I'm a professor for medicine at the University of Applied Sciences in Ulm, teaching in the study course "Health Information Management". I'm a physician by training (specialized in microbiology, therefore well-acquainted with bugs and viruses of all kinds) who also likes to program. I started programming way back in my teens on the Atari 800XL and later on the Amiga 2000 (mostly in C), then stopped for a while after switching to PC/Windows, primarily because my studies didn't leave enough time.
I discovered Python a few years ago and was hooked immediately. Suddenly programming was fun again. Most of the stuff I've been writing has to do with data crunching, XML processing and so on. I picked up a little knowledge on regular expressions along the way, and that is the area I'm most active in here on StackOverflow.

Correcting paper size in Microsoft Word without losing the existing page formatting How do you expect getting rid of the margins without changing the flow of the paragraphs? Either the margins remain, or there will be more text per page, and that will affect the layout. |

Is it possible to do any programming on the Microsoft Surface RT? Thanks, I haven't bought the Surface yet, and I know about the Pro, but I really want to try the Surface RT (lighter, cheaper, longer battery life, Jeff likes it...) |

Is it possible to do any programming on the Microsoft Surface RT? I do have Python 2.7.3 installed on my iPhone, too. Something like that would be great for Surface... |

Why are some (all?) files bigger on Mac OS X? ...and I guess they did it so people would finally stop complaining "My new 3 TB drive only has 2.7 TB! I'm being robbed!" |

Python auto indents when I copy/paste This is not a programming question according to the FAQ. You should ask this on SuperUser (or read the manual of your editor), because it's not Python, it's your editor that does the indenting. |
