Just say no to freeloadersJust say no to freeloadersPosted Jul 30, 2002 18:33 UTC (Tue) by tjc (guest, #137)In reply to: Just say no to freeloaders by DeletedUser2971 Parent article: LWN status update There ain't no such thing as a free lunch. It's a fundamental law of physics, kids. Actually, this is a fundamental law of economics, but the point is still valid. "Free as in freedom, not as in the delayed weekly edition of LWN." :-)

Just say no to freeloaders Posted Jul 30, 2002 19:39 UTC (Tue) by DeletedUser2971 ((unknown), #2971) [Link] Economics and physics both. On the physics side, TNSTAAFL is exemplified by the impossibiity of perpetual motion machines, among other things. Laws of Thermodynamics and all that.When choosing between citing a law of economics or a law of physics, always choose physics. It is a more absolute citation compared to economics. There is no such thing as a one armed economist, because, as Harry Truman pointed out, economists always say, "On the other hand. . . " ;-)
