The default installs of Ubuntu don’t allow you to override Apache2 settings in .htaccess.  The fix is simple.

Edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default (with vi, nano, WinSCP, whatever)

Look for <Directory /var/www/>

Just below, look for
 
AllowOverride None

and change it to

AllowOverride All

Save and and then restart apache2 by typing:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

That’s it!  Your settings in .htaccess should now work.

This is the most up-to-date Wireless Network map for Maui as of today (or at least it should be. )  Here’s what I learned

Maui WiFi Security Break Down

OPEN = 1168 of 3056 of Maui networks have NO SECURITY
WEP = 777 of 3056 of Maui networks have INCREDIBLY WEAK SECURITY
WPAPSK = 952 of 3056 of Maui networks are REASONABLY SECURE
WPA2 = 93 of 3056 of Maui networks are VERY SECURE
Other = 66 of 3056 of Maui networks are HIGHLY SECURE

Please note that the above numbers are estimates.  Networks not broadcasting their SSID’s were not logged.

So How Secure Is Maui Overall?

63.6% of Maui Networks are Insecure. (WEP encryption is NOT secure (yes, even 128bit WEP) and is included here with the OPEN networks.)

36.4% of Maui Networks are Reasonably Secure.  I consider any network that cannot be cracked in 24 hrs reasonably secure.  Please note that default and weak passwords can make even the most secure networks negligible to attack.

No one likes to see a bad review about his or her business on the Internet, especially if it comes from a disgruntled employee or a competitor who is trying to ruin your reputation. Bad reviews can be devastating.

47% Never Look Back

Forty seven percent of potential customers who read a bad review will go onto the next business listing without giving the site with the bad review a second glance.

Here’s the dirty little secret reviewers won’t tell you. The vast majority of bad reviews are from people who are upset, angry or disappointed with your service. Their reason for providing a bad review has very little to do with the product or service they purchased, it almost always has to do with how you made them feel.
