How to NOT Get Your Dynamic IP

Something funny I just saw and had to share:
A long while ago, I had a post about getting a static IP (read Get Yourself a Static IP). Apparently, one creative commenter on Gizmodo found a lazier way to get his IP:

I use DropBox [www.getdropbox.com] and set up a little script that calls whatismyip.org and writes the result to a text file. This is done once an hour. DropBox syncs to my work machine with that text file. That way a static ip isn't needed.

It's ghetto, but it works. :)

Now, I use DropBox myself and highly recommend it (although Microsoft's Mesh surpasses it in OS integration, it does install quite a lot, and requires certain service packs on Windows and Leopard on the Mac). So I thought I may give this method a try. I went to whatsmyip.org, and underneath my IP, I found the following:

PLEASE do not use automated software or scripts to load this site
This site is for Humans, smart Primates & Dolphins only (oh and aliens)

Fair enough, I thought, but still went ahead and selected "view source" to see if the IP is parse-able. And then I found this comment:

Seriously. Please don't program a bot to use
this site to get a user's IPs. It kills my server
and thats not nice.
Just get some cheap or free web hosting and
make your own IP only page to power your bot.
Then you won't even have to parse any html,
just load the IP directly - better for everyone!!

Gotcha man. You're absolutely right. There are better ways to get my dynamic IP, than mooching off of your bandwidth. I guess that Gizmodo commenter just ignored this big, green comment.
