In that case you will have no problem passing the audit. It's not like an arrest without cause or some other "if you have nothing to hide..." type of issue.
Submission + - Ask Slashdot: Is Scrum still relevant? (opensource.com)
An anonymous reader writes: In an article titled "Scrum is dead: breaking down the new open development method," Ahmad Nassri writes:
Among the most "oversold as a cure" methodologies introduced to business development teams today is Scrum, which is one of several agile approaches to software development and introduced as a way to streamline the process. Scrum has become something of an intractable method, complete with its own holy text, the Manifesto for Agile Software Development , and daily devotions (a.k.a., Scrum meetings).
Although Scrum may have made more sense when it was being developed in the early '90s, much has changed over the years. Startups and businesses have work forces spread over many countries and time zones, making sharing offices more difficult for employees. As our workforce world evolves, our software development methods should evolve, too.
What do you think? Is Scrum still a viable approach to software development, or is it time to make way for a different way of doing things?

If you read the article and watched the video you would know that the headlights do not move - they continue to do what they have always done, which is light up the road in front of you.
There are 2 additional movable spotlights that complement the headlights which would highlight additional risks for you - such as people, animals, curves on the side of the road which may not be in the path of your headlights.

It took me a few re-reads as well but I think he is saying that you are looking at a different starling/photon in the flock and not the same going back in time.

On separate occasions, I've had AT&T block both data and text messages (incoming and outgoing) on lines where I did not have data and messaging plans. All it took each time was a short phone call to their customer service.

I've seen those in the PATH tunnels in NYC about 7 years ago - they were advertising Shark Week on Discovery Channel. It's been a while since I've taken that line and do not know if they still have these "flipbook" ads.

Likewise, I have to hand-write a check for my rent every month, rather than just going online and clicking a button to transfer a pre-registered amount to a pre-determined destination account (or just setting up a completely automatic monthly transfer).
You can likely setup your landlord as a payee in your online banking, and then set a recurring monthly payment of a pre-registered amount to the pre-determined payee and the bank will print and mail the check for you. Mine does. This would seem to resolve the issues you raised.
