TNSTAAFL
/tan'stah-fl/ (From Robert Heinlein's classic "The
Moon is a Harsh Mistress") "There Ain't No Such Thing As A
Free Lunch".
Often invoked when someone is balking at the prospect of using
an unpleasantly heavyweight technique, or at the poor
quality of some piece of free software, or at the
signal-to-noise ratio of unmoderated Usenet newsgroups.
"What? Don't tell me I have to implement a database back end
to get my address book program to work!" "Well, TANSTAAFL you
know." This phrase owes some of its popularity to the high
concentration of science-fiction fans and political
libertarians in hackerdom.

/tan'stah·fl/
[acronym, from Robert Heinlein's classic SF novel The Moon is a Harsh
Mistress.] “There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch”, often invoked when
someone is balking at the prospect of using an unpleasantly heavyweight
technique, or at the poor quality of some piece of software, or at the {
signal-to-noise ratio} of unmoderated Usenet newsgroups. “What? Don't tell
me I have to implement a database back end to get my address book program
to work!” “Well, TANSTAAFL you know.” This phrase owes some of its
popularity to the high concentration of science-fiction fans and political
libertarians in hackerdom (see Appendix B for discussion).
Outside hacker circles the variant TINSTAAFL (“There is No Such Thing...”)
is apparently more common, and can be traced back to 1952 in the writings
of ethicist Alvin Hansen. TANSTAAFL may well have arisen from it by
mutation.
