It's that time of the year where I'm feeling altruistic, so I just registered boxbytelyte.com for one year. Just let me know where you want it to point, and then I'll transfer the ownership to you in a year's time (or so

Oh yes, but those are through coaches[1] and they're still fairly common, especially for sleeper trains. The whole fun with slip coaches is that they'd be detached while the train was moving. [1] https://en.wikipedia.or

I'd say that English is easier to learn than most languages (precisely because of that ubiquity), but harder to master. The analogy to PHP holds: PHP is everywhere (a lot of websites run on it), learning material is easy to come by,

I'm not an expert, but yes, when you disable Wi-Fi, your device will stop scanning for networks and broadcasting your MAC address, so you can no longer be tracked that way. More recently, phones have also started randomising MAC addres

Very droll. That photo was taken in West Berlin and the car in question is a BMW 600[1], built between 1957 and 1959. (Oddly enough, I saw its little sister[2] not far from that spot a few days ago.) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org&

Not the original poster, but when you sign into a Wi-Fi network, the router needs to know where to send the packets, so it needs to have a way to identify your device. That's why all devices that can connect to a network have what&#x27

Sorry, you might want to re-read my comment. My solution will only disable the button or link that has been clicked on for half a second, which ought to be enough to both prevent accidental and allow intentional resubmissions.
