SSL for ASP.NET MVC

Noob question here. How would I go about adding SSL to a MVC site? Is it simply a matter of turning a switch on in the server somewhere and the admins can do it or do things need to be done in code? I am reading a whole variety of ways such as adding attributes, filters, configuration settings, co

Re: [OT] Ultrabook for noob

When I was self employed back I got the best laptop I could afford and carry. I spent 3k NZD on a sandybridge i7 + 16Gb + 2 x 128 Gb Kingston Hyper X SSDs (as the mobo supported Raid 0) back in Oct 2011. The disks them selves for 20% of the price. Frankly it's still a beast (though I recently upgr

My thoughts exactly! :) I was thinking more about how long it normally lasts before i7 and 16Gb RAM become too little Thanks Tom On 27 November 2014 at 14:56, Stephen Price wrote: > I only appreciate mine for six months. After that I want a new one. ;) > > On Thu, Nov 27, 2014 at 11:45 AM, mike

Re: [OT] Ultrabook for noob

This is a good option, but a fairly low spec memory and HDD and then purchase upgrades aftermarket for half the price. On Thu, Nov 27, 2014 at 11:24 AM, Greg Low (低格雷格) wrote: > Yep, they didn’t seem to list the i7 E7440’s on the Oz site but the > sales guys have access to them. We paid under $

RE: [OT] Ultrabook for noob

Yep, they didn’t seem to list the i7 E7440’s on the Oz site but the sales guys have access to them. We paid under $2k each with 4GB and whatever the lowest cost drive was. Then put in 16GB of memory and 1 1TB SSD from Crucial (certainly not from Dell). Regards, Greg Dr Greg Low 1300SQLSQL (1

Stephen and Greg I couldn't even locate the E7440 on the Australian Dell site, found it on the US one though. Am I missing something? Dell site is confusing. Thanks Tom On 26 November 2014 at 19:17, Stephen Price wrote: > Spec'd up the Dell E7440 and it seems expensive for the specs. Only let

RE: [OT] Ultrabook for noob

My quick eval of the Lenovo models really attracts me to them. But I am surprised that Yoga 2 and 3 both have only 8Gb max RAM, and the 3 has slower Core M processor and 2 hours less battery life than its predecessor. Otherwise, both seem to be very nice tablet/PC with Win8.1 touch. Mini HDMI is

Re: [OT] Ultrabook for noob

Spec'd up the Dell E7440 and it seems expensive for the specs. Only let you put 8Gb RAM in them too. Did I miss something? $3974 for i7 with 8Gb RAM and 256Gb SSD. (and 5yr warranty). That's almost half as much again as my Surface pro 3 with similar specs. Or do they just charge more for the busine
