Then they can send you hate mail.
Or, they're fudged.
But I don't think any two computers can have the same IP address at any one time, can they? Wait...can they?

No, not at the same time. Unless they're in the same house. I know this. Or possibly in a duplex (SP?) or an Apartment. But that's it, and very unlikely.

What if someone in florida was on dial up and they got on the internet, then at the same time, someone with a static IP was in Houston and turned on their computer, and the random IP from the dude in Florida was the same as the guy in Houston? HHMMMMM?

IP's aren't really random. If you run on dial-up, you go through an assortment of pre-set addresses.
Example:
If you disconnect and reconnect, you will end up with one of these
1.2.77.01 1.2.77.05 1.2.77.12 1.2.78.02
Something like that..
I'm pretty sure it's impossible to have the same IP as someone else unless you have 2 or more computers networked, kind of like CD said.
You can have the same IP as someone else though, like people who have the same dial-up internet provider and live in the same general area. You might get one of their IP's aswell as them getting one of yours. Example: You can be banned from a site and be like " wtf . . . I've never been here before?!". That would mean that IP was banned before, meaning someone else had the same IP you were using when you entered the site.

That wasn't really a debate, but an informational post.
Uhm .. I think we need a good debate topic, one where we won't end up agreeing and one that lasts longer than 2 pages.

Yeah, this debate topic sounded good, but we really are ending up agreeing.
I dont think people can end up with the same IP, they would have to be networked, but still...we've kind of talked everyone else into what we all think, and its kind of pointless now IMO.
