Recognize multiple story ratings from same user

In retrospect, the obvious solution to working around NAT firewalls is to use a cookie with a unique identifier embedded in it. The server can automatically generate it when contacted by a client that doesn't provide one, and return it with the page markup for the NewsFinder page. Thereafter, the browser will supply the cookie back to the server, so you can track the activity of an unknown user.

This also solves the problem of users moving around the Internet and connecting to Newsfinder with different DHCP-assigned IP addresses.
