With Respect to the Presidential Election

a) No, you didn't actually vote. What you did was tell a faceless, uncountable, unelected entity how you'd like them to vote. Contrary to whatever wishful thinking you're suffering from, they are not required to oblige you. b) In any case it's meaningless since you likely threw your vote away by not doing anything other than voting for the person who had the right letter next to their name. Put Hitler on the ballot with the right letter next to his name and you'd of voted for him. You'll forgive me if I consider you part of the problem in this regard.

On WordPress Security

It's no secret that WordPress is a popular target of malicious hackers. One of the least sophisticated attacks against a WordPress site is to brute-force the administrative login. This type of attack -- which is simply an attacker (or an attacker's bot) attempting to guess the admin password -- is simple but the ramifications of success are profound. Imagine what an attacker can do if they have complete control of your WordPress install. It's tempting to think that only large sites are targeted and that small sites have little to worry about. While it's true that a high traffic site may, for a number of reasons, make for a more tempting target as my test results show an attitude of security through obscurity is a mistake.
