Microsoft has admitted that speech recognition features in Vista could be hijacked so that a PC tells itself to delete files or folders. ....lol

I wonder if its possible to create music that had the correct frequencies in certain parts to make it sound like somebody was issueing commands, but the human wouldn't know because they'd think it was music?

Possible?
