Dell asks PC buyers nuclear questions

The_Neon_Cowboy · Feb 22, 2004, 06:26 PM

Dell is taking extra measures on its Web site to ensure that its customers are not developing weapons of mass destruction. The computer maker has hit upon a direct way of ensuring customers are not planning to use hardware bought from its e-commerce sites for nefarious purposes: it simply asks them.

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."
