Wish granted but since it was oss, people just modded it to there will and since microsoft changed all of there software to oss the made no profit and died.
i wish patrickpaitience would lighten up on me in the irc.
Zoop
but Ryan started pouncing you. (Don't worry, he does it to me too :P.)
I wish Gatorade could be heated into popcorn (Probably in a parallel universe).

Wish granted but it turned out to be of a health risk that it was banned
I wish I had more free time to do my personal projects
your friendly neighbourhood moderator Zach Thibeau
...but then you didn't have the imagination or skills to do your personal projects }:-)
I wish I knew what broke the layout of the previous Corrupt a Wish Tread.
Blue is everything.
but I wish I knew which thread you were talking about. (*oooh* a wish and a corruption at the same time!
)
[I cant see anything wrong with season four, and the season 3 thread got messed up when everyone replied until the posts were too small to read, and then Steve Lamerton came and told us to make new posts and not reply, after he (i think) edited the page to make it wider so the posts could be viewed.)(There. Does that answer your wish?)
wish granted, but it didn't help the other guy.
I wish I knew how to figure out which psu to order for my comp
Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Too many bridges you can burn
Too many tables you can't turn
Don't wanna live my life in the real world
but then you ordered the right one and it was defective so you had to wing it and order something else anyway.
I wish Hell would freeze over.
but them heaven turned to fire! (Uh oh!)
i wish i knew what version of delphi john used to code the PAM. (Just curious since i am going to start programming apps like the PAM and other stuff)
Zoop
To compile the menu you need turbo delphi but then your computer fried
I wish I had a new laptop
[I wish that Drupal module maintainers would hurry up so we could update to Drupal 6 and I wouldn't have to do this :)]
your friendly neighbourhood moderator Zach Thibeau
but it was made with replica parts from 1991 so it was like 95Mhz and a whopping 2Mb RAM - Completely useless
i wish HP sold there thin clients cheaper and with more expanability.
($199 is redicculusly cheap but the proc could use a swift kick up to at least 800Mhz and it should have the expandability to add internal hdd's or ssd's instead of the measly 1Gb flash storage.)
Zoop
...but then they were like the XBox 360, they blew up after they're sixth boot.
I wish Firefox 3 didn't have a rendering problem with the <pre> tags on PortableApps.com.
[Me pretending to be a Moderator again: wish granted, but then the modules where so badly made that you couldn't get on this site without your computer to suddenly blow up
]
Blue is everything.
Hmm, I'm guessing I should corrupt your wish any way.
Wish granted, but it had a problem rendering the <strong> tags
I wish I had a laptop
Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Too many bridges you can burn
Too many tables you can't turn
Don't wanna live my life in the real world
but then you had to immediately give it to me, for no apparent reason.
why do I have to give it to you?
Because... *shifts awkwardly*
I wish I had an extra fifty bucks so I could get that portable hard drive I want.
but it crashed the second day after you started using it. Should have gone for solid state.
Okay, this one's really far-fetched, but... I wish all the dev tests listed on the Development page would all be released at once tomorrow!
But then John forgot to put all the sigs and stuff, then since he got so stressed out, the doctor requested he'd take a year or two off the PC. Then, people looked down at PortableApps.com, and then the bills got too much because John had to rest, then the server gave out, and John had to do a job as a PC maintainer.
I wish my drive would get a speed of 20 MB/s
Insert original signature here with Greasemonkey Script.
wish granted
it you got the 20 mb/s speed but only 1 byte of of space
I wish I had a life
don't bother corrupting it, it'll never happen anyway lol
Lead, Follow, or get out of the way.
Wish granted but then your life is all alone.
I wish that all people were nice.
Insert original signature here with Greasemonkey Script.
... but then you weren't capable of so. So everybody locked you alone in a dungeon without any conditions.
I wish... [grumbles with uncertainly for what to ask]... I had a site (on a Drupal platform) and had actual content to display in it.
Blue is everything.
but you had the mistake of letting me design it and i eventually took over the site and downgraded everything to plain html and flash objects!! Ha ha!
i wish for 2 wishes.
Zoop
wish granted
but you wasted them on trying to be the computer lord, and were overthrown by Bill Gates and Mirco$oft
I wish Yahoo, Micro$oft, Sansa (only sansa not sandisk) and Adobe would all go bandrupt
I also wish your site didn't have a link to Micro$oft on it
Lead, Follow, or get out of the way.
but since M$ got bankrupt, millions and millions of people got bankrupt, including your favorite relatives. Then people started rebuilding M$ so they can have jobs again, only this time they made sure that OSS people liked it by hypnotizing them on the site.
I wish my visual aid was done, flawless, and in my hands.
Insert original signature here with Greasemonkey Script.
but it was on the wrong subject so you had to do it all over again.
i wish i had a 500 Gb external usb hard drive that would never fry or get dammaged in any way and that was also compatable with usb 3.0 speed so when it came out my transferrs would be that much faster.
Zoop
but USB 3.0 didn't come out until 2012, so that drive was useless as usb 3.0 wasn't backwards-compatible. Then you sold it to somebody 10 seconds before usb 3.0 came out for 1,000 pence.
I wish the 0.6 final of SMPlayer would come out.
Insert original signature here with Greasemonkey Script.
...but, as usual corruption, it was really unstable, and when you fired it up, your PC blew up.
I wish Sergentsiler's new site was already up
------------------------------
@Sergentsiler: I found the problem. Add:
#navbar {padding-bottom: 1.5em;}to
IE.css :DAnd, does the logo miss transparent background on your IE6 too?
I though I fixed that.
EDIT: I must love PlayOnLinux for being able to install IE when neither IEs4Linux nor WineDoors could. Now I can test my sites!
Blue is everything.
but then i took it down because i needed to fix a bunch of crap as well as add some more.
