An anonymous reader writes "One of the basic utilities supplied with any operating system is a desktop calculator. These are often simple utilities that are perfectly adequate for basic use. They typically include trigonometric functions, logarithms, factorials, parentheses and a memory function. However, the calculators featured in this article are significantly more sophisticated with the ability to process difficult mathematical functions, to plot graphs in 2D and 3D, and much more.

I think he's better off now, he got kicked out on last year, which means all the other years that he cheated before, he will have credits for, and he'll only have to do his last year again. Of course, nobody would have known he was cheating since day 1. But because he started suing left and right, we know he cheated since first year, which is pretty sad for him.
