Their software is their revenue stream. Dell's is hardware. The two are VERY different and to believe they are the same, as much as you'd like to, is incorrect.
The point I was making is not that Dell sells software, or even that Dell re-writes Windows...
It's that Dell ships what looks like a customised version of Windows to the end-user (which is really just Microsoft Windows + custom drivers + branded screensaver/logos + custom software). To the end user, Dell makes "Dell's version of Windows".
The point was to assert the Redhat : Linux:: Dell : Microsoft comparison...
To be honest, I totally agree that Dell-branded Windows installations do not constitute "distros"...
However, things like CentOS, which is a re-compilation of upstream Redhat sources with changed logos, and Knoppix, which is a custom-install of debian, with changed logos and a different configuration-script, get counted as "distros"...
In the context of the parent discussion, though, the point was that people think Dell and Microsoft are the same thing is because Dell ships Dell-branded Windows installations, just the same as people think Redhat and Linux are the same think because Redhat ships Redhat-branded Linux installations.
Does Dell maintain a customized Windows distribution...
Isn't that what they ship me on the CD which comes with my shiny new Dell machine?
They change the theme, and the screensaver, and the backdrop... and maybe include some custom apps... oh, and they choose some drivers to include. And they package it all with their custom installer... And then they change all the support links to point to Dell.com instead of Microsoft.com... Sounds like a custom distro to me...
I'm speaking as/for a commercial developer which already has a working port on Linux of a very large and powerful app but can't release because of the license mess the linux GUI/OS is in.
And really, if you're developing closed-source software and want the KDE look-and-feel, you can always purchase a Qt developer licence instead of opensourcing your code.
There is no one-true-widget-set which forces you to open-source your code. The closest thing to a "one-true-widget-set-for-X11", it would be Motif - and even that is free if you're developing for Linux - see OpenMotif...

Maybe try:
Tools -> Preferences, In Plugins, Turn on "Message Notification". In Plugins -> "Message Notification", turn off "Set Window Manager Urgent Hint".
I believe that should do it. (I don't have my windows machine handy to check it out, but I believe that's what that setting is for. Alternately, you can turn off the notifications completely from that screen too; turn on the plugin, then turn off all the notification options.
or as the blurb put it: "who would pay $1.99 to download an episode of 'Lost' from iTunes if the iPod could also hook up to your television and record that same episode free?"
People who missed taping an episode?
Also - all those people who currently go out and buy the DVD editions of those self-same TV series?
I'm no zealot, so if you've found a solution which works for you, then great. Otherwise, (or if you have need for it in the future), you may want to check out floppyfw, or one of the other floppy-based distros. They typically target 386-class machines, so will usually support ancient hardware.
Not all of us who choose to use and recommend such systems are jerks. I'm sorry you had to deal with them, but unfortunately I don't know anywhere online where you can get useful help from the more helpful of us, without getting drowned out by the blind zealotry.
Try to remember a time when you didn't think it was logical to edit text files in buried/etc to fix things. I know, it's hard.
It's not hard - I remember such times easily. However, in those days, we complained about having to edit text files called "INI files" in C:\WINDOWS, and "CONFIG.SYS" in C:\. Eventually, that avenue was taken from us, and we had to resort to using a graphical tool to change settings in a binary data-store, which was called the "Registry", which contained the exact same entries as the old "INI files", but without the ability to edit them in DOS mode.
Just because they're not stored in/etc doesn't make them magically more easy to use...
By that logic, a US citizen, couldn't come to say, the UK, get a CAA issued license and fly with it coz they don't have permission from the FAA?
I believe it only applies to US-registered planes, not US citizens... Since the plane is registered in the US, anything that happens aboard is under US law, including actually flying the thing.
At least, that's how I understand it works here in Australia. You can't fly Australian-registered planes with a US licence, but you can fly US planes within Australian airspace with a US licence.
This is a good thing and its tru the possiblity for abuse is great but the same thing can be said for the blink tag, marquees and fonts in the early days of the web.
Excuse me? The blink tag can alter files on your hard disk? I'm not sure where the analogy fits...

"Vouche" is correct in British English.

They talk about OpenMP, (as The Boojum mentioned) and they use it in a way analogous to what you're describing there... an example: (Damnit... slashcode fuxors up the indenting...)

Is that device required to modify and view the images that are displayed? If so, that looks to be less portable than your typical PDA.
I'm just wondering how a device which fits in the palm of the hand rolled up, and can be operated in a configurations barely the size of a small book is less portable than your average PalmPilot/iPaq/full-featured-cellphone/iPod?
Why you shouldn't use the Library GPL for your next library The GNU Project has two principal licenses to use for libraries. One is the GNU Library GPL; the other is the ordinary GNU GPL.... Which license is best for a given library is a matter of strategy, and it depends on the details of the situation. At present, most GNU libraries are covered by the Library GPL, and that means we are using only one of these two strategies, neglecting the other. So we are now seeking more libraries to release under the ordinary GPL.

Licence mess? Hmmm...
Have you looked at projects like FLTK, wxWindows, Tk from Tcl/Tk, TIX, the Adobe Source Libraries, or Mozilla's XUL and XPFE etc? It's definitely possible to develop closed-source GUI software on X11 with a range of widget sets without violating licences.
And really, if you're developing closed-source software and want the KDE look-and-feel, you can always purchase a Qt developer licence instead of opensourcing your code.

yes a few have been made to run unofficial firmware unfortunately they don't seem to be the ones with built in dsl modems...

Is it just me, or is that "generator" a magnetic-core transformer instead of the bog-standard ferrite-core transformers on the market?
