True, but most people dont normally want to spend that kind of time trying to impersonate an otherwise anonymous poster. I've brute forced them before but only to generate a tripcode that starts "aw11" (i'm an MR2 fan) and have generated more complicated significant tripcodes in the past. It still takes a week or so to crack a full tripcode with luck and a good processor though. Even the posters on the craphole of the internet (4chan's/b/ forum) who seem to be able to get your home phone number from a selfpic within hours cant be arsed to crack each other's tripcodes.
If I had one to hand I would, Dont often get them at work - the only new PDAs I seem to be rolling out are bucketloads of crackberries at the moment. I've been using the nokia s60 symbians for a couple of years now, and am currently using mine for satnav (tomtom 5), email (profimail), ogg vorbis playing (oggplay), web (netfront), irc (virca), ssh (putty) and can play doom on the train with it, a real swiss army phone. I could never do that with my windows PPC (jornada 540), which i recently gave away to a coworker to get rid of it. The OS on it was clunky as anything and I did not appreciate having to start an application just to switch to or close a program. On the phone I just hold the menu key down to switch to or kill programs with the cancel button, much easier.
Futaba style imageboards (2chan, 4chan, iichan etc) can generate a hashcode to be posted with your displayed name known as a "tripcode". This code is based on a word or phraze you enter and is represented as italicised ascii text after your username following an exclamation mark. Only if you know the word or phraze it was based on can you reproduce that string. This can be brute forced but is still not easy to break due to the nature of the algorithm used to generate this string. The result is it provides a unique identifyer without requiring a login. A similar thing could be used on the blog, hell, the futallaby / wakaba / kareha software used by the aforementioned boards could be used by this blog and have support for this ready and waiting.
