   At least some of them appear to use a more general-purpose method than that. They actually load pages and execute scripts with document.referrer and the Referrer header faked-up. Though it's presumably more resource-intensive, it has t

   Spammers are already doing what they do. I have rudimentary measures in place, but additional data will enable a more sophisticated response. I use the service myself and find spam to be crazy-making. So... ;)

   Thank you! This was very helpful feedback. I added the async attribute to the script tag late in the game and didn't think about how it would interact with this. I've updated the agent script with a more robust method of finding t

    I can say first-hand that Morse code is not just a bandwidth-efficient means of communication, but also a fun and rewarding hobby. If you're interested in learning using modern and effective methods, I sell a course developed by an exp

    For anyone interested in semiconductor physics, Bob Widlar's "Introduction to Semiconductor Devices" is a delightful and accessible read.

    I've found http://tvfool.com to be very useful and precise. It appears to rely on physics rather than anecdotes, but you might find it worth a try.
