So you got to the end solution of... uninstalling fail2ban to fix it? You didn't bother to check WHY it was maxing out the cpu?

Glad you got the issue resolved though and didn't fork over the $10 because you would've just run into the same issue in the future if you didn't get to the root cause of it (misconfigured Apache).

What? I'm guessing you've never actually paid for an MS Support Call?

They will work through your issue no matter what until a resolution is reached.

I agree.

If the company has pidgeon holed themselves into the situation, they clearly have the 2 options you stated, and that should not reflect poorly on the original author.

> If Comcast didn't exist, internet access wouldn't exist for many people.

Sorry that is extremely far from the truth. Any of the other major ISPs' would leap at the chance to guzzle up these customers if there was no other competition.

>curl -sSL https://hyper.sh/install | bash

Seriously? Developers need to stop sprouting this crap as an install method. Nobody in their sane mine should curl a script into bash to install a product.

Hardly killed it. There's a reason UPnP exists.

If the prize was higher then the cost of the solution - then there would likely be no prize (and they would simply spend the money on developing that solution).

The prize money shouldn't be the incentive for these solutions, more of a by-product.

How is the Platinum rule good? When would treating someone how they want to be treated go wrong?

Your converse golden rule suffers the same problems as the golden rule - everyone should be treated individually, treating others the same as you expect people to treat you will not always work out as intended.

Learning to be calm and methodic as a system administrator is something that comes with experience. It's a great way to tell experienced and non-experienced sysadmins apart.

As you said, if a server catches fire, the newbie sysadmin will freak out and start running around in circles screaming. The experienced sysadmin has seen it 10x before and knows its not a big issue - removes, extinguishes and replaces it.

"Max potential" will not happen in a few years. It will take a decade or longer. But yes, you will make astounding progress in the first couple of years assuming you stick to a proper meal plan (even if that's Soylent and hitting the right macros) and train appropriately (progressive overload).

More than likely that developer checked it in IE9 after seeing the great front-end design, and does not primarily browse the web in IE9 (what sane person would?)

Edit: he commented below saying it was IE11 with the IE9 emulation enabled.

Except then they would destroy their Google search rankings ;P Which is the exact reason you can access it through Google.
