Really? That'S weird, I would have thought that normally we got full rights to do what we want with what we buy (except killing people and stealing stuff, for example).
That's what you're allowed to do by default, but software licenses are very common and they usually attempt to restrict your rights by not allowing you to do more than running the software. It would be good if we had the rights to install software however we want to, but we sadly don't. Also if it'S really legal to install a CAS OS on a non-CAS calc, then why was RunOS never released?
The sites that such a program would be hosted on might end up in trouble, since TI might have done something similar to what they did when the OS signing keys were released - the materials are legal, but TI doesn't like it and thus they send DMCA notices to try to take it down. The Nspire might also end up in trouble on tests if it can run CAS OSes (but that doesn't seem to be a problem now even though OSLauncher exists). I'm not completely sure about why the author didn't release it, but I think these reasons are likely.

In that case, why do people buy the CAS then? 
Because it's pretty hard to install a non-intended OS.

If you bought both of them, I'M sure it would be legal. Once you paid for both, you should be allowed to do what you desire with them. If you pirate Mac OS on TPB then install a copy on your PC, then it's illegal.
The issue when installing the CAS on the non-CAS models is that when you buy a TI-Nspire, you mostly pay for the CAS/Non-CAS software, not just the calc itself. By installing the CAS software for free on a non-CAS calc, you're stealing $50 from TI.
Installing the CAS OS on a non-CAS Nspire is legal even if you haven't bought an Nspire CAS. The software is available for free on TI's website, and the license allows you to store one copy on a calc and one copy on a computer for backup purposes. It doesn't say anything about which calcs you can put the OS on, so you can install it on whichever one you want to (even a Casio calc, but that wouldn't work ). If it's ethical to do this is another question, but it's much more difficult to answer. Installing the Mac OS on a non-Apple computer is always illegal even if you own it, because Apple's EULA (unlike TI's) forbids you to do that.

Some changes will have to be made, because the CX is a bit different on software side (and that matters too  ).
Yeah. It seems like TI has added protections on the CX for pretty much everything that we've created for the old Nspires, so it wouldn't surprise me if changing the running OS is harder even if we are able to run native code.

For the domain I was considering some ideas such as:
casiozone.org
casioalliance.org
casiohub.org
what do you guys think?
Maybe we could use calcfiles.org? That name doesn't seem to be used (and sounds a bit better IMO because it's more simple and easy to remember), and it would also work well if we ever need to start focusing on calcs from other companies in the future just like what is happening with Casio now. We could also include a link to ticalc.org, telling people that TI programs are hosted there.

I strongly agree that an archive site that allowed Casio calc submissions would be very useful, especially for new users who might have trouble learning how to install games and where to find them. If the Prizm is going to be as good at gaming as the z80 series, a good source of programs and information is crucial. All of the files that currently exist are generally spread out between the Omnimaga, Cemetech and casiocalc.org archives, so there isn't a good place where all of the programs are. If one of these forums do become the largest source of programs, things might still be tricky, since some people dislike some forums and newcomers might only notice the forums and not the files.

Hmm... The most common reason for malfunctions on 83+es is that the screen doesn't work, or more specifically that the ribbon cable that sends data to the screen is loose. That cable might be your issue. I'm not sure, though.

Also, another ti-nspire linking program. TI-nspire student software sucks, since, like websense, it has so many restrictions.
There is already one - it's named TiLP. If you want to try it, I recommend the newest beta version since it has much better Nspire compatibility.

Isn't that the prerelease 1 link?

Is it just me, or does it look like he's downloading BOINC instead of the Nspire Software? EDIT: In IE6

Messing with our own machine is not illegal since we bought it, own it.
I think that what would be illegal (or close to illegal, "borderline") is a detailed instructions manual on how to do it.
It's obiviously not the same, but it could be like a "how to build a nuclear weapon" or something. By itself, it can be chemistry for example, but the consequences can be dangerous.
Telling someone how to build a nuclear weapon is illegal since using a nuclear weapon is illegal. Since it's legal to install other software than the default software, telling others how to do so is also legal (as long as the software that's you're replacing the OS with is obtained legally, and in this case, it is, since you can download it from TI's website).

I don't believe that it would be illegal in any way, but I agree with the other things you said.

If it's identical does the game run on the american version?
The installed OS might be the same, but the calcs run the OS in different ways, so the game still won't work on the fx-CG10.

I think that you should write "Survive as long as you can without getting hitten by the cubes!" but an answer from someone whose first language is English would be better 
"getting hit" is correct. There don't seem to be any problems with the readme. (English isn't my first language either, though )
