Here's the summary: TVs, computers, cameras, camcorders, iPods, MP3 players and cell phones now have a 90 day return period. TVs and computers have a free 2 year extended warranty by Costco. Items bought before the policy went into effect Monday, Feb 26 are not affected by this change and can be returned according to the old policy.

When people discover a problem with their credit score, they often act rashly, doing things that seem as though they would improve your credit, but actually damage a credit score. Before we get into the ten mistakes to avoid, let’s first look at what makes up one’s credit score, as defined by Fair Isaac:
Although the exact formulas for calculating credit scores are closely guarded secrets, Fair Isaac has disclosed the following components and the approximate weighted contribution of each:
35%,- punctuality of payment in the past (only includes payments later than 30 days past due)
30% – the amount of debt, expressed as the ratio of current revolving debt (credit card balances, etc.) to total

Linux
Updated: June 24th, 2020
The purpose of this article is to:
- introduce the new Linux section of the site (specifically dedicated to openSUSE).
- provide a very short description of Linux and compare it to other operating systems.
- answer some installation questions.
I'm a Windows user, I admit it. Not because I enjoy frequent reboots, freezes, and other unexplainable quirks. It's mostly because I have so many programs I'm used to, it would be impossible to switch to anything else, and I know ins and outs that allow me to be very comfortable with the Windows. I'm talking 20-30 programs I'm not willing to give up any time soon.
However, I also have deep respect for *nix based systems. I started using them back in …
