I saw that b4! I think it's because the computer is too slow or the computer doesn't reconise that flag. I am pretty sure this is wrong but just piching ideas here.
Or, if you don't want to read that, it basically is a number assigned to your machine (or router, I think) which tells people where you are. It might change slightly each time.
So, that is how websites like goingtorain.com know where you are.
With the logic that each person (online) has one computer (or one machine that connects to the internet) sites like yerhotel have a thing which says one (anonymous) person can visit only once a day, but when people share a computer it isn't like that.
