Now, in addition to cancer, you can find out your risk of four other important diseases and, as always, get personalized tips for preventing them. Your Disease Risk is an educational website developed by the Harvard Center for Cancer Prevention. Based at the Harvard School of Public Health, the Center promotes prevention as the primary approach to controlling cancer and other chronic diseases.

In 1999, the Risk Index was adapted to the Web as Your Cancer Risk.

The expanded site was renamed Your Disease Risk and offers the follows risks assessments online:

A disease in the Breedster ecosystem...

A disease in the Breedster ecosystem... 04/25/2004 07:14 AM

There's so much I could write about Breedster if I had the time. I could write about the interesting way it handles new members (you have to put work in to getting food and finding a partner before you can create a new user account and plug someone into it). I could talk about the possibilities of gaming / message-board overlaps and some of the slightly-abortive work that Cal and I did on the not-open-for-business The Mafia Game site. I could talk about the gaming aspects of maintaining a community and the congruence between gaming rule-sets and political rule-sets. I could write about lots of things. There's loads of stuff I could talk about that's interesting (to me) here. Instead I'm just going to report that a friend of mine has just contracted a disease in the game - they've released an infestation that can affect your bug's digestive tract and make it harder for you to build up enough strength to fornicate. Watch out everyone, there's infected poop about. This is a disease of the colon that could (and please forgive me for this) run and run!

I'll go along with the thought that most of today's nefarious hackers (and they have brought into ill repute what was once a term of respect) are lazy. But I think they're too lazy even to do a spot of reverse-engineering. All they need to do is to read the Microsoft Knowledgebase article detailing the extent and cause of the vulnerability to help them create an exploit by adapting someone else's real hacking work.
