AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The worst part is I called once already (and waited on hold for 30m) a month ago and they said they would send the form but never did

All of my mturk scripts via AHK are running on my main machine. As for browser based scripts and extensions I don't have any probelms between browsers and machines. My phone I use mostly for when a survey requires Android or for doing various usertesting tasks that are phone based.

Virtual desktops are exactly that. You can set it up so so that you have programs/windows running on a separate screen that that you can move between. Linux based desktop managers (like having sticky windows that will move from one virtual desktop to the next) are a lot better than Windows but Windows does have them as well. As for windows, without custom software I think they started including it since Windows 7 but am not sure. If you have 10 you definitely have the option.

Amazon limits the number of page requests you are allowed to make by account. You can run things on two separate computers if you'd like, but if you make too many page requests you will keep getting errors. Also the TOS says its not okay to let scripts run at a high rate of speed all day long but I'm not sure how strictly this is enforced.

Thanks for the information y'all.

Yesterday people were saying it was a different panda every time. I give up on Christopher, it's been like 4 days.

Oh weird. I caught the same one two days in a row (because I spaced out and forgot when I got on yesterday and turned the panda on again).

Okay, here's the thing about kids.

When we get in relationships there are a shit ton of things about our partner that we find annoying as hell. Be honest. You can love many things about them but we all have really fucking annoying personality traits. We overlook these traits in our partners. Why? Booty. Plain and simple. Good sex can make someone forget that they are in a relationship with a serial killer.

Our kids inherit our personalities, including all those obnoxious, annoying to the bone traits. The difference is that we have no sexual interest in our children (at least I hope no one here does.) So without the booty filter we suddenly see all of that annoying dip shittery in all of it's rage-inducing glory. This is why our children annoy the living piss out of us. As they get older their personalities become stronger and it gets more difficult to tolerate.

There you go.

I need some advice. I did some off-turk work for a requester about 10 days ago. I had done a hit for him here and he asked if I was interested in more of the same work. I said yes, because they'd already paid me. I did the work, submitted it and got an email about 4 days later from him asking for an invoice from paypal. Paypal was being weird and wouldn't send the invoice, so I sent a requester for the money. Nothing happened in 2 days so I sent another email and he replied saying he didn't get a request and to send him a PDF invoice. I did that and today I get an email from someone else claiming they work for the requester, saying they need a W-9 to pay me. What do I do?

I voted!
Question though, are we supposed to be able to see the poll results after voting? I thought for Crowd Pleaser the results are normally hidden. No big deal, just wondering if that was on purpose.
