Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
based on what I saw, high-speed internet required... if you're on dialup, it'll timeout before you even get enough data downloadedOriginally Posted by Mtn.man
Honestly I don't see much special about it.
This thing is only in it's infancy and the implications of where it could go are astounding.
What makes it so unique is that it actually computes the answers-not just give you results.
So think of it like a huge thinking online encyclopedia. The amount of knowledge one could gain in an incredibly short time is amazing. Educational time will be stripped away. Answers at your finger tips. Or, like my wife said, it's like the computer on star trek. And that's just the simple stuff that I can understand, lol.
It will also have the ability to predict the future in a way, too, based on computations of cyclic repetition of the past.
So a dolt like myself with be able to finally do trig and plot some planets, lol.
It will even out the field between not-so-smart people and the more intelligent among us.
This is a program/website that every person in the world who has internet can and probably will use every day. That's the big deal, at least to me. 'Cuz I really don't understand most of the technical shit.
In short, just like star trek, you can ask it any fact-based question, pretty much any way you want to, and it will give you the answer. A genie. A crystal ball. What the techies call it goes on and on. It's really unique.
I've tried to find out more about the stock, but can't seem to. One result said $250 a share, but then when you click on the link, it say nothing about the stock.
I guess I'll actually have to see the live site in action ~ doing something with data that might apply to/interest me.

That is pretty amazing! That could really revolutionize the way market research is performed.
Semantic webs are really going to revolutionize the way we analyze and piece together data.
Speaking of, has anyone played with the new Google Wonder Wheel? IE: http://www.google.com/search?q=ar-15...tbs=ww:1&tbo=1
Man was I disappointed! I looked at the thread title and thought something nasty was going on with wolves and people! EEEW nasty thoughts!

Guntroll, I think you've been eating too much tactical bacon. ROTF!!!
I spent my Obama Stimulus money on a GUN!
What? Don't be thinking of my bacon!
On a serious note I think this sounds neat ,but as Foxtrot said it could spell doom for higher education in a sense.
