Sof made me sign this petition. It’s something to do with radio mic’s. From what I can gather the people who own the patent or the bandwidth the radios transmit on are planning on selling it, and restricting the use of the mics for broadway musicals… or something.
Anyway, Sof requested that I post it here for anyone to sign if they wish.

Except my Mac, of course.
This is going to be a very short post, and a link to a screenshot of my desktop. I won’t say much else other than there is no photshoppery going on here, its all there, and its running.
I won’t say how I did it just yet (although anyone with an ounce of intelligence will guess how, and even if you can’t guess, you should be able to tell my looking at the icons in my dock).
So without further ado: Counter-Strike: Source and Steam running on an Intel Mac, OS X 10.4.9.
(Remember to enlarge the picture if it’s set to resize to fit the screen. It’s also in 1680 x 1050 resolution, so it’ll take a couple of seconds to download.)
Here’s a short note on how to ruin someone’s night out.
Firstly, you need to be Mini-Chav. That’s not hard, just dress up in some white clothing (much like any member of the KKK would), wear a peaked cap and act like a complete and utter tosser. Don’t forget the repetitive usage of the words “Oh boys!” said in a strong (but obviously exaggerated) Welsh accent.
Secondly, disobey the law, and get drunk while hanging around the streets at a time of night which is waaay past your bed time. Turn your mobile off to avoid “Mummy” phoning you to tell you to come home (this step might be unnecessary, as your parents will probably be too drunk to care about you anyway).
Thirdly, hang around in groups. You’re much more likely to be intimidating in a group then if you were alone. Groups of around four or five people are adequate. At least one person should be on a BMX bike (of some kind of cheap brand). It shouldn’t be a mountain bike.
Lastly, spot your victim. Your victim should ideally be alone - even though you’re in a group. Any group smaller than yours is fair game. You can now commence your “attack” by shouting phrases like “You wanna go?” and “Come on ‘en.” even though your victim is clearly attempting to ignore you in hope that you will get bored and go away.
**NOTE** If your victim is ignoring you, fight the urge to get bored and go looking for shiny things. We appreciate that it is hard to concentrate on one activity at a time, but you must do your best.
Finally, gang up on the most vulnerable person in the group that you are aggravating. Throw a punch or two to assert your authority. The victim may stare at you wondering why your punch had no affect. If this happens, back off and attack another member of the group. Another good target are those that wear glasses. If you can break a victim’s glasses, you will earn bonus points.
Remember to show how brave and intelligent you are by running for your life as soon as the Police arrive. If you are the one with the bike, forget your bike and leave without it. You probably stole it anyway.
Congratulations. You have successfully ruined what would have been someone’s fun night out.
Best interpretation evar!
