Not on my (out-of-date) systems.  I have full keyboards, laptops without
numberpads, and an external USB numberpad.  None of them have any affect
on the external numberpad when I play with the NumLock key, and that's
how it should be.  Any modifiers should only affect their own keyboard.

Personally, I see absolutely no value in turning a numberpad into a
second set of cursor controls, when the keyboard has dedicated sets of
keys for those functions (cursor LRUD, home/end, page up/down, INS/DEL).
It's duplicating something that's already there, and set-out better, and
removing a useful feature (a sensibly organised numberpad).

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
