Look up marine wiring and the American Boat and Yachting Council wiring regs. Annoying complex but very clear about how to string 12 - 24 volts around in difficult conditions. You will have to get used to a different color code and they've not heard of Anderson Power Poles (wonderful connectors) but applicable to land use as well.
Turkey is more secular than the USA. In the courts in TR u don't take an oath on holy books. Prime ministers take oath on constitution. Not saying "God bless Turkey" . On Turkish money there are pictures of Ataturk and Turkish scientists. No "In God we trust" on our money either;)
That may well be 'superficial secularism'. If indeed, the Turkish government is closely tied with a single religious faction and grants extra power to that faction, the window dressing makes little difference.
And you don't have to swear on Bibles in the US if you are so inclined.
IMHO, the Church / State separation is not as assiduously maintained as it should be (along with separation of powers, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and a couple of other useful documents and concepts).
Religion is a personal choice, you moron. At least it should be.
You might want to get out in the real world a bit more. Religion is often what you're born with. Yes, it would be nice if everyone got to pick and chose after careful deliberation, but that rarely happens. And, in many places in the world, religion is also a tag or badge or category that places significant restrictions on your life at many levels.
Very few countries have the separation between church and state that is jealously guarded in the US.
I challenge anyone to create a website that conforms to such a huge number of rules -- some of them probably contradictory!
Conservatives constantly point out how excessive regulation makes doing business difficult. Well it makes things difficult on the government, too. Let's be fair.

"Hold on here. He was a patriot for his country. He developed an arm that could be produced in mass quantities because that is what his government needed at that time. He didn't set out to arm terrorists, just to make an arm for the foot soldier in the USSR, to be used in horrible field conditions by mostly uneducated soldiers."
That might very well be the case, but nonetheless, why the fuck is this 'news for nerds'?
You jest, but an interesting Slashdot poll would be to guess the weight of all unused electronic equipment within a 50 yard radius of the poster. Another interesting question would be a breakdown on age. I still have an Otrona Attache from the early 80's.... Hey samzenpus....
You don't seem to understand how this works. Their actually isn't anything in the contract that puts the vendor liable for anything - pretty standard in the medical field. Yes, if we had to go back, we would not have used that software - for a variety of reasons. But the software is here and the costs to switch vendors is unacceptably high.
Thanks for the info. Got one on order. You all should work on a ruggedized military / police version - there is likely a big market for that sort of thing. Look at the GoPro. Bonus points for adding a tear gas canister or a launcher frame for Estes rocket engines.
You do realize that the desktop OS isn't the only product that MS sells?
We're stuck on XP until our EHR vendor gets it's new system out or goes tits up (the more likely scenario at this point). But we've upgraded to Server 2008, the new Office (may His Noodliness crush the designer of the Ribbon through the Colander of Might and reduce him to naked semolina), a bunch of CALs and a whole raft of keyboards (from some bizarre reason).
Microsoft is doing very well with us, thankyouverymuch.
At the absolute worst case scenario, they can run it in XP Mode, which is a full fledged virtual machine which can run anything that ran on XP.
Except when it doesn't run anything. We have three (3) mission critical software packages that won't run under XP emulation. The vendors have all agreed that they won't run. One of the vendors (our primary EHR) has a fix - their beta level new system that works just fine on 7, when it works at all, which is infrequently. The other two just don't say anything at all. I suppose they will introduce a new version in April that costs another 30K (just like the one last year).
But not complicated mission critical business software from the 1990's. Oops.
If your business can't afford to update that XP-dependant app, you probably shouldn't have written such a specialized app to begin with or used the development environment and libraries you chose.
Yes, I've discussed that with our vendor. The people responsible for that decision have been sacked a while back. They still can't get it to run on Win 7. Nor can they get their new version to do half the things we need it to do. Sucks, to be us, I suppose, but this little problem appears to be endemic in the system.
Actually XP mode doesn't work for a disturbing amount of software. Especially the networked Enterprise level software that is really a cast iron bitch to replace.

Of course its a tradeoff, because the new RAM will have less of its spare ECC bits used up.
You need to study the concept of ECC a bit more. :) It's not some kind of reallocated bit, like hard drive's reallocated sectors.
Ya'll have been seriously whooshed. That buzzing noise. It's not a FBI drone.
"Help us Google, you're our only hope?"
No, that just doesn't sound right for some reason.
Why do two theives work together on a heist?
Money. Always follow the money.
You have been able to do that for years. The problem isn't the equipment. It's the skill set of the people involved.
There are over 2.8 million words of Obamacare regulations!

In Oklahoma it is illegal to get a fish drunk. Now, work on the morality aspect of that one if you will.

Come on, use some imagination.
"I'm proud of my invention, but I'm sad that it is used by terrorists."
"I would prefer to have invented a machine that people could use and that would help farmers with their work – for example a lawnmower."
Russian farmers used lawnmowers?
No wonder the 5 year plans never worked out.
Wait. What?
Do Twinkies come from AC or DC?

So many possibilities.....
Which is why Google Street View has been such an abject failure. It is not just art. There are other reasons to take a photograph.
