I am using English version of windows. I just wanted to google something in Japanese. So I installed the Japanese input method. All went fine. After that I found that the display language of windows changed to Japanese! And I have to set the display language setting back to English and restart the windows...

No! Google translate does offer so many opportunities to have a little fun.

So to be fair...
1. Any modern operating system is a very complex beast.
2. Making all of the bits and pieces work together correctly is a very large task. Realistically it is simply not possible for some cases due to complexity.
3. Many users of Japanese might in fact want to use english but the reverse is probably much less likely to happen.
4. And Microsoft is out to make money.
Consequently many, many things that individuals might want to do requires that those individuals find specific ways to do it because no OS can meet the goals of every single individual.

9 years since I have been here on this site the last time. Seems that a few of the old guys are still around. How are you all doing?
And to the "new" generation, hi how are you?

Wow. Don't you have to be worthy[^] for that?
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

So, you went from the black arts in the software world to the same in the hardware world. And you're back.

You appreciate the field more than the jerk occupying space next to you, it's still classy.
There's some programming puns in there.
Good to hear that you're taking charge of your existence though, often we waste alot of time maturing only to realize we've been wasting time in meaningless trials with idiots. The real pay-off starts and ends with that cat looking back at us in the bathroom mirror. Welcome home.
