Found your problem. You're going to be a poorfag for a while. Get used to it. If you really want some hobby money, you're going to have to sit down and plan your expenses/budget carefully and stick to it. You have to be aggressive about saving every cent you can. Especially look at your food costs, that shit adds up FAST if you don't watch it.

>>22734656
No serious the fuck do you want to play these games for? Latest graphics or something? How about you play some good shit preinstalled on your computer and do some work. Damn sure you can find some FUN in your major. Hell you could plop down and watch a video on TED or something if you feel lazy.

Time to be an adult. Get into debt. Borrow $500 for an i3 gaming desktop. Pay $18 a month until it's paid off. You said you had a decent job, or were you just lying?

Oh god my sides...

OP, open a savings account and have a certain percentage of your paycheck put into it automatically. You'll save cash without having to exercise discipline. You just need to train yourself to leave it the fuck alone.

there is no script to fill out captcha idiots. why would anyone pay you retards (<1 dollar an hour) to fill captchas if there are reliable scripts out there. this system is supposed to use humans in underdeveloped country where labour is ultra cheap.

captchas are meant to be unbreakable by bots. if it is broken on a regular basis, a new one comes out. so any "script" you have written would be worthless. unless of course you could make a general purpose image recognition algorithm that is fast and adaptable to break any captchas. but if you could do that you wouldn't be on /g/ considering doing this and you would be counting your billions.

but then again /g/ is full of clueless retards always

>>22734701
>TED TALKS
back to Reddit.

>>22734903
the point isn't to correctly fill out the captcha,

the point is to get the machine to think you did. or rather the script did,

Spambots have attacked 4chan multiple times even with captcha.

i know the rocking of the boat you are in.

first computer i build after going out onto my own.

got an athlon 4000+ for christmas, anticipating making an entire build.

not until another 4 months later did i get a mobo and power supply.

then another month later, a case.

another few months i got the psu ( i was using an oem up to that point)

finally, next christmas rolled around, and i got myself a 9500gt.

fucking shit. two 512 sticks, and a single 1gb stick. all 667mhz.

shit played morrowind at 1280/1024 on high settings.

and later, when i paird the 9500gt with a second for sli. i played oblivion and fall out 3.

>choosing to be in debt just because you're too impatient to save up money for a purchase

ITT American idiocracy general

Gosh, what's wrong with you people. Why would you ever want to be in any kind of debt. Where's the logic?

>>22734929
It makes your purchases secure and anonymous..

>>22734986
How does it make it any more secure than a credit card

>>22735004
you still use a credit card, it just has a go between.

>>22734681
One does not simply ``write a script to fill out captchas." The kind of captchas these spammers require are extremely difficult to OCR. A more realistic method would be to hunt for security exploits in the captchas, but then again it wouldn't work since the spam daemon is sending you a copy of the captcha image without the actual webpage that uses the API. If you want to make money like this, it's so much more realistic and profitable to just become a spammer. Farm a botnet and collect money from your ``clients."

>>22734968
If you have a good income you can manage debt quite easily, you dummy.

Also, Newegg has 12 months no interest. Get on that shit.

>>22734955

sorry bro, how can you get the machine to think you did unless your input is correct?

you are gonna hack google servers and flip the if true into if false?

once again you are replacing a very difficult solution with another very difficult one. but to be honest you have more chances at hacking google server than writing a "script" that can beat captchas.

>>22734968
There are obviously situations where debt can be preferable to the alternatives. A mortgage on a house (that you can actually afford) is preferable to rent. A student loan for a non-retarded degree can be beneficial.

that's what the financial industry have been telling you. you will also notice that they told a buncha people that they can buy a house they can't afford because prices will go up like a beautiful bubble and they can always refinance.

>>22735024
Okay so I'm just a bit confused

If someone pays me via paypal, the money goes right to my bank account?

>decent job
>can't afford a thousand dollar hobby
I think you need to reevaluate your definition of decent.

>>22735031

Cool story bro

If you made good income you wouldn't have to be in debt, period. The only time I'd understand being in debt is if it's something major like paying off hospital bills or paying for tuition.

Being in debt just to get the latest vidyas, cars, and LOLentertainment is just plain silly. Prove me wrong.

>Being in debt just to get the latest vidyas, cars, and LOLentertainment is just plain silly. Prove me wrong.

you are dumb. you can't prove subjective things like whether or not x and y is silly.

>>22735030
Perhaps one could utilize a Character Recognition algorithm, Have it divide the image by the amount of white space. then use the script(or a modified version thereof) to Identify the characters used in the "control word" on captchas, (which generally look quite similar/follow a common pattern)

Obviously it would cause you to would probably get quite a few failures. but if you could get it to where you were getting more right than wrong, and at a high enough volume that such failures were quickly made up for, you could be finding some profit.

paypal lets you manage money easier on the web. it is used by many services, making it very convenient.

