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?

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.

I just remembered CodeProject and came back around. Looking at my messages, my last was from 2011. Seeing your post made me reply 
It's been many years, but I'd like to come back more often. I am not much into programming anymore. I still own my software company but are much more on the management/sales side. But I'll to at least come to The Lounge often.
Great community here that I definitely miss!!
After a quick glance I just saw a couple of old-timers: Marc Clifton and of course Chris.

Quote: My name is Wendy and I work for the hiring team at Randstad Direct, a recruiting organization. I should also mention I’m an artificially intelligent Recruiter. Yep— you heard that right!
The rest:
Quote: My colleagues at Randstad Direct and I are working with PNC to help hire for their Solutions Architect, Software Architect position in Secaucus, New Jersey. I came across your resume and thought that you might be a good fit for this role.
My goal is to learn more about you beyond just a resume. Through a simple conversation, I can help you get in front of the hiring managers faster. My aim is to be your advocate, presenting you in the most relevant way possible.
To get started please click the button below to begin chatting with me. I’m looking forward to meeting you!
And this is humorous:
Quote: If at any point you require assistance, please email the Wade & Wendy human support team at help@wadeandwendy.ai.
So, because I'm male, did I get assigned Wendy? If you're female, do you get Wade?
Ah no. Looking at Wade & Wendy[^]
I see that Wendy is a team recruiter for "passive candidates" (me, passive???) and screens applicants, while Wade is a personal recruiter. So, Wendy is free to me and Wade I would have to pay for?
So I decided to go for the "AI Interview", with the following Q&A:
Quote: Tell me a bit about yourself! Why would you be a good fit for the Solutions Architect, Software Architect position at PNC?
Because I am a God!
Quote: How many years of experience do you have in Information Technology?
Gods are immortal. So about 15 billion years, the age of the universe.
Quote: How many years of experience do you have as a Solution Architect?
Too many to count.
Quote: What programming languages do you have experience with?
The languages of life and love. After all, I created you puny humans and their even punier AI's!
The response:
Quote: I'll make a note of that.
 Maybe Wendy is warming up to me!
Quote: Do you have experience with relational databases?
Darn, that's a yes/no answer. I had a good answer lined up "Everything is in relation. Only the void, the nothingness, cannot relate to my light."
Quote: Tell me about your recent projects revolving around software architecture.
The known universe. All life on earth. The heavens. Hell too, though I gave that to Lucifer, bearer of the light.
Response: "Interesting!"
Quote: How much are you willing to travel?
I am all knowing, all seeing, everywhere always.
Quote: Are you willing to do a Motor Vehicle Report (MVR) check?
Darn. Another yes/no question. More yes/no questions about citizenship, etc.
Quote: What are you targeting for an hourly rate? Please be specific.
Money? Money is materialism. I am a god. I have no interest in material wealth!
Quote: What's the best phone number to reach you at?
666-666-6666
Quote: Alright! Is there anything else you'd like the Randstad Direct team to know?
How will you serve me???
That was fun!
