If you go to /System/Library/Extensions you will see a file called Don's Steal Mac OS X.kext. It is only on Intel Macs and this is what it said:

<key>_name</key>
<string>Dont Steal Mac OS X</string>

Why would they put that there?

DSMOS (how the short term for this kext is) is pretty well known as the "motor" of the AES File encryption. If you want to get a good read on DSMOS, try Amit Singhs blog. 22 Oct. I guess it was when he added and nice article on the Poem. The one posted above is not the poem, it is something diffrent, but I request you to remove it fromt he forum please. Thanks.

Your karma check for today

 

There once was a user that whined

his existing OS was so blind,

he'd do better to pirate

an OS that ran great

but found his hardware declined.

 

Please don't steal Mac OS!

Really, that's way uncool.

 

So he decided very quick,

just do it with a a stupid trick,

just to fix it with a hack,

now he runs with - out real mac.

 

Please don't bind Mac OS

It's really uncool too.
