I got 15 points just a couple of days ago, and I've almost finished using them.
It's a good thing that I didn't need to log on to Beta, because Beta won't even let me log on. I click the "Sign on" button and that whole black left side of the window closes up again.
What do you call that thingie that's square shaped and consists of four horizontal lines, anyway?
dave, your observation holds if the user changes the UserAgent just once.
But thms's idea (leaving aside the whole idea of destructive data) has great merit if you change the UserAgent string differently every day, or every hour. That anonymizes you periodically.
I still don't get the huge deal with the telecom immunity. Yes the telecoms should be punished, at least as a preventative measure so that in the future companies think twice before following illegal government orders. And yet, the truly guilty party are the government officials who made those orders.
That's the whole point of this exercise. While going after the telecoms, the legal discovery process reveals dirt on the government. That's the real reason the current administration needs the telecoms to have immunity.

You ever heard of the 'apropos' command?
Exactly. Try this:

You're kidding, right?
