We could almost pretend it was because of the NXDOMAIN signs that got
plastered on their HQ :)

Verisign seems to have issues with returning proper response packets for DNS
queries on unused domains, so we thought we would give them a quick reminder
in case they forgot what the right answer was. 
You can find pictures here ( http://irc.sh.nu/download/ )
(This was on their building in Mountain View, and the signs said
'Verisign/Netsol, as if people didn't hate you enough already... How
greedy/stupid are you? [Made with figlet/vim/a2ps/poster.c] )
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I thought it was hilarious :)
