FPGA are the devils work, burn the heretic! Nah, but they are awkward to work on as pretty much every manufacture has there own way of 'doing it' you can have Altera (which I have worked on) that gets used in video systems or TI's which get used in data collection and find someone who has used one tries to use it an area where it hasn't really been used before (Some genius contractor used a TI device in a video system) and while it works on paper it's not ideal. So alot of the contracts in this area tend to be with companies that have solution A and are trying to use it for problem B and don't like being told "it's not really feasable, with out a lot of work"...I want to work at the development side of things and not have to deal with the whole we have X we want it to do Y, I want to build X...

Well some people say that about JavaScript.. the Devil's not so bad, at least he has a sense of humour unlike the other guy! 
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Go forth and multiply - but not in those words.
You want to build malicious software - we don't do that. We do not condone, support, or assist in the production of malicious code in any way, form, or manner. This is a professional site for professional developers.
If you want to know how to create such things, you need to visit a hacking site: but be sure to disable all firewalls and antivirus products first or they won't trust you enough to tell you.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Isn't destroying the OP's computer a little harsh?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I'm hoping they get his bank account at the same time!
It's got to be worth a try.
Perhaps then he'll understand what idiots like him do to other people.

That must have reminded the lion of the 2008's housing bubble burst. An appropriate reaction to that would be to become scared and flinch. Bonus points for running away.

He is too violent: I cannot love him.
«When I consider my brief span of life, swallowed up in an eternity before and after, the little space I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, now rather than then.» Blaise Pascal

I've spent hours, spread over days, on some #$&#$!*@!^#!* issue with Selenium and Protractor.
I had a test that sometimes worked fine (mostly the first two or three times) and most of the times didn't.
Searching, rewriting, waiting, logging, nothing seemed to help... I already found the server looped infinitely trying to get an element on my page.
And just now, I noticed the server always started looping at the same spot (which was pretty hard to see and remember sometimes it didn't loop at all and everything just worked).
So I fetch an element, click a button which removes the element from the DOM and then wait for the element to be removed from the DOM.
I guess sometimes the element removing would be a bit slower and the waiting occurred before the removal (it's all JavaScript multithreading/callbacks/promises, yuk...).
However, when the element would be gone before the waiting commenced the waiting would try to fetch the element to get it's status, couldn't find it, tried to find it again, couldn't find it, tried to find it again...
Fixed by just waiting a second.
So glad I've FINALLY found that issue!
Time to celebrate

DOM == Destruction of Sanity
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Shouldn't that be "Definition of Madness"?

Coincidentally, "Dom" is also the Dutch word for "Dumb"

So your "wait to see if the element is removed" would loop forever because it couldn't find the element if the element was already removed?
That is just too weird.
But congrats on finding the problem!
