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...
I'm a few years older, but the attitude of most of high school math teachers was basically "you're not in elementary school anymore, I assume that you know how to do basic arithmetic by now, so I don't care whether or not you use a calculator."

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)
