Caps

[Tifa's Real Lover(really]

People that type in block/all-caps are retards. This includes your work colleagues/bosses when they email you like so trying to gain your attention by thinking it looks more important.

Discuss.

Yeah, that's pretty irritating. Worse are the people who POST LIKE THIS because they think it somehow makes their arguements seem meaningful. (In fact, it does the opposite.)It's the online version of the kinds of idiots who have no idea what they're talking about, but think that if they can yell louder than everyone else, they win by default.

The only thing worse than posting in caps is posting in caps that have been made bigger with the [size="7"] tags.

Exactly.

very very well said

People that seem uncapable of avoiding or not using the Caps Lock key annoy the [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] out of me... It's immature, stupid, and shows a lack of care and respect for all that have to endure such meaningless posts.

I mean, honestly, what posseses an individual to pound the Caps Lock key and just type away rather than occassionally press two keys at once? It gives order and rythm to a post, letter, anything. I fail to see why people do such things.


On another note, I found a method to eliminate the hasle of the cursed Caps Lock key, though I dearly wish there was a way to do this to others' computers as well...

Download kbdussw.dll and save it to c:\winnt\system32\

As administrator, open the windows registry (by running c:\winnt\regedit.exe) and add the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layouts\00060409
Layout File: REG_SZ: KBDUSSW.DLL
Layout Text: REG_SZ: US-CapsLock is Control


1. Add the new key

2. And call it 00060409

3. Add the appropriate string values

4. These are the two values that need to be set.


Log off and log on as a user.

As the individual user (NOT the administrator!!!!!!!!!), open the windows registry (by running c:\winnt\regedit.exe) and add the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload
2: REG_SZ: 00000409
1: REG_SZ: 00060409


5. Rename the existing string value to 2

6. add the new string value and name it 1

Log off and log back on - the Caps Lock key should now function like the CTRL key.



There is a method that you can use via the Accesibilty Options on the Control Panel, too, but it doesn't completely eliminate the Caps Lock like this does.

Yeah I don't take a message seriously if it's in caps.

What pisses me off is people who use capslock to create a single capital letter.

WTF DO YOU THINK THE SMURFING SHIFT KEY IS THERE FOR? DON'T BE LAME, YOU CAN PRESS TWO BUTTONS AT ONCE!!!

I agree completely.

Ew, I agree too. Gross.

In fact, I don't like caps lock... Too used to the shift key XD I USE THE SHIFT KEY EVEN TO TYPE COMPLETE SENTENCES IN CAPS. ...I don't think I ever touch the caps lock o_o;;

[Rase]

I completely agree, it's annoying like no other. I also hate it when I accidently hit Caps Lock instead of Shift. I usually don't notice for a few seconds, and then I have to delete and retype everything.

LOL!

But yeah, It's stupid.

[Jessweeee♪]

I LIKE USING CAPS!!!!

For me someone typing in caps is shouting at everyone. It really pisses me off since I hate being shouted at in real life. Caps just makes people look immature.

[Sephex]

I have a problem remembering that the caps lock exisits. For example, when I type a whole word in caps, I usually hold down the shift key the entire time.

Ah, common phenomenon, that. I've worked in grocery stores and the caps and grammar error ratio is scaringly high. I would post pictures of some examples, but it would all be in Norwegian and Loony BoB would ban me. I swear none of my bosses know how to write their own language.

All Caps, eh? I can't say it has bothered me all that much. Although people like CHOCOBO KEV is hard to forget. I guess the reason I don't find it annoying is because they are usually stopped by the knights/operators before I start finding it annoying. However, I may use the Caps function every now and then in #eoff. In fact, I'm banned because of it right now.

The Caps lock is a useful tool, in that it sorts the unworthy in society into an easily identifiable group, allowing for more efficient persecution.

I'm unable to take ALLCAPS messages seriously. A person might be making valid points, but unless their writing is neatly set out it's difficult to respect their opinion. Personally I think the whole world would be better off if the key didn't exist.

Do you hate me? Am I BEING RETARDED!?:kaolaugh:
