Like Demons, they seem to be easier to kill once you know their name. :-)

Looks like Purslane from here. In my book, they aren't weeds,
they're salad greens. The oxalis is a biting little thing that
brightens up a salad - especially if you're Irish.
The purslane is good raw or cooked. When cooked it acts like okra and
adds that gooey texture.
Search for purslane recipe and you'll find hundreds of ways to eat
this one.

You can also treat your lawn with corn meal - it inhibits broadleaf
germination.
But I agree with Jim. We're omnivores - if you want to get rid of
something, eat it.
You know that pigeon problem we have in cities all over? Well, I was
in Egypt recently and saw some of these structures: http://www.jpgmag.com/=

Or smoke it. The police will come and pull it all up.
