I know this is from last Friday, but I simply found it too entertaining not to post. Next time you're thinking about buying a Dell, make sure you've got a good story made up to tell them about how you'll be using your new Dell... you know.. just to keep 'em on their toes. Tell 'em you're building "the doomsday device" with Dr. Colossus or somethin'... heh.

"As part of the export compliance process on Dell's U.S. and U.K. Web sites, it asks the buyer some questions: Who will be the product's end user? What is the intended use? And it asks whether the products will be exported (and if so, to what countries), and whether the products will "be used in connection with weapons of mass destruction, i.e. nuclear applications, missile technology, or chemical or biological weapons purposes."
