2300 UTC. 

So that leaves 13 hours to spam VeriSign's data mining basis
with meaningless requests like 

  while (1) {
    ($v, $w) = two_random_words_from("/usr/share/dict/words");
    system("lynx -source http://$v.$w.net > /dev/null 2>&1");
    # or
    $u = some_url();
    insert_random_typo($u);
    $u =~ s/\.[a-z]*$/.net/;
    system("lynx -source $u > /dev/null 2>&1");
 }

 # or the like 

;)

Cheers,
Wolf
