I ran the find command suggested by the OP, and it came up with a long list of files -- all names that I had intentionally and manually deleted. It seems when one of my "other" machines booted up, it put 0 byte files back in their place. A

I am a parent, and apparently, you can't read. I quite narrowed my statement to cover situations where THE CHILD IS INJURED. Not when the child is throwing a tantrum, or trying to negotiate. WHEN INJURED. CAN YOU READ IT IN CAPS?

What a terrible example of parenting. When your baby is crying as the result of an injury, you should stay with them and comfort them until their pain has subsided and they stop crying.

That's not exactly true. You'll get torched on a chargeback if you didn't match the CVV code.

You are making an assumption that PSN is not storing the CVV code, and may be incorrect. Though PCI guidelines explicitly forbid storing this field, there are some who flout the guidelines. To answer your question, it is similar to places

I know how nginx works, I use it all the time. He is saying if you have 1024 woker_connections, at 2 per connections per user, you'll get 512 users per worker process. But the truth with most modern browsers is it is 4 connections per use

Dude has a much better attitude about it than some other guys who ended up in a similar situation. (The Konfabulator tantrum comes to mind)

I think he's got a little math problem. Many browsers will open up to 4 connections (possibly more, if config tweaked) to overlap requests for content, so you might want to consider this when configuring your worker_connections.

I think it's ironic that in the face of this failure, people are scrambling to figure out how to give Amazon more money.

There is an upper-tier "club" on Amazon, you can see it alluded to indirectly in various SC help files. Maybe these guys get away with more than we do.
