...these methods are just stopgap solutions, since a full-fledged flu pandemic would kill millions of people before the vats made enough vaccine to meet demand. Ultimately, vaccine makers may need to go straight to the source: the flu virus' genetic code. By extracting snippets of viral RNA and transforming them into DNA strands, scientists can in theory create a template for antibodies that can ward off flu. Researchers at PowderMed in Oxford, England, have created a DNA cassette into which they can insert genes from whatever flu virus is going around and, they say, have a vaccine ready...
...time when most people are enjoying a holiday break, computer security experts are on high alert. On Wednesday, Microsoft confirmed that it is investigating a new security vulnerability in the Windows graphics-rendering engine-the part of Windows that turns code into pictures...
...Schmugar points out that while the threat is very real, it's contained up to now by the fact that only a small group of websites, well off the beaten path of most surfers, contain the malicious code. "The chances of you going to one of these sites is pretty low," he says, adding, "We're not aware of a mass spamming of this exploit at this time." Still, he cautions, anything could happen. "We'll just have to wait...
...always the website's doing. Sometimes it's an advertiser that delivers spyware through banner ads or pop-ups, and you'd only get infected if you take that bait. Sometimes hackers embed spyware traps in a website's code. But it's also not uncommon for spyware to ride into your machine on the back of something you actually wanted, nor is it uncommon for the offending programs to be mentioned by name in the end-user license agreement-something you have to agree to before proceeding. (Kazaa, for example, was notorious for bundling spyware with its popular file...
...plan was to make the IOP a home for all politically related groups on this campus. We would give them meeting space in our building, access to the copier, the code to the student office, and the freedom to walk through the IOP’s halls with a sense of ownership, a real sense of belonging. This basic first step would recast the IOP as the hub of a campus-wide political community—a central resource through which student groups could carry out their distinct missions. And before long, the IOP would become a true center...
