Hi Ya'
Well, that's what I mean. If I hated someone enough, when I know they are
leaving, say on vacation... I could request their domain to be transferred
away from SRS and cause them some grief.
i,e,:
I go to NIS
Say, "Hay, transfer my domain from open SRS to you."
Pay them $35 bucks or what ever for a year...
The transfer takes place because he didn't cancel it... Why? He wasn't
checking e-mail because he put all his misery behind him for a week and
tools around the beach with some young sexy blond in Cancun, Mexico.
Next thing you know, the guy I hate so much comes home as much as he hates
to and goes to make a DNS change and much to his surprise, he finds out his
account at SRS doesn't work anymore.. He asks around, looks at a who-is and
sees, "NIS" He panics!
He calls either SRS or NIS and finds out what happens....
What does he do next? I would say fight with NIS a while to send it back,
but he eventually gives up and stays their....
Meanwhile, back at the Bat cave... The prick that done it is laughing
hysterically because he has always wanted to get this guy back for a old gag
he pulled back in the 60's
Like I said, it's kind of far fetched and may not happen often, but if it
did, it would be simple to do!
Maybe I should give this up and write books...
