    Joe, Joe, Joe!!!! I've UPDATED IT just for you. :) Now it's the:

    The Ultimately Secure DEEP PACKET INSPECTION AND INTERFERENCE INTERFACE SYSTEM
    Featuring signature-less anomaly detection and blocking technology with application awareness and layer-7 state tracking!!!

    You'll be thrilled to see that I'm now offering it as a petabyte-capable
    appliance, too. It does have some performance impact on traffic when
    you enable it, though.

    I.e.: "same sh&t, different marketing"
    Much like all the "stateful inspection" firewalls and "intrusion prevention
    systems" etc etc etc...

    mjr.
