How to rearrange/remap/change the keys on your keyboard
I recently needed to rearrange my keyboard, and when I google'd it, the information was surprisingly sparse, so I thought I'd add how I do it to the mix.
A few days ago, I accidently knocked the Enter Key off my keyboard (Don't ask me how), and it was seemingly impossible to reattach. I therefore decided to simply rearrange the keys on my keyboard, so that another key could be the Enter key.
Here's a simple guide I wrote up for it:

Here's a simple guide I wrote up for it:
- Download and install KeyTweak. (the file called KeyTweak_install.exe). It's compatible with all +2000 versions of Windows (Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7), and it should be compatible with Mac OS X too.
- Open up the program and click any key that you want to change, then choose what function you want it to have from a simple list containing all the keyboard shortcuts imaginable, then click 'Remap Key'.
- When you're done rearranging your keyboard, click 'Apply'.
- You should now be prompted to restart your computer. Do that.
- When the computer has restarted, your keys should be rearranged. You might notice a slower start-up, but that's because your computer has to update its registry.
Here's a screenshot of the interface of the program:

The US debt visualized
Here's a website where the current US debt has been visualized and put in perspective. It's pretty mind-boggling to see how big a pile of money it actually is. I mean, if stacked to have the same diameter of one of the world trade centers and printed in $100 bills, the current US debt will almost reach a height equal to 2 world trade centers on top of each other!
Click the $100 bill below to check it out.
Just look at Benjamin Franklin's disappointed face. He knows what's up.
