I'm not so sure about that. One of the reasons that drug companies put acetaminophen in things like hydrocodone and dextropropoxyphene in the first place is because they make it more difficult (ironically) to overdose on or use recreationally. If you try and just down 12 vicodin at once, all of the acetaminophen in it is going to make you pretty sick, so you have to jump through quite a few hoops (like using a cold water extraction) if you want to get the good stuff out without having to deal with the acetaminophen.

Ontario Court Wrong About IP Addresses, Too 258

Frequent Slashdot contributor Bennett Haselton comments on a breaking news story out of the Canadian courts: "An Ontario Superior Court Justice has ruled that Canadian police can obtain the identities of Internet users without a warrant, writing that there is 'no reasonable expectation of privacy' for a user's online identity, and drawing the analogy that 'One's name and address or the name and address of your spouse are not biographical information one expects would be kept private from the state.' But why in the world is it valid to compare an IP address with a street address in the phone book?" Read on for Bennett's analysis.
