And if each of your two parents had dual citizenship and none of the countries overlapped, you should be allowed to have quadruple citizenship! And so on until you have someone who is a CITIZEN OF THE WORRRRRLD.

Leap days align the rotation of the earth such that the first rotation (day) lines up with roughly the same point in the orbit each year.

Leap seconds are to keep the official "second" (based on the spin of Caesium) in sync with the actual rate of rotation. What's interesting…

Indeed. The ability to hack devices is considered a "good thing", normally. They're just undoing all the damage to the functionality which Apple have done by locking it down.
