Selling items for BTC: relatively easy
Set up Dwolla & MtGox account: easy enough, and very cheap, but takes a while (3-5 business days for bank->Dwolla transfer if lucky), and if you're buying a large volume, you'll likely need to provide ID & whatever else is asked for
Trading PPUSD (Paypal) for BTC: Easy, but you'll likely pay a significant premium IF you're able to find anyone willing to take the risk
BitInstant: Pretty darn easy. There's a pretty significant fee for the convenience, however.
Mining: Pretty easy if you already have a higher-end ATI card. Otherwise, hard and will take a fairly long time.

You might be able to get away with finding a GLBSE-listed company still selling IPO shares, then sell PPUSD to them for shares which you can then sell on GLBSE for BTC.

There is also a high-fee (but instant) way to buy Bitcoins using your phone service called DialCoin, but their site appears either down or very slow.

Yes, but you'll probably be practically required to either send the item first or use escrow given you have no rep, however.

I think the time-online requirement is something like 2-5 hours before you're allowed to post in other boards. ETA: 4 hours -- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=15958.0

What's swatting?

What's swatting?

Remember the “phone phreakers?” The term hit our national consciousness in the 1970s, when a magazine reported on a small group of techie troublemakers who were hacking into phone companies’ computers and making free long-distance calls.

Today, there’s a new, much more serious twist on this old crime. It’s called “swatting,” and it involves calling 9-1-1 and faking an emergency that draws a response from law enforcement—usually a SWAT team.

Are you the guy behind the tor swatting service? Note that 'swatting services' is illegal everywhere.

 I am on tor but don't do the swatting service on there. That is some other guy. But I do know it is illegal everywhere. But I still do it.
