How else would they ID a browser?  The site I have personally had problems with
(I've posted about it here a few times already) apparently identifies the
browser with some really slick trick, since it goes out as hidden data in the
POST for the login.

I'm just interested to know how they do it and how I might be able to fake them
out.
