Whether he was a traitor or a patriot depends on whether you consider the US government a god-like entity that can do no wrong or one somewhat more human and flawed that requires checks and bounds.
A coward, however, he is most assuredly not, for it takes some huge pair of balls to go up against a government which you have just discovered through objective evidence will stop at nothing, neither legal nor illegal, moral nor immoral, just nor unjust, to wreak vengeance.
If you're afraid creating a new product will cannibalise your current market, some other company will create the product and cannibalise your market for you.
Now instead of offering the parents an option to enable a porn filter, little Billy goes to a random kids website and gets asked "Do you want to watch porn?".
Well, it didn't work on Chrome, Firefox, IE10, Opera, Safari and Dolphin on Android 2.3 when I tried it about a year ago. Had never had any trouble with commercial certificates, and if I'm going to have to rely on non-pre-installed CA certificates, I might as well create my own chain like I do with WAMP setups.
The info on conspiring to take down DNS comes from the leaked docs. If the leaked docs are a hoax, why would Sony choose to fake a message which make them look like the bad guys? Lets not forget that this "Interview" movie is just a run-of-the-mill comedy, not something any company would ever want to stake it's reputation on.
Apart from 30-90 day trial accounts from the big CA's, I know only of StartSSL (no pre-installed CA cert) and several community-CA projects (no pre-installed CA cert).
Nobody is being "backdoored" here except as required by law
That may be what they intended. But when it comes to security, adding a backdoor for one means adding an unpatchable gaping security hole for the entire world. Either nobody can spy or everybody can spy.
If comcast provides better quality for lower price in Charlottesville, they're basically admitting that they sell overpriced, low-quality in the rest of the nation, which provides legal ammo to those opposed to them. Ofcourse, all of this would be good for consumers, competitors and pretty much everybody... except Comcast themselves.
No, it's because you say things like "YESSH!!!!", "I got modded Troll!", "Boooyahh!", "*Really*?", "Did you Facebook fanbois actually read what I posted,", "did your lips get tired after the first sentence?", "No troll here folks." and "Just the truth.".
This isn't just about the freedom of speech of the director of that movie. It's also about the freedom of speech of the actress. Not being forced to say something you disagree with is also freedom of speech.
So what is more important; the freedom to say something or the freedom to not say something?
I actually have an old "smartphone" Samsung G600 with 8GB microSD as an MP3 player during fitness. My old Samsung S+ is hooked up to a reciever; FM radio, internet radio and client for a 1.5TB mediatank. If my current phone is replaced, I can still use it as a media player elsewhere in the house. Perhaps replace my alarm clock.
Do you know what a CDN is? I'm guessing the GP is talking about things like Cloudflare, MaxCDN, Azure CDN and Cloudftront. There are very few people who'd be able to replicate such a network on their own. In fact, neither do those CDN companies. Also, the statement "If one can't do the work on their own, they probably shouldn't be in the IT field at all" is blatently stupid, unless ofcourse you mold your own CPU's from raw sand.
But your front lawn makes an excellent hang out spot for my free Wifi needs! Your neighbors all opted out of sharing Wifi, so I can't very well loiter around in their front lawns, now can I?
Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are business men that just happened to make their fortune in IT. Ofcourse they're not going to need IT certification.
99% of us are grunts, including you and me. Very few of us have that unique combination of sufficient skill and lots of luck to have a positive reputation that preceeds us. Pretty much all us grunts are hired going through an HR department grunt. The HR grunt doesn't know anything about IT, but he knows certifications. Certifications have value not because they represent any qualifications, but because HR grunts aren't going to be fired if they select employees based on certifications.

He would use no more than what was purchased, so how would they be allowed to charge him more?
Would they be allowed to post-charge for the more expensive shorter flight too, if he somehow didn't make any part of the flight at all?

Really?
So the fastest way to find whoever cracked a certain safe is to look in the purchase records for any middle-class individuals buying expensive safes?
No. Satan is just Santa, misunderstood.
Brilliant idea.

Please remember that "serious criminals" included the entire population.

Like which?

I think faking terrorist threats is a teeny tiny bit against the law.
Speaking off the record
Let me fix that for you...
Obviously speaking on the record, but with sufficient disclaimers to not be held legally accountable according to literal interpretation of the law
You know none of those have CA certs pre-installed on any browser, right?

I can see how explaining a file format would be a problem for you.

I sure hope you were being sarcastic.
It's hard to tell the difference sometimes.
