This is not a bug in uniq.
It detects identical lines only if they're adjacent.
One way to remove all duplicates is to sort first:
sort myfile |uniq
Or use sort's -u option:
sort -u myfile

...
| $ cat myfile | uniq -c
| 1 SYNCHARDWARE (0)
| 1 SYNCHARDWARE (1)
| 1 SYNCHARDWARE (0)
| 1 SYNCHARDWARE (1)
...
