You can. You have to. You find yourself suddenly in the future, and the choice means life or death. You choose wrong.
I wish my stomach felt better (case of food poisoning).

Drogue, he's one was of countrymen! Famous also, and his work has made it to the big screen a bunch of times. It's easy to track down.

They do, because I stop posting. However, it causes the thread to sink into obscurity, because posts come so far apart.
I wish that we end up with more posters, resulting in a greater variety of corruption.

You do. You discover a security hole in your workplace's firewall, and download gleefully at megaBYTES per second. The RIAA finds out, tracks you down, sues you for $250,000, and the local federal prosecutor decides YOU are going to be the test case for criminal penalties. Did I mention you lose your job?
I hope the Civ 4 is released open source, with easily identifiable modules, resulting in dozens of variants and a great commercial success for Atari, completely revitalizing turn-based strategy games.

You have a stock of, ahem, INTERESTING magazines that your GF finds. She calls the police, you are arrested as a pervert, and even though you are eventually found innocent, your life is in shambles and you're black listed.
I wish a could translate "yeh, ehh ehh ehh" and all the other fascinating things my 10 month old says.

You get the Oxford English Dictionary on disk. You realize the terrible things Gates is doing to business letter formats, dictionaries, and encyclopedias. You start a trend that eventually challenges the Windows hegenomy. With the loss of de facto standards, the Linux takles over and PC's become a geek thing again. Network televsion regains popularity, and an entire 1950's retro thing starts. Because of this "Leave it to Beaver, the Grandkids" becomes a new CBS hit. Realizing this is all your fault, you retire to a Shao-lin monastery.
I wish the Linux crowd would get there act together and make a common graphical interface my wife could use.
