Researchers hope the adaptation of a humble household item could be a new weapon for battling weeds that cost Australia $4 billion each year.
Microwaves mounted on a trailer have proven to reduce weed emergence and improve grain yields.
The technology has been 11 years in the making for Melbourne University senior lecturer Graham Brodie.
"We are using microwave heating to cook plants and seeds that are in the soil, and that gives us an edge over some of the herbicide-resistant weeds emerging nowadays," Dr Brodie said.
I like that idea. Why not microwave the weeds in the ground. I think you are on to something here, mind if I ask Trumbull for a research grant? I bet someone has a patent on it already.
Keep me informed... this is my chosen method outa this planet. Maybe with a few Es first. I don't want the feet going black or years of pain I've seen friends and family suffer.
I've been using the Nightly FF for years... There was some issues when they first implemented separate browser processes per tab but generally it's been far better than a Microsoft program or OS. And bug tracking is open and fully exposes the developers and those using the software to a true sense of equality of information. The only down side currently is changes to the plugin structure which will take some time for plugin developers to catch up.
Perhaps not great for you mother but a good opportunity to participate in development and test for the rest of us.
Facebook might just be too lazy to find the said posts but they certainly have an army of pro-Israel moderators that will delete whole accounts that are reported to them. And I'm not talking about incitement to violence but for the most petty excuses. To suggest that Facebook don't act as the thought police is really quite deceptive.
We care about holocaust denial because we seek to not see fascism directed at the Jewish community. Yet when we see fascism directed by the Jewish community at Palestinians we are near blind. Which is most likely to cause future issues for Jews? Holocaust denial or shooting the crap out of Palestinians, locking up Palestinian children in jail, bulldozing homes of Palestinians, building an illegal nuclear program in Israel... if we are concerned about what has an impact on Jews then we should be far more concerned about the rising tide of fascism in Israel than some minor group of fools engaged in holocaust denial.
Seems to me that social media and political issues are less of an problem than trash advertising for misinformation on health products. And the major media are sticking those trash advertisers on their pages seeking revenue without any consideration of the ethics of the products being presented.
Gaza flotilla video mashup: Internet Killed Israeli PR The following content has been identified by the YouTube community as being potentially inappropriate. Viewer discretion is advised.
Nothing comes close to the Zionists bad behavior on Facebook. I've seen them...
Attack a Muslim girl and joke about sticking an icepole into her private parts for days using the most 'colorful language'. Abuse on mass Stephen William Hawking for taking a stand on the academic boycott. Take what they learned about people going to Palestine to ensure they get the gloved hand shoved up them at BG airport. In the case of Mohammed Abu Khdeir the 16 yo that the settlers poured petrol down his throat and set on fire, they claimed he was a "gay prostitute that was burned by his family". When the attack on the flotilla occurred they edited video (baddly) to change the narrative in their favor. When the American International School in Gaza that the international community built to give hope to people at a cost of $1.4 million was bombed to dust for no reason they claimed it was a weapons store. Abused holocaust survivors like Hepy Epstein who recently pass away after a lifetime of fighting for justice on many fronts Created a fake gay boy who made claims he was banned from being on the flotilla.
I've been following Palestinians on Facebook since 2006. Everyone I know who has been on the side of the Palestinian has burned at least 3 Facebook accounts so far. Those turds created a fake me then used that account to abuse my Palestinian friends. When I complained to Facebook, Facebook deleted my account and left the imposter in place for 2 months.
It's not limited to Facebook. When Greta Berlin published the her story of the early Gaza flotillas that did make it, 30 Zionists wrote one star abusive reviews on a book they didn't read on Amazon. That was a result of what was intended to be a mutual shared space on Facebook.
What the Zionist behaviors have done is create a situation where neither Palestinians or their friends will have them in our groups. And to protect our Facebook accounts we have block all contact with Zionists.
They have redefined antisemite to "anyone who objects to the brutalization of people in Palestine". Even the Jewish Voice of Peace have been called antisemites.
The Zionists are in lar lar land. If they keep pushing people then the result will be an open source distributed version of social media. Something like a series of connected but independent drupalish network that is immune to their power plays. What the Zionist have done is a service to the Palestinian community on Facebook. They have increased the resolve of people to see their fascist state removed from the world map.
But we always treat them with good humor. In fact we are laughing our arses off.
This one is a classic... https://youtu.be/ME_NpnH7jDc
What has been created in the Palestinian social media space is an international training ground for all activists. All we need to do now is end the conflict and release those that have been participating for 10+years onto other issues of human rights abuse. The Zionists have created experts within the opposing side in social media engagement. They have done the world a great service. We just need the fascism to end so it can be deployed against other abusers.
If you can solve the issues of 67 years of oppression in Palestine you can solve any issue.
Aside... I have to say that it has been a long time coming to have this discussion on Slashdot. Now that this discussion has started those Zionist abusenauts will be further exposed not by what I say but by their own actions.
Dog-cow you are full of bull! Some of these "Arabs" live in the houses that their family built in 800AD that's 5 times longer that the history of British colonialism in Australia. They have a deep sense of ownership. Why the hell should Palestinians with a long family history, likely going back 1,000s of years before Christ pack up and go because Jews want their homes and land.
On the other hand the Zionist have a fairy story which they manipulate to brainwash themselves to deal with the cognitive dissonance of 67 years of criminal activity.
The Palestinians have no intention of giving up one inch more! If necessary they will overpopulate the land to drive out the Zionist oppressors. The Zionists are now and have been from day one in breach of international law. They survive in their delusion only through the work of the Zionists lobby groups in western democracies that engage in buying political favor through donations to political parties, Christian Zionists, arms dealing and basic blackmail where reasonable people are labelled antisemitic.
Sorry but the clock is ticking and Israel's crimes are becoming widely known. There will be a state called Palestine but it is risibly fallacious to assume that the proclaimed "Jewish" state is going anywhere but the International Criminal Court.
I wonder if the aliens will claim they are chosen by God? Will they even believe in God? Will they have a Mork and Mindy at the centre of their creation myth?
Yea I works you just put everything in the taskbar. At least the taskbar now works in a mode suitable for 2 screens. I've been using it for months. Very stable. But the tiles... BRING ME A BUCKET! ugly, unwanted, uncalled for, uninteresting, uninviting, unwelcome, unwarranted... it made it easy for me to chose what to get for a new mobile, unmicrosoft.
Great they will be able to make a neutron gun to fire on Palestinians from space. Use that old reactor that does nothing put produce plutonium and is still running 20 years past its useby date and was built using stolen technology. Perhaps find a god partial and claim ownership based on an existing patent on god. Wouldn't it have been better to BDS the god particle?

