Unique identifier
I am trying to construct a poll where a person can vote once per computer. The result and some sort of unique identifier will be stored in a database. The only one I can think of is an IP address but then if there is a router situation happening, then people in the same house or coffee shop could not vote on the poll after 1 person has done it already. I could do cookies but then all someone has to do is delete their cookies and vote again. What other type of unique identifier could I use for someone on a per-computer basis?

Re: Unique identifier
Setup a user registration... easiest way to do it... cant run it by mac address the only other unique Identifier is going to be the IP... then cookies and sessions... which can all be manipulated... Go with a user system...
