    I've seen plenty of legaleze that made my hair stand on end, but the Intel contest has this: Intel reserves the right to require, at any time, written proof of permission to enter including a power of attorney Can someone tell me (or hint at) WTH this actually is?

        Seems simple enough. Basically, Intel are stating that they can ask you at any stage to be able to prove that you are eligible for entry in the competition.

              That bit makes less sense. Here in the UK, we'd normally state something about requiring proof from a Notary Public.

                    Tell the truth, Sir Pete. It means that if Pete doesn't win, you are hitting abyss my friend. Pete is like NSA guy of Intel.
