The countries did not exist but the explorers are from what today are those countries and there are plenty of them from after the 15th century, so you can substitute Spain and Italy with whatever country(ies) the explorers were from, at the time. You try again.
I can get to one hand only in the Europe: the Portuguese, the Spanish, the British, the Dutch and the Italians. I'm not as well versed in the history of other parts of the world, but I'm pretty sure that between Asia, Africa, and native populations of the Americas, you'll probably reach some multiple of that number.
Honestly, I've given up on Paypal. Back in 2009, I've had my account frozen due to using many credit cards. Since I didn't have a job, I (thought I) couldn't get an actual credit card, and used a service in my country that generates temporary credit card numbers, valid for a month and with a set credit limit*. Well, Paypal didn't like that I used more than (IIRC) 15 credit cards in X time, so they blocked my account. I've since learned that Paypal e-mail support is where messages go to die, and, through site revisions, has become almost impossible to find. So, to resolve my problem, I had to call an Irish number, where this lady basically told me "No credit card, no dice". So then silly me goes and gets an actual credit card and calls again. "Looks good. It should be OK, now" - someone else says. It isn't. The next call: "OK, reset the password from your main computer". a) My main computer was a laptop which died in the middle of this process, and I've told them this, and b) What's the point of being on the web if you're requiring people to do something from a set computer? I've reset the password and the account is still blocked, so I've given up. Luckily, I only lost a little money in this process, but I've been finding that living without PayPal is easier than I thought.
A thousand times this. Installing Windows on generic hardware is, in fact, _harder_ than installing Linux. You know every other bit of hardware you have in your system? Sorry, you've got to go get a specific driver for it, because the generic sucks so hard it makes it almost, if not entirely, unusable.
Do you think he doesn't know that? This is politics. So you're the CEO of a company. Are you really going to come out to your shareholders and say "We're in the shit 'cause our competitors have done better? We'll one-up up them now! Promise!" Of course not! This raises nasty questions like "Well, why didn't you do better before it was a problem?" or "Oh yeah? And how are you going to do that?", questions which either aren't productive or can't be answered without showing your cards to your competition. No... instead, you make up some silly excuse that sounds plausible to anyone who isn't in the know.
So... there's an event in the city where I've lived my whole life, and I find about it in an American website? What the hell is the organization thinking?
I'm sorry, but running a stop sign in an intersection with good visibility in all directions most definitely _is_ a tiny little thing, and it's a shame both that the law doesn't treat it as such, and that the sign is in the intersection in the first place.
I'm kinda young for Thundercats, but having watched a couple of re-runs, the thing that sticks in my mind is how awful the animation was, standing in stark contrast to the animation on the opening credits, which was brilliant.
YES! I thought it was the only one. It's a beautifully shot movie, with very well designed sets, but a good movie it isn't. And that acid trip at the end felt like a big bird flip to the audience.

3.5" floppy disks are proven... to be horribly unreliable.
I wouldn't know. Maybe it's different outside of Europe? Maybe you got lucky? Maybe Paypal stopped/started caring? I'm glad you could get support.

I've noticed that comment wasn't very useful, so here's a link.
It actually can compile code using the Win32 API.
Windows 3.0 didn't have true multitasking, so that limitation didn't even apply. It could afford to dump all the memory into a single program.
They do? I mean, RTS AIs are notorious for cheating, so I'd expect that the CPUs power wouldn't have much of an effect.
It's definitely not normal here in Portugal. In fact, it's unheard of.
*they _are_ talking about
The gist of your post is fine, but this sentence is ridiculous:
If the company won't say which patents they is talking about, how are you going to those patents away from them?
This sentence makes my brain hurt.

I think your sarcasmometer is broken.

That would make them not idle, no?
o.O
Isn't that in the traffic rules? Here in Portugal it's:

Would the US government need to go to an ATM machine and input a PIN number in order to withdraw money to pay for its ICBM missiles?
