You ran over his toe at LAX Airport also?
|
|
|
|

Clearly, we all did.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Just noticed that new profile icon from some of our fellow CPians : "Community Engineer". Since when has this been around ? I missed the memo as usual.
|

 very recently or not very popular!

is that mean to be
- as in Engineer the Community (mass murderers, poison gass)
- or Engineer for the Community (umm, can fix my toilet?) ??
after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!

Tell me more about option A: Quote: Engineer the Community (mass murderers, poison gass)

I read it as something akin to social engineering. Like Griff with his irrelevant daily posts that give all of us a chuckle (or a groan) to improve the place, although a little dusting wouldn't hurt either.
Or it's something like the strange choice management made when they renamed the support desk here. It is now called 'client engineering', which raises a very interesting question. What sort of clients are we building and can we tweak the formula a little to make them a bit smarter?

But ... it may well vanish quickly - the program is being phased out, before it was formally announced.

Quick! Take a screenshot before this moment in history vanishes forever!

BTW, can you still walk with all these CP reward medals ? It must be getting heavy ? 
|
|
|
|

The actual medals I keep in a BitLocker and only get out on special occasions. Most of the time I just wear the ribbons on my formal jim-jams.

There has not been a memo, and there probably will not be one in the future. But maybe @Chris-Maunder may wish to add a few words.

I'll save him the trouble.
Artichoke
iconoclast

Let me know if you need more words than just those few.

I love artichokes, but never tasted an iconoclast.

Not what you'd expect to hear from a vegetarian, but the mandatory reply was, well, mandatory:
Iconoclast - tastes like chicken.

I accessed a website where this person in automated chat asked "what brings you to our website today?". I responded, "String of bad decisions" and closed the web page.

So "of bad decisions" brought you there?
|
|
|
|
|
What did the bot say??
You've also been mean to us by not telling the bot's response
|
|
|
|
|
It said you will be responded over email in about 20 minutes. I did not gave my real email so we will never know.

It said: "Resistance is futile, your ass will be laminated."

|
"We are dyslexic of Borg. Refutance is systile. Your ass will be laminated."
I've forgotten who's sig that was, but I always remembered it  .

I had to come back because after reading your post, I went back to work.
Onto a website, up pops a "message" …Quote: Hi :wave: Welcome to [redacted].
What brought you in today?
So I've left that tab open. The message keeps popping up but I keep ignoring it. Couldn't bring myself to be mean - bots don't need that twice in one day
