"In New York alone, eight people hit 2,904 ATMs in 10 hours, withdrawing $2.4 million."
OK, if they split up and worked individually, that means 363 ATMs per person in 10 hours, which is around 36 ATMs per person per hour. Each of those 8 people would have to average under 2 minutes per ATM over the course of 10 full hours without interruption. Even if you had a really well-planned route, that seems like an impossible pace.
I'm not sure you'd call it practical, but there's at least one exchange, http://mpex.co/, where you can apparently trade bitcoin options. A bearish position would involve buying puts and/or writing calls. Options are risky in the best of circumstances, and btc volatility and the lack of a mature market greatly magnifies that risk. Even if you are right about btc going down in value, timing and liquidity issues could easily cause you to lose 100% of the money you risk (or worse in the case of writing naked options).
Which leads to the other way to make money in bitcoin...
5. Create a bitcoin exchange and charge transaction fees.
I fear some people would trust the technology to keep their family safe instead of themselves.
Why fear? People are going to die of avoidable accidents in their homes. Just try not to be be one of them. That's the extent of the power you have over this "problem".
I'm not sure why you think you're correcting me - you said the same thing I did.
Me: "You are billed as if your phone is subsidized even if it is not."
You: "The cost of the plan is a fixed amount, subsidized or not."
And how, exactly, is that not a standard cell service contract?
With a standard cell contract, your recurring charges stay the same indefinitely. You are billed as if your phone is subsidized even if it is not.
It would be a real coup if he managed to get his stupid site linked to on the front page of slashdot.
Ah, yes, there it is.
It's about time someone recognized that stenvar, slashdot user number 2789879, is the aggregation of all American thought. Thanks for noticing.
T-Mo is unlikely to be better than for you than AT&T in terms of coverage.
That said, I've had T-Mo for a few years now. I have been happy with the service and innovative features, am thrilled with the new cheaper plans, and would never consider going back to AT&T with their nickle-and-diming (and once or twice Benjamin-ing with roaming charges).
One major barrier between you and a job is your terrible resume. Take some time off from whatever the hell ROLL20 is and work on your resume. Use sentences. The one-page rule is a thing of the past. Just make a timeline, with consistent formatting, of what you have been working on, most recent first.
Company
Dates
Job title
1-2 paragraph description.
Use sentences in the description. Use active rather than passive language ("I did something." Not "Something was done.") If the company was just you or you-with-some-friends, use a company name and mention it was a sole proprietorship in the description. Use dry, objective language. "As lead programmer on "Foozy Whatzit", I implemented the core game logic, rendering, and audio code in ActionScript. I implemented a level editor for internal users in C++ on Windows."
Don't claim fame. Don't claim you're good at games. Nobody cares. Not even game companies really do (I've worked at three.) You have pride in those accomplishments, but as they were over a decade ago, they have little relevance on a current resume. If you must, put them at the bottom with the eagle scout stuff, and only when applying to game companies.
Don't use exclamation points ever on a resume. A resume is business writing, and it's a point-by-point list of things to discuss during a job interview.

You are literally killing baby kittens when you complain about such usage of this word. If a wordsmith like Mark Twain can use it as an intensifier, so can AC.
I rented an amazing apartment in Amsterdam last summer. I did the research, found a highly rated apartment with a beautiful canal view in one of the nicest parts of town. Had a kitchen and laundry for a week at a better price than a cheap hotel. I was just booking for 2 and did not consider whether it was licensed. If I were booking for 16, I'd make sure to check that a place is properly licensed beforehand.

FTFY.
> Windows is far more secure than Java these days. There isn't a lot of active "load a webpage and your computer is owned" exploits going around
To be fair, the typical Java exploit actually goes "load a webpage, Java downloads a Windows executable, runs it, and your computer is owned".
