You are right. We can't get any large projects completed today. Not the International Space Station, a large hadron collider, or anything of that sort.
Google is not a European company. Google has subsidiary companies that are registered in many countries, but they are mostly just sales offices. From your link: "We moved into our headquarters in Mountain View, California—better known as the Googleplex—in 2004.". Most international companies have subsidiaries where necessary -- either for tax purposes, or because the local governments require it.
Same thing for McDonalds, IBM, or any other multinational company.
Personally, I'd like to see Google just close their EU sales offices and let the EU eat dirt. Then they will just complain that they have absolutely no way of getting any EU companies listed in the search engine at all.

Dead ending VB6? Are you kidding? They had been saying that it was being phased out before VB6 was released. It's been dead for 17 years now. Give it a rest already. VB6 SUCKED.
You could not exchange documents with someone with a 4 years older Office. And this simple feature, exchanging data, had to be enforced by legal pressure...
Say what? Uh, no. Office has always allowed exchanging data to where ever, from where ever. I think you've drank too much of some funky cool aid. Word has always allowed saving to and from the 1997 version (.doc), or to other formats (.txt,
FIlters is how the older versions of word were given the capability long after release to be able to read newer version of the file format as well. For example, older versions word being able to read
Perhaps, but then again, everyone needs to agree that when the market crashes, they all have to then take a pay hit as well -- and good luck trying to make any financial decisions when your pay fluctuates like that.
I haven't negotiated the price of a house or car for over 12 years or so. My last car, I bought new and there was no negotiation at all.
The problem with that is that MOST people greatly overestimate their worth, often underestimating other people's worth. This tends to have on a whole a negative impact if everyone knows how their employers actually view their worth. Quite often, a person's salary is reflective of the market at the time they here hired. Everyone else that may be equal in value then gets disgruntled that they new hire is getting paid more, even though they are equal value. In general, most people simply can't handle the truth.
Yes, typewriters (and word processors) usually have adjustable tab stops. At some point (before I started using either -- pre 1970s), most considered every 8 characters as the standard. As the story goes, it was because it was easier for early word processors and electric type writers to use a number that was easy to handle in base-2, but I don't have a reference for you. It was what was taught to me in typing class in high school, and what the pcs of the time (IBM, Apple, Atari) used as well as all the major printers understood (hp, star, a few others). It's also the default for DOS (and windows), and the web. http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-te...
That door swings both ways. If you are supposed to be using spaces, how do you know that someone didn't put a tab in there?
Yet another person that doesn't understand the difference between random and "I don't understand".
Why are you using an editor that would replace tabs with spaces when it initially reads the file, yet doesn't convert the spaces back to tabs when it saves it? Sounds like a bad editor to me.
On typewriters and early word processors it was 8, and still is usually.
