Would it be possible to request so many nonexistant domains to make this unprofitable? Or would they just figure you're having a seizure at your keyboard and drop your IP from the logs?
Is it something along the lines of the people using them as weapons? Doberman Pincers, Rottweilers, etc? To keep people from having two dozen guarding a building to keep the police out, or at least delay them while they destroy evidence or escape?
What is HBI? A quick search found the following unrelated and unhelpful information:
HBI Health and Biomedical Information HBI Healthcare Building Ideas (magazine) HBI Home Builders Institute HBI Home Business Institute HBI Horizontal Blanking Interval (television) HBI Hot Beef Injection (band) HBI Hot Briquetted Iron (plant or facility) HBI Hubbard Broadcasting Inc.
I once had to help a user because she had accidentally rearranged the icons on her desktop and didn't know how to do her job. She had meticulously documented her job as follows:
Step 1: Click the third icon from the top in the second column [...]
Great point. I had a team leader who griped about the quality of my code at my first job out of college. I took it pretty personally until I realized that he was just a pita who complained about the design and execution of everything everyone else wrote. Learned a good lesson that day. Thick skin, in one ear - out the other.
If you start coding from the beginning with the best possible methods, then congratulations. If you're like myself, and most of the rest of us, you're learning better ways to do things as you go. I know that I can't help but look back at older projects and think that there are better ways to do what I've done. Now I know better. Now I'll write things in a more efficient and maintainable way. I can only hope that in a few years I'll look back at the code I write this week and have an even better, cleaner, faster, and more maintainable way to do it.
At my last job, the standard response to any request was "Sure, we'll do that, when do you need it?" and it "HAD" to be done whenever the arbitrary date given was. There was no reasonable estimations of time or scheduling given. The desired end product was a moving target, changing daily. Sadly, the department that was most frequently shorted on time was QA. It took as long as it took to write, and when we handed our best (rushed) efforts to QA there simply wasn't enough time for any regression testing. After several buggy releases, patches, and fixes, upper management outsourced the new version. They were in for a shock when every minor spec change required several weeks for reevaluation and extended the delivery date, plus added thousands to the price tag. When I left there they were starting to lay the groundwork to get some actual structure and communications in place. Hope that works out for them.

You give raging lunatics a bad name.

Libel, maybe. Unless they have giant speakers under the billboard.
In other news, the White House has released a statement demanding that Antigua halt its WMD programs...
Don't give up your source and shut down, or give up your source and don't shut down. You won't be getting any more "insider tips" either way.
Did he find it?
FU.
Didn't know you could still get those.

Are you sure it was that long ago?

Etc....
Is that you, mom?
Are you following me?
Forget the delete cookies/history/temp files routine. Get Sandboxie.
Not just for browsers either.
...is a service that wipes my information out of Google. Get rid of my Tijuana pictures from Google Image Search.
"Otherwise, why not just put rapists to the death too?"
Ok.
Gnu drama.
Ask his rape victim if she's back to normal. Her life is changed forever. Why should his be any different?
"...this was not claimed in the original story submission"
Guess I was wrong. Apparently the editors actually DO something around here.
Hammer time.
