Sleep function question

[WimpieWindhoos 0]

Hello everyone,

I'm using AutoIt for a few years now and I like the simplicity. But I've a question about the 'Sleep' function. I want to use a negative value by sleep, for example Sleep(-60000). I want to do that to make a time machine from my computer.

I don't know if I should do that because I suppose it will destroy the earth.

Does anybody know whether it's safe or not?

Thanks in advance,

Of course it's safe. Earth is like a rock.

Sleep() doesn't change the time so asking if it's safe to use for time-traveling purposes doesn't really make sense.

_Date_Time_SetSystemTime on the other hand....

Thank you guys for your reply. It didn't do what I wanted, but thanks again for your reply.

I have tried and failed many times so perhaps you can succeed.

WOW! What happened?

My cat keeps staring at me like something is wrong, what the hell?

Whoa. Déjà vu.

A black cat went past us, and then another that looked just like it.

your sanity depends on whether you took the red pill. I am still having problems getting Sleep() to work with negative integers. The time/space thing is not computable by todays silicone transistor technology. Perhaps jelly fried tidbits may work better.

Shoot her or something.

After you shot the cat you can use Sleep(negative value) again and shoot it again. And again. And again. And again. And so on.

Edit: I think it's better to move this story to the Chat section

After the fourth time, my computer crashed, and now I can't go back in time, and it's dead (yes, completely dead), so I've just buried it. Goodbye, sweet cat

My computer is still alive!!!! Maybe your cat in a few minutes also!!

Cat: Help me, I'm buried alive!!

My cat hates to be dead.

Would you people stop using negative sleep, please? I had to eat that leftover meatloaf four times already!!!
