Its possible that a program on your computer is not letting you have any cookies. We had a computer at work that was like this, and the program was stubborn and refused to compleatly uninstall, so we had to do a system restore.

What browser are you using?
I'd recommend purging all of your cached files, then trying again. I had that issue a while back, I didn't do anything in particular, and it just kinda fixed itself.

Do you have your penis in the floppy drive? I did that once and nothing was working right.

Try turning off the "Suck ass" filter if you have IE. I did and now not only can I go to bestbuy.com but I can go to fatwallet.com and buyritegames.com too.

Maybe it's because Best Buy sucks and is evil. Don't shop there.

Your firewall could be messing with your settings. I know off the top of my head ZoneAlarm tends to do that.
Check the settings of your firewall and make sure it isn't blocking any "potentially dangerous" cookies.

For a second I thought that link you gave was for some special browser (first glance, of course).
Thank god I'm not a COMPLETE idiot. ;)
Oh that reminds me: check for spyware. Even though I've never heard a case that spyware screws cookies over (there's probably some strange case out there), it's still a good idea to keep your PC up-to-date and free of baddies.

From another episode:
Bart: I know a web site that shows monkeys doing it.
Lisa: Bart, the internet is more than a global pornography network, it's-
Homer: Come on, Lisa! Monkeys!