i wish the wifi i was hitching off of right now was just a little bit more stable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------@ptmb:thanks for the code. and for some reason the logo isnt transparent in IE 6 & 7 as well as firefox. ill try to mod the pic to make it more transparent but i dont know how it will go. BTW, did you mean transparency throught the image or around it, (I.e. Floating or See Through)?
Zoop
...but then your computer didn't have wifi receiver.
I wish all browsers were strict to the W3C guidelines and there were no needs to make hacks for things to work.
_______________________________________
@Sergentsiler: I mean the logo, that has an transparent background (png file), is that transparent background transparent in IE or not? (strange, in here, Firefox/Opera/Safari/IE7 see the background of the png image transparent, IE6 is the one that doesn't support it and I made hacks that doesn't seem to work on IEs4Linux's IE6.) (Not see trough, floating, without gray background on IE6)
!!!EDIT!!!: I mean this.
Blue is everything.
but then css was never developed and so the below comments you and me have been having would be mostly pointless.
i wish my download of S-cry-ed would go faster.
------------------------------------------------------------------------@ptmb: it floats fine in every browser i have come across and in ie6 it seems to be "Transparent", at least without the grey background thogh i dont think i would be able to see through it if i changed the bknd.
**Edit** I know what you were talking about and i am telling you that there is no problem with it, check the screen here
Zoop
...but then they blocked your IP.
I wish CSS3 was out.
________________________________________
@Sergentsiler: but that is on IE7. IE6 lack the ability of rendering the png with transparency. So, the transparent zones on pngs are gray on IE6. IE7 fixes that. Here is a screenshot on IEs4Linux. Also, another thing I though I had corrected was the footer getting on the right place, but I didn't, so I'll have to tweak out the code more.
Also, how about opening a thread about the development of your site?
I know it sounds silly, but it would be cool. You could upload the site on a temporary directory for a while, and we could give suggestions
And now that I have IE, I can make the hacks work.
PS: You can take screenshots trough Windows by pressing the PrtScrn key (Print Screen key, next to the F1 - F12 keys), opening your favorite editing program, and pasting the clipboard content. That way you don't have that watermark anymore.
@everybody else: and now that Sergentsiler and I have posted screenshots of his future website, what do you think?
EDIT: Seems that IEs4Linux doesn't support neither the alphaimageloader hack, neither the alphaopacity hack (not actually hacks, but considered like so) I saw seen some sites with those hacks and the images didn't come up, and with the second hack, the opacity wasn't changed, so in theory it is working fine. Now to the footer!!!
Blue is everything.
but then we gave up css for something better.
i wish i could acsess logmein.com from my school without a proxy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------@ ptmb and anyone else who wants to know about my website: gonna make a new thread in off topic called "Siler's Website" to continue discussions.
Zoop
I wish the Poxy proxy's would work on the library computers.
I would like a cheese & Marmite sandwich...
Stop stabbing me...How many more times, do i have to say this
Im not a vampire.
Hmm, you either forgot to make or wish, or a corruption. No matter, we're pretty forgiving in the corrupt a wish game.
Wish granted, the proxies at the libraries did work and now you couldn't access anything fun.
Wish granted, you had a cheese and marmite sandwich. But it was awful because the waiter didn't know what you were talking about so just made something up on the fly.
I wish I could convince HP to bow at my feet.
Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Too many bridges you can burn
Too many tables you can't turn
Don't wanna live my life in the real world
but they burned your feet (Hot Potatoes ;)).
I wish I had a mental TV tuner.
Insert original signature here with Greasemonkey Script.
but you got it over an antenna without a digital converter so it stoped working in 2009 with digital tranzition.
i wish i knew how to code in delphi so i could finnaly have more than just a form with buttons n' crap that dont work.
Zoop
but you still had buttons and c*** that doesn't work.
Insert original signature here with Greasemonkey Script.
i wish DigitXP had wished for something.
Zoop
Wish granted, but you didn't know what it was, so it was pointless.
I wish I had a cheeseburger.
Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Too many bridges you can burn
Too many tables you can't turn
Don't wanna live my life in the real world
...but then it was a wish so hard to corrupt that the thread died
I wish someone
on somewhere 
taught me some programming language* 
*NSIS
Blue is everything.
but you learned the language that powers the new student information system in your school, hacked it, and your hacking went on your Permanent Record!!!!
I wish my visual aid didn't have as much text.
Insert original signature here with Greasemonkey Script.
Wish Granted but then what words were in the book you couldn't even read because you forgotten how to read
I wish for a club turkey sandwich
your friendly neighbourhood moderator Zach Thibeau
but shortly after you ate it, you found out it had e.coli and you lived the rest of your life as a vegetable.
I wish I had another ASUS A8R-MVP and didn't have to take my computer down for 2 weeks to RMA my current A8R-MVP.
Wish granted but then your gfx card went on the frits
I wish people would not break the layout by posting replies and add comments like the rest of is in this thread
your friendly neighbourhood moderator Zach Thibeau
But then the css got smart and formatted the posts as replies anyways.
I wish that I could sleep in and not have to be up at 6am every day.
But then your alarm clock made you wake up at 3am
(don't worry I wake up at the same time and wish I could sleep in too :P)
I wish I had 2 free pizzas
your friendly neighbourhood moderator Zach Thibeau
But the two free pizzas you got, were both old and moldy, therefore rendering them unedible, which you didn't realize until it was too late...and you suffered and EXTREME overdose of penicillin rendering you in a coma for 2 weeks and unable to finish the corrupt a wish thread.
I wish that wishes, would not be corrupted and my previous wishes would be granted
Sorry, I wanted to be able to read it will I worked my clever response
Wish granted, your wishes were not corrupted and the previous wishes were granted . . . When John finishes the new menu.
I wish I had the new menu

