Sounds like the MPAA is making inroads into Cuba. Opposition view at CubaNet." Greece, meanwhile, has banned all arcade games in an effort to stop illegal gambling." (Thanks, MediaBoy77.)

  1. Not that I like that dirty fucking fuckface Castro by Profane+Motherfucker · · Score: 0, Troll

    but consider this: the average Cuban is a dirt poor sorry ass shit shoveler who couldn't afford a fucking PC and send some PayPal cash to read SlashDot even if he could have access to them. The read /. article should be: Cubans are dirt fucking poor, cannot purcahse either carrots nor PCs. Sounds like a Castro troll, in all fucking honesty.
