Question about website statistics?
I want to gather website statistics based on individual computers. I know that it would be easy to gather how many times an ip address visits a website, but I am not sure how to gather how many times a specific computer visits my website. Also, I thought about using cookies, but some Web browsers do not allow cookies so I want to find another solution. Any help is greatly appreciated

3 AnswersLaptops & Notebooks8 years agoBeach Path math problem.?
Anyone who has walked on the beach knows that walking speed is dependent upon how far away from the ocean one walks. If you walk on the wet sand you can walk much more quickly than if you walked on the dry sand. I have a question that discusses this principal.
On a Cartesian xy plane limited by: Domain: {x | 0 <= x <= 1} Range: {y | 0 <= y <= 1} you start at the point (0,0) and you would like to travel on a defined path to (1,1) in the shortest amount of time. This sounds simple just take the path y = x because it is the shortest path so it will take the shortest amount of time, but there is a catch. Your forward speed {dS/dt} is equal to (1 - 0.75y). With this constraint in mind the path y = x would not be the fastest path. What is the fastest path. I am open to questions about the problem itself if I have not been clear. Thank you.
1 AnswerMathematics8 years ago100 black or white marbles in a bag.?
There are 100 black or white marbles in a bag. You pick out 100 marbles with replacement (so you pick out a marble then put it back in the bag then shake the bag then repeat until you have completed 100 repetitions. What is the probability that every marble in the bag is black given that each marble you pick out is black?
2 AnswersMathematics9 years agoWhy does the hour change when you travel east or west? Read more detail before answering...?
As one travels east or west the hours change. Why is it not that when one travels north or south the months change. In other terms why is this not true?: change in hour : passing lines of longitude as change in month : passing lines of latitude. The change in months makes sense because when it is summer in the north it is winter in the south. There probably is not a definitive answer, so just write a comment about the question. Like whether you agree or not and your opinion, or an answer that you found somewhere (if you find an answer somewhere cite your sources). Thanks.

2 AnswersPhysics9 years agoQuestion about the physics.?
Container A holds 100 gallons of water.
Hose B releases 10 gallons of water per hour into A.
Drain C leaks 10 gallons of water per hour when A holds 100 gallons of water and C leaks 0 gallons of water per hour when A is empty.
If A starts with 0 gallons of water when Hose B is turned on and Drain C is made, how long in hours will it take for Container A to hold at least 99 gallons of water?
If this problem is to hard to answer please answer with why.
Thank you.
2 AnswersPhysics9 years agoTranslate "We are young" into Spanish. ?
Ok, so in the song "we are young" by Fun they say "tonight we are young". Does it make a difference since they are young temporarily and they are not really young to use estar or ser. So my question is in this case would it be "estamos jóvenes" or "somos jóvenes". Thank you.

When your foot is off the gas pedal of your car the wheels are not moving. When you slightly apply pressure to the gas pedal what takes the power from the engine and transfers it to the wheels. Likewise, when you are going 50 miles per hour on the freeway and then you take your foot off th gas pedal what releases the engine power going to the wheels when you take your foot off of the gas pedal?

2 AnswersChemistry1 decade agoHow is it that we cannot measure irrational numbers.?
Some examples: The diagonal of a square with the sides equalling to one. A hexagon with the sides equalling to one. And the famous irrational number [pi] c/d. How could you not find an exact measure to a distance. It seems impossible(irrational) to me. If you sized up a circle to the size of the universe you still couldn't find the exact length of c and then divide it by d finding pi and making it rational? For the example of a square with the sides equaling one if you sized that up to the size of the universe you still couldn't find an exact diagonal length? My argument is that if you sized something up to size of the universe you would be able to find an exact (rational) distance.
4 AnswersMathematics1 decade agoQuestion about wormholes not that complex.?
Considering that wormholes bend the space & time fabric and if you go through it you may travel to a different of (space) and a different past of (time) possibly. Then Consider this:
a time = the time you go through a wormhole., a = b+5years
b time = the time you get to going through a wormhole. b = a- 5years
c time = the time right before b time. c = a - 5 years - 1day
Where you wormhole to is where you are presently during b time.
You are in c time and you are approaching b time when you hit b time wouldn't you be 5 years older when you reach b time.
think about it is sort of a loop and makes you think.
