Quoted: It is not just office workers who are taking their first steps into virtual worlds. So too are lawyers, as disputes in such environments spill over into real-world lawsuits. Such disputes often concern the trade in virtual goods and services, which are bought and sold for real money. In some countries lawsuits over virtual goods are already common. Unggi Yoon, a judge in the Suwon District Court in South Korea, estimates that Korean courts have heard nearly 300 cases of fraud and more than 60 relating to hacking in virtual game-worlds.

When I need to set persistent environment variables in Windows, I tend to want to gouge my eyes out ... right click "my computer", "properties", "advanced", "environment variables", ... and have you tried editing $PATH in that tiny edit box?!
