The "Corrupt a wish" game

[su:bhatta]

Granted.
U are happy being lazy, not taking a bath but the reservoir on top of your building breaks down and your house/apartment is flooded you wade through.

I wish I had a working KDE install.

[Double.J]

You're KDE install starts working perfectly, a you enjoy the extreme bliss of the environment you notice something odd... Something you hadn't noticed during all the hours at the terminal getting it there... The trackpad... The trackpad. Is it slow? Is it not reading all your inputs? Why is it so temperamental??

You open up the laptop and find the sweat of your labour has caused internal liquid damage, and needing a machine by monday you head down to pcworld and can only by a machine with Windows 8 and secure boot enabled!

i wish this reply didn't cause me to burn my bacon!

[pqwoerituytrueiwoq]

granted, your bacon was stolen by a genie

I wish for IE8 to meat it's death on the 8th of this month

[redbikemaster]

It meets its death, but causes yours, as the servers controlling your local traffic control infrastructure collapse when the Windows machines running them cease to function, as they were not updated to IE 9 or later. You come upon a green light while driving, but alas, it's also green for the 80,000 lb. truck traveling perpendicular to you. You never see it coming.

I wish Adobe Media Encoder would stop crashing so I can go home and go to bed.

[CompyTheInsane]

Adobe Media Encoder stops crashing. You go to sleep in a bed that then crashes into a wall.
I wish for a laptop with a Nvidia GeForce 760M GPU or better.

[redbikemaster]

You get your wish, only to find the laptop has Windows 8, and has secure boot.

I wish I knew Web programming better.

[robsoles]

It replaces all the knowledge you have to date, you can't even remember how to tie your shoes and what is worse is that all people want you to do is similes of this -> http://theoatmeal.com/comics/design_hell

I wish UF would harden up and take back login responsibility around here from Ubuntu One

[Metallion]

UF hardens and takes back login responsibility but they're hardened up so much that they have turned to stone and the login system goes unmaintained.

I wish Metallion would come back and finally make a damn Ubuntu One account. Oh wait...

[pqwoerituytrueiwoq]

granted, you had a account, but now you don't know your password, neither does your browser, or password safe. BTW your email password has been randomized

I wish for mosquitoes to become extinct when this wish is fulfilled

[Metallion]

That self referential wish gets stuck in an infinite loop when the genie executes it.

I wish I currently had the time to substantially refactor Wakame-vdc's code and write a thorough unit testing framework for it.
