As AC put it earlier (and got a 0 for it), phishing means everyone listed actually used their e-mail accounts at the time. What you're thinking of is if the databases of these services were somehow cracked...which is not the case.
There's also the technical aspect: unlike Linux, Windows isn't a moving platform. If you make it work in Windows 2000, for example, it continues to work in Windows XP, Windows Vista, and so on, up to a point. Take a piece of Linux software in 2001, where you have only the binaries and not the source (Tribes 2, as an example), and it's generally hit-or-miss, usually having something to do with which version of glibc you have versus which the binary was linked against. I can't say the same for any other OS, save for Mac OS, due to lack of knowledge knowledge and experience with them.
Living in California, I'd have to say that the "more fires" thing isn't JUST climate change; it's also a result of overgrowth. Fires burn out the vegetated areas, and they regrow. Every year it doesn't, the danger grows higher (I was temporarily displaced by this one actually). The San Joaquin valley, though...that's probably turning into a desert, and probably for the same reason as the dust bowl.
That pretty much goes for any Konami bemani game. Half are usually in-house as you say (anything by Naoki, for example), and the other half tend to be covers, although most if not all of the covers come from the Dancemania collection of albums (and there's a lot), and I'd say about 80% of THOSE in themselves are covers.
I'm surprised no one mentioned this (or maybe someone has and it's just under my threshold), but not using a journalling filesystem can help tremendously. Having a whole system on a flash-based USB mass storage media formatted and mounted as ext3 is a great way to make sure the only bottleneck you'll ever have is disk I/O.
...Windows allows for programs to be installed on its platform without administrative level consent or knowledge...
Well, yes...so long as none of the files are installed in places where the user only has read-only permissions (or no permissions). Of course, this only counts on Windows NT systems. I bet you're also surprised that users on Linux systems can install software! So long as they only install to $HOME.
Fry: Ya, I'd like some coffee please.
Coffee Machine: Would you like cream in your coffee?
Fry: Yes please.
Coffee Machine: Out of cream! Would you like sugar in your coffee?
Fry: Yes, eight spoons please.
Coffee Machine: Out of coffee!
Fry: Leela, I think the coffee machine's broken!
[The machine squirts coffee at Fry.]
Coffee Machine: How do you like me now?!
That's why I run it on my shell server out in some datacenter instead. We pay the same no matter how much/little we use of ANYTHING on the server, so we might as well make use of it.

King of the Hill was a nice exception to this. It got its own series finale, even though IMO it wasn't 100% necessary.

Are you sure about that?
Bemani machines are most frequently found on the west coast, especially California, although I think Washington also has a fair number of machines.

Properly implement sudo (kdesudo, etc.) in a version of Windows that doesn't suck and I might.
Wish granted. (Yes I know Windows Vista isn't affected, but the capability you asked for is there.)

It most certainly can read RAR files, but I'm not sure if it will extract from password-protected RARs.
If they're made after something happens, wouldn't that make them postdictions?
I would liken it to a language that some people can speak, but no one has written down anymore (so the glyphs are lost).
Yep. Video overlay. This occurs for pretty much any video in any video player that uses overlays. No conspiracy there.
Already required in California (where I live).

How long did it take you to fabricate that pun?
Maybe we/they should be called Endians instead.
My father has USB flash media bundled with a tiny (~2 inches) cable for that kind of thing.
And is it called WOPR?
Your humor shines brilliantly in this thread.
If you take humans out of the equation, this tends to happen.
A pink pony?
According to my color wheel, the opposite of green (lime green, anyway) is magenta. Let's call it magenta computing.
