	Patty Parrot's Bird Brain Jokes - Cool kid jokes
		Kids must have permission from a parent or guardian before filling out any forms or providing any information over the internet, including sending your bird brain joke.
		You may include your name when you send your joke if you want BlackDog to let everyone know who sent contributed the joke.
		An email like that is more than likely from an EVIL, NASTY, WICKED, HATEFUL spammer and may even have a nasty virus inside.

		The Brain virus is able to hide from detection by intercepting an attempt to interrogate the boot sector and redirecting the read to the original boot sector located elsewhere on the disk (Stealth technique).
		The Pakistani Brain virus originated in Lahore, Pakistan and infects disk boot sectors by moving the original contents of the boot sector to another location on the disk, marking those 3 clusters (6 sectors) bad in the FAT, and then writing the virus code in the disk boot sector.
		The Brain virus is able to hide from detection by intercepting any interrupt that might interrogate the boot sector and redirecting the read to the original boot sector located elsewhere on the disk, thus some programs will be unable to see the virus.

		A file infecting virus that can infect kernel program files is not a kernel virus--this term is reserved for describing viruses that utilize some special feature of kernel files (such as their physical location on disk or a special loading or calling convention).
		The virus code is usually contained in a dropper in such a way that it won't be detected by virus scanners that normally detect that virus (i.e., the dropper program is not infected with the virus).
		In fact, the virus is not a threat at this point since control of the CPU is never passed to the virus code residing in the buffer.

		The virus appeared to completely eradicate the tumors in the mice that survived the entire study because they had only empty cavities and scar tissues where the tumors had once been.
		Fueyo agreed, saying that although the virus looks promising, the safety and efficacy of it will not be fully known until it is used in humans.

		"The virus went to areas of the brain that play an important role in functions related to attention," said Anthony Van den Pol, professor of neurosurgery at Yale School of Medicine and lead author of the study published as the cover story in the February issue of the Journal of Virology.
		The virus was designed to include a reporter gene, which enabled him to follow its path through the brain.
		If VSV gets past the olfactory system, one area of the brain for which the virus has an affinity is the dorsal raphe, the origin of much of the serotonin in the brain.

		The third kind of virus simulators are not useful for this purpose--they do not show how computer viruses work, do not show what computer viruses do, and because their virus fragments are not reliably detected as viruses by many good scanners, may give the wrong impression of a scanner's value.
		This code would check for virus infections when the program is executed by comparing a previously computed CRC or cryptographic checksum (hash value) of the file in its known clean state with its current value.
		The virus may then be able to detect or even remove the self-checking code, or it might make it totally ineffective by using stealth techniques, so the self-checking code only "sees" the original, non-infected program.

	Smart virus eliminates brain cancer in animal experiments
		Recent advances in the understanding of brain tumor biology have led researchers to target molecular defects in brain tumors.
		While the researchers say there may be a small zone around the tumor in which some normal cells could be affected from the battle between the virus and the cancer, they will not know if neurological deficits could result until a Phase I clinical trial is launched, which is expected to start in winter 2004.
		The study was supported by grants from the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, M. Anderson, and the Anthony D. Bullock III Foundation.

		Still, the National Cancer Institute is intrigued enough that it is providing $1 million to produce enough of the mutant virus to begin human testing, said Lang, who hopes to start enrolling brain-tumor patients in a study of the treatment by winter 2004.
		The virus would have to be injected through the skull directly into the brain tumor, which could delay the immune reaction.

		The targeted virus therapy appears to have cured mice of malignant gliomas, extremely aggressive brain tumors that affect both adults and children and which have no known treatment.
		One of the advantages of the virus in treating gliomas is that it is easily delivered through a small hole in the skull of the patient, which is not considered major surgery.
