Fiere Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Since I always use the computers on campus to FL, would it be feasible for me to vote every time I'm on a different computer, or would that not work because they all use the same thingamajigger? You know, network whatever something. I'm not very computer literate, I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chayesh Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 If they share an proxy server, you might be peeing up the proverbial rope voting multiple times since they'd possibly have the same IP. I would assume that their system is IP checking. Perhaps it's not. Or your school's comps might have different IP's. EDIT: If it helps, you've posted to this forum from a total of 6 different IP's, but not unique IP's, just variations of the same root IP. Not sure what the voting sites are checking, but I would think it's enough to show as different votes. I wouldn't think they are checking host domains.

Chayesh Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Similar to spitting in the wind, but infinitely more difficult and messier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiere Posted April 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Maybe I'll have to go on a voting marathon one day, vote in all the computers in the on campus library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieman Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 I've grown a habit of hanging out in my friends dorms just to use their computers and vote from theirs. But yes, I still pay hookers to vote for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 "sand which." Ha. http://www.whatismyipaddress.com/ If the last three numbers're different, it's a different IP address. They wouldn't block based on the rest, because smaller ISPs might (potentially) only give out 256 addresses, assigned on sign-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warpnow Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 TMS checks both Ip and Cookies. I have used dialup to vote 10+ times in one day before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
