Try WolframAlpha!
Wolfram_Alpha
Try asking:
What is the answer to life, the world, and everything?
What’s the speed of an unladen swallow?
Where am I?
Why did the chicken cross the road?
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck?
How old are you?
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
Where is Waldo?
Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
Where are my keys?
(a math question)
(anything else you're curious about)

Re: Try WolframAlpha!
Thanks! I was afraid this thread would be a flop...
I use it for my homework sometimes.

I know, but I began to like iCompositions's better. So I use their smileys when I feel like it.

"I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a... fraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you."
"Yes, I'd like to hear it, HAL."
"Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do, I'm half crazy all for the love of you." [gets slower, and slower...] "It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage. But you'd look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two."
That was the saddest death in any movie I've seen.

Re: Try WolframAlpha!
