So, we have Apple who is paranoid about people installing legally purchased copies of its operating system on non-Apple labelled machines. Just when you thought it couldn't get any more ridiculous than that, we have a hardware company trying to prevent people from installing operating systems on its hardware. Wait, what?

I know what you mean, there weren't any math classes that allowed calculators, and sneaking one in was an easy way to get yourself a 0 if caught. Im only 27 so it wasn't all that long ago... A few fellow nerds did get around it by wearing those calculator watches but still you should know how to do the work and using a calculator is kinda cheap way out (or a way for schools to get pad grades for funding in the future)
