So if, like me, you checked in at XKCD yesterday and thought you got the joke... check out this XKCD discussion forum topic (lots of duplication, but lots of c aptured images) or this Reddit thread (a quick rundown of the discovered factors) to see some of how deep it apparently went:

As geary and same3chords (via googledocs) mentioned, it's using the referrer (your "ideology"), and/or geographic location, browser, ISP, and OS to determine which comic you see. Many comics also change depending on the magnification of your browser (your "glasses prescription") or your browser's window size (your "browser window size"... okay that one was straightforward).

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
