Possession is more important in football, I agree. But I'm saying I suspect the risk of a lateral pass can be much lower than generally accepted because you can almost guarantee a pass completion by doing it right. In rugby, in open

As a fan of rugby, I've often wondered why football coaches don't try some other radically different strategies. For example, why not use a lateral pass more? Usually football fans explain it by saying it's too risky. But in

Agreed. I wonder how this article jeopardises him in terms of getting arrested for this. It's basically a public confession isn't it?

Except that there are many root causes for bad communication. Why choose to fixate on a foreign accent as the only or at least largest cause?

There are many reasons for a speaker to not communicate in an understandable way : heavy accent, speech impediment, lack of articulation, inability to articulate thoughts, etc. Why focus on the cultural accent to make your point, rather th

Great idea, fantastically executed. One suggestion or request: I would love to specify from what recipe group or combination of groups each meal should be made up of. For example: Breakfast : Pick something from the cereals group, and a

My thoughts while reading the post exactly. Read Reece's Lean Startup, and he gives specific examples on how to cheaply test the waters. Reducing all that to a landing page harvesting emails is completely the opposite of what Lean Startup

It's ridiculous that even with this type of thing happening openly, no opposition party can beat the ruling ANC. We can just hope Ramphele's Agang party will know how to use this type of thing against them.

I actually hope the development company is stuck with the bandwidth bill. Should at least take a little bit off that ridiculous profit.

I've been using Swiftkey Flow Beta, and it's fantastic! You're right, Swiftkey's killer feature is the way it handles multiple languages without hassle. It is the difference between people hating touch screen keyboards and loving them. I

The unit Hz is used for frequency, per definition "per second". If "frames" are implied, surely 48Hz is acceptable?

You're right. We're an app dev company, and we're in the process of developing a medical app for a client. The FDA approval process makes it very time consuming.

We've (almost) never had the feeling of "running amok". Communication is key, and constant feedback from the client helps us to make small adjustments often. That usually keeps them from making large changes at late stages, because we are

I'll try to make the time to write up something. It's really a matter of explaining to them why our way of working ends up being faster and less expensive than the flat fee way. With our way of working, there's an assumption of trust, and

Yes we do. We charge per sprint, not a flat fee for the total project. Once we've convinced them that our way is faster and cheaper in the long run, they usually buy into it. As specially if they've been bitten by flat fee projects in th

We don't do flat fee no. We convince clients it's not a good idea for them to do flat fee, because it takes longer, and we build in a margin to cover our risk, so they usually pay more with flat fee. By making every step of the process vi

We run an Agile process where the client is involved as Product Owner in the team. The client can add stories at any stage, and set the priority in the backlog at any time. They just can't change the current sprint's stories and prioritie

Over here in South Africa, you actually go to med school for a year, and then apply for veterinary medicine. So you have to be the best of the med school applicants to get a place. Hardest course to get admission to of any.

I posted a similar comment on Reddit. We're a decent sized mobile dev house (around 20 devs), and $29 / month makes me think hard if it's really worth that money. At $290 a year it would be close to the most expensive piece of software we

We're a mobile dev house (iOS and Android), and we charge around $60-$80 / hour. www.polymorph.co.za . Sounds like we should get some US clients if $150 / hour is realistic.

Stop jumping to conclusions. Linus reacted to a troll comment that was later deleted. Something along the lines of "What, your shit don't stink?". It deserved the moron reply. Stop jumping to conclusions rather.

Why are all the answers with legal advice filled with phrases such as "this is not legal advice" and "I am not a lawyer"? Is it illegal for non lawyers to give legal advice in the US?

If they're are sure as you are that your idea is going to make it big, they have an incentive to stay rather than go work for Google or Facebook, because they have a lot to gain from something huge. If they don't, you already have a proble
