I Bring You... The Future!

You scored as Scientific Atheist, These guys rule. I'm not one of them myself, although I play one online. They know the rules of debate, the Laws of Thermodynamics, and can explain evolution in fifty words or less. More concerned with how things ARE than how they should be, these are the people who will bring us into the future.

The Tyranny of QWERTY!

So, my company has forced (yes, forced!) me to have a Windows machine. The Billy Tax is unavoidable. Fortunately, I've been allowed to run it in a separate VM on top of CentOS, so I'm not too distressed by it.

I was pleased to find out that XP has a Dvorak mode out of the box (unlike 98, which required some funky downloads to make it so), but I am not so pleased with the fact that, no matter what, you must log in to the box with QWERTY. You can't change the login. Which means that I'm stuck looking at the keys to figure out where all the letters, numbers, and symbols in my password are. I hate that. Why can't there be a setting in XP, Login_KB_Layout, like there is in Linux? I can set the preferred language (which affects the keyboard layout) but not the layout setting itself. If the keyboard is set to "US - Dvorak" as the default, the login page reverts to QWERTY.

How strange and annoying!
