What's all this &sid=cf6db615e07c4f6067bd76f6deee6c57 cr

Most of the time when I select a forum to open, in the address window I see something like:

http://www.illuminati-r-us.com/Forums/v ... m.php?f=18

But now and then it looks more like this:

http://www.illuminati-r-us.com/Forums/v ... f6deee6c57

So what IS all this &sid=cf6db615e07c4f6067bd76f6deee6c57 crap then anyway?

It's a Session ID. Among other things, it validates that you are allowed to go where you're trying to go.

Looks like it's just a PHP session ID; a 128-bit unique identifier that the board would use to keep track of your session as you roam around the board doing various things. Usually it'd be hidden in a cookie or some such; I'm not sure why it would sporadically appear as a URL parameter, but maybe Lance or someone could clarify that.

Whatever the reason, there's no need to worry. It's absolutely impossible that this is actually encrypted data from a Secret Identity Device that the federal government implanted in your hand without your knowledge or consent. And it's even less possible that, whenever your hand gets close enough to a secret RFID reader in your computer, that device connects to the internet and transmits information about your consumer, political, and sexual preferences back to a secret government database hidden in the mountains of West Virginia, where it's analyzed by a quantum supercomputer in order to analyze everything you've said and done in the recent past, and extrapolate everything you'll say or do in the near future.

Yes, that's right. It's none of that.

Thanks, pmcolt. I was just about to ask.

Sure wouldn't want to go through THAT again.

Hah!

Every time they read the RFID in my hand, it always winds up linking them to a porn site anyway. Not sure why.
