Don't forget the many automated proxy sites that allow you to create as many IPs + logins with a single click (mostly used for warez downloads with rapidshare and friends). Most of them are actually new and did not exist (at such a large scale) a few years ago...

Rep:
It is frowned upon, but we do have non-IP related measures in place to detect. It's not, however, something we go very far to try to stop. That's strictly for registration though and has nothing to do with how the polls are audited. As I mentioned previously - everyone is more than welcome to vote (and join).
PostgreSQL of course, apart other things, the license is BSD! I can't understand why people are still using MySQL.
Oracle already bought InnoDB, and the MyISAM engine is just too old.
Also, MySQL doesn't support transactions on altering tables, so if I have to change the DB structure (which always happens), I have to stop the site and tell the users: "Oh, please wait a while... MySQL doesn't support transactions...".
actually it [Kexi] will also do standalone file based database. quite simple to use and perfect for smaller requirements.
It uses SQLite as its inbuilt database. SQLite is much more scaleable than you would think. Kexi is on the right track here; has big plans to be the next easy DB for real users, and may well succeed.
There are some posts, reading it seems that is advertisement of Firebird.
Some users create fake accounts only for the purpose of voting.
Jeremy, you will have to do something. You are correct that everybody has right to vote here. But active and legitimate users should be given more weight-age.
