Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Yes, but you'll have to wait for Gail's Blog post on DBCC TimeWarp to make certain you get all 137 non-optional parameters correct.

    btw, as an aside, in case anyone's wondering why 137...

    The fine structure constant, a constant that is central to the theory of QED (quantum electrodynamics) has a value very close to 1/137

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine_structure_constant

    137 and 42 are values that I tend to use when making stuff like this up

    Alvin,

    Do you need a vacation?

    I'm not going to answer that for fear that I might incriminate myself.

    Anybody notice that the Thread has surpassed 11,000 posts?

    Can we go back and watch it again?

    Sure, let's load up the DELLorian.

    Better yet, can we go back and erase this thread? :w00t:

    What would I do in my free time... :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:

    Though I have not been able to participate in the thread in the last month or so (been busy at work and my wife was sick for couple of weeks), I still follow it daily....

    Bye the way.. Hello Everyone !!!

  • We'd know if The Thread was deleted because the SSC servers would be down because the forum database would be locked while the delete took place.

    Makes sense.

    Don't worry about the Thread being deleted by accident. All Steve would have to do is take a backup then restore the Thread from that backup. 😀

  • LOL, we may not have the best database design, but I'd like to think my brand new servers would manage the delete before you were aware.

    However I have the feeling that despite a delete, THE THREAD would not die.

    Why is it that when you ask someone to SHOW you want they are trying to do they never do?

  • I am sending a rock to St. Lynn, who can cast the first stone at Alvin, before a Threadinator is sent from the near future.

    Careful about casting stones. You still going to be our March presenter? I hope nobody brings anything to throw. hehehe

    If the Thread died, it wouldn't be long before we would have the Son of The Thread.
