Die! Die! Die!

I despise the F-lock key most new keyboards are coming with these days. The damned thing just doesn't work consistently. Sometimes it remembers being f-locked, most of the time not. What's worse is the thing can't be controlled programmatically. It's entirely resident up in the keyboard.

I hope the jackass that dreamed up this 'feature' suffers a slow, horrible and agonizing death. Well, maybe not death but certainly a great deal of suffering is warranted. If there's a pit of fire in hell for them it should also leave enough room for the mental midgets that moved the f-keys from groups of four to groups of three. Keyboard layouts are not something to go f'ing around with you dolts.
