At least for me, they already do that. Many times I place multiple orders throughout the day and if the items are in the same warehouse, they end up getting shipped to me in a single box
The majority of the downloads would be for web pages which are pretty small. I would think that's the reason they do this as it would make the web browsing experience seem faster.
I've paid for the Prime service and I actually love it. When I added up my shipping costs for stuff Ihad ordered in year before getting Prime, it was more that the prime fee.
Now that I have it, I don't even bother to try and combine orders. I just order when I want. Last week, I bought 2 ink cartridges for my ink jet for about $6 each. I ordered one in the morning and the other in the evening.
What Prime does though (and obviously the reason Amazon offers the service) is that when I want to order anything online, I always check Amazon first and in 95% of the cases, I order it from them.
I know if you use CSS for layout, you could break it for Firefox.
E.g, I visited a web site this week where the layout was all screwed up in Firefox. divs were overlapping with others when they shouldn't be. When viewed in IE, it looked fine.
The same is true for the reverse. I was working on a website this weekend and got it working great in Firefox, but when viewed in IE, the layout was all screwed up. I had to then hack it to work in both IE and Firefox.
I actually get them quite a bit, but unlike you, I actually follow the links and fill in bogus information...usually supplemented with a lot of profanity.
I figure someone, somewhere, must read the info, and at the very least, they get an earful (or an eyeful)

I wouldn't want to be on the same road as someone who's driving via a VR headset

Hmm, actually I imagine people might do this for fun. I know I would.
Really? Do you go around tipping over motorcycles for fun?
Say you had separate a basketball event for people under 6 feet tall.
Some events already differentiate by weight, for example boxing and Taekwondo
I wouldn't think it's any different to the risks involves when they offer self-checkout counters
I would like to go on an add that both the free videos available with Amazon Prime and their normal paid videos are available on Roku.
The Amazon Prime videos are in their own section so you can easily see what is available for free.

I agree. I have about 500 DVDs that I have bought over the last several years and I have no plans to replace them.
Also, I have a home theater media room with a 10' wide screen and projector and DVD quality is fine for me.

Not being able to find people is a definite concern. There are 2 issues:
- Because someone has a degree doesn't mean I want to hire them.
- A lot of people are not flexible enough and aren't willing (or can't) to relocate to where the jobs are.

I wasn't implying the use of CSS was bad....just that it's one way to break a website for some browsers and not others.
I agree that the website should degrade gracefully if CSS is disabled.
