    Nice analogy.

  13. Re:Not sure if I got this correctly on 2 In 3 Misunderstand Gas Mileage; Here's Why · · Score: 1

    Dunno why the formatting got all messed up..

    > Which saves more gasoline, going from 10 to 20 mpg, or going from 33 to 50 mpg

    Now if I move from 10 to 20 mpg:

    To travel 100 miles, I will be using 5 gallons
    If I move to 50 mpg: To travel 100 miles, I will be using 2 gallons

    So definitely 50 mpg is better in terms of 20 mpg. Who cares what percentage of fuel I am saving? If I go by TFA, moving to 20 mpg from 10 mpg is better, since I save more % *compared* to my earlier mileage. However, I still end up burning more fuel compared to 50mpg

  18. Moral of the story on For Automated Testing, Better Alternatives To DOS Batch Files? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Moral of the story.... Never ask slashdotters something which begins like 'Which programming laguage should I use..." Chances are no one cares what the original problem is, but everyone will start bitching about how their 'programming language' is the most elegant one and can solve any problem under the sun! Your program works, is maintainable and does what it is supposed to do. You already are using the best solution! Others may not like it because they may think X programming is the real mans programming language. fcuk them!
