all you need to do is replace the display on their screen with a skull and cross bones, and the entire ship's computer system immediately crashes. Simple.

# ah right...
..but what if thier ship is 'green tooth' instead of blue? 10m?

# ahh but but but but
mathmatics is a universal language. No matter what language you speak or in this case what planet you are from mathmatics is identical....so if they managed to figure out a way to upload a never ending equation into the computers then it could in theory use up all the motherships computing resources trying to figure it out! HA!

ok no where'd i leave my drink!?

# Called a 'logic bomb'
Tell a computer to calculate pi, or count to infinity.
And if you're REALLY clever, you tell it to prioritise the calculation until it is complete.

it would be uploaded via a 3-1/2 floppy

they discovered anti-gravity hovering, but STILL have a 3 1/4 drive hanging about "just in case" (don't we all)

# Allow me to restate the original point in a way that will seem more realistic:
1. Take a fully functional alien mothership
2. Connect it to an Apple Mac
3. It crashes

# I never believed that 'Mathematics is universal' stuff
what if aliens can invent their own mathematics. where 2+2 = 5. then you'll be sorry.

# hmm, tricky

I once though that, then studied science. Very humbling stuff

# I still havn't found a believable reason why 2+2 doesn't = 5

If you have five marbles you've just destroyed physics and we're all about to collapse into a temporal vortex.

# except they could transfer it to the ship,
make sure it wasn't the toilet computer, get the computer to open it, and a ship that advanced would most likely either take a while to have its processes filled, or be smart enough to downsize that particular running process. It's not like it's working out why you'd want a cup of tea...
