another top tip, is to cut the URL from where ever you found it, and paste it into a new IE window, so you don't get a "referral" / "forwarding" check. That's assuming they are clever enough to work it out. Be silly to all be logged as having jumped from the SAME site, eh, chaps?

Oh, and if you break your connection + redial, you get a new ip address from yuor provider. Atleast, mine used to distribute new ones for every login !

Are you that worried that more people will vote for than against that you want to cheat ??

Play fair, and the result will still be the same..Bear in mind that the Majority of people who are for the speed cameras have at best, a 2cv, and they probably don`t own/operate one of these new fangled technical things - computers, as they are too busy hugging all the bunnies they can find...

Well having read the DoT article, my first question would be how many people answered that original survey honestly? If the results from this are incorrect in the first place then any analysis performed on the data will lead to an incorrect answer.

Oh and remember that 95% of statistics are made up on the spot.

arent they clever...well not as clever as the wonders of IP spoofing and therefore multiple votes...


'mare,

How you gonna do your IP spoofing without persuading a serious amount of kit between you and the site to do source routing? You need a TCP connection to vote, and you can't do spoofed TCP connections without source routing. Most ISP backbones will drop soruce-routed traffic somewhere along the route.

Web proxies would do it, but there's not many truly anonymous proxies around that don't reveal the IP address of the actual browser.

Just curious.

I agree with carl,

In a perfect world mipulating the votes would be wrong! but i bet you there are a few green/anti-car/camera-loving barstewards that are clicking yes/yes/yes

And you couldnt call the way th gov present the stats on speed camers vs accidents manipulation could you!!

If any group of people are manipultors its them!

anyway its 91.22 % [voted twice]

Just spotted this.
Yep, you're right. If YOU were asked "do you speed", on an official govm't form - wouldn't you write "NO" ?? surely people are not going to answer correctly, for fear of retribution.
