Question:

I humbly request the wisdom of The System Monitor.

What do you do in your spare time?

What? What're you all looking at me like that for?

The System Monitor don't talk, foo! You're supposed to be the cat with all the mad tech skills! And you were put here to keep things goin'! Now answer the question 'fore I lay a smackdown on you!

*sigh* Very well.

Look, the System Monitor's profile pretty much sums it all up, doesn't it? *ahem* I quote, "The system monitor acts as interface for the administrating SOMADs to do routine maintenance on the system." Hence it lets those of us in the Matrix who are a little more, err, stable...

Don't talk about me!

Yes, earth feline, do not talk about the Moononites as if we are not "stable." Your mind is too small to comprehend our ways. We are from the Moon.

Shut up.

Now, as I was saying before the peanut gallery there started interrupting: The System Monitor is for the more stable SOMADs to access and maintain the system. But lately it's been acting sort of glitchy. Occasionally it'll just haul off and dump one of the SOMADS off the NTFS table for no good reason.

This wouldn't happen with ReiserFS and a Linux system!

Shut up! Like I don't get enough flag-waving zealotry at the office from people too cheap to pay for software.

Anyway, the System Monitor has been acting sorta glitchy. I'm hoping the next Patch Tuesday will help clear things up.

Never bought a copy of Windows. *hic* Spent it all on Jagermeister.

We're stuck in a Dell -and- our existance hinges on an unpatched, pirated copy of Windows? Fantastic. I guess I'll learn to like having random parts of my personality corrupted by botnet worms and buffer overflows.

You can always go legit like I did.  I bet Microsoft would even offer amnesty to this site, given how popular it is.

Uh-huh. I always knew you were deluded. For us to be popular we would have had to have had a functioning website sometime in the last year and change, now wouldn't we? And don't think I'm not catching hell for that already, now that we're back. Anyway, back to the point: I was going to say that, once patched, the System Monitor enjoys spending its time doing crossword puzzles and writing letters to the editor of the Wall Street Journal. Unfortunately I don't think it's going to be well enough to take on either of those tasks for a while.

I rest my case.
