You see trash, I see a tangible piece of human history that marks our transition into the space age. What I wouldn't give just to put my hand on such a piece of history and now I might be able to. And while it is possible that these parts could have damaged reef, the pictures indicate that these particular pieces were pulled from the sandy bottom. I understand where your thought is coming from but I see these as so much more than junk.

As a person supporting a not for profit, I wouldn't touch a 7 year old computer and deal with the issues involved. Sorry, we get plenty of 3 year old computers donated or offered regularly so we don't need someones ancient crap. A 7 year old computer brings all the issues of lack of available replacement parts, lack of drivers and poor performance and to boot they usually look like shit. 5 years is the cutoff, I wouldn't touch a computer older than that if I have to support it for day to day use by people who are not me.
Not sure if this is good for the PC games industry, or bad. It's good, because games with bad DRM shouldn't succeed. It's bad because I like PC games, and want the industry to focus on PC games again.
It's good all the way around.
What it shows is that PC users won't put up with really stupid ass DRM and poorly managed launches.
What surprises me is that Amazon would pull the listing, even with bad reviews, any sale is sale.
I didn't read the article, barely glanced at the summary. Simcity was cool in the 80's & early 90's, but now? I doubt it. If people are going to bring any old franchise back from the past, X-wing and Tie-fighter would rock...
Holy shit yes! One of my greatest memories from my early pc gaming days was Tie Fighter and the day I was able to stop using a mouse when I got my Sidewinder joystick! I would love to have Tie Fighter again.

My Galaxy S II has been updated from Gingerbread to Ice Cream Sandwich to Jellybean, that was in the span of 2 years. So far, so good.

You don't need to sneak them into cuba, you just bring them with you on vacation. I was not questioned when I went into Cuba with my own.
They have internet access in Cuba. Most people in cuba also have cell phones.
