Time and time again.

I take software engineering this term, and for some suspicious reason the instructor wants us to develop for the iPhone. Now, as if that wasn't bad enough, we must develop for it in Objective C, which can only be compiled on a mac system.
Quite redundant, considering a java application would work just as well and can be developed over any platform, meaning i don't have to buy or steal a mac to do so.
Nevertheless, our instructor, in his infinite wisdom argues that in real life one does not always have the luxury of choosing one's target application language, and often must learn new languages for new platforms.
True enough, however, one also has time, energy, and resources to handle the task, not to mention one gets paid for it.
Long story short, it has to be an iPhone app, and it has to be in Objective C.
So after 4 gruesome days, i've managed to get OSX running with some limited functionality on my PC. Problem is OSX changes the BIOS clock to match my selected regional timezone, while Windows reads it once and then compensates accordingly. Switching back and forth results in my time being advanced artificially over and over again. Evidently there is a fix for it, by setting my BIOS time to UTC time, (universal time something that starts with c) and adding a registry 32 bit DWORD :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation\RealTimeIsUniversal and setting it to 1.
This however causes linux (I have 4 operating systems now) to push my time forward, which means i have to find another solution. Annoying.
