Course you can. Poster just forgot alt and ctl are repeated on the right. That or has always been using the "normal" way of CTRL+ALT+DEL (like most of us always have) and just didn't think the keys on the right would work in the same way. You know, total habit stuff. Like turning on the light in the bathroom in the middle of the day (when you leave the room).

Cheers

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing

@SirFire Bwahahaha. Genius.

Uhh, you can't play a two armed man in a play that has characters with two arms with one arm.

But you can be the star of the show in a play which has a one armed man in the lead role when no other people in the play have one arm if you have one arm.

Yes,

You cant be a pitcher with one arm, but you can be a coach...

and you cant be a ref with one arm, cuz some of those signs require two hands crossing and so forth.

you can't shoot a shotgun at some babies with a decent amount of accuracy with one arm.

You can still kick them.

You can do anything with one arm that you can do with two, you just have to think laterally sometimes. Use Ctrl-Alt on the right side of the keyboard would be a good start. You could drive, even race, make games, become a pop star, work in movies, take ballet lessons and pretty much lead a normal life.

What you can't do is get away from prejudice.

You cant have uber micro with only one hand, therefore all the online FPS games are out of the way.

You CAN play MMO's with one hand... hell i played WOW with my toes one time to show my brother that it takes no skill whatsoever.

That was good.
We went to visit my Aunt, and she knew this guitar player who rocked the house with two missing fingers on his right hand (the one he presses down frets with). Then soon after my friend got the tips of his fingers chopped off in a lawn mower ( ) and so he converted all his games to exclusively use the mouse and the numpad (clicked with ring finger and pinky, hit numpad with thumb, forefinger and middle finger) and still sat at the top of the leaderboard when we played Counterstrike.
