hahaha, you're funny. If anything I'm the champion of poor people. I'm not USian, we do not look down on the poor (at least not as a national pasttime), and while I was poor and went on to be middle class, I quit my job and live like a poor person currently to pursue my health.
Fact is, you aren't making minimum wage, and you're doing it for a clear purpose as it's just the bottom rung of a very long ladder, and you can hack it. Congrats, you're a man.
Then again, there's something to be said about graduate students as a whole...
It's more than enough to get buy. You really are a spoiled brat and can't call yourself a man if you can't get by on $10k a year.
I said get by, if you plan on living like that forever you're just as dumb as the idiot paying over $1000 for rent when they make minimum wage.
The funniest part is that most of the people complaining are USians and they actually have things cheaper than say people in Canada or Mexico where people get by on a LOT less.
You do know the poultry industry's 'solution' for their over feeding regimes of garbage the animals aren't meant to eat is to restrict all their movement right? Then just package up the bits of the 'unfortunates' and presto mechanically seperated meat. Though one or two broken or mutated limbs can just be hacked off and sold as a utility chicken.
No, we definitely do not need more ostrich farms and more of these 'solutions'.
Can we please stop with all the childish spoon fed 'discussion' builders.
We get it, you want the newbs who like the shiny to feel at home, but you're just pissing everybody else off by intentionally lowering the topics and quality of discussion!
Almost never happens here, especially after a precipitation event. The only time it's a problem is when you have long standing water because of poorly designed roads that don't actually divert water away. You know, kind of what this is designed for.
What is with people and the inability to admit they're wrong?
Oh, look at the amazing counter-point you came up with. Let's scrap the whole thing just because of something that rarely occurs in just a very small percentage of places. After all, if it's not good for the outliers, there's no possibility it could be good for any where else right?
You do realize that it's design to move water right?
Amazingly, the designers actually have heard of this thing called rain and have heard of things like flooding and then they actually designed around that.
um, you do know glass doesn't allow water to penetrate it for freeze/thaw to become a problem right?
What would be interesting to see is the cost comparison of heating the panels to keep them ice/snow free and how much we spend in snow removal and time lost to traffic.

Yeah, that would be dreadful.
Hell, judging by recent developments, by that time all languages should have evolved to Lisp.
It's hard to take anything seriously said by someone who is concerned about image. You're cheap and concerned about image, what are you a teenager?
Or have you and the person who modded you insightful forgotten how to do math?

If you live where there's crazy real estate and you're making minimum wage, you're not very bright and should move away.
If you have a child...
How does your country treat it's idiots, mentally ill, homeless, disenfranchised?
The fact you can't figure that out assures your place on the totem pole.

It wasn't earning him any Karma!
This in Slashdot! Of curse it is.

Try europe.
Whether the area you live in can afford it, or deem it necessary, is a totally different thing.

BTW, I live in Canada.
All the ***** in the world can't wash away your dreariness.

Not used to intelligent design are you?
So you missed the part where it's designed to shunt water away right?
Isn't it impossible for solar cells to melt significant snow?
Did they ever say otherwise?
Reading is your friend.
In the rest of the normal world we have this thing called 'bad weather' and all the money possible can't keep up with fixing the roads.

Do you know how many gods you will anger by reducing their days of worship?!?!
Now with more temporal delays than slashdot and less comments!
