i'M ONTO YOU.

Posted by AntiCool (Member # 7386) on :

I removed the caps lock key from my keyboard. I never use it, and I hate accidentally hitting it.

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

BAH! NOW THAT DC HAS A TEAM I DON'T HAVE TO BE A METS FAN ANY MORE. THIS IS GOOD NEWS FOR METS FANS, OF COURSE.

GO NATIONALS!

Posted by Mr.Gumby (Member # 6303) on :

WHAT ABOUT THE METS? I DON'T CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY I'M A YANKEES FAN AND ALWAYS WILL BE... THEN AGAIN ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO I USE TO HATE CANADA

Posted by Mike (Member # 55) on :

I remapped my caps lock key to control. Sorry. [Razz]

Posted by kaioshin00 (Member # 3740) on :

I THINK THAT PEOPLE LIKE THE METS BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT YANKEES. KINDA LIKE PEOPLE IN IDAHO TAKE PRIDE IN NOT BEING FROM UTAH

Posted by Boris (Member # 6935) on :

CAN I JUST HOLD DOWN THE SHIFT KEY AND BE INCLUDED?

Posted by kaioshin00 (Member # 3740) on :

THERE'S TWO SHIFT KEYS. YOU HAVE TO SPECIFY WHICH ONE YOU'RE HOLDING DOWN, OTHERWISE YOU DON'T COUNT!

Posted by Boris (Member # 6935) on :

LEFT SIDE SHIFT KEY. IT'S REALLY CLOSE TO CAPS LOCK.
I JUST TRIED TYPING WITH BOTH HELD DOWN. IT DIDN'T WORK.

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :

Interesting. With both shifts down, only some of my keys work. Observe:

I I POIBE O PE WIH BOH HI OWN BU ON H HE E WOR!

(translation: It is possible to type with both shifts down but only half the keys work!)

Why is this?

Test: BCEGHIMNOPQRUVWXZ

17/26 letters work.

QWER(t)(y)UIOP
(a)(s)(d)(f)GH(j)(k)(l)
ZXCVBNM

And the majority of those that don't are on the second level of keys.

Hm.

I THINK IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH HOW THE KEYBOARD SWITCHES FROM CAPS TO LOWERCASE.

AHEM

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :

I went searching but didn't find out anything about the shift key except some smart-aleck who'd written some kind of "answers to questions about the shift key" funny thing.

Ah well.

EDIT: Sorry kai? what was that? is it because I'm not participating? [Wink]

I'M NOT A FAN OF SHOUTING, BUT I'M MOST INTRIGUED WITH THIS SHIFT-KEY ISSUE.

FOR SOME REASON, I NOW MISS SHLOMO.

Posted by Verily the Younger (Member # 6705) on :

I'M TYPING WITH THE FOURTH FINGER OF MY LEFT HAND ON THE SHIFT KEY. THEN I RELEASE IT WHEN I NEED TO PUT IN A PERIOD, OR COMMA, OR SOMETHING. IS THAT OKAY?

Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :

SHIFT KEY. WHAT IS THAT?

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

i'M TYPING WITH cAPS lOCK DOWN, BUT NOT CHANGING HOW i USE sHIFT.

Posted by Jay (Member # 5786) on :

WOW... I DIDN'T THINK THIS WAS ALLOWED!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Little_Doctor (Member # 6635) on :

I AM THE LORD OF ALL CAPS LOCK. I TYPE IN CAPS ALL THE TIME FOR SOME REASON OR ANOTHER. I DO IT TO ANNOY MY FRIENDS MOSTLY WHEN I AM TALKING TO THEM ON AIM. IT'S PRETTY FUN BECAUSE NOBODY CAN YELL AT YOU FOR NOT CAPITOLIZING THINGS. THAT IS SOMETHING I AM VERY GOOD AT. GRAMMAR ISN'T ONE OF MY STRENGTHS. I WILL PROBABLY SPEND TWENTY MINUTES JSUT TRYING TO CORRECT ALL OF THE MISTAKES I HAVE MADE IN THIS ONE POST.

ANYWAY.....

GO YANKS

GO METS. THEY'RE PLAYING THE NATIONALS TODAY, I THINK.

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

THE QUESTION IS IF YOU CAN ACTUALLY HEAR YELLING IN YOUR HEAD WHEN YOU READ THIS? THAT WOULD BE AN INTERESTING INVESTIGATION INTO HUMAN PERCEPTION. I MEAN, WHY DON'T WE CONSIDER italic words as whispering?

Posted by Darth Ender (Member # 7694) on :

SITH RULE!

Posted by Shigosei (Member # 3831) on :

ACTUALLY, OCCASIONAL, I HEAR YELLING *AND* I THEN HEARD WHISPERING WHEN YOU SWITCHED TO ITALICS. SCARY.

ALSO, I'M HAVING TROUBLE NOT HOLDING DOWN SHIFT WHEN TYPING 'I'. SHIFT HAPPENS, I GUESS.

Posted by AntiCool (Member # 7386) on :

You know, if it were really a caps lock key, it would stay on all caps even when you hit the shift key.

Posted by sarcasticmuppet (Member # 5035) on :

nOT REALLY. wHAT IT DOES IS PUT THE SHIFTED KEY IN LOWER-CASE.

Posted by Shigosei (Member # 3831) on :

Exactly. That merans that things are NOT locked into capitals. In other words, the caps are not locked.

edit: I'm not saying it's a bad design -- I'm just saying that it can't be accurately described as a caps lock.

I DON'T THINK THEY COULD FIT 'CAPS LOCK UNLESS SHIFT IS HELD' ONTO THE KEY.

Posted by Peter (Member # 4373) on :

THERE WAS A GOOD QUESTION BEFORE. CAN IT BE THOUGHT OF AS YELLING AND WHISPERING AT THE SAME TIME?
