> I'd like to know where Cherokee and nginx stand.

I think the async based servers are all immune to this as it depends on the limitation of the thread/process overhead on the number of connections that can be handled concurrently.

So nginx should be immune as I know it is async based. I'm not sure about cherokee and can't seem to find any quick answers. But you should be able to find out if you dig a bit.

I can't find a reference to it. Certainly they submitted a bug report. They mention they found it on debian, so it seems like they would have file one.

Yet he just finished paying someone else a lot of money for the same thing. At least this time it wouldn't cost more than his time. Plus he'd have the potential of working with experts in the field he is trying to get into, many of whom work for the companies he'd eventually be trying to get a job at. I'd say it makes perfectly good business sense.

I think you need to recheck your facts here. Many of the countries with
socialized medicine are currently working on revising it as it has failed
in many ways. I don't have a list of all the countries currently working
on changing, but you can look at one that already has.

A couple of years ago Netherlands privatized their health care system and
from all reports it has been a great success. It is not a pure private
system, it has some strict regulations, but it is definitely not
socialized.

After a quick google, here are a couple references.
