Finally, we seem to be back in control

At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not committed to excellence, which is why we tried our experiment to let computers replace the Board of Dictators temporarily. We thought we were done with the experiment after the week, but apparently the computers had other ideas. Daniel, following in the noble footsteps of Kal-El of Krypton rescued us from the computer threat and allowed us to get back to normal, or so we thought. Apparently the computers we had vanquished hadn't given up. Like any good rootkit they had other copies of themselves waiting to replace them if the originals were ever tampered with, making them extremely difficult to defeat. We were finally able to defeat them for good when we realized that one of the computers still had some good code in it, and that if we helped it see the errors of its ways it would turn against the other computers, even at the risk of its own destruction, in order to save what was left of the good.
Daniel could expound upon the details of the plan as it was he that carried it out, but it involved getting the "good" computer to create a child process, then forcing a confrontation between the two. The bad computers nearly destroyed the child process, forcing the good computer to eradicate them, at the cost of himself. All that remained was the good child process and a few ghosts.
It's good to be back in control.
