They are no tilling, and spraying herbicide to kill the weeds among the roundup ready corn, which is generally tolerant.

But aside from jumping on my use of the "big doses" perhaps you can proofread this page and let me know what is incorrect.

But to your question of what they can do......

One of the interesting methods of killing weeds among crops is being developed by the USDA, and it sounds crazy, but works.

Oragnic farmers have a real problem with weed control, as you might imagine.

So some USDA researchers have found a weird but very effective way to "weed" without any chemicals.

They blast the bastards with fertilizers or soil conditioners.

Depending on the grit used in the blaster, it also acts as fertilizer, Or if you live in an acidic soil area, you can use a soil conditioner like limestone. It's an interesting read, and while at this time expensive- ~100 dollars an acre, there are a lot of offsets when a fertilizer or soil conditioner which will be applied anyhow. Just with more vigor. They are working on automating the process as we write. Not a perfect solution, but then again, neither is eating herbicide.

Not many plants can develop resistance to being sandblasted. I couldn't say this is the wave of the future, but it was sort of a headpalm moment for a lot of people, myself included.

It is nothing short of amazing the backpedaling they will do to try to deny their outlook.

Stealth. These are the people who vote for candiidates that make some outlandish racist comment, then retract it. But they know who has their back.

And yet, the people I know who fly it invariably hate those damn N....'s, they want ot secede from the union, and if you catch them in an unguarded moment, or commiserate with them, will have all the racist litmus tests passed.

Spare me that bullshit. People fly the second place finisher flag in the great war of northern agression for the same reason skinheads fly Nazi flags - it is what they believe in.

Why don't we have a rematch?

You have some research to do in biology. GMO genes do have a bit of a tendency to spread out. Nature and all.Eventually it will be a bit difficult to avoid the altered genes.

Then comes the question of who owns the now altered plant.

I'm pro GMO by the way, just wanted to make a little correction.

The Monsanto donnybrook muddies the waters of GMO, because their particular version is not per se to increase yields, but to have plants that resist Roundup get big doses of Roundup to kill other plants. That's arguably an irresponsible use of GMO. Certainly it makes Roundup a short lived herbicide, as plants develop resistance to it. And they will.

But plants with increased nutrition, resistance to diseases, with more energy put into seed or fruit production than stalks or other inedible parts simply makes sense.

We also have to encourage "heirloom" crop growing in order to have as much genetic stock as possible. Everyone can win at this game. As long as they aren't asshats about it.

Insensitive clods.

I wouldn't doubt it. Tofu, as un-natural as the vegans who love it, is made by grinding soybeans, then cooking with a coagulant of either Magnesium Chloride, or Calcium Sulfate - aka Gypsum - the stuff the drywall sheets in your house is made of, or Magnesium Sulfate, AKA Epsom Salts, the chemical used to soak sore joints and a rapid and rather violent laxative .Either way, a veritable organic feast.

Yumm yum eat it all up!

Thanks, but I'll just have a pack of crackers.

How long have you known about Yahoo's deal with Oracle. Forever? Or is this recent? If it's recent, it is news by definition.

But more likely, you just consider that you are above accidentally installing a toolbar. That's good, but not everyone is. I've had computers to "fix" when people couldn't access their "Facebook" (their name for the entire internet and their browser). Fire up IE, and the screen is toolbars from top to bottom.

In an effort to help them, it's really nice to know where they got the problem from. So you can help them avoid calling you back in 6 months with a similar problem. Tell them what to look out for.

See how that works? Recent happening, and helps some of us do our work. News.

Pipe down, and eat your tofurky.

I mean how else we gonna celebrate our second place finish in the great war of northern aggression?

But they aren't are they? It's a little silly to point out how safe this can be as proof abounds that it isn't. "Others" are not the ones designing these things.

Best way to make an internet of Things automobile safe is to remove the battery.
