Is It Wrong...
« on: Tue, 10 December 2013, 17:09:18 »
To destroy a brand new, couple thousand dollar, yet to be released HDD to make an arts and crafts gift for my girlfriend for Christmas?

Also, ask your own moral dilemma questions for people to answer.

That is very wrong, just buy a broken one of ebay for 5 $
unless they have some unforeseeable downside (like they're actually made of cream cheese cunningly disguised as ABS)

Is it wrong to keep stuff if amazon is stupid and sends you the same order twice after a 5 day shipping delay?

I have others that are broken, it has to do with the name of this drive though...  The gift kinda doesn't work without it specifically.

Should I lie about what is called? Could I find away to not do it and not lie?

I think the real question is here is any woman really likely to appreciate the kind of gift that involves a smashed up hard drive?

Do a label swap.

You get a fancy harddrive, and you get a use for a broken one!

The label doesn't say anything in the first place. I have to black or all the numbers too.
