New Poll Ideas

[DereX888]

i like the star wars poll :thumbup:

[yoda313]

Or (this one might have been done already)...

Which is the best Star Wars movie?

Options 1 to 6: List Star Wars Episodes 1 - 6
7. None of them
8. All of them

Yeah I'm pretty sure a variation of that has been done already.

I know there was one about the prequels. And I'm sure there was an original trilogy poll too.

[Nelson37]

Not sure if this could be done, but how about some compound questions?

For Instance : 1/2 D1 looks good and my TV size is 19, 27, 32, 40, 46, larger, and 1/2 D1 looks bad and my TV size is 19, 27, 32, 40, 46, larger

Or Real-time encodes look good and my source is VHS, Sat, analog cable, digital cable, and Real-time encodes look bad and my source is VHS, Sat, analog cable, digital cable

Or I like Xvid and usually encode Action, comedy, documentary, sports
and Xvid sucks and usually encode Action, comedy, documentary, sports.

Often the individual's answer to a poll question is strongly affected by another factor not mentioned in the poll, this tends to skew the results.

I think such questions would yield some more valuable information, such as 1/2 D1 seems fine until you get over 32" TV, Real-time encode is fine for quality source, Xvid doesn't do sports well, etc. These are examples only.

D'you think things are BETTER simply because they are newer ?
Are dvdr's better just because they gotten to higher speeds ? Are dvd writers better quality simply because they are later editions ? Are movies better just because they are new ? Or, are things/quality getting worse because they are being made cheaper and tackier for more profit ?

[slimpickins]

here's a good poll

forget space/money/time restricitons, think free

a) 50" hdtv with just tv
b) 28" crt tv with 1000 dvd library





which option best suits u

[Cornucopia]

#1 in one room, and #2 in another.

...well, you said it was free!

(prob. #2)

Scott

[slimpickins]

[Cornucopia]

Sorry, I really had no clue they port it to windoze already
... but if they didn't, i can tell you already: Safari users consist of 3% to 4% of all users (same as MAC users percentage :P )

edit:
however this reminds of important option that i have left out:
instead of "Other" it should be "TGPO browser"
