I think you're referring to the "tyranny of the rocket equation". Learned about it on an XKCD what-if: http://what-if.xkcd.com/38/

Congrats! I love alternativeTo. It's my way to train parents and friends to find the best free alternatives to whatever ad-bloated software SEO'd their way to the top of Google last time they decided they needed to convert a movie

Agreed. A minute of dodging, ship goes zoom, and then a game reset. It'd be nice to at least see a summary of my resources, or a score, or anything.

I wonder if anyone has considered buying a Tesla (free recharges for life), driving home every day and finding a way to discharge the battery back into the grid through their meter to negate their home electricity bill.

I've been billing daily but yeah, in my limited consulting experience hourly is way more stressful and it isn't practical to have to account for your work at that level of granularity. Especially since this is a question specifically about

The stat sheet ( http://autos.nydailynews.com/compare/1525-1606-1613-3976/201... ) suggests that the Tesla S has none of the features of the other cars (including some obviously false claims like that it has no driver and passenger seat air

After the third paragraph sits this comparison with the Tesla Model S. http://autos.nydailynews.com/compare/1525-1606-1613-3976/201... The word 'disingenuous' comes to mind, as you can see they've deliberately started off with a Tesla Mod

Miraculous. Took me 15 seconds to remove this picture of my lovebird from a pretty busy background: http://clippingmagic.com/images/10765/f5ddd90ec956d482174e7e... I thought it'd have trouble since the bird is constantly changing colors b

As someone who is currently unable to read music, but wants to learn, this doesn't seem any more inviting than traditional notation. I'm further discouraged by the fact that even if I were able to somehow learn this notation faster, I would

This is disappointing for me, C# developers tend to make less. Then again, young people tend to make less (definitely causation) and C# developers tend to be young, so maybe there's no causation there. Or maybe there is and that's why older

"Github got me kicked out of the bar" These headline is super intriguing. Too bad this is only a set of topic title slides with no context or elaboration. Nice slideshow I guess?

I hope these people are carefully considering the many sources of input lag[1], especially display lag, before giving the controller a bad rap. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input_lag

Microsoft recruiters are doing their rounds for Seattle, and I was just asked over the phone how I would implement a quick sort. The answer I wanted to give would have been something like this blog post. As a developer I would never waste v

I shop for groceries about once per month, to buy food in bulk then freeze bread, meat and veggies. I grow some veggies in the backyard during the summer. I'm not the healthiest eater, mostly I just hate shopping. This gives me 6 misc days

Any chance of making the DXF file available for cheap to people with access to their own CNC machines? Unfortunately, while I am both a geek and a horse-person, I'm not much of a biker. The target audience is small, but hopefully with only
