politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » Here’s a funny thing. Polls that carry out fieldwork online are 4-9% more favourable to the “big 2″ than phone surveys
The big methodology difference is in sampling. The phone firms used randomised dialling and theoretically anybody with a landline, and now mobile, can be included.

Answered you re video recording and editing h/w and s/w on the previous thread.
I've oodles of screengrabbed video sitting on my T2 DVR that I want to save to a hard format too - urgh, so annoying. I feel a whole weekend sat on the carpet fiddling about is due.
90000 is equivalent to 1.08 million UK wide !!!
Incidentally the comments made by here mother I completely believe, I have some experience here since I employee a number of working class filipinos, and teach filipino children every day.

Anything you have already have recorded onto any device can be copied, as long as it's not encrypted and the box has an RCA or S Video output you're good, not forgetting the red and white RCA plugs for stereo sound. You can also record surround sound because standard Dolby surround is recorded on the stereo channels (not 5.1).
EDIT Re VTS is that an encoding format like MP3? or is it actually an encrypted format, there's a difference, lots of editing software will accept lots of different encoding formats and allow you to save it in the format you like. I think MP4 is one of the standard video encoding formats.

And ultra dweebs think she can't buy a garage for 2 million in the same way she abysmally failed to eat a horse when she was so hungry.
However, 'You can't just point at something and tax it' is a very good line.
The differences in the results between the methods are significant for one to be clearly systemically wrong. The question is which one.
It probably comes down to turnout and particularly with the new UKIP supporters. Panel membership is unlikely to include many politically disengaged (I know YouGov and the others poll for much more than politics but the sort of people who sign up for polling panels are likely to be the sort to be more engaged in society at most levels, including politics - in other words, they contain a disproportionately small number of non-voters). By contrast, the phone pollsters are picking up more former non-voters who now say they'll vote, and in particular, vote UKIP. There is also the related question of prompting, which antifrank covered in an excellent post on his blog the other day.
How legitimate are those findings? My inclination would be to favour those which give less rather than more weight to those who didn't vote in 2010.
"Former welfare minister Frank Field said the [Thornberry] incident was ‘the most serious thing that has happened’ to Labour - ‘because it gives vent to what everybody’s guts are telling them about us’.
‘It’s the north London set we’ve got to control. They are a Berlin Wall trying to prevent us reaching out to our voters and like the Berlin Wall they’ve got to be demolished.
‘Ed’s trying to move us on immigration and welfare and with one blast of a tweet she wrecks that and puts us back to square one. The real problem we have is that there’s a whole group of them.’"

Also the top rated readers comment in that article states:
"Saturday's poll in the Mirror shows that 71% of its' readers feel that UKIP would be a fresh start for the UK and a poll in today's Sun shows UKIP on 28% and Labour on 25% at the General Election. Labour is a dead man walking."
Not seen anything about that poll here?

I have bought stuff here and they are reputable and helpful from my experience. Phone them and ask their advice, they're a lot cheaper than me :-)
This is similar or identical to the one I use, it's probably a newer version of the one I have, it looks the same but that doesn't mean much because I bought mine a few years ago, it's £40.

That is all.
As usual PT is wrong.
Agreed. Ironically, that would go in favour of online polls even though they come from a small class of people - the politicos.
Or, really discount the 2010 non voters by say 75%.
Incidentally, was Reckless' less than expected majority due to many non 2010 voter in the end not turning up - as expected ?
I am not sure about fish and chips, but Mike would do well to tax reheated arguments on here.
- It was a Con/UKIP battle, which relatively few seats will be in 2015 and the big picture certainly won't be.
- The polls were taken over quite a long period and their accuracy is difficult to assess given how much campaigning went on afterwards.
- Turnout (or, before the event, likelihood to vote) for a by-election is lower than at a GE and may disproportionately affect those planning on voting for a minor party so again it's difficult to read across from one to the other.
We should be cautious about applying too closely the lessons from R&S, such as they are, to polling for the GE.
He has avoided tax by leaving the country. I don't blame him.
If you want a good tax take, make it reasonable, not punitive.
Desperately sad how people need to think that these types are any good for the UK, shows how far down the ladder we have dropped, need to count foreigners to be able to say we win anything.
The team itself is based in Brackley and is a significant British business. It and he are good news for Britain.
I suppose one day you will wake up and find yourself in the real world. One where labour are not threatening to tax people at a total of over 60% of their earnings.
Which type of polling has proved most accurate in recent elections.
Phone or online anybody know?
A recommendation re dvd capture on prev thread. (MakeMKV)

LOL, If looking through a telescope makes you clever then I have been very wrong. Another sychophant wittering on about lawyers, get a life you dimwit.
Why has the sainted virgin not given one of her garages to charity as they are so meaningless to her. Then you crown it all by impersonating a donkey and state that as you teach some foreign people and employ some as skivvies no doubt that she must be great. I have really been taught a lesson, I bet you were also playing a violin when you were posting that.

HiHo
Not that I said any of those things.
For someone so 'intelligent' you have a real problem considering she's a minor nobody in the scheme of things.

Philip , I was merely commenting on the idiot you replied to by following the thread, apologies if it appeared I was berating your good self.
1) place 12 quid bet on Labour not getting majority
2) Buy basic membership with SNP for 12 quid
Wonder which one should pay out better for an ABL?
:-)
I could just rip the whole thing and do it at will - or copy AN Others rip using peer2peer.
I really do wonder why the distributors of DVDs are still stuck in pre-ripped CD land - it's exactly the same issue. So IT geeks get round it instead and either pirate or sell me software to do it.
No problem, happy to be berated when deserved.

I'm not against selling off state assets, but these seem to be at rather knock-down prices.
Far more troubling is that Labour plan to 'reduce the deficit' by doing so, rather than reducing national debt. Now this may seem like semantics, but it seems to me to be precisely the sort of statement that means we should be very scared of Labour's economic plans. Sane people do not sell their cars to cover their credit card interest for the month.
Theresa May has spent four years claiming she was on track.
David Cameron said in May 2014 the target for net migration - the difference between the number of people coming into the UK and those leaving - was "perfectly achievable".
Theresa May has said today.The UK is "unlikely" to meet its target for reducing immigration.
Oh well another broken promise for the list at GE2015
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/david-cameron-urged-admit-you-4678006
"But Home Secretary Mrs May appeared to downgrade the pledge earlier this month when she said the target was merely a “comment” after being unable to bring herself to call it a “promise”."
Just feeling smug getting all my bits of AV liquorice talking to each other - though I feel the need to get a whiteboard and draw a network diagram as they're talking Esperanto and I don't have a clue what is being sourced from what media server/device. And just when I figure it out - one of the buggers turns themself off and I don't know WTF is going on to get back to where I was!
Remind me who was that leading cheerleader for the nats? Shurely you cannot be sherious?
The 45p tax rate has pulled in more than the 50 p tax rate put in place for the last 27days 16 hours 45mins and 30 seconds of the previous Labours 13 years of government. ( paired down to the second to try and make the Labour guys to feel better) It has been entirely higher for the entire term of the coalition (except for above aforementioned period of last Labour government)
Who could also forget Gordon's removal of the 10 p tax band?
Would this be a bad time to bring up flags on houses ?
