Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I would like to find a good budget app for either my iphone or my kindle. Anyone have any suggestions for good free or cheap apps?

We use mint.com for tracking finances, and they have a free apps as well: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Mint.com's free app has been very kind to me. Put in a little work so it knows which credit card charge belongs in which category, and it's even kinder.
What does the paid version do extra, flea?

I don't think there is a paid version! Just, we use the web site, but there are also apps, and they, like the web site, are free.

Hey. New board.
If you like envelope style budgeting rather than automatic transaction tracking style budgeting, I highly recommend Goodbudget. It's a very different style of budgeting system but I love it immensely. It helped my marriage a lot too as there are no more fights about who is spending more of our money frivolously. I love love it. I only use it for discretionary purchases - regular expenses (bills, daycare, mortgage, even subscriptions) are budgeted for me on a spreadsheet since they don't change much or at all month to month.

Q: Hey, what is the difference between GOTO and GOSUB?
A: Oh, GOTO executes the next line and GOSUB you need like a return command at the end.
Would your programming teacher accept that (I guess I'm asking the olds, here) as an answer, or do you think there was a better way to say that for the TV audience? Because now I don't trust the things I don't know the answers for...

I would think that a little more clarity is needed. GOTO moves to an indicated section and begins executing code from that section, GOSUB indicates that it will run a subroutine and then return to the section of code that was being executed.

But I don't think the explanation really helps the audience understand that it goes somewhere else and keeps going, and GOSUB will come back and keep going from whence it was sent.
The character's response is, admittedly, "this is confusing." But the answer doesn't make me think of her as a computer expert, even if an antisocial one.
