There are a number of gambling sites like Satoshi Circle & Satoshi Dice; a few marketplaces: BitMit, Flibbr  (http://flibbr.com/)(in development).

But really you need to set up on an exchange; Mt Gox, BTC-e, BitStamp etc. It will take a few days for your deposits to arrive. This is the quickest way to get them ATM.

One of the best ways to earn BTC without using faucets or mining is to visit BitcoinGet.com (http://www.bitcoinget.com/?r=15JHQoDH1Rmp8Bz5sA6t16w2pypweeetFM) and get paid BTC for completing simple online tasks and watching videos. The pay quite a lot for tasks considering there simplicity and they pay 50 μBTC for every video watched (though these only seem to be available a few times during the day).

270 Hashes per second?  That is less than nothing.  A somolian refugee would starve.  We are talking a faction of a US penny a decade.

No.  Not for 270 hashes per second.  I wasn't kidding 270 hashes per second is something on the order of less than 1 US cent per decade.

Bitcoin is money.  You get it the same way you get any other money.  Here are some common methods:

  • Provide a product or service and accept bitcoin as payment
  • Convince a charitable person or organization to give you bitcoin out of the kindness of their heart
  • Steal bitcoin
  • Scam (con) people out of their bitcoin
  • Acquire a small amount of bitcoin, then use gambling techniques and (if you are very lucky) win more bitcoin

Perhaps you'll notice that these methods work for any currency, and not just bitcoin.  You can expect that people won't be much more likely to turn over their bitcoin to you than they would be with any other money.
