"triple-dub" for Americans, "treble-dub" for Brits, "trip-dubs" if you still watch hold-em poker. Problem solved.

Remote site has lovely internet connection, so personal devices were blocked from wifi. Users can request their device to be whitelisted and instructions were sent to users on how to find their MAC addresses.user posted:I would not like to be paranoiac but it is a weird request. I assume the MAC address will be used to filter who can connect and who can't to our wifi.

I get questions from friends and family members that aren't too far removed from this level of paranoia. Sometimes, when people who don't know how stuff works see the capabilities of the technology it scares the poo poo out of them. Then they turn on the news (or "news", if the person is of a certain age/politics), and see a story that reinforces that. Then they turn on a TV show that tries to do tech (ala NCIS and their absolutely insanely ridiculous "four hands on the keyboard" segment), and it scares even more poo poo out of them. Couple this fear and low level of understanding with people who are generally pretty smart elsewhere and you have a pretty bizarre combination of factors that turns into insanity like that.

Please go to double u double u double u It got to the point that at least one company here was advertising with their url at the end of the radio message, omitting the first period. Some pranksters then registered wwwcompany.com and put up a giant notice on it saying you were at the wrong page and that [company] was stupid.

Sorry, why is anyone saying "www" in any fashion? If I say "Go to the website google.com", you can just enter "google.com" and nearly 100% of the time, the "www" is unnecessary.

If it makes anyone feel any better, the main newswires in North America (Associated Press and Canadian Press) did away with the "www" ages ago. Big/good marketing companies did so even earlier since it means more time talking about the product. Sometimes stuff pitched to older people will include the W's because that audience is largely ignorant of how the internet works and so they'll not believe it will work without them. But they will go away eventually, just as the "http://" did. But back in the mid 90's, you could even find printed addresses that had ":80" at the end, so give it time.

E.g instead of https://www.yourbank.com.dodgymalwaredomain.ru users would see ru.dodgymalwaredomain.com.yourbank.www then maybe a couple less people would give out their credentials.
