Blu-ray full HD video tops out at 40 megabits a second. This is easily handled by any half-decent USB flash drive.

There is no need to emulate a particular windows platform, you just need a stable win32 library for compatibility.
It's pretty easy to write windows software that will work on any windows version from 2000. It's not much harder to support 95+. The basics of win32 have been stable for years.
The 16bit elements are now irrelevant (unless you want to run some very old windows games). Even Microsoft doesn't support 16bit software on the 64bit Windows versions.

I downloaded one of the sample apps (BrickBreaker), and it seemed to automatically install the JavaFX code.
However, I then end up with an entirely black window for the app. This is on a G4 Mac.
Not good for a first impression.

Like most mmo games, leveling gets harder as you get higher.
The first 60 levels are a relatively small part of the game now.
Record Label Infringes Own Copyright, Site Pulled 282
AnonCow sends in a peculiar story from TorrentFreak, which describes the plight of a free-download music site that has been summarily evicted from the Internet for violating its own copyright. The problem seems to revolve around the host's insistence that proof of copyright be snail-mailed to them. Kind of difficult when your copyright takes the form of a Creative Commons license that cannot be verified unless its site is up. "The website of an Internet-based record label which offers completely free music downloads has been taken down by its host for copyright infringement, even though it only offers its own music. Quote Unquote Records calls itself 'The First Ever Donation Based Record Label,' but is currently homeless after its host pulled the plug."
