The thing about Panopticlick is that the two most "accurately" identifying methods aren't stable fingerprints. As soon as you install an update to one of your plugins (the constant Adobe updates come to mind), your fingerprint is altered. Similar with the font list; programs seem to be installing new fonts on my system all the time, which makes that fingerprint unstable as well.

And maybe adding some outside information, like when the new flash plugin is released; and tracking if a user is likely to upgrade or not. If you have a working solution for unstable characteristics, you can also add more more characteristics, than they do at the moment. My scree1050x3360x24