>>22735213
but what I'm saying is, is my money stored by paypal, or does paypal only act as the middle man.

If I have $5 in my paypal account, do I have $5 in my bank account? Sorry, I know I'm really late to the paypal game. I've never cared enough before to ask

>>22735239
Nope. They are separate account funds. It takes 2-3 days to exchange money from Paypal to your bank account.

>>22735200

>mfw the one with the black square/white text was the correct character,

>>22735239

Just don't do stupid shit if you have money stored there. They'll freeze the funds.

the "control word" is the one with the black square.

There are really good flash games these days. See websites like Armor Games.

There are also good free to play games like TF2 and others on steam.

You can also play nerdy shit like rogue likes or dwarf fortress.

whats the site where they pay you to solve captchas?

that is a retarded question. when you have 5 dollars in the bank, does the bank have it or are they just the middle man? is your money even there? it cuuld just be just a particular orientation of some metal.

what does "money stored by paypal" mean? do they have cash in a vault? what about gold or government securities? do you expect them to have enough cash to cover all their accounts?

your question betrays how little you know or have thought about this, which leads me to believe you are 15.

>>22735485
>your question betrays how little you know or have thought about this, which leads me to believe you are 15.


I guess my question is then, is paypal a digital bank account sans the interest rate. And it seems that way

>>22735321
This could lead to an addition to the character recognition algorithm... a test/search for a black square or polygon of some sort.

from there, once the general shape of the polygon was identified, you could have the computer simply start identifying characters by whitespace, (as long as they fell within the black polygon's perimeter.)

>>22735335
>>22735335

>I'm sorry, but subjecting yourself to voluntary monetary slavery simply because you want to have the latest and greatest without instead saving up for them hardly seems like a choice, a reasonable one anyways.

irrelevant. you might think that. the world might think that. but that doesn't constitute a proof.

>>22735458
>>22735458

you could simply pirate. not to mention you are getting paid extremely poorly solving captchas. you will get more money working minimum wage job is second world country than solving captchas. not to mention the mind numbing boredom which would make you rage quit in 15 minutes.

>>22735515
>>22735515

>from there, once the general shape of the polygon was identified, you could have the computer simply start identifying characters by whitespace, (as long as they fell within the black polygon's perimeter.)

natural language belies the difficulty in doing that.

>>22735518
And you can't have anything like a car or a house without credit. You have to build that credit. Most good jobs will check your credit score as well.

>>22735515
your going to need to have your computer be able to do this at a rate of about once every 3 seconds. in addition to sending info back to the site, and ect. -note: just for one site...

>>22735518

Can't you see it man? They're profiting off your impatientness. Why would you let anyone take advantage of you like that?

>>22735510

>I guess my question is then, is paypal a digital bank account sans the interest rate. And it seems that way

your question seems to imply that interest rate is anymore an important incentive for people to deposit money in banks. this is not true. no banks give you enough interest to cover inflation, so you never make money from deposits. people use banks for convenience.

and this also begs the question of what constitute a bank account. there are many places where you can give them money and they will give you back. if you send too much money to your phone provider for example, they will put a debit on your account. from which they will subtract further payments. if you have enough money on, you could conceivably ask them to send back your money, which they would most certainly will, minus some fees. thereby making every utility a de facto bank account, if you characterise a bank account as some place where you can put money and get it back later.

paypal, at its core, is a service to accomodate internet purchases. most banks do this. most banks also invest their deposits. paypal also does this.

so really a bank is a set of different financial services. paypal overlaps this set. so whether or not paypal is a bnk depends on which part of this set you consider to constitute a bank.

none of this affects the provability of the statement "borrowing is silly".

also i would point that the statement is false. you can have things like a car or a house without credit. you simply need sufficient money to buy it.

So by your logic, being homeless is better than taking a house loan. I suppose you could rent, but is that better? You pay monthly your whole life and what do you have to show for it? Very few people have the kind of money necessary to buy a house and car outright.

I see your point with paying rent, but unless you can find a house you can afford, I don't know of any other options.

xbox 360: $199
hacking the 360 and pirating games: some research, making an effort. a lot less work then the 5 hours of minimum wage labour it takes to afford a single game

>So by your logic, being homeless is better than taking a house loan.
how the fuck is that my logic at all.
>I suppose you could rent, but is that better? You pay monthly your whole life and what do you have to show for it?
this implies rent = mortgage. which is simply false. not to mention in a mortgage you have increased risk for not being able to pay. you can't know the future or saying that you will be able to pay for 20 years straight is betting on nothing bad happening. which is generally a bad idea. in addition to other risk of actually owning a house.
>Very few people have the kind of money necessary to buy a house and car outright.
that doesn't mean you can make sweeping statement that everybody has to borrow. you could simply say " most people need to borrow to buy a house" instead you said:
>you can't have anything like a car or a house without credit.
