I have a web application that has a SAS backend (db) that is thread throttled so as to not overload SAS. 3 threads can get in at anyone time with a queue of up to 250 threads. Threads are timed out if they take more that 45 seconds to execute (very rare, and only for complex queries). Queued threads are terminated if they wait more than 5 minutes. This configuration has proved effective, should a DOS attack get through the firewall (in theory this should not happen but can happen in bursts). This configuration allows the web server to recover after 5 minutes should an attack get through. This can be implemented for a specific web on an Apache in just a few lines in a httpd.conf file, very sweet.
Fast forward to another web app I'm working on that runs under IIS;
IIS, for a specific web on the server I can do the same thing it looks like but for the whole web server, I don't have selectivity to web. I am sure it's because of my ignorance, at least I hope. I continue to research...

Not if the attack keeps running for over 5 mins. Your queue would quickly fill up again and block, so you're down for another 5 mins.

True. I am talking about the case where our IT perimeter guys fall on their face temporarily, can't control everything. So a mishap occurs and you want your server to recover with out a reboot or service restart.

What they need to do is gather all the cars together and then link them up so you could put a big engine on the front to pull them all along in a line. You could call it .. oh, I don't know ... a train?
|

And then you could make it never go where you want it to, or when you want it to, cost way more than driving yourself, take twice as long, and fill it with people you don't like.

I believe that by saying you loathe Simon Cowell, you actually become a "Simon Cowell" figure yourself since he is saying that many people should be ignored and you are saying the same thing. It sounds as if you are actually giving him a compliment because you are attempting to do the same thing he does.
If you had indeed wanted to show your disapproval it would've been far better to have simply not mentioned him and by not mentioning him we all would've known that you are not a Simon Cowell fan.
As it is, I'm thinking that maybe he is a hero of yours.
Oh, the recursive ironic circuluar redundant paradox of it all.

Nice try, but you over thought that one a bit!

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

So when they get there, where do they park? Oh yeah, that what the motorway is

The caption says "The delays were a mixture of rush hour traffic and music fans heading to Cardiff".
Isn't that a very broad interpretation of music... and fans.

Nagy, Griff, ChrisE, Pete, Keith, take the piss now[^], the scummers will never let us live this down. I actually suspected this when the deal with Emirates was announced this morning, but wanted to believe the Council wouldn't stoop so low. The salt in the wound is I actually helped fund that with my Council Tax.
(As a side note it was originally called the Millennium tower as it was meant to open in 2000 to mark the millenium, embarrassingly the inept Council decided to change the name when it actually opened in 2005)
