etats | 5 years ago | on: Amazon Warehouse scam: 16TB HDD swapped for 8TB, returned for full refund

But do you do with that serial number mismatch and 'missing secret marks' evidence? A seller could easily fudge that "proof" and eBay/Amazon aren't big on taking sellers at their word. There's no fool-proof way to collect evidence of return fraud and there isn't much you can do once you have that evidence.

I listen to cool jazz. It puts me in a state of bliss and I can power through any task in a timeless sort of way.

Drones are a relatively new technology. I'm sure some agencies are presently interpreting old laws very loosely. It's certainly worthwhile to spell out exactly what can and can't be done.

In 2007 we were heading right into the ground, but I think we're going nowhere but up right now.
