Why are some lizards called "monitors"?


OMG OUR REPTILIAN OVERLORDS

Maybe considering that your monitoring the effects of any activity or cause you constructed with the system unit.

and just what is the word that's used in reference to both TV's and Computers?

PROGRAMMING!?!

never go full retard.

"We're monitoring the situation."

Fixed that for ya!

:stumpy:

that's not a monitor, this is a monitor!

To monitor what the computer is doing

...or IS it????

I think the better question is why are monitors called computer screens!

Hard to believe the morans around here could get any dumber, but here we are.

"speak for yourself" springs to mind....

Once we are hooked into the matrix through our computers, they will be used to monitor us. Any sudden sign of waking, you will be given an instant shot of permadeath or new software update uploaded to your brain

Wtf is a moran? Usually people who call others idiots or what not are themselves what they're calling the other person!

keepn' u on ur toes......

Its true my uncle said so!
