I believe IE and Chrome use the operating systems list of certs. So your corporate IT dept can deploy the trusted certificates pretty easily. Firefox has it's own list of certificates so in theory is less susceptible to these corporate MITM attacks.

"regardless of semantics". Why is this such a common phrase in debates? Semantics is the study of meaning in language. Requirements, code, comments and documentation are often much better when people do pay attention to semantics ;-)

In these cases a simple, "Function is required to handle multiple edge cases", comment would at least alert other developers to a reason for ostensibly odd or overly complex code. This along with well commented test cases solves most issues.

OK, interesting. I guess it's a personal thing. For me it's not just a question of whether I know or not. I also have to consider if there is anything I could reasonably do to prevent such things from happening. If there isn't, then I would consider whether I really need to use the system (for example, is this my only option because I live under an oppressive regime?).

I think this was the point of the GP asking, "How do I not unwittingly get CP being stored on my device?".

There is a big difference; using this system you could directly facilitate the distribution of data that you do not want to be associated with.

Buying a camera doesn't directly help the creation or distribution of info you consider to be immoral or unethical. Obviously you may want to use a camera maker or ISP that actively discourages such behaviour.

I'm sure you would feel extremely guilty if someone used storage facilities that you controlled to spread CP. On the other hand, I've never felt guilty about buying a camera as I've never let anyone use my camera for such purposes.
