New candidate for dumbest idea ever. 

Next step: sue keyboard makers and seek injunctive relief.

YOU'LL HAVE TO PRY MY CAPS LOCK KEY FROM MY COLD DEAD LEFT PINKY

Hintjens, the CEO of iMatix, has launched the Capsoff organization in a
campaign urging hardware manufacturers to ditch the oft-abused and
misused key. Hintjens' plan is to build the entire infrastructure for
the movement using only freely available tools from Google. He's already
set up a Blogger Capsoff blog and a forum at Google Groups.

"The Caps key is an abomination," Hintjens writes on his blog. "It's a
huge key, stuck right there where the Ctrl used to be, and as far as I
know, it's only used by 419 scammers and Fortran programmers."
