Dell’s take on it?
That’s the point of the thread?
With the title ‘BUSTED: “Is DELL Computer Aiding N. Korea [Weapons Program] In Violation of US Federal Law?”’
Dell’s policy is obviously not to sell computers to countries on the US export restrictions list or to people who will export their computers to those countries.
Obtuse is suggesting they sold them to NK directly or that an “investigation” is warranted while knowing full well that Dell has sold billions of computers world wide. If there were 20 super computers in the world and one found its way to NK, one can identify the other super computers and therefore identify the one that made its way to NK and then see who they sold it to. That is impossible when billions of them have been sold. To suggest otherwise is just plain ignorant. So are you going to send a human spy into NK to identify a $600 commodity computer’s serial number in the picture so you can see who it was originally sold to? A total waste of a resources. And then after you do it, what have you got? Zip. It isn’t illegal to sell a Dell computer on eBay or any number of other third party brokers.
What if it was a Chinese branded computer instead of a Dell with an Intel processor in it? Are going to demand that Intel explain themselves. Claim that Intel is “Aiding N. Korea’s Weapon Program”? Brain dead.
Obtuse is this whole thread. Totally devoid of basic reality.

No, nor did I suggest same.

No, nor did I suggest it.
I asked if you had a beef with the title. You did. So do I. So does AIT, after thinking about it some.
Have a nice day ;-)
