I'm having trouble understanding how grain that is fit for human consumption isn't good enough to feed cattle, many of which spend most of their days out in the fields eating grass off the ground.

Depth of Field isn't an all or nothing thing. Thegoal is being able to control it so you can create the image you want. Love a picture that's sharp corner to corner? Great! Want a picture that emphasizes the subject and blurs the background or vignettes the corners? That's great too!

This being slashdot, I think it's appropriate to discuss the technical aspects of photographic lenses. You might even learn something by reading it with an open mind.

They wouldn't want to offend Russia, because Russia would stop the flow of gas they're siphoning off.

The incentives are in the form of tax breaks. A big data center like this will still generate some tax dollars and add to the local economy - enough to cover the additional expenses. The rest is just funny money, tax revenues they wouldn't have collected without the project, so no loss.

To paraphrase:

IF you can easily find a serious security hole AND IF there are a very large number of other serious security holes AND IF there are also a very large number of less serious security holes, THEN there's no point in offering a bounty because the number of less serious security holes plus the number of more serious security holes is so large you'll never fix them all.

Yes that's true. But it doesn't take a page long monolog to say it.

However, IF your bounty turns up a security hole like Heartbleed THEN the bounty was money well spent.

Actually it's a guerrilla marketing/propaganda campaign to make people accept GMO crops.

It wasn't clear that the seeds escaped. As I recall he had purchased roundup ready seeds in previous years, then suddenly "discovered" that the seed he saved carried the gene. That's how all the cases I've seen have turned out (initial claim that it was wind blown from a neighbor, then admission of guilt), although this might be referring to a special case.

When it was spun off, the value of Palm was something like $16B more than the value of the parent company before the split. Of course we all know how well that worked out.

In Philadelphia the have "roving pothole repair crews". A GPS tracking device on the potholes would seem appropriate there as well.

Every bug fixed raises the bar slightly. Although I suppose if you're pretty sure there are infinitely many security holes in your code that are all roughly equally easy to find then you shouldn't bother fixing them - you should get another job.
