Lots of companies at VeeamOn this week were discussing how weird it is that IBM even still exists. No one knows what they do any more and a large number of newbies in the field literally don't know who they are at this point.

That's crazy to me. I don't know if it's the area I grew up in or what but I was aware of what IBM is/was when I was younger.

Yeah. Because they were still active when you were younger. We all knew them when we were young. But now to most people they are the company that "used to make computers". Even IT people rarely know what they make today.

Against illegal drugs. Caffeine is not a monitored and controlled substance. So yes, the child could have easily been anti-drug "just say no" etc and still been addicted to a legal substance (caffeine).

Have you forgotten the entire history of the FDA? I'll try to be good and leave it at that.

@travisdh1 What does the history of an agency have to do with the products consumed and sold as food.
Caffeinated drinks are not a controlled or monitored substance. The kid obviously had an issue, consumed to many and died from a bad ticker.

That's not against drugs. That's against not breaking the law. Which is totally fine, but a very different thing.
