| "There have been various attempts to create a program that could harm the computer that ran it, but this is the first instance I know about that attacks the user of the computer.

 (Virus created by Geordi and Data to infect the Borg) The virus appears to be one of ancient lineage, the paradoxical mathematical construct." (Bill Christensen 3/30/2008 12:40:27 PM) |
