Noooooooo! - DeathBorn, on 10/12/2007, -4/+124Google programmer 1: Oh no! The calculator's not working!
Google programmer 2: Don't worry! We'll just put the beta tag on, and WHAZAM! We're just experiencing "minor testing issues!" - ers35, on 10/12/2007, -4/+121Three things now! Google is failing at a rapid rate!
- greghunt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+71I think maybe it's to make us realise how much we depend upon Google.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+64ITSY2K7!
- chris9902, on 10/12/2007, -3/+62I know I do.
what the hell is 2+2... Google where art though! - Flinty, on 10/12/2007, -2/+552+2=4 Crisis averted :)
- corevette, on 10/12/2007, -7/+60yeah i've realized a lot of bad stuff happening to google lately
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+59We're not THAT desperate to know 2+2...
- sephiroth965, on 10/12/2007, -3/+52This bothers me; I use Google Calculator daily to convert stuff from and to Metric units.
- mastersquirrel3, on 10/12/2007, -8/+55"ITSY2K7!"
no its 4 - evilpig, on 10/12/2007, -1/+45Its like the Y2K all over again.
- burke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+39"You're"?
- IvanB, on 10/12/2007, -1/+28"well i dont know but with some search on google, according to radiohead, 2+2=5 ..."
That's from Orwell, not Radiohead. - ionut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23If you have Firefox 2, type "2+2" or "speed of light" in the search box. You'll get an instant answer... from Google.
- nreynolds, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23I'm going to a party tonite that's .00000000000000000331 parsec's away. How early should I leave?
- KibibyteBrain, on 10/12/2007, -4/+26Indeed, just goes to show that no matter how comfortable we get with web technology, even the best of the best are far from failure-proof.
- cybrjoe, on 10/12/2007, -7/+29Official Google Press Release
January 1st, 2007
Due to the recent discoveries in the "divide-by-zero" sector of mathematical research, we have currently removed all Google Calculator functions. As soon as we replace every processor in the Google Universe, Google Calculator 2.0 will return, featuring exclusive "Nullility Techonology TM." - atbnet, on 10/12/2007, -10/+30For you Windows folks
Start>Run type calc hit enter. Crisis averted. - yubpro, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22i typed in "2 plus 2 equals" and the first page that came up was "two plus two make five".
- Nougat, on 10/12/2007, -6/+26Long division FTW
- PathDaemon, on 10/12/2007, -4/+24How did you figure that out? Some kind of non internet-based year calculating system? Link me. I think I'm going to be needing it.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20wrong, actually.
- ATLBeer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Wow... I probably used this about once a day for rate conversions.
It was just too simple to type it into google..
PLEASE COME BACK - thewade, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Can someone please tell me how many leagues are in a furlong?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18
Sorry, My Bad. I did a division by zero calculation and it crashed Google. - yubpro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17ugh, so this is why i couldn't find out how many parsecs 2 million light years was...
now my dark lord will never find me! - killerofkiller, on 10/12/2007, -4/+21i need to know the speed of light in picoseconds per light year
- Chmarr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16"2+2=5"
Only for sufficiently large values of 2. - hooksie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15800 diggs and I still don't know what 2+2 is.
- Vinthian, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17google is the bible man... it's always there when you need something, but now....
- tallguy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18even quicker [windows key]+R, type calc, enter
- doskir, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16maybe the hamster powering the calculation cluster died ?
- Jo9100, on 10/12/2007, -6/+20well i dont know but with some search on google, according to radiohead, 2+2=5 ...
- Jjcd7, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14You can type in 2 plus 2 in firefox and it shows it automatically.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14
You know what's even scarier? That bad theme you applied to Firefox. - alexp2ad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Umm, his was submitted before yours...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Damnit people, type this into your browser address bar:
javascript:2+2 - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16Apparently you're not, it's you're not your.
- Pests, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Sorry ijustlost, I had to digg you down. I don't want children reading that sentence.
- D4r7h3v1l, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13"i need to know the speed of light in picoseconds per light year"
1. That isn't a measure of speed
2. If you meant the reciprocal of that, it is c/1000000000000 - recover82, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Abe Simpson: "My car gets forty rods to the hogs head, and that's the way I likes it!!!"
- Qopax, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11nooo! fluffy!!!
- Tricky, on 10/12/2007, -6/+16It's wherefore art thou. And it doesn't mean "where," it means "why."
- cmw72, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furlong):
"the speed of light in vacuum is approximately 1.803×1012 furlongs per fortnight, or rather 1.8 TeraFurlongs per Fortnight"
Google used to be able to do that calculation. :( - Onestone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Yeah, definitely working now. Proof: http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=teaspoons+in+a+cubic+light+year&btnG=Search

Even adding it to my google homepage doesn't work. I insert 2+2 into the field and it says "Calculation Failed"! *tear* - moose, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Maybe Google is mad at us because they didn't get a pony for Christmas :( They can't live without a pony, so they figured we can't live without a calculator.
- carl0ski, on 10/12/2007, -7/+16For you Linux/KDE folks
ALT+F2 type kcalc hit enter. Crisis averted. -
