Barbary pirates often saw it.

Now lets go to the founding fathers there is this &lt;a href=&quot;http://oll.libertyfund.org/?option=com_staticxt&amp;staticfile=show.php%3Ftitle=2127&amp;chapter=193514&amp;layout=html&amp;Itemid=27&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;John Adams wrote to Thomas Jefferson &lt;/a&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt; &quot;No. The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence, were the only principles in which that beautiful assembly of young men could unite, and these principles only could be intended by them in their address, or by me in my answer. And what were these general principles? I answer, the general principles of Christianity, in which all those sects were united, and the general principles of English and American liberty, in which all those young men united, and which had united all parties in America, in majorities sufficient to assert and maintain her independence. Now I will avow, that I then believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God; and that those principles of liberty are as unalterable as human nature and our terrestrial, mundane system. I could, therefore safely say, consistently with all my then and present information, that I believed they would never make discoveries in contradiction to these general principles. In favor of these general principles, in philosophy, religion, and government, I could fill sheets of quotations from Frederic of Prussia, from Hume, Gibbon, Bolingbroke, Rousseau, and Voltaire, as well as Newton and Locke; not to mention thousands of divines and philosophers of inferior fame.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
So John Adams is against you on this one and goes to the plurality of America.  

Their is a reason the Chinese don&#039;t have a term for &quot;Human Rights&quot;. IF this country wasn&#039;t based on christian morals slavery would of probably existed everywhere in the country at the start and lasted longer than it did. Also by the same token Homosexuality, practiced more openly and legally with their be no anti sodomy laws   in the past and around the country. Along with other christian &quot;sins&quot; would be more accepted such as Polygamy, prostitution, pedophilia which are/were popular in different cultures and time periods around the world.  Now a interesting question which don&#039;t feel like researching right now would be how dose the constitution effect the states, could a state institute a state religion, my summation would be yes they can. The establishment clause is to protect the plurality and protect the state from religion as much as the religion from the state, and the corruptions inherent to the state and it&#039;s power. But the laws of country often were the common morals of the plurality , which was a primarily a christian plurality.</description>

		<description>Hmmm.... I have a light blue pixel, that almost in the middle of the screen. I tried almost anything that`s on the internet.
Sadly nothing worked. A funny thing though because I have a laptop when I turn it off sometimes I take the battery off.
Once I did it and the next time I turned it on, the pixel was gone for maybe 10 - 12 hours.
Now every time I do this, it happens the same thing all over again.
Anyone experiencing a similar problem or knows a solution to it ( something not destructive :P )???
By the way from a friend of mine I heard that he had a red one stucked on his screen ( NOT A LCD), it stayed for moths there, visible only on black screen and suddenly out of nowhere it gone away. 
Someone had the same experience??? Is it possible for them to go away by some period of time?</description>
