Depending on the RAM quantity in your computer, you're probably seeing a speed boost switching between WoW processes as the used memory from one process is shifted into the pagefile, and vice versa. That performance will definitely be improved.
You won't see any speed increase on your home system as your file system attempts to be contiguous, which is what disk defragmentation does. You read a file, that file is in sequence on the drive, the spinning platter model works for this. If you tried the same thing with a 30GB Oracle database on that same disk, with transactions writing to random parts of the file many, many times a second, you'd be reduced to a crawl with an HDD. This is where an SSD would shine.
In short, you're (your OS is) using your SSD in the same way you (your OS) would normally, which it's not optimised for. Now, if you were to have very little RAM and make big use of swapping...
Turns out that this is total rubbish, as there is a clause in Government law which appears to supersede this. So, the Government CAN interfere (read: ignore) with Supreme Administrative Court decisions.
If the system was in any way similar, this would be like the Commons bring in legislation which contravenes a decision by the Lords. It seems that the systems are not analogous, though.
In all of these cases, it becomes the responsibility of the contract holder to ensure that their connection is not used for illegal purposes, kind of like if you lend you friend a car, and he speeds... Oh, wait, that's not right. Kind of like if you buy a shotgun to go pigeon shooting and... Urm, no that doesn't work... Kind of like if you had a series of tubes...
Huh, I guess you're right. Who'd have thought that big media were talking out of their asses?
If you're going to send it off to a marketing agency to send you targeted advertisements based on the content of your call, then yes it damn well should be.
On one hand, you're doing a great job, so you get to keep your job in times of adversity. On the other, you do such a good job that the company can't afford to promote you out of the area.
You make a lot of people aware of the issues with that particular congressman, then they all contact their government representative regarding the issues with that congressman, and they in turn bring up the issues in congress. One congressman says "Hey, I heard that Billy Blogs has been doing some nasty stuff with this interception malarky! I don't know exactly what it is, but it sounds like he's been listening in on domestic American citizens' communications!" Another congressman says "Awww hell yeah, I hurd that too!" and pretty soon the guy is out on his ass.
It's actually a federal offence to deface US currency.

333. Mutilation of national bank obligations
Whoever mutilates, cuts, defaces, disfigures, or perforates, or
unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill,
draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking
association, or Federal Reserve bank, or the Federal Reserve System,
with intent to render such bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence
of debt unfit to be reissued, shall be fined under this title or
imprisoned not more than six months, or both.
The client software pseudo-randomly assigns you an identifier which is used for connections on that network.
Your first connection to the next node in the chain may be identifiable as you, but your destination is not known. It goes "Well, I'm connected to these three guys, and I'll send this packet that way. I'll remember that response packets need to go back to the same identifier on the return."
The next node does not know your originating IP address, only the identifier the software assigned to you and that you want to be routed to another location.
The second to last node in the chain knows where you want to go, but only that this identifier wants to get there; Not what the IP address of that identifier is.
The whole process is repeated back, with the two ends of the chain only knowing one half of where you want to go, and the places in between don't know jack apart from your identifier (which is only of any use if both ends of the connection are compromised)
. The added bonus with darknets is you also host the information you retrieve, increasing availability.
You do understand that a darknet is just a smaller internet, don't you?
Several computers linked up over a common communication medium, routing requests for data on foreign systems between themselves. The only added advantage is essentially a form of distributed file system-style of information redundancy; You connect to the foreign node, you download the data, you host it for others in the darknet to make data more readily available and faster to access.
The biggest issue with darknets is that they do not scale well to services which require instant communication; VoIP is a big issue, which would undoubtedly make private communication easier for all.

... [T]he court as an institution is independent of the Riksdag, and the government is not able to interfere with the decisions of the court.
That's the IPRED law out the window, then.

Good plan! Then you can sponge more cash out of them for homeopathic remedies for anal sunburn and anal malignant melanoma!

Ok, people are continuing to mod you "Informative" so I'll drop my "Overrated" mod I gave you in favour of a response people will read.
You are wrong.
As per the two Anon Coward posts below (myself), "I just posted as Anon Coward before and after modding you, and it worked fine."
