A bit early, but I might have a meeting later. I always get an invite for a meeting a whole 10 minutes prior to when it's due.

Should be an easy one. Good luck!

BULLS***
media censor -> BULLS***
malfunctions of ordinary quality -> BULLS***
marginally 80% of Bulls live in Chicago
That's the solution

Nice!
You could have used "pointlessly" just fine.
You have just been Sharapova'd.

Looking for my second win in less than two weeks
that was rather a MEDIOCRE clue
Sometimes, it just is, OK!
|
|
|
|

Oh, forgot to post my reasons/solution:
"80% Media" = MEDI (4/5 of the word)
"malfunctions" suggests an anagram of 'censor'
"marginally" suggests only use the edges of the anagram word, so "CE" and "OR"
CEOR = OCRE
so MEDI + OCRE = MEDIOCRE (ordinary quality)
Sometimes, it just is, OK!

He means, go back and edit your original question and add "SOLVED" or "We have a Winner" to the subject line.

Apologies to R. Giskard Reventlov whose recent thread I have felt free to "riff" on here under the terms of the CPLOPL (CodeProject Lounge Open Poetic License).
The interviewer asked me what my biggest weakness was.
I said: "Honesty".
He replied: "That isn't a weakness!"
And, I said: "Well, I can see that ... right now ... because I'd really like to work for this company, and I know I can do a great job in this position ... that I'm a little too concerned, here, with saying what I think you'd like to hear; perhaps when I do that I lose a little of my own originality ... and, if there's one thing I'd like you, and other people here, who evaluate me to know ...
Is that I am very creative person at the same time I am very good at becoming part of a work-group; for example, in my work at company-name, I brought new ideas to the team ... like ... idea-description in context."
The interviewer: "You think this job can benefit from 'originality,' or, 'creativity' ?"
"Yes, I do; one of the reasons I'm here today is because of your company's reputation for its innovation ... and quality ... and for the internal resources you provide for developers to increase their knowledge, and skills."
Interviewer: "You mean ... like the free-lunches, and the subsidies for electric-
bicycle use ?"
[Laughter]
"Yes, and the pay-check too."
Interviewer: "Okay, we'll notify you in three days about whether we want to have you in for a round of face-to-face with the programming team."
"I look forward to that opportunity !"
«I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center» Kurt Vonnegut.

Suffering from a fair amount of being too honest myself, I can definitely vouch for the fact that it can be a weakness. A second weakness, being quite direct with people, doesn´t help either...
On the other hand, on occassion you can turn that into a strength, and often, after a while, people will actually appreciate it.

Every time I visit Diablo's forum (A blizzard game) the forum are full of aggressive, whining, better than thou people bashing the game and other posters.
On the other hand CodeProject are quite civil! And not even any complaints!
So, I wonder... how does one (Webmaster) contains an online forum toxicity?!

Wow, it never occurred to me to wonder if there was an active force sanitizing the forum. Well whatever it is, it works.
