>There is debate about whether the rise in IQ scores also corresponds to a rise in general intelligence, or only a rise in special skills related to taking IQ tests. Because children attend school longer now and have become much more familiar with the testing of school-related material, one might expect the greatest gains to occur on such school content-related tests as vocabulary, arithmetic or general information. Just the opposite is the case: abilities such as these have experienced relatively small gains and even occasional decreases over the years.

>Researchers have shown that the IQ gains described by the Flynn effect are due in part to increasing intelligence, and in part to increases in test-specific skills.

It doesn't have to be completely unused to be avoided. In a case like:

if a then b + c else c + d

a and c are always evaluated, only b or d is evaluated not both. Removal isn't an option because b and d maybe used.

Most new computers come with a warranty that is 90 days. Why should software support be 5x longer?

As far as size for wheel chairs it mentions having a pod that could fit a car(a Tesla of course) so fitting a wheel chair shouldn't be much of a challenge, or for the smaller pod it mentions being over 6 feet tall and over four feet wide I don't see why you couldn't fit a wheel chair in that amount of space.

Musical phrases.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrase_%28music%29

Means almost the same thing as linguistic phrases except it is about groups of notes rather than groups of words.

The short version is assign FSF copyright, or put it in the public domain.

    string output = numb.toString();
    if(numb % 3  == 0) ouput = "Fizz";
    if(numb % 5  == 0) output.Append("Buzz");
    write output;

typical grape juice has 50% more sugar than Coca-Cola. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juice

Orange juice 170 calories from sugar vs 150 for cola (12 oz) http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/how-sweet-is-it/

Googling "sugar in apple juice" turns up 170 for 12 oz as well.

The couple of small companies that I have worked for that had such a pledge took it seriously. They would hand source for every release over to an escrow company ensuring availability after company death.

Also he doesn't seem to understand the design goals nor the complexity of what Mir is trying to accomplish. Therefore I don't give it much weight.

For example in OCaml the match statement would be:

     match ( i mod 3, i mod 5) with 
      | (0,0) -> Printf.printf "Fizzbuzz"
      | (0,_) -> Printf.printf "Fizz"
      | (_,0) -> Printf.printf "buzz"
      | (_,_) -> Printf.printf "%d" i

To me with very limited experience in it, Rust really feels like OCaml with a skin that C programmers will understand.
