I suppose a solution is to have the reader use a normalizing algorithm of some sort so that every correct fingerprint from a particular user resolves to the same "password".
I knew about tv.com, but I thought they just changed the URL. I don't like the new design.. it's harder to navigate. I usually use it for the episode guides, like if I start watching halfway through an episode that I haven't seen, I can find what it's about.

"Your account appears as delinquent on our client's files," it warned. "This professional collection agency continues collection activity on your debtor account."
The letter added, ominously: "Respond to this letter or continued collection efforts may follow."

Me neither.
Yes, but the person in the article was fired for talking about something non-work-related because they didn't like his opinion.
I.R. Baboon beat you to it.
Inflation has occurred, but that doesn't necessarily mean that wages have risen to meet it.
