Don't criminals already use encryption? Am I supposed to, out of pure love for the government, not encrypt my devices so that if I ever become a criminal the FBI can more easily find me? Wouldn't that just make me a more likely target for crimials? Or perhaps the FBI is suggesting that companies should not provide encryption by default, causing customers will choose a competitor's product instead? This is silly: the only reason to start this campaign is if the end goal is to convince legislators to make encryption illegal.

Can't the routers split the traffic more evenly?

Some years ago I had a wired router that did what the summary describes: if one computer ran bittorrent, nobody else could do anything. I assumed that the router split the traffic by demand, or by number of total connections. This makes sense up to a point. I assumed routers have gotten better since then because I haven't had the problem in a while. It seems like a more fair algorithm should be implemented.

So why not just use tables for layout then?

Although truthfully, if I created a prize called the "Best Slashdot post in memory of Alfred Nobel" and paid for it separately, I can see why one would be hesitant to call it a Nobel prize, no matter who gave it or when. I wonder what power Nobel's will has today? Does someone have the power to actually pay for the prize out of Nobel's money, or to change the rules he laid out?

Are you saying that that the only motivation for social justice or environmentalism is to avoid guilt? Yes, only people with disposable income can afford to make purchases "on principle." But whatever the motivation, it is good that they are doing so.

The peace prize is different in that it is, by definition, political. Do not judge the other prizes by how the peace prize is awarded.

The Nobel prize is never given posthumously. That's where it stops.

Pascal: Delphi still lives.

Someone who doesn't like burning fossil fuels or mining natural gas.

If you have a legitimate beef with the manufacturer, why hide their name? You might find others with the same problem.
