I'm trying to make a vote/poll application in Flash using Actionscript 3. Is there any way to generate a specific ID that is unique to each user?

In my grails application, I would like to integrate a simple "Poll module" where people can vote (without authentication) with different options integrated into the homepage website.

Hey, I'm trying to figure out which next spare-time application I should develop for Windows. What do you think is missing on Windows of small beautifully designed apps? The reason I ask this way, is because I focus on graphically appealing Windows applications, and usually Mac apps has great interfaces in general. As an example, I w...
I have the following scenario: The website presents the user with a list of choices. The user can vote for them. The user has 3 votes that he can spend. He can place all 3 votes on one item, or he can distribute them among multiple items. He can also change his vote placements later (the choices aren't fixed and a new, better choice mig...
On my website we run a contest system and users vote for other user's content. We recently caught someone creating multiple accounts to vote multiple times (consecutive id numbers, and votes within a couple minutes). We would like to prevent that from happening again. Judging how Times handled their "Most Influential Person of the Centur...

I am looking to start pushing for more Agile processes to be brought into play in the work place and do my best to outlaw cowboy coding as much as possible. I understand many of the different models and am just looking to see which model has the higher uptake (or which parts of the model as well), and in what industry it is being used. ...
People often comment that a program can legitimately respond to undefined behavior by deciding to reformat your hard drive. However, in practice undefined behaviors in most languages do something rather unsurprising, for example: Fail (e.g. crash, throw an exception, or otherwise interrupt execution). Refuse to compile. Yeah, that ...
Dear stackies, what I need to do is auto-register device if not already done and then start polling messages with the credentials I received through this registration. Now, after I read quite a bit about services, threads, asynctasks and the AlarmManager I'm totally confused about how to handle this. :-s So, there are my two main task...
I was inspired by Gichin Funakoshi's Twenty Principles, and decided that we software developers ought to have some too, and I couldn't think of a better place to put this than Stack Overflow community wiki. It is not about hardware or software, it is about people Technologies and tools come and go, patterns and algorithms stay the same...

StackOverflow isn't really structured for an extended discussion where someone says "Try This" , so I post ba...

Looking for an uber-simple issue/bug tracking system, as simple as possible. It's just going to be for me to keep track of freelance web development projects. Everything I've found has way too much (milestones, ability to assign to different users, severity levels, calendars, wikis, etc.), and I can't seem to find anything stripped down....

Hi, I'm trying to implement a language (or family of languages) whose grammar can be changed dynamically. I have found no examples that serve as study cases. Can you give me some reference to any that are actually used in the real world (even from the academic world)? Does it make sense to implement a Domain-Specific Languages with a ...
Every so often I get asked for an explanation for some programming-related bit of jargon. Sometimes, if I know the person who's asking will get the joke, I make up the answer. For example, today the word "blitting" crept into an email thread and one of the S&M folk replied, Not too sure what "blitting" is; a technical term perhaps ...
