Funny you mention IRC in a Winamp thread, one of the devs (Tag, Tag's Trance Trip) from winamp/nullsoft was active in a IRC that we used to stream/DJ on Winamp. At one point Winamp was developing a music streaming store/service way before Apple, Google, and the rest came along... some great memories of modifying cable modems to unlock more upload capability

There are some out there, but not at the commercial/industrial level. Like you said, higher risk along with added shipping cost keeps them out of the mainstream. Also the need for lightweight UPS systems for servers is pretty low. One bad thing if a lead battery is involved in a fire is the spreading of lead contamination, that's not cheap to clean up, but it's low probability.

I do not know if ROMs is the right word but I copied the files of the floppy disk or CD that the original game came on (yay for keeping floppy disk organizers and CD wallets). If you don't have the disk in hand it would be tough to get legally since they can be hard to find and possibly contain one or more bad disks.

As others have said you can some rereleased on gog/steam.

Ah Christmas, the time of year to snuggle with a cup of cocoa and play games of Phantasmagoria and Leisure Suit Larry.

In all honesty thanks so much to all the people that work on this project.

It is very bittersweet, the near future does not look promising for multi function probes like Cassini. NASA looks to be sending less "risky" probes from here on out. Cassini was a huge engineering success given the possible outcomes.

This is correct, FBI have aided in the securing of many private sector systems in the past. When a few critical flaws in the consumer credit network (eg visa,amex) were detected it was with the FBI's assistance and they oversaw the implementation of improvements.

Are you a state bar? how can he practice being a lawyer and provide legal services. I expect to see an article on Monday, from you, which explains how you are able to confer the ability to individuals to act as a legal agent.

See how much that sounds like I am an asshole? Maybe read your comments out loud before posting.

Maybe he was commenting on the idea posted elsewhere in this conversation about getting USPS to investigate and explaining how one agent could do so. But your "understanding" may be the correct one.
