I would want to see a copy of the script before I performed one take of the movie. I just assumed any actor or actress would do the same.

The only scenario for which I could feel sympathy for Ms. Garcia would be if the script was radically changed during the course of filming to the point where it was completely different. Even then, my sympathy is limited because I would personally insist in having a clause in the contract to terminate early when big script changes occur.

USB might like to have a word with you.

It was. Early versions of NT still had OS/2 error messages in it.

Then you put in a request for new equipment, and explain that it will make them far more in increased productivity from you than it costs. A $2k upgrade only needs to increase your productivity by $1/hour to return the investment in the first year. That's usually a no-brainer expense.

I care little that some stranger I've never seen before happens to notice that I leave a bar. I do care when I realize that someone is following me everywhere I go.

Perhaps, but the bricklayer doesn't have to worry about gravity suddenly reversing.

And even if the stars align and you manage to get an all-star team, the product can *still* suffer bugs due to resource issues, like management shortening a deadline without input from the team, poor or non-existent testing environments, or poor equipment and tools.

It's less about being politically correct than it is about the amount that was laundered. If there were six more zeroes at the end of the sum, the guy would have gotten off with a warning.

Now there's no uncertainty. In the UK, you can't be fair and open with your doctor. By doing so, you are also being open with any government agent who decides to take an interest, even if only for personal and nefarious reasons.

Unfortunately, the bill neither defines what "publicly available" means insofar as remaining compliant with the law, nor does it provide any mechanism to do so. This is an important point, because in the past, we have seen attempts to sap resources from labs producing unwanted results by flooding them with requests for their data.

Before we can laud the law for good intentions, it needs to provide a mechanism to define what it means by making data available and ease the burden of disclosure.

Why do you hate America? It needs to use corn syrup.

Not that I necessarily disagree with your conclusion, but...

What do costs look like in Utah versus California? If you were to convert costs and salaries to Utah dollars, would teachers in Utah and California have similar standards of living? How about building costs, utilities, busing, school food, textbooks, etc.? Do both states employ comparable numbers of multilingual teachers?

The people who bear shame are those who voted Republican *or* Democrat in any national election.

Also: there's a large group of people constantly looking for and exploiting holes, and sometimes holes are intentionally added.
