Windex has ammonia in it, you're better off using gasoline.

Try a google search you idiots. 

here's the how to from wiki for using household products:
QuoteSteps

   1. Dilute isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) into a mix with no more than 50% alcohol and the rest distilled water.
   2. Put the solution in a small spritzer bottle, the type that you push from the top to get a fine mist. It works really well at getting just the right amount on your screen with a spray on each quadrant.
   3. Apply the mix to a cotton cloth, such as an old T-shirt, lint-free microfiber cloth, or other very soft cloth. A large cloth is best, since it will help to reduce the risk of leaving streaks across the screen from finger pressure.
   4. Wipe the cloth against the screen in a counter-clockwise, or other consistent motion. Apply an even pressure to the cloth but take care not to press your fingers into the cloth or screen.


Tips

    * Expensive store-bought products contain the same mixture of alcohol and water. Others include Ethylene Glycol. You really do not need all these additions, which may be harmful to your health and that of the environment.
    * If you apply too much of the solution and it is drippy or too damp, wipe it off with a soft cloth and apply less.
    * Tissues will likely leave flakes of paper on your monitor. It's better to not even try using them.
    * You don't want mineral spots on your screen, so don't use tap water.
    * Using a 100% cotton cloth or shirt alone, without the alcohol mix, can sometimes produce the same smudge-free results without going to the trouble of mixing your own solution.
    * If you're a photographer, you can use your lint-free lens wipes instead of a soft cotton cloth.
    * If you are looking for a cheap way to get your hands on ready-made cleaning solution, try CD/DVD cleaner, which is often 55% Isopropyl alcohol and is not harmful to most plastic surfaces.
    * Lint free cotton cloth will work best.


Warnings

    * Do not drink Isopropyl alcohol. It is not grain alcohol. It is toxic.
    * Do not use cheap paper towels. You will scratch the LCD screen.
    * Avoid using products such as Windex because these contain ammonia and it can degrade the LCD panel.
    * Shut down your laptop, unplug it from the power adapter, and remove the battery before cleaning it or you risk damaging the laptop.
    * If in doubt, test a small area of screen first.


Things You'll Need

    * Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol)
    * Distilled water
    * A soft cotton cloth

My first thought was that this should be common sense, but then I remember some of your drinking exploits.  For all you drunks, this information needs to be in black and white.  ;)

shouldn't you be cleaning up shtein and piss or something?

I use the shtein from Circuit City I bought that was mentioned earlier for my LCD, salesman said not to use windex cause it will mess up your screen.

Joke's on you.  Of course they want to tell you to buy their shtein instead of using what you already have.


I seriously use Windex on all my computer screens.  Always have.  Always will.

Let me tell you, changing a diaper for a girl is more complicated than it is for a boy.

The things you learn in fatherhood... She's a good baby thus far, though.  Very little crying.

As a good friend told me when we were about to get our daughter -- it's an absolute mess down there.
The drawback to marital longevity is your wife always knows when you're really interested in her and when you're just trying to bury it.

A.  All kids are "good babies" for a few days after the initial shock of childbirth.  They just want to sleep.  Let me know in a week or two if she's still such a good baby.

B.  I have no experience with changing a boy's diaper, but the possibility for a fountain of pee and having to cover up his penis seems just as if not more tricky than "front to back".
