Testimonial - Well it seems that most of you "discordians" are little more than dupes of the Cathedral/NWO memetic apparatus after all -- "freethinkers" in the sense that you are willing to think slightly outside the designated boxes of correct thought, but not free in the sense that you reject the existence of the boxes and seek their destruction.

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.
