That is easy, they just sell to retailers. Retailers have licenses to sell cars, so there is no problem. However, if you make custom parts, that scenario does not apply.
I wonder if they would ship certain centrifuges made from aluminum to countris like Iran or North Corea.
On a more seriouse note so, how do they make sure that their services are not used for unlawfull purposes?
used uncertified hardware and software Lets hope Microsoft doesn't use this as a cue to move thier OS onto those machines. Hell, next thing we know, we'll be able to vote on our X-boxes!
I don't see the point why we need to convince Slashdot to use Linux. I would see a reason for such a newsstorry on CNN or, even better, MSNBC. Wait, why am I thinking this won't happen? Oh, maybe b/c AOL's software doesn't run on Linux? Or is it b/c MS owns MSNBC?
As long as the newsmedia and telecomunication industry is owned by the players that have a stake in sticking to Windows, we will not see Linux in mainstream in the US.
I wonder how long it will be before the first worms show up probagating via bluetooth interfaces, turning cellphones into bots sending out mass SMS spam...oh, wait a minute...Why only cell phones, why not as well printers or any other bluetooth device?

Yeah, that's an easy one!
Some professors mark certain sections to be only available from on-campus providers, and since Tech also hosts all other ISPs in the area, it is easy for page admins to only allow Blacksburg accesses.

Why don't you switch to Macs? Arguably the best of both worlds, especially if you deal with graphics.
