D) Get a part time job to cover the cost of your roommate's rent while you get another roommate or a cheaper place to live. E) Just sign up for the public dole and start suckling at the gub'ment teat.
It's not a great life, but there's a whole world of people living on less than $300/week. Even with a modest $800/mo after taxes, with no public assistance of any sort you can eat, have your own studio apartment, and take the bus to work -- just like everyone you've ever seen on the bus does. Do you have to get a roommate - or just rent a room - if you live somewhere where housing is expensive? Probably. Do you have to eat "poor people food" from actual grocery stores? Probably.
But this idea that you're somehow OWED more than private living, food and shared transportation for the most basic of jobs is silly.
He might be suplimenting his income by clicking on bitcoin ads all day long (or having a script do it), but he's not panhandling enough in just Bitcoins to do that. Getting paid in uBTC is tedious at best. You couldn't ge a single pack of the cigarette's he's smoking that way.
Fry: Well sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio, and in magazines, and movies, and at ball games... and on buses and milk cartons and t-shirts, and bananas and written on the sky. But not in dreams, no siree.
Asking for more licenses is only proof that there's still money to be made by taxi companies. The market may be saturated, but taxi drivers still earn enough to show up tomorrow while spending half their day waiting in line.
Aside, the payment model for taxi-drivers vary from city to city. In some locations, they're employees, getting paid an hourly and a cut of the fares and tips. In other locations, they're contractors, renting the taxi for a flat fee and hustling to earn enough fares to cover their shift-long (or day long) rental fee on the taxi. Have a slow day in the later scenario? You lost money.
Vegas is the standard "hourly+cut" model. Phoenix is a rent-and-earn model.
Many gated communities use simple fixed-code garage openers, and it's ALWAYS cheaper to not have to hand out 200 new remotes than to keep using the same dated technology.
When many of these systems break, the get fixed with refurb old technology.
Bioware still makes great games, despite EA owning them.
They've spent pretty much the last DECADE making two games -- Mass Effect and Dragon Age -- both of which were, in a word, awesome. [Some argument can be made about the ending of ME3 being weak, but it doesn't ruin a great franchise.]
Before that they did such duds as Neverwinter Nights and KOTOR.
EA or not, I'll eat whatever Bioware is serving with a smile.
As "Barely Legal," "Completely Legal," and plain old "Legal" are all binary functions with the same parameters, they are represented by the simple Venn diagram on the next line.
So, by your definition, all software is functioning perfectly at all times, since whatever instructions they have are de facto right?
Uh oh. Bluescreen and all of my credits are gone. Sorry, not a malfunction. The software did as it was programmed to do, and sometimes that includes crashes.
It would sometimes give him 10x more money than it should, because the software "wasn't malfunctioning."

Hipster bums lurk near library parks near me.
There's wonderful gazeebos with sockets and nearby public WiFi.

The means to prepare rice? Seriously?
The homeless can't cook, but anyone with heat and water can prepare rice.
Hand sanitizer >> Sterno.
Says who?

I forgot that we've run out of ditches to dig, trucks to unload and trash to pick up.
Not everyone has the physical acumen to dig ditches, but they can work in the day-care center for the ditch digger's kids.

Nope.
Not buying it.

It's a trivial easy cause to pull you over.
Once you've been pulled over, it's a new game of finding a trivial easy cause to initiate a search.
I mean, c'mon, I totally smelled a drug-like odor. Guess I was mistaken. You're free to go.... ....that is, if I didn't find anything.
Don't make this hard on yourself. It's a pain in the ass to get the drug dog over here and make pretend he gave the search signal.
What part of rural dumbfuckastan still has phone systems that old? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossbar_switch
Leela: Didn't you have ads in the 21st century?"
Fry: Well sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio, and in magazines, and movies, and at ball games... and on buses and milk cartons and t-shirts, and bananas and written on the sky. But not in dreams, no siree.
And, in the case of the 360, risk having your box banned from XBL forever.
Your intuition is always dead on when you fulfill your own prophecies.
I'm sure those grapes over there are sour. You didn't want them anyway.
I'm just guessing here, but there's probably some education broadcasts on the internet somewhere...
100% of species that went extinct in our lifetime were discovered first.
Pretty clear correlation, 'eh?

An all electric one can probably DRIVE in circles in San Fran cheaper than parking when not in use...
Now it just needs in-drive refueling.
How about on my tablet?
Can I use a 4GB database there?

Yikes.
They don't use Bioware's name in anything.
Other than the mediocre Old Republic, they've only done Mass Effect and Dragon Age since 2008.
Nothing else has their name on it.

Absurd.
