It is starting to get ridiculous. I mean in the 21 century we start to build COCOM list again, this time against individuals. And it is really troubling, that Farnell does that.
Not so long ago I've tried to order a MOSFET driver from digi-key. There was like 5000 on stock. Logged in on the local site, there was 0. How come? They dont export it to EU (to a f* NATO country) because military applications. I ended up using the same driver, but it had TTL inputs instead CMOS or vice-versa. That was not military stuff.
