Why use this when I can type my question into Google and get ranked answers from answers.com? But I do like the design and interface, a lot.

- mechanical_fish 17y agoHeh. Because the answers that come back from answers.com won't be the answers to your specific homework problems. ;) Or has Google gotten that good, while I wasn't looking? [attempts to cut and paste equation from a question into Google to see what comes back] Um, is there a reason why I can't select the text of a question on this site we're reviewing? Is this a bug, or is it some sort of "feature" that just happens to drive me right up the wall? Anyway, the answer is: there really are a hell of a lot of pre-solved equations out there in the Google database. So maybe you're right. But I suspect that, even if the answer is out there in Google, there's still value in the service of locating that answer and presenting it to the questioner on a doily.
