Yes this is the sort of thing I am thinking about. Some percentage of people have very distinct styles, however with Ted it might have been the content that gave it away.

Yes I am familiar with amiunique and all the variables of the browser.

I wonder if this way of identifying people is ever used when google or others get subpoenaed and hand over stuff. It would be more accurate than IP in determining the individual with correlations it seems, however I wonder if accepted by or holds up in court of law?
