You do know that a gallon of water...much less viscous than oil, weighs 8 lbs. So I would estimate that 1 lb of oil would be about a pint to a quart. So, yeah, if a diesel van is doing the rounds...and they get maybe 15 mpg to 20 mpg, I doubt they can move the grounds using a pound of oil. Unless the plant is right next door, it's going to take a lot more.
Is there a school in the country that doesn't have computers and internet access?
Do you really think that there's a public school somewhere that has one old 486 that the whole class crowds around to access the internet via a 1200 baud modem?
I call BULLSHIT!
Honest to God, just when you think it's over...out comes the villian who you thought was

1. I noticed that immediatly and reposted below since editing isn't allowed.
2. This is slashdot...come on now...RTFA?
And finally, a hearty fuck you to you.
They figured out how to read the EXIM data stream.
BRILLIANT!
I agree, mass internal bleeding? That is some f#cking intense low pressure...kind of like outer space
WOOOOO!
You can hardly get a clear call 5 out of 10 times, yet somehow they can track you?
If I was paranoid, I'd say that the interference is introduced by bored technicians just for fun.....to screw with us.
I can see some pimply faced CSR hitting a big red button to make a random call drop on the network and laughing with his looser friends waiting for quitting time.
OK, fine Mr. killjoy....
TWO bags!
Really, even if one bag isn't thick enough to totally block the signals, it surely diminishes it.
That they're opening the window and letting the heat out?
Maybe attaching a fan to help move the air?
Brilliant!
No offense, but I don't give a shit what snopes says. As a former teller, I know how fast things clear and even back when that was my job title, if it was from an unknown bank (think out of town) it was treated as suspicous and subject to a 10 day hold before the funds were available (save the first $100 as per the law). The check typically cleared or bounced within 3 to 5 days unless it was drawn on the US Treasury...they took forever. That was circa '90's. Things have sped up quite a bit in the past two years to where checks clear almost overnight. Well within the 3-5 days as before.
Next time you're in the bank, chat them up and ask how fast things clear these days.
Disclaimer: This applies to US banks. If you're talking about Somali banks or something...YMMV.

So....the game company isn't?
So if someone fucks with you and your livelyhood, I'm sure you'd give them a pass as well?
Except things clear much faster than a few weeks.
It will show up as bad within a few days.
I had a switch die that tied two machines together (small switch, small shop). Went to CC on a Sunday to grab a cross-over cable to tide me over until Monday when I could order a replacement from our supplier.....they wanted over $46 for a 14 footer (all they had). Yeah, f#ck that. I rolled over to BB and picked up a Netgear 5 port switch for under $30 (if I remember correctly). Incredible.
If the cableing was installed correctly (and not a retrofit situation), then there should be at least one staple somewhere holding it to the wall, eh?
