The alternate reality thread!

This thread is about if you could be placed in any other alternate reality what would it be?

Mine would be this:

*Dictator of the entire planet from Moscow.:mad:

*Or a a famous author of a political Ideology.:cool:

*Or rich, or a least bit smarter. :slight_smile:
What would your be???

Jeez I don’t know, maybe somebody could reply?

President of the US’s first Libertarian government, with a majority in Congress and a strong mandate from the people. :smiley:

Author of a popular Open-Source UNIX-like OS that is pushing out Microsoft from all its strongholds through both undercutting in the price wars and outperforming in the technology wars. (Even though that might entail me having to have been born in Finland. :D)

The author of the OS to be used on either the first manned mission to Mars or the first commercial venture into orbital transport.

The founder of Playboy. :cool:

The man who finally hears a long seqence of prime numbers being transmitted from a system likely to hold an Earth-like planet. (Or, even cooler, hearing a message of the same form as our message sent out from the Acreibo observatory, but with information specific to the ETs instead of us humans.)

… … … … … … :slight_smile:

Inventor of a popular chipset consisting of a hyperoptimised RISC core with frontends that implement the opcodes of popular competing chipsets (Intel x86, Intel ARM, Motorola 68k, Motorola PPC, SPARC, MIPS, etc.) in very fast microcode, but with special opcodes to allow people to directly program the RISC core. (One core to rule them all/One core to bind them … )

I don’t know if this is what you’re looking for, but here goes. For a day or two, I want to live Jack Nicholson’s life. Especially when the Lakers are in town.

Other than that, maybe someone with psychic abilities, who can stop bad things from happening worldwide.

Thirdly, my choice would be a SDMB moderator.

And last, but not least, a portion of intelligence in the form of a worm, to be insterted into George W.'s brain.

Rolo Tomasi.

Who is Rolo Tomasi?

Queen of the United Kingdom.

Queen of Spain.

Queen of France.

Owner of Switzerland.

Gee. This is fun. :slight_smile:

The guy who gets away with it.
