there are rules for submissions. Like, 1080p or 1440p still frames and LRC (3-channel) audio, in discrete digital files. The BBFC don't take submissions in 35mm print anymore (haven't for years), they only take DCP (Digital Cinema Package), the same format as used in standard theatres.
I repeated myself, and yes it is. You cannot refuse to answer a question when on Oath, even if to do so incriminates you. At any other time you can refuse, as is your Constitutionally protected right.
Leviticus 26:14-46 describes all sorts of punishments for not converting. Including forced cannibalism.
There are many parallel passages (Deuteronomy 28, for one: "If the children of Israel are obedient, they will be blessed temporally and spiritually—If they are disobedient, they will be cursed, smitten, and destroyed; diseases, plagues, and oppression will come upon them; they will serve false gods and become a byword among all nations; fierce nations will enslave them; and they will eat their own children and be scattered among all nations.").

yes, it describes the circumstances in which a search may be performed: a search must be for a certain thing in a certain place (a gun that's been recently fired the police have reason to believe you're in possession of because they have a registry that shows you do, that they think might be hidden under the floorboards?). Otherwise, says the 4th, "leave we free people the fuck alone!".
Hence to the Fifth: no man shall be compelled to testify against himself. *Unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury*.
when someone is charged with something (England) what it usually means is that the State has enough to convict. This is one way to save money - the State won't waste it charging someone without evidence. This decision is on the AG, not the police and not on any judge. Assurance of conviction is also their way of fudging the conviction rate. It's only when something unexpected happens - surprise witness for the defence, or sudden and confirmed alibi - that the accused is cleared. ~When a conviction for eg murder is quashed on appeal or when "new" evidence comes to light provving the innocence of the person convicted, it hits the headlines because well, the system isn't perfect. The truth of the matter is, no the system isn't perfect because it's designed that way. It doesn't follow the maxim "innocent until proven guilty*", it follows the one that says "We'll hold you until we get enough on you or you confess, then we'll humiliate you then we'll jail you."
*Magna Carta carries within it the guarantee that every man accused of a crime shall be tried by a panel of his peers. A police investigation isn't a trial by your peers, that's the State making to ruin you. The punishment is already happening right there, whether or not a crime has been proven.
I've got MW2 running on a Win95 OSR/2 virtualbox image, the trick is getting the CPU to behave itself. I do this by using CPUIdle in the guest OS and throttling at 60-80% on the host. Had similar problems with USS Ticonderoga, 7th Guest and Day Of The Tentacle CD. Also hard-limiting the RAM helps a lot (64MB on 95 and 128MB on 95OSR/2 and 98/SE). Dumb question: do you run your VMs on dynamic volumes, or fixed size? Problems go away when you limit either system to 1.99GB (not 2GB!) per partition.
the DiscWizard DDO will allow you to access the entire capacity of the drive. Seagate and Western Digital's ports are free still, the unlocked/commercial version runs about forty bucks.
VirtualBox, a copy of MS-DOS and CPUIdle. Job done.:) I have a stack of DOS games running on a VM on my laptop (dual core, 8GB RAM) and wow! Leisure Suit Larry: Land Of The Lounge Lizards has never looked so great.
I bought a V3 in 2003 (I was young and dumb and desperate for a decent phone). Still got it. Still use it daily. Still get ten days standby out of the battery.
(I do not speak from experience, before you ask Unless you count the time I dropped a megamug of coffee (nearly two pints!) onto my spanking brand new Toshiba laptop, frying every component. Oh, how I cried that day).
I have a BBC Model B, a Sinclair +2, 2 Sinclair +3s, a 128k Spectrum, a Commodore 16 Plus 4, an Olivetti Prodest PC-1 (with monitor), and my oldest Pentium-class is a Dell Latitude CPi D266XT with several more machines from the same stable and of similar vintage. They all work. Oh, I have an Epson PX-4 as well which would work if I had a power adapter or a battery clip for it. Should I count my Psion Series 3?
subcode graphics is in parts 2 (text) and 3 (graphics) of the updated Redbook. 'Course, what're you going to do with an entire 480 interlaced lines of real estate and 256 colours? I can't see Terminator: Genisys looking particularly appealing on that.

You seem to have a problem with that.

yes, it is.
I quote:
"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury..."
When you "take the Fifth" you are refusing to answer on the grounds that to do so would incriminate yourself.
APK has the answer.

I've got an Epson PX-4. Same vintage.
yes. I have a few.

I will clarify: these are original game images I'm running, not Java ports and not DOSBox ports.

mainframe platforms run on emulators now! I mean, what?? Big Iron, on a frickin' LAPTOP!?

I have a Dell Core2 Duo with 4/3GB I run Kerbal Space Program on. Laugh all you want, I still get 20fps on it.
there is serious money in REALLY old gear.

hm...
1. didn't know that, all I know is that it was announced. :)

I'm so deadpan, even I don't know...
