[mordea]

What sort of download speed should i be looking at if my speed went up to 200MBPS...what does that translate to in MBS?

25 megabytes/sec

Yeah, but did he send you an email saying "It looks like you've got a hang of the task already."

 

[dracodormiens]

that $9 Galileo hit wasn't bad. It made me feel really dumb though. But for $9 i'm ok with that.

Its been floating around awhile. Anyone actually do it?

Actually.... does sunchips still make their bags god-forsakenly loud? I sit close enough to the fridge that I could hear someone trying to un-crinkle that bag if I put my lunch inside it. Good idea - bad idea?

 

[heeheehahaha]

I think they're just switching names.

This seems to be a trend. Mohammed Shahanigian, Jon Brelig, those editing sentences HITs, (im assuming TomNod), and others...

maybe "improvements" on the requester side are prompting this?

Buy a small camera and film the room. Then blackmail them (and everyone else you catch doing unsavory things in the break room.)

i think they are trying to get different workers, so they switch to different names.

I like this, save your lunches and force favors/make monies.

It's coming over here. @aveline keeps pressuring me to change my name to Ave'sMinion

I'm thinking about it... I need to take my shower head off anyway and give it a CLR bath.

 

[aveline]

(im assuming TomNod)

To be fair, they've never seemed to be able to settle on a name. I think they've changed it at least 4 or 5 times in the last couple years.

 

[PhantomCatt]

First Brelig now Zing? I wonder why the requesters are starting to feel the need for a snazzy new name? Still confused...

The $4 will pay for a bottle of CLR. Win-Win
