You can get a Dell-branded version of ObjectDock for free: Dell Dock[^] If you're not using a Dell, don't bother downloading it, because it won't install on anything but a Dell.

That settings get automatically populated via some means. But that is the easiest way to check.

Average users don't know how to hack through that information. Also if you change that setting I think it will revert back. I will do some more research and probably post an article: "How to find if you are running on a Dell Machine".:)

you can de-Dellify a Dell
No way. Everything about a Dell is non-standard. Even the mainboards have non-standard dimensions which means you can't re-use a Dell case and put in a proper mainboard. So, there is always some crap left so it can be identified as a Dell. Have a look at Lavalys Everest and you get the idea as to the extent of hardware information one can obtain: http://www.lavalys.com[^]

Are the ones you know salaried drivers? Between the rise in fuel prices over the last half dozen years and creative accounting by the broker companies*, and the recession, most owner/operators are struggling to break even at best. * Customers hiring a truck pay two 'separate' fees. One is intended to cover truck maintenance/depreciation/pay/operating expenses (excluding fuel). The second is a fuel surcharge that [hand waving goes here] is intended to cover the amount of diesel needed to make the trip. The problem is that the broker companies skim off a percentage of both fees, which means that real income goes down as fuel prices go up. Ex $1000 + $1000 fuel surcharge, operating costs $600, fee 10%. The driver gets $(1000 + 1000)*.9 - $600 - $1000 = $200 pay for the trip. Fuel prices double, for the same trip: The driver gets $(1000 + 2000)*.9 - $600 - $2000 = $100 for the same trip, a 50% pay cut.
