alc241 People allow themselves things that are not to be done. People help themself to things that aren't theirs.

People permit themselves to do things they shouldn't. People help themselves to things which aren't theirs.

alc242 I'll be done filling the pages before the printer is done printing.

As far as I can tell, this is a perfectly good sentence already.

alc243 He modified the numbers (in order) to get the wanted result./so he would get the wanted result.

He modified the numbers to get the desired result. ("desired" sounds more natural than "wanted")

alc244 You should play with a stack of similar size/sizes/with a stack size similar to the other players. (how would you say this)

All players use stacks of similar sizes.

OR

You should play with a stack the same size as the other players.

alc245 The line was 3 times as long as the line last time/longer than the line last time.

Both versions are good. If you are writing this, use "three" instead of "3".
