Does your P-4 need a weapons license?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #788 of 1439 |
Hi!

Its for US but still concerned to us. Does your P-4 need a weapons
license?

-----------------------8<-----------------------
In a move that has re-energized the debate over export controls on
high-performance computers, the latest version of a defense-spending
bill would require companies to seek licenses to export even
underpowered desktop computers.

******

Today, computer sellers are required to get a license to export any
computer with performance equal to or greater than a system with 32
Intel Itanium processors. The current version of the defense
authorization act would lower that limit to systems deemed "militarily
critical" by the Department of Defense. That level is currently set to
the equivalent of a computer using a Pentium 3 processor running at
650MHz, state of the art in 1999 but considered feeble today.

US Military has even set standards for encryption. An encryption below
a certain bit depth i.e. the one which cannot be deciphered by US
Military is considered as offense.

After all these...Do we need our own fabrication lines now?
