WoW players have all the tools necessary to do this now, except one -- there are no effective tools to enforce player-created rules. You of course can't do anything to the players themselves, and there's almost nothing you can do to the characters. As such, people will simply borrow money and not pay it back. In the real world, this is fixable (though ugly).
Florida is one of 50 states yet hands out 15% of all traffic tickets.
The residents of Wyoming are going to be pissed if, according to your math, they're going to have to give a dozen speeding tickets to each citizen to bring them up to 2%. Kind of unfair, given they only have 0.17% of the US population.
So, they issue a subpoena, then withdraw the request. The subpoena states that they cannot disclose the existence of the request, yet you read about it at CBS, so that provision wasn't exactly effective.
What part of this is eroding your rights? That it's possible for the DoJ to send out nonsensical subpoenas and then withdraw them? That seems likely to happen in any organization where the people doing the work are humans.
You're doing it wrong. To be fair, I have a problem exercising for the same reason -- hard to be motivated about spending time getting nothing useful done. You shouldn't eat diet food or go on strange diets, though. It's a big change for limited gain. (If the gain isn't limited, probably it's not permanent.) You can make subtle dietary changes and end up with a net caloric loss. If you can maintain that permanently, you'll lose weight eventually with no effort.
I've lost about 20 pounds in the past year solely by being more thoughtful about what I eat -- and I still consume too much alcohol, pasta, and pizza.
If you're not cooking for yourself, you should. If you are, use less processed food.
In my experience, category (2) is not any easier to find and is harder to successfully prosecute. The difference is that stories about it are much more common -- and with good reason. There should be coverage of cases that are pushing the boundaries of where laws can be applied. Also, media coverage is generally the result of someone fighting a charge, whereas most clear-cut cases of CP possession and distribution (some 90-95%) are plea-bargained and uncontested. When someone from category (1) goes to jail, there may be a short segment on the local news or a brief article in the local paper -- more visible coverage only occurs if the crime was more egregious. When someone from category (2) goes to jail -- or doesn't -- it shows up in more major news, Slashdot, etc.
CP possession can be fairly hard to make stick, particularly if the person is not a serious collector. If you're willing to fight, stories (5) and (6) can be sold decently well to juries -- whether they're true or not. Getting a possession conviction for CP (unlike for drugs) really requires some degree of proof of intent. which can be fairly difficult to dig out of a computer. Distribution is the much-preferred charge, both because the penalties are steeper and it can be easily proven (if it occured). Unfortunately, a lot of CP collectors get their material on P2P networks and make themselves distributors.
Of course, the really serious charge is production, as it almost always goes hand-in-hand with sexual abuse.
There was actually an instance of this where a man, trying to steal his neighbor's wife, used his neighbor's computer to download CP and then reported his neighbor to the police.
Fortunately, a bit of investigation and appropriate forensic evidence and the real story was figured out.:-P
It's actually fairly common for people accused of downloading child porn to blame it on some kind of a virus. Another common defense is that they were downloading a lot of random porn and accidentally downloaded CP.
This can be difficult to buy if they've carefully organized their CP by type in folders on their desktop and burned backups of the data onto DVDs that are stashed underneath the couch.
The systems are vulnerable compared to their value. They're still not easy to take down -- but they have egregiously poor security compared to how important it is that they remain working.
I relish every day my freedom to perhaps one day be without power, along with everyone else on the eastern seaboard, for a few days because the energy companies so love their profits!
There is, in fact, a term for the countries of North and South America, collectively. They're called "The Americas". "America" is the U.S. An "American" is usually, but not always, someone from the U.S. The adjective "American" depends on context (an unfortunate point of confusion).

Does that make the Federal Reserve like NTFS-3g?

You can actually figure out which of the two has occurred with energy conservation.
Intentional destruction of evidence -- now that's a surefire way to stay out of jail!
Actually, the policy says explicitly not to do this. But then, you probably don't read many of the NIJ publications.

Satire often is, but does not have to be, humorous.
If Obama doesn't want to be criticized, maybe he should trademark his name like Beck did.

Most of that stuff can also be made at home fairly easily and much more cheaply.
It's difficult for malware to believably mimic the artifacts that users create when they view downloaded content.
How are watching and consuming child pornography not the same thing?

For New York, that's actually a fairly straightforward law.

Destroying individual wires isn't nearly as effective, safe, and anonymous as taking out SCADA systems over the Internet.

In Germany, they call them Amerikaner: Americans.
Probably because you don't speak proper English.
(Yes, yes. Like most Americans.)
COFEE is a live-response tool. It's by no means sufficient to audit the effectiveness of your cleanup procedures.
