Here's another http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/dont-kill-the-igoogle-webportal.html

Water causes injury or death when introduced into the body quickly enough, say through a fire hose or if frozen in a large mass and dropped into you from a reasonable height, say 50ft. Must be poisonous then *nods* uh-huh.

In fact, water is so poisonous, it was rebranded as a PR move after public safety groups began campaigning to ban it under it's original trade name: http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/ban-dihydrogen-oxide.html

It seems his name is Rick Rubin, producer for Metallica's 2008 album Death Magnetic. The album came under fire for its excessive use of dynamic range compression thanks to Rubin's influence, and in fact there's a petition for a remix or a remaster of Death Magnetic without the excessive dynamic range compression.

Totally agree. I work on the FoK mod and it's great how modding has really enhanced DoW. Speaking of which, maybe you'll sign the DoW2 modding petition? http://www.gopetition.com/online/22510.html

With SARS still in the back of people's mind, the whole thing may sound familiar. corrupt! muddleheaded!fraudulent! Wen Jiabao,resign! http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/beijing-olympics-boycott.html

(No GIR, that's a bad thing...)

Heard about this a while ago...

If you're pissed off, check out this online petition and send lots of e-mails to the execs at Nickelodeon.

The one nice thing about this, though, is that now Jhonen can concentrate on possibly releasing a second series of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. Ooooooo.... It almost makes me go head-explodey just thinking about it. =)

It also seems that Nick is cancelling other shows as well, such as Spongebob Squarepants and Hey Arnold. At that site you can petition for the show not to be canceled. There are 1797 Signatures right now. Help out now!

The http://slashdot.org/aintitcool.com link in the article is wrong. Use this instead.

As other posters have pointed out, Sony is in legal squabbles with Aibo hacking sites. A POV that paints a rather disturbing (if one can use such a word in the context of a robot pet dog) picture of Sony's tactics can be found here. After reading the above, I'd like to urge people to sign a petition to send a message to Sony so people could customize their Aibos. (And signing the petition also helps Red Cross, which actually is something that matters.)

Universities already customize their Aibo software to participate in Robot Cup, and I don't see why individual users shouldn't be allowed to do the same. Sony will probably use the same prohibitive pricing as it currently uses with all Aibo software, but it would be a start.

I have not seen anyone mention this petition Soo, here it is now go and sign it people.
