Germany won in 2010 and 1982. Finland 2006. Israel two times in a row, 1978 and 1979. Again in 1998. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Eurovision_Song_Contest... Edit: Now I realize the parent was just being sarcastic. Anyway,

I wonder what kind of metrics could be achieved simply by measuring how many mAhs it takes from google translate to translate from one language to another? EDIT: Put simply, converting understandable sentences from one language to another i

I didn't know about Errol Morris before I read this article, so I went and read the Ashtray pentalogy. It was very well written and interesting indeed, but I cannot help thinking that it was also a bit too harsh on Kuhn. What I can totally
