I actually have cygwin on my computer already so I might try it out. I've been considering learning Python. Thanks for the tips!

Hi Sorry for the ambiguous title. I am looking to write a program that, upon dragging and dropping a text file onto it in Windows, it will do some pre-determined manipulation to the text, like deleting a certain amount in the beginning, replacing spaces with tabs, etc. If you couldn't...

Really? Are you referring to a particular store or somewhere online? This may be useful in the future. Perhaps I should ask the local electronics shop.

Thanks berkeman. It turns out that I don't need this anymore. However, what I was looking for was something like a rotary switch, specifically a 6-pole 2-position. Thanks anyway :)

I'm not very experienced with electronics so this might be a simple question: I have a tool that outputs signal information through a serial cable. I have two devices that connect with it, so I physically pull the plug and switch connections when needed. However, I would like to create a...

Thanks for the replies! I hope my English is up to par, though 4 years at a tech school and without much (quality) writing required, I may need to brush up. I know my university has an exchange program with the University of Zurich, and though that's in Switzerland, I hope German recognition...

Hi everyone: I've been really thinking about going to get my masters (or equivalent) in physics in a German speaking country. I say this because I am really fascinated by German culture and wish to go there to become fluent in the language anyway. I was thinking that perhaps I would study...

On that note, I believe French-speaking Quebecers consider their language to be completely different from French (though I believe the difference is larger than the one between American and British English). In fact, the working class consider proper/Parisian French to be an "accent of a...

I don't drive too often in the city (and not at all in Boston..), but when I do, I usually am at the speed limit or above. Most of my driving is done on the interstate, where I'm definitely going above 15mph above the 65mph limit. It's hard to get a real average though, considering toll stops...

Something tells me you pasted the wrong link

Yeah it went up to about 60 degrees F today in Troy - an awesome way to start Spring Break.

Yes, but legal precedence only works if you're comparing two very similar situations. The woman choosing abortion is different because the claim is that she has control over her own body. If abortion were not a legal medical procedure, she could technically use a coat hanger and achieve the...

You're right, but what I mean is that the matter of pre-birth is irrelevant. If there is a viable and born child sitting in the court room, the court will rule in its favor - that is what I was trying to convey. The mother's choice to abort or not might still exist before birth, but after...
