End of the age of Pisces! Bring on the water-bearer!.... Or the destruction of the earth, either will work.. And if I magically survive that, please let there be alcohol still, and atleast one porn websites server still alive.

Realistically, AC:III and less lawsuits/religious nutjob groups coming out of the woodwork. Bring on the rapture and get them out of here already, so the rest of us can live in peace. Two birds, one stone ;).

A general method for teleporting common small molecules (H2O, etc)

A video game console with at least 6GB of memory

A real alternative to Intel CPUs

An extension of the blue line of Montreal's metro (so it goes where I live)

Certainly nothing of that will happen. :pinch:

Whole new government (well the 33 in the Senate and all the Reps)

Donation cap on lobbyist.

Term limits fixes this real quick, no more that 8 years as a Senator/Congressweasel/President

New President, especially one that does not hate on businesses

Less freeloaders looking for the government ###### to suck on

A damn job that pays well based on my education and effort

Peace for Israel, they are long overdue

  • A democratic government in Libya
  • A democratic government in Egypt
  • The downfall of all the last dictators
  • The capturing and/or killing of every Al-Qaeda member and anyone associated with them (Al-Qaeda)
  • A better year for the new Danish government, which was elected a few months ago but are not doing that well
  • A new Foreign Affairs minister in DK
  • The release of Windows 8
  • Tech prices to be lowered
  • Gas prices to be lowered, while highly unlikely

That's pretty much it I think :) Not all of these are possible, but this is what I wish for 2012.

    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market

      By wrack · Posted

      This is weird. Mythos is more unrestricted compared to Fable. Technically it poses more risk!!
    • SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers

      This is a great thing, I always have issues with Verizon while inside of certain football stadiums due to the saturation and walls blocking signal so a LOS way to connect would be great. Verizon was supposed to be offering sat data this year but I've not heard a word of it lately. Dude is sending rockets into space in a cheap manner, low waste foot print and has a great product with solar/battery tech. We would be so far behind China right now if not for him and a push to get back into space.

      illegally? Proof of that? Seems you are posting misinformation or well a pure straight up lie cause there is zero proof of such a thing. But I get it...
