macosxhints.com - Fight ATSServer stall at login
The ATSServer process sometimes stalls the system upon login, and there is nothing you can do to kill it at this point except killing it by ssh from another machine. But what to do when there is no other machine you can use to login from? It gets even worse if you activate/deactive a lot of fonts during your session. 

The solution I found, which fits my needs, was to create a LogoutHook, which kills ATSServer on logout.
  1. Create a simple sh script: 
    #!/bin/sh
killall ATSServer
    Save it in a convenient place, like /usr/local/bin, and name it killATSServer.sh Then make it executable via sudo chmod +x killATSServer.sh.
  2. Make it a LogoutHook by entering the following command: 
    sudo defaults write com.apple.loginwindow \
LogoutHook /usr/local/bin/killATSServer.sh
And now everything should be fine. The ATSServer process will be killed on logout. It is started automatically upon the next login. This solution was tested under 10.4.x, and it works well for me. Hope if helps others.

The body tracking is truly impressive — according to Kudo, it’s picking up 48 joint points on the human body. As soon as we stepped into line in front of the box, the avatar immediately took on our stance and movements. And we mean really took them on — little gestures with our arms, the posture we had, front and back movements — it tracked with complete accuracy. We did notice a bit of stutter during some finer movements, but overall the effect was impressive (and more than a little eerie). (via Project Natal video hands-on, impressions, and further details)

  • Weaver95: nope. I’d go back in time and make sure he got into art school.
  • eqtworld: It would be easier to shoot him, those paintings suck
  • Weaver95: if he got into art school, he would have gotten better.
  • eqtworld: good point

How to Fix a Stuck Pixel on an LCD Monitor (with video) - wikiHow

(this actually worked for me!)

Pressure Method

  1. Turn off your computer’s monitor.
  2. Get yourself a damp washcloth, so that you don’t scratch your screen.
  3. Take a household pen, pencil, screwdriver, or some other sort of instrument with a focused, but relatively dull, point. A very good tool would be a PDA stylus.
  4. Fold the washcloth to make sure you don’t accidentally puncture it and scratch the screen.
  5. Apply pressure through the folded washcloth with the instrument to exactly where the stuck pixel is. Try not to put pressure anywhere else, as this may make more stuck pixels.
  6. While applying pressure, turn on your computer and screen.
  7. Remove pressure and the stuck pixel should be gone. This works as the liquid in the liquid crystal has not spread into each little pixel. This liquid is used with the backlight on your monitor, allowing different amounts of light through, which creates the different colors.
