Your browser can supply quite a bit of information to the sites you visit. There was a page at Gibson Research that showed some of the info that a site could grab and what can be done with cookies but I couldn't locate it again. It did, however, have a link to Browser Spy which shows all the stuff that can be done. Give it a visit. You might be surprised at what you find.
The thing about these sigs that I found more interesting was that the browser info was imbedded in a .jpg image. I went to the site to try to find out how it was done but they didn't explain it. My guess is that they have used an .htaccess file to do something akin to a custom error page which runs a script to run an editor for the pic and send back the .jpg. The author does say it was written on a whim so there probably isn't a lot to it.
