Mar 23, 2014 at 18:16 comment added Peter Taylor "The information in WolframAlpha is an integral part of Mathematica and the Wolfram Language" is a rather alarming state of affairs. That must make it the least stable programming language in existence.

Mar 23, 2014 at 17:07 comment added DavidC @l0b0 I suppose you could see it that way. Or you might say that it exploits the functionality of the language. After all, WolframAlpha was designed from the ground up to interoperate closely with Mathematica.

Mar 23, 2014 at 16:47 comment added l0b0 -1 if I could - this simply munges a data structure from a pre-existing service.
Mar 23, 2014 at 14:40 comment added DavidC Whether the source is inside or outside is open to debate. I was considering the request for information on WolframAlpha (which the code does make) to be a case of (necessary) "access to the internet", even though the code directly consults a Wolfram data server and does not require the use of a browser like FireFox. It does require that one have a network or WIFI connection
Mar 23, 2014 at 14:11 comment added shiona I don't see how your program "has to" access the internet. The data you present doesn't change that frequently you would need to rely on an outside source.
