Anandtech's new dream system they put up in the high end buyers guide article today!!! Come on all these geeks and not one wish for comptuer hardware. No but really, I'd probably wish for omnipotence. And then I'd will into existence one of those computers (or 10 whatevers good)

Hey, thanks :) I've always wanted a golden member :Q

Yeah, you gotta be careful with wishes. You gotta make one with no loopholes, or something ironic always happens.

First, I'd want to get my roommate back...

I think infinite wisdom or teleportation would be my other choices...since I can already fly!

I'd wish for infinite wishes...

if thats not allowed... I'd wish for immortality at my peak in life, and I'd start saving money:)

<< That's an easy one. Unlimited wishes requiring a simple, but unusual string of thoughts to activate. That way if I'm ever trapped, or thrown in jail, I wont be left without my wishing talisman and SOL. Also, the reason for the string of thoughts being unusual is, if simply wishing for something made it come true, could you imagine the mistakes you might make in the heat of passion or anger? Sheesh! >>



at first, I would wish for something along the lines of this also. its basically becoming omnipotent, knod of all powerfull, almost like a god.

but then again, I think that this wish, and almost all of the other wishes people posted would eventually just become unfullfilling. if you can instantly have anything and everything that you've ever wanted, then what would be the point in life? it would get boring, there would be no challenge to life. this is the same subject of so many anti-utopia novels. What you consider now to be the perfect life or the perfect world, would not be perfect at all once your actually living it. Your wishes would make you happy for a short time, but then you would just get used to it.

it would be like playing a video-game with all of the cheats on, you can just walk straight though all of the levels and challenges, simply using your wishes and cheats to get to the next level without any challenge whatsoever.
now that wouldnt be any fun at all, would it?

if you ask me, i would never wish to rid the world of all evil, or wish to become the most powerfull being in the universe. I think perhaps the perfect world is something where there IS evil throughout the world, but there is a clearly defined boundary between good and evil. A kind of world that is depicted in old comic books perhaps, it is clear that you are fighting on the right side, and you know exactly who your enemies are. You will face incredible obstacles day after day, that present new and different challenges. you will have bad days, and good days, win some battles, and lose some battles, but it is definitely NEVER boring. And, you will eventually die fighting for what is good and right. THAT is my real wish.

immortality for me. with that, I could use the power of compound interest to get me everything else.

unlimited money.

that way I wouldn't have to worry about the small things in life, life school or a job. And I could concentate on the important things. Like traveling the world to meet new people and to be able to do random acts of kindnest.

Immortality and unlimited money would be somewhere at the bottom of my list! :) well for the fact that if I had an infinite amount of life, life would generally be pointless since it lasts forever. I value life because I know I only have a limited amount of time in it. And about the same with money, life would get boring.

But invisibility would be cool! :D
