Is this university taxpayer subsidized? If so, why is the research not being made available for use by those who have already paid for it, i.e. the taxpayers?

Tax-funded research should be in the public domain.

Period.

The folks using these things will argue that they're operating on the side of the "good guys", so they still fit within the parameters of that license.

I thought that any bolt-ons for apps had to be sold through the Apple Store so they could collect their 30% cut.

Not that I've paid much attention to Apple stuff in general, but I did get that impression from somewhere.

I use tuxcards. I used gnote for quite a while but I find tuxcards makes it easier for me to visualize what I have.

I don't keep huge piles of notes in it, though -- mostly things like to-do lists.

I bought one of those with my allowance when I was about the same age. It's currently occupying space on a shelf about six feet away from where I'm sitting now. It works as well today as it did when I first bought it.

I don't think your link has the complete story. You can find lots of information about this issue with a google search for facta (the name of a new US law that's trying to pull more people into the IRS dragnet) but here is one article that lays it out fairly succinctly:

U.S. citizens on the other hand, have an ongoing obligation to declare and report their worldwide income to the U.S.A., regardless of where they reside. U.S. citizens who have permanently departed the U.S.A. and have become full-time permanent residents of Canada are still required to file U.S. income taxes on an annual basis with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The only way for U.S. citizens to avoid this would be to go through a process to renounce their U.S. citizenship, which is not practical or desirable for most people. Therefore, a U.S. citizen who resides in Canada is essentially subject to the same U.S. filing requirements as they would if they continued to reside in the U.S.A. This means filing U.S. Form 1040 every year, and reporting worldwide income.

The bottom line for U.S. citizen residents of Canada is that they must file two returns each year â" a Canadian income tax return because they reside in Canada, and a U.S. return based on being a U.S. citizen. The Tax Treaty between Canada and U.S.A. has several mechanisms available know as foreign tax credits, to make sure the person does not have to pay duplicate taxes to both countries.

Original article here

If you're a US citizen you do have to file with the IRS every year, even if you don't live in the US and don't have any income in the US.

The only way out of it is to renounce your US citizenship.

A lot of stuff isn't up to much on the Android C64 emulator, but I highly recommend that you try Leaderboard Golf. Leaderboard Golf looks and works just like it was made for Android phones.

I use Vice on my desktop computer and Frodo C64 on my Android phone. Accordingly, I don't need an extra gadget to play with my Commodore 64.

Gamebase64 has everything you never needed to know about C64 games, Girls of '64 for everything in 8-bit nudity, and AppsnToolsBase64 for everything in utilities, business and productivity applications.

All c64 programs are tiny in modern terms; an uncompressed 1541 floppy disk image is only 170k. So you can carry every significant Commodore 64 program that was every released on a single flash drive or on your phone, and have plenty of room to spare.

"Free maps" doesn't mean what you seem to think it means. Didn't you pay $9.99 for them when you purchased the app?

That would be me. I've never spent a penny on apps for my Android phones or tablets.

What do I have on my phone right now:

Haven't paid a penny for any of it yet.

Honest question: What does Moon+ ebook reader do for $4.99 that FBReader doesn't do for free?

I've never looked at Moon+, but FBReader runs great on my computers, phones and tablets and does what it's supposed to do. The only feature I'd like to see added is a way to automatically sync the page that you're on between all of the devices, but I can see where that could be a problem; where do you store the central page number repository that you would probably need do do that.

I have a $100,000 digital cinema projector. (I own an operate a movie theatre.) The projector runs on Windows XP. Fortunately, it's not connected to the Internet; the server and associated hardware are a self-contained network. I load ("ingest) movies onto the system from CRU hard drives that arrive by courier or bus.

Don't knock an abacus. I have one right beside my computer.

It's great for binary arithmetic. I can visualize what's going on and don't have to reach for a pad of paper to play around with bit flipping. (Never been able to do binary arithmetic reliably in my head, unfortunately.)
