Perhaps, but they would no longer have an incentive to kill people as they were going about it. That's really what we'd like to end. If they had a public presence (which they'd need if they were going to compete in a world of legal weed),th

I liked the idea behind http://twi.bz/ , which at least shows the domain name behind the link. It doesn't make for quite as short links as tr.im &c though.

Sounds overblown. Carbapenems ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbapenem ) are beta-lactam antibiotics that are resistant to all [previously] known beta-lactamases. This seems to be a newer beta-lactamase, but that certainly wouldn't confer
