(thanks very much for your input everybody)
I mean there is timeout/session mechanism implemented with
JavaScript/ajax that stores the vote only after the page has been open
for some time after voting. (so to defeat this you would have to vote,
wait some time with the webpage open in your browser for the vote to
become actually counted, vote again, wait and so on)

I am sorry, I don't quite get this idea, could you give more details?
And one more question, maybe more on the psychological side - what
actually stops these kids from manipulating digg's content? I guess
opening 100 accounts shouldn't take too much and it should be enough to
get any link on top of the list?
