ibm patents real crap.
at the same time, ibm scares the hell out of me more than anything else. i said a while back, one of their patents could be used for drug deal finding.... im looking for a better pain medication than vicoden 7.5/750 (the 750mg acedamediphen is what will kill your liver, good luck getting a replacement because if you take enough to kill it, they see you as an addict, im looking for something without out a built in kill switch) now if i go online and ask about the stronger (yet less dangerous) drugs, such as oxycontin, i have a somewhat legitimate fear of of being raided by the atf for it.
