Was ill for a week, miss anything of import?
MS announced that SQL Server 2012R2 will be released in late 2014 and will officially support both DBCC TIMEWARP and a new trace flag that will automatically apply the NOLOCK hint to all queries so developers no longer need to hard-code it into their queries to make them run faster.

Even knowing this was fake, I still just about threw up.

All we need is an actual Go Faster flag for the database, and everything will be FINE.

Funny thing is, they really do (did?) exist.

Some of us will remember advertisements for "overclocking" kits for 80286-based computers (basically a new crystal to run 25% or whatever faster). For the adventurous types, you may end up with the need for liquid nitrogen cooling if you speed up your system enough.
