XP Filter-fucking-keys

Arrrgh! This is so irritating! Somebody shoot that fucking moron at M$ who is responsible of the Filterkeys function! Every time you press the shift key for more than 8 seconds, this dialog window pops up and ask you if you want to turn on Filterkeys. If you click ok, nothing works; if you click no, then shift is stuck. Either way you're fucked! What kind of accessibility option is that if it makes your keyboard inaccessible?!

That shit just happened to me AGAIN. While I was working on the ASA website, I pressed shift for more than 8 seconds while I was thinking. Then the notorious pop-up appeared and my keyboard was all fucked up. I went thought all the options in Accessibility Options in Control Panel, but nope, no luck. So I rebooted. Out of irritation, I googled (shoulda done this a million years ago) and found a solution. *** Hold down both shift keys at the same time *** and your keyboard is back in normal. Well, this sounds like some kind of cheat code of some old-school Nintendo game, doesn't it. Anyway, praise the lord and may that retard be condemned to hell!
