Use an old 100GB machine to donate 100GB to Wuala, then you get most of that back in guaranteed, online storage (encrypted and distributed as a bonus). Sweet.

You should use an emulator like Qemu, or maybe Bochs. Then you're completely isolated from any hardware compatibility problems (virtualizers run directly on the physical cpu and thus can introduce incompatibilities when an image installed using one cpu is booted on another).
Or if you only have short term projects (they don't need to save their data), then use the ttylinux or dsl linux demos in JPC at:
http://javapc.sourceforge.net/demos_linuxdemos.html
There are several very important books:
1. Effective Java - Joshua Bloch. This is by far the most important one.
2. Java, Concurrency in practice - Goetz
3. The art of multiprocessor programming - Herlihy and Shavit. This is much more theory oriented, but essential to become an excellent multithreaded programmer.
4. Java Puzzlers - Joshua Bloch and Neal Gafter. This is quite a fun book - lots of Java Conundrums
Enjoy!
Doesn't Wuala solve this? It stores your files in encrypted pieces spread over multiple remote machines (so you can't see the size used without your password). It already has a large number of users as well. The password is not stored anywhere.
Presuming people already have a copy of these games, why don't they just use an emulator to run them? As demonstrated at http://www.classicdosgames.com/
You can play over 140 dos games in your browser here:

Once they incorporate JPC's new applet snapshot facility it will have instant load time as well.

For those who need reminding and don't have a copy of it, play it in your browser using JPC:

There are other versions here:

There's another site, which also uses JPC, but has a different bunch of games... http://dosdose.com/toplist/more/ enjoy! :-)
This is true. However there are over 1.5 billion Java enabled devices worldwide, a good number of which have web browsers.

Donate the cpu's to academic research and grid computing research by running Nereus on them. http://www-nereus.physics.ox.ac.uk/
you already can with JPC... http://www-jpc.physics.ox.ac.uk/
Why not use JPC to run x86 code in Java. They already do that in an applet! That's bulletproof security for you! http://www-jpc.physics.ox.ac.uk/
