Really. You should have no concerns about the safeguarding of your most intimate secrets. What you SHOULD be concerned about is your unhealthy attraction to midgets in furry costumes. Sicko.
The merger of a huge intelligence agency and a powerful search engine begets only one question:
Where in the world is Osama bin Laden?
With google, you won't even have to touch that crusty old "almanac..."
Now there'll be an added layer of confusion for computer thieves. Which of these yellow post-it notes with I.M. Anidiot's laptop case is the password for his login, and which one is the password for his disk drive?:P

True, as an earlier poster pointed out, obesity and lack of exercise drop testosterone levels. What I would like to see is a study focusing on behavioral habits to see if there is any link there.
As a member of our military reserve on my second deployment, it really irritates me how touchy-feely the civilian world is. One example: I got sent to "sensitivity training" at an old workplace because during a supposedly anonymous survey (hah), I answered that I did not feel it was important to use the words please and thank you when dealing with my coworkers. You know, if I am going to give you money to work for me, I am going to assume that means that you'll work for me, and that I won't have to ask you nicely every time. But that's beside the point.
I really think that our society is taking away the things that make men men -- we're being turned into metrosexuals:( This isn't a healthy thing.

Once you hit 60 and get equipment of an appropriate level -- I had a set of mana regen gear for my priest, and a set of "max mana pool" that put me at 9.4k mana before any buffs -- you will quickly find that all you loved about WoW has died. (This is why I sold my priest after 3 months of playing the game). At this point (Bear in mind that I quit maybe 6-7 months after launch) your choices are:
1) raid for 4-8 hours...yes, this gets better as your guild does, and my RL friends that still play can run MC in a little under 3 now...but that's still an afternoon.
2) Wait in line to PvP, then PvP for an hour or more to farm honor. At the time I played, AV was the best honor farming, and noone actually tried to win until every drop of honor had been farmed from opposing players. After hitting rank 5 or so, I got very bored of the tedium, especially since I had specced to holy for raid healing.
3) Craft. Of course, the raw materials are a better time investment, so all I used alchemy for was to transmute things. I sold herbs raw on auction. When I quit I had almost 1k gold I didn't need because I picked flowers while I waited to PvP.
All in all, I was pretty disappointed in WoW, but the one redeeming quality it had was that I was able to sell my character at a profit.:)

You need to play EVE online. Your character learns at a static rate whether you are online or offline :)
