I then started from scratch with: 1) rm -fr mit-scheme-9.0.1 2) tar xzf mit-scheme-9.0.1-x86-64.tar.gz 3) cd mit-scheme-9.0.1/src 4) ./configure 5) make compile-microcode In hindsight it may have only been necessary to repeat from step #4.

From my experience, if you give a HIT 24 hours, most of the people who respond do it within the first 4 hours. I've had instances of it being fulfilled within the first 5 minutes, but many of them are bots (automated responses).

No, I didn't specify anything. this was an experiment so i want to open it up as much as possible, that's how you learn. There was a lot of people who didn't do the required task though. > I’m considering using MT for a art project. But the “timing” of

That is generous if you. The winner is cute. I think you were biased. ;-) There are a few with same wall/background but their location varies from India to NY. It could be a coincidence. I read somewhere that a majority of mechanical turkers were Americans. I am surprised about the number of Indians. When you created the "HIT" did you specify US only qualification?

Mechanical-Turk, please show me 20 people who look like me (male, mid-30s, medium build, no facial hair, blond hair, etc.) wearing blue shirts. Perhaps this could be used by clothing retailers?
