Corrupt-A-Wish Season X

Everyone put down there guns, knives, bombs, snowballs and nunchuks. For 200 years we were like hippies stopping to smell lilies. Then the aliens came and we were too busy with our vegan practices to defend ourselves from the massacres (Bloody well hope not :p)

I wish there was some legal thing where the UN sued Microsoft, made it open source and after ten years of open source forking turmoil the OS distros were cut down to like 2 or 3 different competing (But friendly competition, just enough so they are all on their toes and working hard to produce the best possible OS) versions of "Open Windows" which were cross compliant.

...but then the 2.0 menu was out 2 days after John made that fix and it was incompatible with both 1.1 and 1.5 themes, making your effort useless.

I wish I already started porting my themes to PAM 1.5 and 2.0.

...but John re-licensed PAP so it was closed source and SUPER DUPER REALLY EXPENSIVE! It also had some DRM (digital rights manager) that made the FBI knock your door if you pirated it or used it in more than 3 different computers (even tough it was made to use in multiple computers).

I wish double posts were impossible according to quantum physics.

You bought the hottest piece of machinery on the market only to find your brand spanking new top of the line pc was manufactured dodgy and wouldn't even turn on. When you went to call up for a replacement you discover the company who built it had gone bankrupt already! and couldn't help you.

I wish some of you guys would have a go at The "T: in John T Haller game I thought up in the OT forum.

You aren't tired, you are having a mental breakdown!

I wish there was no such thing as homeworks.

Your brain is restored to it's previous condition. However sergentsiler snapped after his pc exploded and took his frustration out on you with the charred remains of his keyboard.

I wish John won the lottery so he could hire a team of developers to work on PortableApps.com full time Canonical style.

...but it was always down, had problems every 5 minutes and the fixing fee was twice as you payed monthly before. Plus it only allowed http traffic, so no torrents, no streams, no ftp, no messenger, no safe https connection, no nothing!

I wish my Internet connection was DSL instead of cable.

All the spammers decided to group together for a viral attack o PA.com which took down the site permanently, infected every file in the sourceforge pages and mashed the servers of everyone doing their own hosting on the site. Also the attackers got a hold of the PA users database and spammed every user and distributed the addresses among the spammer community

I wish I knew C++

... you knew that C++ (read as "C Plus Plus") is a general-purpose programming language. It is regarded as a middle-level language, as it comprises a combination of both high-level and low-level language features. It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup starting in 1979 at Bell Labs as an enhancement to the C programming language and originally named "C with Classes". It was renamed to C++ in 1983.
(taken from wikipedia)

I wish I knew how to program in C++.

We're still doing this? I though it was told to move?

But in order to produce the gas, you had to eat baked beans 24/7 and hook up a gas collection system to your butt.

I wish I psychically knew when all the Portable Apps would be released so I didn't ever again need to read "It'll be done when it's done".

But everybody in that channel went to jail because there were under-aged kids in there (oh, and also because the themes you talked in there were so gruesome, disgusting and illegal that when probing the channel for illegalities the FBI agents puked 13 times in 10 minutes).

I wish the new Chrome OS by Google is OpenSource and kicks Windows out of the market!

The chips are made of humans and have poison, so they can kill the human eating them to make more chips.

I wish I knew why is Mir eating chips made of humans

Wish granted, but the man died from a heart attack upon finding out how bad mucus was for you and his results were lost.

I wish that people would stop mispronouncing my username

But before you could slaughter the defenseless little piglet and roast him, the unnaturally intelligent spider named Charlotte wrote "Some Pig" and "Humble" in her web above his stall, and you were too guilt-ridden to do the deed, so you had a tofu, lettuce and tomato sandwich instead.

I wish the PA Platform was set up to use extensions like Firefox, so we wouldn't have to put so much pressure on JTH to code in new functionality.

...but the extensions platform was horribly limited, incredibly hard to code in, and incredibly heavy on the Platform. This caused the Platform to become sluggish, and nobody wrote extensions due to how complicated it was.

I wish I had total control over the HTML/CSS code used to display all webpages, so I could make the entire Internet a semantic place.

You got a job at General Mills making Cheerios, and you got so good at it, you eventually made perfect o's

I wish I could figure out what the heck happened to the admin interface of my Joomal Site.

...it blew up.

I wish I gave some quality uses to my free time to learn a programing language or an instrument, for example.

But you started out so badly at the clarinet, that your noise killed 15 people, and deafened 50 more. You were charged for murder, assault, disturbing the public peace, and malpractice.
I wish that somebody would rename this thread "Corrupt a Wish--The Final Season!"

Everybody used Netscape 1, that has a great and complete interpretation of HTML 1 (I suppose ) specs. That means no cool websites like this, because not even the ancient flawed ways of displaying style weren't available.

I wish everybody used the latest version of a decent rendering engine, with support for the entire latest versions of (x)HTML/CSS/JavaScript specs.

Wish Granted!

But you could only connect to SchooLirc, all assignments, all the time!

I wish I could have a pony (well . . not really)

But Tim Clark came like a bat out of hell and deleted within nano seconds of it being put up

I wish Bruce Lee was still alive

Wish Granted but then the site went down... for good.

I wish people would stop using the "reply" button YAY! (DON'T ANYBODY DARE CORRUPT THIS WISH!!!!)

But everyone kept using Season 9 anyway

I wish Obama would release evidence demonstrating that the Bush administration deliberately lied to the world to justify invading Iraq. Also that the US and rest of the world's people reacted to the news positively giving America back some of its lost moral leadership.

Wish Granted! But then it turned out that Bush actually knew what he was doing and prevented NewYork from being nuked.

I wish for server in my house.

...but you didn't have http or https access from school

I wish I could afford a .com host (.pt would be fine too (for those who don't know, .pt is the portuguese domain (nested parenthesis FTW!))).

Your wish breaks Corrupt A Wish. Little did you or anyone else know that corrupt a wish was the conduit through which the gods sent their energies to the universe in the form of its participants imaginations. With the energy source cut off the world slowly dies. The universe begins to retract and eventually there is nothing but void and the gods shaking their heads in despair. After aeons of nothingness the gods hatch a plan to revive the world. They re-initiate Corrupt-A-Wish. The Earth is reborn. All that once was is again. The entire history of man is relived in an instant. The only difference is the delivery of this message warning of what has happened. There is only one chance. Mir must corrupt his own wish.

I wish Mir makes the right choice.

...but Bawls® sued you for getting the illicit copies "Bawls(r)" and you had to sell all your Balws® and Bawls(r) to pay the lawsuit and the damages penalties, so you ended having no Bawls® or Bawls(r).

I wish for a ceramic tile.

It broke :P.
I wish I had $8000, with no strings attached, and I didn't lose it.
BTW, I want to make Corrupt-A-Wish Season X.

... but the money devalued sooo much that 10 000$ could only afford a gum.
... and John and Tim and all admins locked Corrupt a Wish X (that was already made by other person but didn't catch up) and banned you for life because they were sick of OT getting filled with Corrupt a Wish threads.

I wish I had a plastic ceramic looking tile.

I wish that daBomb69 knew the rules and had made a wish.

... but your wish wished a lot of wishes that illegally wished the wishing of wishes wishing the wishes wished, so you got in jail.

I wish for a brick.

But the wish granter took you literally and female deer all over the world started rolling around on the ground and it did not help John or PA.c at all.

ergo:

I wish all the folks who have made a similar wish would actually send money themselves to support PortableApps.com

Hey, maybe it'll come true then global warming goes a bit further...
I wish for a wish that I can wish without a wish that is a wish.
