 * evercookie 0.4 (10/13/2010) -- extremely persistent cookies
 *
 *  by samy kamkar : code@samy.pl : http://samy.pl
 *
 * this api attempts to produce several types of persistent data
 * to essentially make a cookie virtually irrevocable from a system
 *
 * specifically it uses:
 *  - standard http cookies
 *  - flash cookies (local shared objects)
 *  - silverlight isolated storage
 *  - png generation w/forced cache and html5 canvas pixel reading
 *  - http etags
 *  - http cache
 *  - window.name
 *  - IE userData
 *  - html5 session cookies
 *  - html5 local storage
 *  - html5 global storage
 *  - html5 database storage via sqlite
 *  - css history scanning
 *
 *  if any cookie is found, it's then reset to all the other locations
 *  for example, if someone deletes all but one type of cookie, once
 *  that cookie is re-discovered, all of the other cookie types get reset
 *
 *  !!! SOME OF THESE ARE CROSS-DOMAIN COOKIES, THIS MEANS
 *  OTHER SITES WILL BE ABLE TO READ SOME OF THESE COOKIES !!!
 *
 * USAGE:

  var ec = new evercookie();

  // set a cookie "id" to "12345"
  // usage: ec.set(key, value)
  ec.set("id", "12345");

  // retrieve a cookie called "id" (simply)
  ec.get("id", function(value) { alert("Cookie value is " + value) });

  // or use a more advanced callback function for getting our cookie
  // the cookie value is the first param
  // an object containing the different storage methods
  // and returned cookie values is the second parameter
  function getCookie(best_candidate, all_candidates)
  {
    alert("The retrieved cookie is: " + best_candidate + "\n" +
      "You can see what each storage mechanism returned " +
      "by looping through the all_candidates object.");

    for (var item in all_candidates)
      document.write("Storage mechanism " + item +
        " returned " + all_candidates[item] + " votes<br>");
    }
    ec.get("id", getCookie);

  // we look for "candidates" based off the number of "cookies" that
  // come back matching since it's possible for mismatching cookies.
  // the best candidate is very-very-likely the correct one