Slashdot Mirror
We wish Adobe would die! That's not going to happen, risibly fallacious to say so.
Better would be for Adobe to release all software for Linux. That would cause a chain reactions that would near kill Microsoft.
What surprises me is that anyone that would vote for Trump is a SlashDot user. I thought we had them all contained in Twitter.
"This year is the first time the level of the unemployed exceeded the jobs available since the BLS started tracking JOLTS numbers in 2000."
Is that not the opposite of the heading?

Shock and Awe! A Zionist in going through comments making anything that is pro peace and resolution after 67 years of truly criminal behavior "Troll".
New headline... "Israel's IDF social media team, PAID to patrol the internet, invade Slash Dot".
See their 'good work' on youtube...

How did you get a website done so cheaply? Did your son do it?
No mate it was San Quentin Design Inc.
Seriously, do you really want a bunch of criminals with mood issues doing programming? I guess they will be perfect staff for Facebook!
Looks like a perfect donation to Green Peace. "The WiFi Worrier", with a dog called "Ann-Droid"
with... poor Nokia they are SCREWED!

Maybe if KB2542054 ever finishes its update I might be able to look! World's biggest software company, world's most screwed up updates.
"while they then make millions off of you"
Good luck with that one. I've been trying to make millions off me for years.
Yes but don't expect it to run in any version of IE.
