Important info about the latest Java update and my CPC games website

Oh blimey. Thank you for that Markus, you just by chance with me skim reading the forum solved a problem I was having - couldn't get a virtual console to launch from an iDRAC that uses Java for this getting Java Application Errors with not much indication in the additional details that this was a 'trust and security thing'. If only I came and saw this 2 hours earlier I wouldn't have wasted all that time getting bloody ipmi sorted.

Anyways...

People are saying they need to pay hundreds of dollars for an SSL certificate - is there any reason for purchasing such expensive certs when you can get cheaper ones out there? Does it need to be at a certain bit level of encryption? eg my company sells SSLs for £40 a year

(Also I recommend Globalsign for SSLs over Comodo, Thwarte, etc)

The applets on http://cpc.devilmarkus.de are digitally signed now.
Thanks to Executioner
So they should work without problems...

Yeah, didn't you know that?
When you are cute and cool, he will send you also a handsigned copy of WinApe (Zipped of course)

Well, being serious now:
To make applets work without many troubles regarding security warnings, etc... you need a certificate.
Xyphoe already mentioned it.
Such a cert. is way too expensive for me as private coder...
But JavaCPC Applet and JavaGX4000 (the 2 emulators I use on my website) are certified by BitWise Systems now
