Just stood my ground against 10 would be bullies

[eek]

You want to be careful - they might run xp_cmdshell from a remote client, and change the time that way!

I'll let them do that. Then once they've made the change I'll get the lot binned for gross misconduct :

When MF goes the police and they ask him if has upset anyone recently he will say "well only a couple of thousand this week"

I assume everyone is out to get me and so always strike first! My kids school is now looking for another lollipop lady.

It's been 5 years and MF doesn't suspect a thing

Do you really think a 5nanosecond timeout on SQL server is best practice or just for my own fun

oh they were probably wrong but that isn't the point.

No, its important that you don't do anything immediately. As Bob Howard states, revenge is best served with a little bit of preparation, time to provide a false sense of security and then maximum vindictiveness....

This.
I wreaked my revenge on someone 10 years after the initial incident.
Was very satisfying.

[eek]

I assumed in true BOFH style you had made a pre-emptive strike (or shag).

Its important that your view shows you as pleasant & lovely despite you letting down their tyres and you giving their wife, pet sheep & Jack Russell an STD.

They want me to change the timeout on a Dev server so it no longer matches the production server configuration claiming that it would aid them in meeting an important deadline. Was continuously aggressive despite how polite everybody else was.

While it may solve their immediate issue, I have to follow best practice in live and they merely want to perform shortcuts now which will bite us later when it goes wrong in live...

Thankfully they eventually gave up and walked out f'ing and blinding.
