Default Dell - A bunch of paranoid Americans?

I was in the process of checking out a new Dell Laptop, as my own laptop got broken...:ermm:

Upon browsing the site, I decided to see how much the finance deals etc were...

So I checked them out, and wanted to see what kind of personal information they wanted...

I nearly wet myself when I read, and I quote:

Quote:
* Q4. Will the product(s) be used in connection with weapons of mass destruction, i.e. nuclear applications, missile technology, or chemical or biological weapons purposes?
ROFL

As if anyone would answer yes...

[high]* Chris M thinks about it, and selects yes to see what happens[/high]

Dell is the only company in the business of producing weapons of mass des--er, I mean, very powerful computers.

Thus they don't want the competition.
