aspokaspofkjsopfkapo Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Wolfram|alpha is an answer query engine that aims at computizing all the information in the world. Some examples of what it does are: -search "steven" and it will give you the popularity of the name(percent), fraction of worlds population with name, and number of people born per year with that name, graph of history of use of that name and tons and tons of more info -5+5, you get 10, ten and visual representation -tons more http://www.wolframalpha.com/screencast/ ... alpha.html (explains wolfram|Alpha) http://www.wolframalpha.com/ (website) PS the search engine is slow due to extreme load Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danqazmlp Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Looks quite good, i tried seeing what it would give as an aswer when i put my type of car into it, but its overloaded atm. I kinda think they need to change the name if they want it to hit real big, a simple small name is really good for these types of things. Want to be my friend?

EdgedThesis Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 "I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that." That's freaking creepy. You're called Dave? :D Hahahaha, no-- Its just that its a reference to the artificial intelligence from 2001: A Space Odyssey. An artificial intelligence that for some reason becomes ominous and unfriendly is scary to me. I'd like very much not to blow my chances at befriending another form of sentience. Becoming enemies will be... stupid, and counter to the great goal of uniting all intelligence under a common flag. Ahem. Anyway. But I don't want to go among mad people!Oh, you can't help that.

Lenticular_J Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Aww. It doesn't have anything to say about my name. :( At least I learned that my city is almost 4,000 feet high, and the same distance from both Ciudad de Juarez and Fort Worth. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave0293 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I was looking at it yesterday. That search engine is freaking amazing. It's the first that I have considered using sometimes instead of google (excluding specific databases that our school subscribes to). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tip.It isn't Runescape exclusive #-o Um....around 90% of the traffic on tip.it is for the non-forums section of the website, and of the forums section i'd say around 20% or less of traffic is for non-runescape discussion. Facepalming for a point he didn't even convey, and that is incorrect is just stupid.

Runescapeloser used a present verb tense, so being the English-speaker I am, I presumed he was talking about the present. Anyways, I still don't see how his post had anything to do with Dan's post.

runescapeloser22 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 If I had said, "Tip.It wasn't Runescape exclusive", then it would sound like it is exclusive right now. Which it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you are incorrect. If you had said "Tip.it wasn't Runescape exclusive", then that would mean it wasn't exclusive in the past.

Will H Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Oh, I like this. It's like Wikipedia, but just gives you straight facts. That could potentially make it far more useful. Ooh, post 2500! :thumbsup: ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy500fan Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Yeah, saw this over a week ago and then again a few days ago when it was on Digg. That is probably why the traffic is so high. Haven't found a time when I needed to use it yet, but a few sample searches looked interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
