Who knew @C to the J would be the first one kicked off of the Turk island?

 

[tricker]

You earned a total of 5556 points in the task.

This earns you a bonus equivalent to £2.8, paid in your local currency.

Wondered why HIT finder hadn't went off in a while. Closed it when 6s posted forever ago. :|

Instances like these remind me of the unification of this community. Thank You Matilda Jones! I'm glad you too see him falling short of being the chosen one.
C to the J YOU'RE OUT!

I have linux installed on mine, the only limits so far is inquisit (though i use vnc if home to do it through pc...i hate sitting at a desk, (finally found I had actual health reasons for this)), and stickys. I can't use my crappy ahk scripts but there is an autokey app for linux I'll someday learn, anyway thought I'd throw in my 2 cents....am saving up for super-laptop for someday, as i do agree it's preferable if possible. For the $150 I spent, I was thinking it would be less slow than using a laptop at this price. Oh...and what the heck is that service,i forgot the name, freedom or something? Basically it's a windows interface on your chromebook through a paid service, like $15 a month. For 'super' portability reasons this would be nice i suppose, esp if it got rid of the few limitations I mentioned running into.

If I'm to be honest... the vast majority of turkers on the forum reading this conversation would be just fine with a chrome book. Because they wouldn't even use that to its fullest capabilities. But there ARE some out there who do have the motivation to expand their skillsets and don't make excuses to themselves about it. The advice that I give is generally aimed at them to help them make better choices out of the gate. If there's one thing I've learned from participating in these forums for the past ~4 years... it's that there are a lot of angry turkers who want to make more money, but don't want to do the things that are actually required to fulfill that desire. I'm typically not talking to them.

Also... the last thing you want to do on a lap sized phone is pay a monthly fee to use a resource intensive virtual box to do resource intensive things. You can do that 100% for free... but it would still be doing resource intensive things in a resource intensive virtual box on a lap sized phone. Don't get me wrong... if the chromebook is the only thing you have or can afford... rock that bitch out and make some money... but don't trade your ferrari in for a minivan if you are wanting to win a street race.

Did we already talk about the Jonathan Grenier bonus?

I would like to talk about the Jonathan Grenier rejection.

I have no record of you completing the survey. WTF?? Anybody else

Is there anyway to automatically input the name of the hit into turkmaster when I press the "Watch this hit?" button?

 

[Squatty]

To think you were one of the chosen ones "Hit Poster." Strike one, grabs some other member's expired Vanderbilt Hit and doesn't post to forum first. Strike two, states batch is personal batch, when in fact their are no Hits left. I wonder what strike three will be.

I posted the Vanderbilt a long time ago

No. Turkmaster doesn't look at the hit at all. It only concerns itself with the url.
