TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Being unique doesn't matter. Being consistent does. Someday I'll get around to making a firefox addon to randomly swap through a list of different user agents & vary HTTP_ACCEPT headers & such with each visit to a given site. Sure, they will still be unique (probably more so) but instead of being one unique person you appear to be 20 or 100 or such.

Ah then you'll be the one guy that visits with 20 different browsers from one IP ;-)


Anyway, about this thing, the concept is pretty sweet, but I'm pretty sure that the software/algorithm behind the particular implementation of the EFF is flawed, as it gives inconsistent results.

Just switching the user-agent isn't enough, and doing it manually is too annoying. It should be automatically changing, and faking the fonts installed/other info.
