Question: Why do really brainy people tend to be called Stephen?
Do your magic Boards!

Same principle as using chopsticks over a fork.

are you serious? stephen wolfram is not posting on boards, the man is a genius - sure he created Mathematica.

No, not rly.

I didn't take the random poster claiming it was he as verification, but I also couldn't be arsed disputing it and leading to more rambling from them about how they most definitely are.
As a side point, being a genius wouldn't prevent the guy from posting on a forum.

I don't know what Mathematica is.

I better go Wolfram it.

Much easier to post your question on Boards where it is automatically sifted into the correct forum of experts who will analyse your query, de-structure it down to its very basic levels, gather responses for each iota then reconstruct into a coherant reply which will in turn be summerised and a joke added for good measure.

Sounds like a good idea although it will take some doing to unsurp the likes of Google and Wiki. What most dont realise is that with Google half the stuff returned by wiki is very inaccurate. Better off using an online encyclopedia like Britannica.

I wonder what its going to do when I start inputting questions like:

How long is string?
Why does cheese?
What time should I leave work at today?

In the words of some random Dub in the Amstel ads - "This is going to be great!"

Input interpretation:

how long is string

Result:

"its ok: i dont know either."

clearly not that clever or impressive.
google gets 85,000,000 hits. obviously i know there isnt a hit worth clicking on, but its a more impressive result.

interestingly too, you cannot copy/paste the answer you get. coded that way. there goes my hopes of chemistry lab reports from online. some questiong we get are impossible to phrase into google or wiki.
