There are already millions of people who can't afford housing, because the price floor created by minimum wage is preventing them from earning anything at all. Minimum wage causes more unemployment, but a higher average standard of living for those who are employed.
Put yourself in this situation: you are hopelessly poor, and the only way you manage to eat is because you beg for money. You can't afford anything other than food, and you're sleeping on a park bench or something every night. Now, I'm the employer. I'm required to pay someone $8 per hour. Due to the excess in supply, I have 20 applicants to choose from. I can choose one of the 10 college kids who showed up to their interviews in the nice clothes their parents bought them, or I can choose you, the guy wearing dirty pillowcases with holes cut in them. You look like a lazy bum, and that's because, well, you probably are. I could point you down the road to the farm that would be happy to pay you $4 an hour to pick fruit, but I won't because the police recently shut it down. Bummer, that $4 an hour could have really helped you get on your feet. Of course, this isn't really how it goes, because the taxpayers pay these homeless people welfare. That means that these people are getting a free lunch without contributing any of their labor to society. Not only that, but paying people welfare comes with a lot of overhead, because you have to pay the people who man the welfare office. The bums are literally dragging the rest of us down with them.
Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_floor For those who don't follow links: Price floors set above equilibrium market prices cause surpluses. A historical (and current) example of a price floor are minimum wage laws, laws specifying the lowest wage a company can pay an employee (employees are suppliers of labor and the company is the consumer in this case). When the minimum wage is set higher than the equilibrium market price for unskilled labor, a surplus of labor is created (more people are looking for jobs than can find jobs). A minimum wage above the equilibrium wage would induce employers to hire fewer workers as well as cause more people to enter the labor market. The equilibrium wage for a worker would be dependent upon the worker's skill sets along with market conditions.
Minimum wage is a price floor, which increases the excess supply (read: poor people.) Not the answer to anything.

Looks like "the_womble" to me. And now a word from Internet retard #763666!

Has anyone actually run a packet sniffer to check on this? Can someone post some wireshark output?
Then can't you just take out the platters and put them in a different drive?
