I was well aware of the news, and saying "the whole internet" was paralyzed
is bit dramatic. I was interested in learning how a worm that propagates
on a port used by a Microsoft database managed to affect the website
so that no free php connections were available.

I am also interested in why it took so long for it to be resolved, and I
would like to explore the idea of using dynamic pages only when absolutely
necessary.

Thanks for the insight.
