Even Win 7 Enterprise (which isn't eligible for the free Win 10 upgrade)? I find that hard to believe.

I don't know. I only have Pro, unprotected by WSUS.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

I just received a security update for IE11 a minute ago.

I got patch tuesday updates on my W7Enterprise (work) and W7 Pro (home) machines this month. The latter has the Wen icon lurking in the tray. My nominal plan is to Wen my on the road laptop soon, and if that goes well do the same with my main box a month or two later.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

So, it's not true for you. But it's certainly true for me, and a host of other people with identical complaints across the web. Kind of a Schrodinger's Cat.

Sorry, I mean it doesn't apply to Win 7 Enterprise.

A site that I inherited the maintenance of uses Ubuntu/Apache/Passenger and it's experiencing issues with "Heavy Load", which supposedly the latest version of Passenger fixed, but doesn't.
Since I have no idea about Apache/Passenger, and really don't want to learn, I need to contract out to some shop for assistance.
Anyone have any recommendations? I realize I'm asking here on CP, but you guys are my first line of defense whenever I am in need of help!
And no, I'm not looking for "did you try this in Passenger's config" advice, unless you know exactly what the issue is. There's budget to hire a high priced (and hopefully expert) person/group.

It was inherited. The code is horrific, which, while easy to do in any language, is particularly easy to do in duck type languages (should be called "duct-type", as in, McGyver.)
I was hoping that if I just bewailed loud enough about the project that the client would throw me $100,000 to rewrite it. But no luck so far.

So the client will spend 20k to apply more duck type and do it again... and again... and eventually spend the original amount and still have to rewrite the blasted thing.

A new Google project[^] for determining the benefits and/or feasibility of using solar power at your residence/building.
This Wired article[^] goes into some details about what/how/why.
It looks like a cool idea. It's only live for the San Francisco and Boston areas right now, so if you don't live in one of those places, you are SOL for the time being. I put in some random San Fran addresses just to see how it works, and it seems pretty slick.

Two nagging thoughts:
What exactly it the author of code saying?
...this code is based on original work of.... it is free software and protected under Copyright, and if used for commercial purposes you need license.
So if I inherit from HIS (? original work of ...) class for no commercial gain I should be OK, right?

That sounds about right - but most licences include a "you must include this notice..." as well.
Be aware that some licences do mean that anything using the code must also be open source. So if you don;t want to give up your IP in the rest of it, read very carefully!

How do I send a private message to someone on CP?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Find a message they posted with an "Email" link.
That sends an email to the registered email address, but it can be turned off in your profile.
Do note that it doesn't give you their email, but it does give them yours.
Alternatively, mention them in a conversation via the "@" followed by their login name (see the profile page) and they will get told of your interest, and given your email anyway.
