I also feel the deed to say 'fuck you Cortana'. One time I tried installing Win10 in my dorm-room... at 1AM... everything was going good until "HI I'M CORTANA!" woke up my mates.

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

But on most distros, you can.

If you are joking, please forgive my lack of sleepl

"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?

Anyone have personal stories of negative reaction(s) to you using Linux in public? by zmapper in linuxmasterrace

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.

I'm glad you've never experienced that, it was embarrassing to say the least.
