My sister-in-law was trying to change the thread in her Brothers sewing machine. She spent 20 or so fruitless minutes trying to get the machine to accept the thread and get it through the complex path it has to take to get to the needle. Finally, my son (a computer geek - internet security) went over to help her. He fought with it for a few minutes and then took the only geeky remedy he could think of. He powered the machine off and then re-booted. Worked like a charm. He said that, obviously, Brothers must be using MicroSoft software to drive their machine!!!

One day last week my Droid wouldn't clear a notification about a snoozed alarm, so power-off-power-on all good.

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!