Too many bridges you can burn
Too many tables you can't turn
Don't wanna live my life in the real world
wish granted it can be found here https://portableapps.com/node/13257
I wish I was richer than bill gates so I could buy him out and sell MS to google
your friendly neighbourhood moderator Zach Thibeau

but yahoo bought out google
i wish micro$oft would make office open source
Lead, Follow, or get out of the way.
but you still couldn't portablize it because of the .NET stuff.
I wish I had a Pikachu.

but he shocked you with his electricity thingy attack and you had him put down.
i wish i could get Photoshop CS3 to upgrade from the original CS. (Hacked or Bought)
Zoop
but then you realize you were in the Matrix and figured out that your copy of PS isn't real. (No, I didn't watch it, I have no idea what happens in it other than the stuff I found on the internet).
I wish I had a Taillow.

it's a bird Pokemon.
But now you knew it attacked you with it's powers.

I wish i could get the System:Call function to work and redirect some files.....
Na na na, come on!
but (this is true) then all your portableapps ended up not working because all of their appdata's are in the data dir of your app }:)
I wish I had free stuff.
Insert original signature here with Greasemonkey Script.
...you had stuff for free, but your parents payed those things, and as you where economically dependent of your parents, and they where spending more they could pay, they went bankrupt, and so do you
I wish, I wish, that my awfully annoying works for school where already made, and all off the near tests where already done.
Blue is everything.
but then you were taken out of school so all of it was for nothing.
i wish i could find Rambus (RIMM) memory for a cheaper price.
Zoop

but it came to life and ate you!
i wish there wasent such a big time difference between where i am and where PTMB is so we could IM each other all day instead of a fiew hours here and there.
Zoop
but he started detesting you and decided to IM you constantly all the bugs in your site, PC, IM client, then started hacking your PC to show how useless your Firewall is.

You keep the dolphin out of the laundry. But he smells like 5 year old bolony.
I wish i had a wifi keyboard
Na na na, come on!
But your wifi keyboard is on the same freq. as your television and controls the television instead of your pc.
I wish I was retired from my job.
* Dial-up dropped me, double clicked- sorry*
but then you had no money because you forgot to save for retirement and then the power went out at your house so no more PortableApps.com visits! (AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! The HORROR!)
i wish i knew if Lucifiar finnaly worked out that VTB bug that makes VTP incompat with xpsp3. (On Windows X Shrine)

but then microsoft finally realized that it was worth it, and made a fourth service pack, that had another bug.
I wish that for the corrupt a wish threads only, you could reply without having your post keep moving to the right.
but they moved to the left instead.
i wish it was easier to play halo portable on my school comps without being yelled at.

...but then it was harder to be on the comps at all without being yelled at.
I wish I started making the coolest themes for PAM ever.

Wait, that sounds strangly familiar.
I wish the girl of my dreams would go out with me
"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."

i wish smilies weren't broken.

You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
but then someone dripped them and they broke again!
i wish i would update all of my themes to more modern images as well as add the crap for 1.1 rc1

i wish DrupalSite, the hosting site that i am developing my new website onto, actually worked.

@ sergentsiler:
Do you mean drupalsite? Linky, linky mistaky...
Wish granted, but 3 minutes after they started to work correctly they went down because their server burned out in flames.
I wish I already had my site up and running (no, I still didn't subscribed to the host, but working on it) (there is a big mania of making sites recently, doesn't it?).
Blue is everything.
But then your site was down for a week due to server frustration....
I wish i had a sticky note with me right now
Na na na, come on!
but your very annoying sister that puts nothing useful on her website made a paper airplane out of it and threw it over to the sewer, where the rain washes it away.
I wish my site was more popular.(Gosh, 4 day weekends really let you develop your site, I already finished the outline.) Alpha1 is the only one that registered!
