Iiiinteresting. That sounds terrible... but awesome.
I didn't know it was happening tonight. Maybe. We'll see. I've been on a roll with Hackety Hack lately, and I want to make sure I have a few hours to put in.
Whoa, someone else from Pittsburgh? I've been looking for hackers/tech culture around Pittsburgh and haven't managed to find too much so far. I think I will check this out tonight.
There are events pretty much every month, but I haven't made any in a while this will be my first Refresh Pittsburgh all year. Make sure ya say hello to this guy: http://bit.ly/9jELdY (me)
Might want to add RefreshPittsburgh, Devhouse Pittsburgh and Dorkbot Pittsburgh to the events calendar, too.
Just because there aren't as many known exploits for MT doesn't mean it's more secure than WP. That's the same argument used when people say Apple software is more secure than Microsoft software. Yet if Apple software was used by more than 90%+ of businesses, it's likely more people would attempt to (and possibly find ways to) hack it.
Security aside, MT has lots of issues -- performance (or lack thereof) being one of them and bad upgrades being another. After the third time an upgrade broke some sites I manage, I gave up and migrated some sites to WordPress and some to Drupal. Have yet to come across the same issue.
