Striker StrikerI forgot to check the oil pressure
Now back at the shoutbox! ->[edit] meh, nevermind.

I was stumbling out of boredom and found an interesting site.
I don't know if you guys know about Wolfram Alpha but it's one of the most cool sites I've ever seen.
I already made a post on my blog so I'm not going to write about it again.

[EDIT] Also, I have to express my opinion about the search system on twhl:
IT SUCKS.

I was randomly looking after one old thread of mine, this one.. It's the Cool Sounds one.
My input in the search box: Cool Sounds.
Current status: On page #12 and still didn't found my thread. Wtf?

Wolfram Alpha is nice when doing Calculus II homework.

You are slow, mister. I've been there when it went live.
And yeah, it's very useful.

You mean this thread?

The search function does suck, but all you need to check is the date of the thread, and go from there. Of course, that doesn't work unless you know the date.

You can also look at the url in archive.org and take:

...&action=viewthread&id=14725&...

Take that number and translate it to the current TWHL URL format.

It can't fail.

It's a "Forum Posts" search, not a Forum Topics search. Stop bitching.

Nevermind, i was mistaken.

But yeah, you have to search for something that is specifically in the posts contents, can't be the title unless someone says the title in one of the posts.
