If you're logged in, it'll use that, and it'll probably use your IP, but if you weren't logged in, and your IP wasn't one that you'd had before, then unless they're tracking via cookies, then I wouldn't expect them to be tracking you. It's actually possible to do a fairly good job of tracking you if you have javascript and/or flash enabled, because they can get at the list of fonts and whatnot on your computer, making you rather unique very quickly unless you have a _very_ standard setup (there was a paper about it not too long ago that got referenced on slashdot), but I wouldn't expect them to be going to all of that trouble. So, it sounds like it's fairly likely that dlange.org is starting to be the winning hit for searching the letter D, which is a good thing. - Jonathan M Davis
