Aladin's lamp will give you 3 wishes of limited power. I'd rather have the lamp from "I Dream of Jeanie". I'd much rather have a genie that looked like Barbara Eden.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Another vote for the replicator.
Once you have a few replicators, money loses all value. I mean, who would need money if you can create anything you want instantly and free of charge?Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui
And you may not want to replicate money because I'm sure someone will find out that it's counterfeit, at least if you do it too often
The day replicator technology is invented is the day communism defeats capitalism

Sorry. Replicators will require vast amounts of energy that will not be "free". Very cheap... but not free.Originally posted by Locutus

Once you have replicators, producing energy sources such as batteries, solar cells, wind mills, nuclear power plants (since replicators work both ways, you don't even have to worry about nuclear waste), etc would be a piece of cakeOriginally posted by Cruddy

Holodeck's can't serve as replicators. Stuff produced in a holodeck only exists in a holodeck. You can't survive off holodeck food for example because, molecularly, it's not real. It only passes for real.
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
