My father asked me to read a document about trojans and viruses to find any
possible errors in it. In it I found something I hadn't heard of before: Borg
Trojans.

"The Borg" is a race in the series StarTrek which work collectively. The Borg
Trojans spread around (since they are trojans I guess they are hidden in
other applications) and work collectively to flood internet servers and other
bad things.

Since I was quite impressed with the idea, I told a friend about it. He asked
me if I could write such a trojan for him. I was stunned and asked "What?,
Why?". "But make it render povray scenes instead. I want a PoV-Ray
renderfarm!"

[end true story]

So beware all Linux users... If you notice your system is heavily loaded, you
might be rendering my friends scenes. :-)
