Not any more. There are companies that collect sign-up information that 
can be matched to IP addresses. For example, if you buy something from 
Amazon, they have your shipping address and your IP address. I know of 
companies that will sell you the service of looking up the zipcode 
associated with a given IP address, which I understand they get by 
collecting such pairs and doing the appropriate analysis on them.

Pretty funky idea. :)

     It's not feature creep if you put it
     at the end and adjust the release date.
