time to geek out. I've using it solve some trajectory problems and now I'm playing with genetic code. SO COOL!

also try this: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=why+do+i+exist

That website has been my savior more times than I care to count. Gotta love engineering school, "I hope you remembered that boring math crap from three years ago because you need it now" was the sort of thing that site's great for.

LOL!

I changed your question to 'why do YOU exist', and it says
"I am doing computation for the world"

I just rephrased the question to:

"Why do humans exist?" and the answer;
"Wolfram|Alpha isn't sure how to compute an answer from your input" which is a pretty good answer

Time waster This could be a fun time waster. OK enought time wasted now. It can not answer a single question that I throw at it, so it needs better programmers. It could not tell me when or where I was born, why am I using Linux, and when will I get over my cold. It ain't too bright. LOL

Wolfram Alpha is awesome, but it's not omnipotent. It's wonderful for any mathematical problems you can put into an equation but I don't think it can read your mind (that's probably a good thing).
