Since I'd have to manually delete your votes from my DB, which I've done
before when a guy voted for IE about 20 times, I probably won't delete
yours.  I'm too lazy!  :)  I need to build a 'delete vote' function...

The IP address wouldn't work because a LOT of people are behind proxies
and/or ISPs that use one IP for entire regions.  But I've considered
combining the IP with the user agent (I already store both), and throw
out votes where both match a previous vote.  It /would/ stop a rare
legitimate vote, but the trade off would be worth it.
