    Possible. But I really hate the Caps Lock key.

  2. Re:Bah, manufacturers have no imagination on DIY Ambient Light Keyboard Kit · · Score: 2

    Cool idea. Unfortunately, after hitting my CAPS LOCK key one time, I realized I never actually used it, so I removed it and smashed it into 20 or 30 pieces. INS followed right behind it.

    To get past that, simply right-click, and while still holding down the right-mouse button, press space to get past the alert and the context menu will appear.

    There are a few sites that this doesn't work on, and due to the current status of their server I can't test it on their page.

    Still, I'd have to refuse to buy from them--using JavaScript for anything other than unobtrusive rollovers is, quite simply, evil.

    That only governs the software, but it's the only "agreement" I made with Lexmark, and it doesn't say a damn thing about having to buy marked-up ink cartridges.
