system can stop any virus
It sounds impossible, but Bodacion Technologies' Eric Uner claims to have discovered the holy grail of Internet security. Starting at a cool $17,000, businesses can buy Bodacion's "HYDRA" system to protect their Internet servers from every single virus, worm, or Trojan horse on earth. If you don't believe it, you could have tried to penetrate HYDRA to win Bodacion's $100,000 hacker prize. Tens of thousands of people signed up, but no one could, Uner says. http://www.suntimes.com/output/hitec...-lundy22w.html

Whitebeard, here's your chance to put something in one of the tech forums, like security. Why not request this be moved by one of the mods?

That's what you get for putting a serious article in Community forums, I think. 
Fascinating stuff, though. A bit like hydrogen engines a few years back - nobody wanted to know. Too much change of the status quo.  Quote: |
We've briefed the Department of Defense, we've been to the White House, and the reaction is always the same. "This is going to change everything. This is going to revolutionize the way people think about cyber security. This is the most fantastic thing that I've ever seen." Then you get down to the technical people and they say, "It's true. This is the most fantastic thing I've ever seen. It works perfectly. Now get the hell out of here as quickly as you can and I'm going to pretend you never came."

That is precisely why I posted the article in this forum because the security people see their job evaporating.
If it is mass produced I wonder if the price will come down.
I would spend a couple of hundred if I never had to worry about a worm/virus again.
Look for Gates to but the company.

If it's an embedded micro-kernel there may be ways to make emebedded chips with it in that slot into mobos or something. Just think: an end to web hackers! Secure connections!!
But, yeah, Bill & Co will probably buy the patent and we'll never see it again.
