    I doubt it, but whenever they figure out that's happening, they'll find the person in common among all the serial numbers involved. It's traceable even if it's not discovered right away.

    In your original post. Your scenario didn't seem to have anything to do with problem solving or a lack of knowledge. But if your search terms are bringing up stores for troubleshooting you're searching wrong.

    Freeloading? Even if you're a Prime member and they advertise "Free Returns" in bold print?

    I would have modded the first one insightful. But there was one line that didn't make a lot of sense and I was prodding at that one. I have no idea what that has to do with problem solving, as you didn't mention any sort of problem-solving scenario.

    Changing "Verified Purchase" to "Item Returned" would be fair. But if the star rating is 3 or higher, it should be deleted anyway. Let them leave a high review when they get a replacement.

    Deleting all negative reviews on a return just leaves positive reviews behind and skews it heavily.

    They also didn't expect people to go and buy 50 items and return all but one. But the fault lies with them for not being clear about what they want to offer. And they have plenty of profit to just own up and announce a policy change rather than blame their customers.

    No, you can't speak clearly so nobody knows what you're saying.

    So I'm supposed to do what. Go to BestBuy.com, and do my product search there? With their broken search?
    Or browse by product category?

    You completely missed the point. I don't know which stores carry X product - I search the product and narrow from there. You still haven't answered what site you're expecting to find in such a search.

    Think about this one. Ever search for a television, or other big appliance? Did you need google to suggest best buy, walmart, and a dozen other huge outlets that you know about?

    Yes, I did. Or at least, yes it's fine. If all I want are the specs and they post them, that works for me. Many of those sites also have customer reviews. They are relevant results for that reason. What are you hoping to find in your search results when you search a TV or appliance model?

    Just be glad nobody is making Windows "app" replacements for web sites. So many online services are app-only, though, that it's infuriating.

    Same. When Netflix bumped up their pricing last, I dropped down to one also. If I had the capital, I'd just start competing with Netflix DVD myself. I could just go to Dollar General and buy all their old inventory for 50 cents a disc - they've been dumping it anywhere and everywhere.

    Great. So JB Pritzker, who is trying to win the governorship in IL, heavily funded the Clinton campaign. I just want one decent candidate for governor in Illinois. Just one. Current one is terrible, last one terrible, last several before that are in jail. Doesn't matter what party - just corrupt and troublemaking as can be.

    Politics on either side is such a money game that it isn't even funny.

    You would hope that the xfinity hotspots are on a separate isolated network anyway, so that doesn't necessarily negate the bridge. The modem would probably be getting two additional private IPs from the uplink to do the other business on.

    I have more "very long wait" than even "long wait." Quite a few movies missing entirely now (out of a queue of around 200 discs). And the only way to see the movie is to pay full retail for a DVD - studios have made these movies available nowhere else. If you only want to watch the same thing that everyone else is watching, streaming is fine. If you want a choice, you quickly notice how limited you are.
