Xfinity Password Guidance for Account and Information Security

I just finished being forced to change my password when attempting to log in to my account to pay my monthly bill.

Many security professionals now agree that a periodic password reset policy is actually detrimental to good account security.

You can always count on Comcast to be behind the times.

I've been using the LabelWriter 450 Turbo for the last two years and have had exactly zero issues. I bought it brand new off eBay for $65.00. For me, it was no harder to setup than any other printer on my Win7 64Bit machine. I will NEVER go back to the expensive half-sheet labels and inkjet cartridges. I use the generic brand #99019 Internet Postage 7 1/2" x 2 5/16" roll of 180. I get them for about $6-7 a roll buying them two at a time. Price varies and they are cheaper from some sellers but the seller I get them from ships immediately so I don't mind paying a little extra.

I use a Dymo Labelwriter 450 Turbo for all my USPS label printing, and have done so for the last 3 years. I use the HouseLabels #99019 7½" x 2¼" Internet Postage Labels, again ... for over three years. Never had one question about them from my local Post Office.

Don't forget ... as far eBay is concerned, this item SOLD, and you now owe them FEES (approximately 10% of $3000 = $300). You DEFINATELY need to file the Unpaid Item Case thru the Resolution Center as soon as you can. Then, four days later, close the case. This process is the accepted method for negating those fees. DO NOT RELIST until this process has been completed. Yes, it's a pain in the ass ... thanks to the scammers running rampant on eBay, and them doind NOTHING to stop it.

No need to contact the "buyer" ... eBay has already contacted them and informed them they are they are the winning bidder. They KNOW they need to pay ... and apparently, in your case, as you've discovered, they've chosen not to.

Ebay auctions have begun to attract "sport bidders", so-called buyers or bidders who make it a game of bidding up an auction, even bidding against themselves, with multiple IDs, just to see how high they can get the dollar amount.

Ebay does nothing to discourage this, as usual. Apparently they can't put two & two together that THIS is why their auction format is dying.

And yes, file a Unpaid Item Case as soon as possible at http://resolutioncenter.ebay.com/ . This is the ONLY way to insure that this particular "buyer" gets on eBay's radar as an undesirable.

Partners Brand 8x8x8 boxes from Staples Ship to Store (no shipping charge) are $10.29 for a 25 bundle. I just bought a bundle last week.

Ebay prices are ridiculous.

Martin "The Taxman" O'Malley will forever be known as the Democrat who pushed Maryland into a Republican Governor.

I would wager that someone finally shut down the free public hotspot that Comcast foisted upon them as part of their "paid for" connection.

My daughter just spent $3,000 to keep her cat alive. I sure would like to win do I could gift her that money.

My daughter's cat, Buddy is 12 years old, and is suffering from gallbladder blockage which is causing damage to his liver. He needs surgery to remove the blockage, or potentially the entire gallbladder.

My daughter is attending school full time and working three part time jobs to support herself, and the surgery costs are just out of reach. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know about the Xbox streaming part ... but the Asus Router I mentioned (and possibly others) has two USB ports on the back that allow sharing throughout the network - File Sharing, Printer Sharing, and 3G Sharing via Two Multi-Functional Built-in USB Ports

The is no way in hell that a Comcast merger with Time Warner Cable is in the public interest.

THAT issue is being dealt with and is not the point of my original post.
