Eastern Europe as well, and the statement was made by a company in the UK.

This is interesting, and i think it mostly revolves around making certain
things clear beforehand.
Notice that whenever you do the math based on what an employee's rate would
be, you always come up
with ridiculously low sums of money from a freelance perspective.

I think it's overall true every where.
On a side note, I'd add that in France when a company hire someone at
100 e/day (salary) it cost 200e/day to the company due to taxes. And on
the 100e, the worker has to release back some money for his own taxes,
of course.

An Expression is an operator in Softimage. When an operator's output ports

You don't need more objects, you need more parameters.
If you create an 'offset' parameter for each of the custom parameters you
already have, you can add them into your expression to give you the control you
want without having to resort to additional objects and constraints.
Basically,
I just moved the conditional to the next layer down(a null) that is driving

Hi Folks,
I am having an issue with PYQT (the awesome Steve Caron edition) in Soft 2013,
it fails to load the plugin from our network workgroup, if we go to the plugin
manager and reload it then works fine.
Has anyone had this happen as yet?

nearest i can figure is something isn't getting loaded in time when Qt asks

No, we keep nothing local, I am starting to suspect it is the latest build on
