It's up there with the card they give you when you cross the US border. It asks you something along the lines of whether you were involved in genocide between 1939 and 1945 and whether you've ever been a member of the Nazi party. Only for the fact that I've discovered first hand how humourless US border officials are I'd almost be tempted to say yes...

2
Your weapon has caused a critical error and must be restarted!!

They won't sell to you. ever. And they'll report you to the US Government. And they'll get the CIA on your case.

Ok, maybe not, but it means that your online order will be rejected and you'll have to convince a member of the export compliance team that you were joking before they'll sell it to you. Its a legal requirement for them because they're registered in the US.

tinkerbell · 01-01-2004 01:16PM

heheheh, answerin yes would be hilarious though

Serve those silly people at dell right, they have useless computers anyway! (Yes I have a dell too, and it gives me sooo much heartache, every few days or so I jus feel like throwin it under the wheel of an artic!)

Crimson · 01-01-2004 05:10PM

DMT · 01-01-2004 05:31PM

It's just another example of american law becoming painfully anal.

Ruaidhri · 01-01-2004 06:33PM

the real question is would you buy a dell to do *any* serious work

The Beer Baron · 01-01-2004 07:08PM

Luckily I bought my Dell b4 9/11 so I don't have to feel guilty about lying to Michael Dell as I love his company so much having worked for the bastards for all of 5 weeks.

/me strokes his white cat and starts the countdown from deep within his underground volcano base...

Wun minnit anhd kountink...

Crimson · 01-01-2004 09:37PM

flogen · 01-01-2004 10:39PM

Flogen

Capt'n Midnight · 01-01-2004 10:52PM

No you only get WMD (small dictator edition) which only has 64 bit encryption.

Hahaha, class!

Hrmmm, what if you were a bit half-pished from the flight over and thought it would be immensely funny to answer "terrorist related business", I wonder what would happen to ya ....

bizmark · 01-01-2004 11:40PM

the yanks would call in a airstrike on you but hit spanish and german people instead...:rolleyes:

<for first time tyrants. Ideal for wiping out small groups of ethnic minorities or can even be used as a show of force to enemies, with tutorials to show you how to create the perfect biological disaster first time, all the time>

WHat happens if you say you are using it for weapons of mass destruction?

ps: you're all racist

flogen · 02-01-2004 03:15AM

bizmark · 02-01-2004 03:19AM

Every breath I take? Every move I make?? they'll be watching me??

flogen · 02-01-2004 03:21AM

if you get one you could ask him/her to sing that to you while you sleep.

a bit off topic, but does anyone else think that that song is a stalkers anthem, just like Enrique Inglasias' Cry (I dont know why, but i love to see you cry) is a wife-beaters anthem?

Flogen

Faust · 02-01-2004 03:24AM

hhehe i think DMT said "painfully anal" i think thats some kind of freudian slip

Anyway it's just standard procedure with most american products nowadays, They do it with all technology that can be used to build a wmd

bizmark · 02-01-2004 03:34AM

so you have to sign a "i will not use this to create a wmd" thing when you buy a pen or some a4 paper after all some times a mad nutter just needs to write down what he is thinking

Smithers · 02-01-2004 03:37AM

i worked for IBM and we had something called the Denied parties list,

list of people and countries u couildnt sell pc's to,

think it comes from the cia originally,

Yuri Geller is on the list believe it or not, cia hired him for his abilities but he jerked them around so they stuck him on the list to piss him off,

also someone in IBM in the states sold an as400 a few years back which ended up in Iran i think it was and was used for nuclear testing, and IBM got onto huge sh1t for it , fines ect,

just my 2c!
