For eg. for www.twoangstroms.com the default address they'll look for is www.twoangstroms.com/wp-login.php?

What you do is change the wordpress directory to www.twoangstroms.com/fuckoffhackers/wp-login.php? and then have wordpress redirect to look like its from the root address (ie the "/fuckoffhackers" directory never appears in the URLs).

It won't deter the most determined hackers but gets rid of some of the lazier ones.

Open-source, open mess. My ass.

I'm now the nth of my friends whose site has been hacked by a script injection, so I'm not ever sure what to do first in terms of backing up (I downloaded my whole /public folder to my local laptop), cleaning up, reinstalling. Especially with a paid WP theme I can't find the reg number or receipt for.

Related to this, I remember an ad from a few years ago where the company advertising (T-Mobile, I think...) boasted that "three times as many people prefer our service to AT&T." My immediate reaction was to ponder the implication that there actually existed a person who liked AT&T's service.

Anybody can offer service in Minnesota but you have to offer it to an entire geographic area all at once. That means that you have to build out your entire infrastructure to support every house/apartment/office in an entire city before you can sell your service to anybody in that city.

That's why the only places with alternative service providers are those cities with municipal fiber. Those cities also have the lowest prices.]]> Cloudscout Spork Central Tue, 18 Sep 2012 16:54:17 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,287,39316#msg-39316 Re: Milkshakes for... http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,287,39316#msg-39316

I know. It's not like it's unexpected. But I need to vent. I tried to get new service. The online price was 29.99 for 20Mbits for 6 months. They couldn't complete it online so I had to call them because the previous tenant hadn't canceled yet. The call center price was 49.99 for 20 Mbits but they said they'd give me a 10 dollar discount. They billed me at 59.99 after the 10 dollar discount so I called to complain. First I hassled them about billing me for a "Self install kit" that they never sent because I was already up and running. Think about that: They tried to bill me for something they never sent and that they knew I didn't need. They offered me the Comcast version of Netflix to placate me. I declined. Then they offered me a lower billing rate that was almost as good as the original rate they promised me. Almost.

I said, how is it that you're offering new service to new customers (which I am -- new) at 29.99 but you're telling me that the best you can do for my bill is 50+. The 29.99 rate only goes up to 44.99 after six months which is less than I would be paying right now. Call center dude says, that's an online only price. The best we can offer you is call center rates.

I said, "Tell me about your 30 day money back guarantee." Call Center dude tried to prorate the refund. I protested and he refunded everything. So I've cancelled Comcast after about a week.

In a couple of days, I'll sign back up online for 29.99. If that's how they want to play the game, fuck them. I'll play.

I'm sure there will be additional chapters to this story.]]> Alan Lehman Spork Central Tue, 18 Sep 2012 13:49:38 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,287,38621#msg-38621 Re: Milkshakes for... http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,287,38621#msg-38621

It's the crapster.

It is incompatible. You know how many plugs we've got around here? Let alone around the world. Why oh why?

It comes out more easily. The side connection was harder to knock off.

It's more subtle. Looks slicker.
