Thinking of quoting, I was looking at Bob's signature...
“Against stupidity the very gods themselves contend in vain.” - Friedrich von Schiller.
I had previously heard...
“Against boredom the gods themselves fight in vain.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
So what hope is there against someone who is both bored and stupid? 😉

Do I have to do sp_timeTravel 'Future' ??
No, Roy. You just have to guess the right parameters for DBCC TIMEWARP. 😛

[font="Verdana"]Ah, anger management...As a suggestion, go buy a collection of soft, squishy balls. Not only can you play with them as stress relievers, but you can also throw them (even at people) in moments of impassioned fury.

Or lightsabers. Lightsabers work really well. Dangerous? Maybe, but no one's ever complained to me. 😎
Them LightSabers. Where can I get one those? Do I have to do sp_timeTravel 'Future' ?? :hehe:
No, it's DBCC TIMEWARP (with the right setting of the 127 undocumented parameters) 😀

I will try to dig up the Documentation of the undocumented parameters and try to figure out the correct order even if it takes a life time...:-)

You are more than welcome to The Thread. We all started with little knowledge and we all still have people who know more than we do.
I have to ask though, have you read all 2700+ posts?
Will reading all the posts make me cool like you guys, or will it require something more invasive (like surgery)? I'm all in for reading THE THREAD if it will work. If not, I'll still lurk and hope you don't feel like it's getting too crowded around the cooler. 🙂

If you have any one of the following, you've got an instant in:
katana, claymore, crossbow, longbow, swords in general, bo, jo, staff, escrima, tonfa, just about any caliber slug-thrower, pork chop sling shot, sling, ballista, sai, trebuchet, potato gun... oh, or a pointed stick.
Any one gets you in and you get extra credit for having more than one. You get a star if your potato gun shoots further than Jeff's.

Grant, I only have a Cricket ball. But they are really tough... So an exception can be made? I am still looking for the document for the undocumented Parameters for DBCC TIMEWARP to get myself one of them LightSabers.... 😉
-Roy
March 19, 2009 at 8:24 am
I left out a few things:
Cricket bat, hockey stick, bludgeoning devices of all kinds, light sabre's, blasters, fiber optic laser beam assemblers, fiber optic laser beam disassemblers, death stars, a white star, starfury, any kind of fighting knife or bayonet, or a Klingon betleH (although we reserve the right to point & laugh at this one).

I will try to dig up the Documentation of the undocumented parameters and try to figure out the correct order even if it takes a life time...
You have to go to the future to see the documentation. This was thoroughly discussed earlier... unless.... wait..... are YOU from the future, Roy?
😛

You left out pork chops, Grant.
As I understand it, they are usuallly flung... although I suppose they COULD be used as a bludgeoning device.
The pork chop is an elegant weapon, not as clumsy or random as a pot roast.
Just over 200 posts to go....
Ka-ching!

No. The documentation never existed and never will exist.
If it existed, you could travel to the future, get the documentation and come back and tell yourself how to travel to the future to get the documentation. Since you haven't done this, the documentation must not exist.
Except that... "crossing into established events is strictly forbidden--except for cheap tricks" (to quote the Doctor).
So it might exist. :blink:

HAH! Way ahead of you, Derek 😀
It's now DBCC TIMEWARP. It takes 127 parameters, none of which are documented anywhere. Most of the parameters are for detailing your exact position in the space-time continuum and your precise momentum, both expressed in 12 dimensions.
Actually, they will be documented in the future, and if by chance you stumble upon the correct combination for the first 76 parameters, you can actually use it to go FORWARD in time and see the documentation. Of course, which alternate version of the documentation will depend entirely upon the remaining 51 parameters, the default values of which are all randomly generated. This of course makes it impossible to return to your timeline of origin, which means that the documentation viewed can never be the documentation for the version of DBCC TIMEWARP anyone is actually running. So the whole point is moot.
I understand why they felt they had to go to 12 dimensions, but it was awfully inconvenient for us since we have a lot of legacy code that relied on sp_MSGoBackInTime. But, the handwriting was on the wall when the old M-theory syntax was deprecated. So it goes.

According to various sci-fi interpretations of quantum mechanics, all possibilities that could exist, must exist. Therefore, if the documentation is possible, it is also inevitable.
Of course, that doesn't preclude the possibility that the content might be ... well ... dangerous.

Regarding weaponry:
Somewhere I used to work, we would mysteriously refer to "the debating sword", when preparing for battle with management
I think one of those would be handy in SSC, given some of the examples mentioned in this thread
