Fortran is not used at most businesses. I doubt Fortran is used much anywhere outside of possibly engineering. Even then Engineers probably use some type of AutoCad like software that does modelling, and therefore nobody needs to know FOrtr

Why don't men want to be elementary school teachers? Well nobody really cares that much why, but they definitely don't. I think they don't because it's a low-pay, low-respect job and there's a risk of being called a

This probably has more to do with undermining WP (which is competing with android in the low end phone market) than anything to do with browser support. They would block iOS too if they could, but they can't so that's why safari i

There are windows design guidelines, most developers/ISV's adhere to them. Another point: many companies don't want to spend any time or effort on design, as for most applications, it won't translate into additional reve

What about roman concrete, I heard they also had the steam engine, but steam technology was regarded as useless because of the abundance of slaves. Wikipedia seems to indicate that they were responsible for a number of technological advance

It's pointless to create more jobs by lowering the minimum wage (or eliminating it) if no one could possibly live off of the wages of the jobs this created. So the answer is to only have jobs that could support someone without governme
