I was helping a farmer install a modem on his older hp computer. For some reason the modem wouldn't fit into PCI slot. The farmer, after inspecting the piece, decided to take it to his shop and grind down part of the board to get it to fit. It was so long ago that I don't remember if it worked, But it was really funny seeing someone take an angle grinder to a pci card.
If you are interested in verifying images I'd check out veripic. I don't know all the details behind it, but it seems like they are able to tell if the image has been modifed. From what I remember, the requirement is that you have to specify which digital camera it was taken with.

My guess on how they do it would be by checking how the image was encoded? any ideas?
