okay so our compilers professor was waiting in line for a talk at DEFCON, and some guy tries to cut in front of her.
she goes "hey buddy, end of the line is that way", and to hear it told, this guy makes a kind of |:| face, objects to being told what to do by a woman, and but goes and gets in line at the end anyway, because she does not compromise or put up with bullshit.
the people around her are horrified: "do you know who that was???"
she says: "Yeah, I know who Mitnick is, and I know he was at the wrong end of the line" and goes back to waiting for the talk to open.
