All my "TV" watching is now from streamed Netflix or Hulu. I use it more like a radio, but it is on all the time.

it was only a matter of time.

Check the name on the cert. if it is self signed, then you just have to deal with it. But if it is root signed, look at the site name. If you can find a way to use that site address to access the device then you will not get prompted.

My home router has a valid cert, but I would use the ip address and get prompted every time. I ended up making an entry in my host file for "linksys" at that address. Now when I go to https://linksys/ everything is ok.

At the end of the day, remember the whole reason these devices use SSL is not so you can verify the connection. They use it to encrypt the connection. It is so much better to use SSL instead of plain text, even though the cert is not root signed.

If you make your microsoft certificate authority the domain authority, I think that it will automatically distribute the root cert to every domain joined computer at the next computer policy refresh.

Not only that, but there is a section of group policy just for certificates. It is very easy to work with (if you are using a Microsoft authority).

The cost is that of another server (or a few servers for a large organisation).

I have 100% replaced my cable TV. I watch a lot of TV. Well, I have the TV on a lot if I am watching it or not. I use it kind of like a radio.

The programming is also perfect for kids. They have just a few shows that they watch over and over again, the icons are big enough that they can tell what the show is.

I am watching a lot of old shows that I forgot about. Catching an old series from episode 1 forward is great.

I also have Hulu for the more current shows.

This is wonderful and cheap. I pay less than 10$ for all my TV entertainment now (on top of my internet connection). If you look at it that way, for people that drop Cable TV and Dish TV, if they had to pay an additional 10$-40$ for a better internet connection or more bandwidth, they would still be saving money each month. I am paying about 60$ a month less than I was with Dish TV.

I expect that at some point things will balance back out again. I don't want the fact that I am watching a lot of Netflix to impact my internet service, but I expect that it will at some point.

Use a switched network ....

This is a packet sniffer. If you are on a switched network, the degree of difficulty to pull this off is much greater. it is not a solution because of other tricks like arp poisoning.

This is nothing new, but it is good publicity to remind people how important SSL is. This addon did not change anything except now more script kiddies have access to another tool.

Verifying that every client received the same message is fairly easy. You can just collect the logs and compare. A good damage meter does more than that.

With that said, if they would have built a damage meter then the logs would be more accurate and the resulting damage meter would be more accurate.

The early damage mods parsed the combat log as text. So every mob that had the same name was the same mob. single pulls were fine, but double pulls of the same mob was confusing. Then pets were an issue. If 2 people had a wolf named wolf or god help you if someone named the pet after someone else in the raid. Blizzard saw this issue and revamped the logs so there were ID numbers for mobs.

I wrote a damage meter once for another game (when people told me it was impossible to do in AOC). Text parsing natural language combat logs is not fun but it is doable.

Even though no information has been released yet, I would expect to see something in the next 2 years. That would put Windows 7 at 3 years old. If we don't see a release, we should be seeing some betas by then. They will not wait 5 years again like they did from XP to Vista and the Vista to Win 7 timeline was 3 years.

Good point.

I just used that example because AOC was released just ahead of Warhammer. It was another game that slipped release dates and shipped an unfinished product. They had good solid release numbers and a very sharp decline in subscribers because it was unfinished. It sounds like AoC has made progress in the months after. But in the window of time where Warhammer was released, AoC looked like it was going to die an early death.

Warhammer didn't do it self any favors by releasing so close to a WoW expansion either. I tried AoC for 2 months and skipped over Warhammer partly because of the pending WoW expansion.

I guess they did not learn anything from Age of Conan.
