Speed Limits Could Slow Viruses: Researchers from the University of New Mexico, the Santa Fe Institute, the University of Michigan, and Hewlett-Packard's HP Laboratories in England to have found a new way to slow viruses and worms. The method, dubbed throttling, involves limiting the number of new connections a computer can make in a given period of time. This promises to slow the spread of viruses and worms enough to make them easier to control and eliminate.
