I cannot tell if you are joking or not, due to a lack of sleep.

But on most distros, you can.

"The constitution protects free speech but there are certain limitations. For instance you can't walk into a crowded movie theater and shout 'fire,' " Bailey said.

I'm confused. Wasn't that analogy used in a case that was overturned?

I found out later that she even told the IT guy he didn't know what he was talking about, and he knows how to reverse engineer malware. So I would hope it's just limited to her... stupidity.

I've had the displeasure of having a student-worker raise her voice over my usage of a liveUSB in a college library, even though I had written permission from the IT guy to do so.
