In the long run, it doesn't matter, as more and more people are getting
broadband, where they either have static IP addresses, or they have
dynamic addresses that very rarely change. Combine that with hard disk
space being dirt cheap, and pretty much everything that a site can do
with a cookie on your computer, they can do with a database on their
server.
