So it seems from the article when she was told by the store manager on *Friday* to leave she understood that. Yet when she is asked by the manager on *Monday* to leave the store all of a sudden she doesn't understand english ? Pah-leese.

I hate this culture of victim-hood where instead of owing up to doing something wrong the wrong-doer becomes the focus of grievence theater and every *else* is to blame.

And yeah, unless there is a Lexus parked outside or a mortgage banker waiting for a down payment (assuming it was legal to search her purse and ask) I would be very curious to know what she was doing with 16k in her purse on a plain old monday morning when she had bought phones *online*

The programmer, Sergey Aleynikov, was convicted in December of stealing proprietary code, which generated some $300 million dollars for Goldman in 2009 by executing ultra-fast trades using computer algorithms that catch tiny price discrepancies in stock prices.

What is it about the self esteem generation that makes kids so stupid ?!?

Alternatively, "Ballmer's lack of reply is most likely due to the fact when he clicked on the reply button he got a message like 'you must upgrade to IE7 to reply to this message'"

of course if he said the OL crashed or that he had to stick in his original office cd to install the reply function i would believe that too.
