CNN Paula Zahn's poll asks if you think * is wired!

:wtf:

or a any site that was showing repeatly in the refferer logs.

Are you saying that if we take a link from DU, it shows?

there's a HTTP variable for the "referrer"; that is, the site you were just at. Generally that means the site you followed a link from, but could also mean the site you were at before you punched it in.

that said, if I were an admin of one of these sites, I'd write code that would disregard votes referred from sites that show up in the logs too much.

and the poll still showed all zeros.

Try that. It shows up as 82%, 8%, 8%, and 3%. No totals, though.

(I use a different browser in fact to do this), the referring logs show the post as 'typed in' or 'bookmarked'. Or at least that's what they do on my own website. I usually do that with poll links posted here, even if it takes a few seconds more.

If you just click on the link, any company's website will usually keep track of where the 'referring' link is. Regular companies do this to see where their customers/referrals are coming from. I've been on forums where someone from a company will show up and post something because their webpage was receiving a lot of hits from the forum because someone posted the company's URL there.

I just voted, and it showed 0% for all responses :shrug:

:kick:

I won't vote... anybody know what the results are?

This happened last week when I tried to vote for Kerry after the debate. What's with it?

eom

Let's keep trying. I can hardly believe CNN is polling this! Of course, when so many people choose "Electronic Device," they'll probably ditch the poll, but still... They're asking! :wow: :toast: :headbang:

And they don't have choices for "back brace" or "How The Fuck Should I Know"!

I copied and pasted this from CNN Paula Zahn's site.

82% think Shrubbie was wired.

8%: Bulletproof vest.
8%: Bad Tailoring.

I actually think it was his own idiocy spewed out in that debate. Maybe it was jammed.

Walters tipped the scales and got CNN interested. :shrug: Hey, if Barbara can use her own wireless equipment to show how it gives the same profile as *'s bulge AND she has it on her back with a wireless earpiece that gives her info., a lot of people are suddenly very interested! Tomorrow night's debate is going to be verrrry interesting to many people!

device at 82%.

I didn't appreciate Paula's dig about the "vast leftwing conspiracy." She can kiss my a$$.

Disconnect them from the life support machine. They ain't coming back. Their brain is dead.

Now at 88% for electronic device with 3,326 total votes so far

The poll states that it was created at 18:25, but this message started about 5:oo pm or so...and no vote counts were initially available. If you voted prior to vote counts, vote again please.

3%---a vast left wing conspiracy

some kind of device.
