Minecraft for Xbox 360 dev working on 'Adventure' update
Was it me or shouldn't they have done something with the fake four leaf guy storyline at the end. Like having his hands blown off in the final blast for real, since they made such a big deal of out it several times in the movie.

I'm working on a project for a class and it's a stop motion video of basically a "first date" or whatever.
I need a song to go with it. Something up tempo and maybe punkish (like New Found Glory, Blink 182 style) but it needs to be a song that would fit the theme.
Any ideas?

So I posted a thread earlier today http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?id=17865019
I stopped at target about an hour ago and unfortunately they only had 4. I asked if they had any more in the back and they said "no". I was all psyched to give away 20. This is going to be a potentially NWS thread in which shackers post the absolute most gorgeous scantily clad woman they can find. I will choose the top 4 :)

This update should fix the crash if you type in ":%", some security issues, some compatibility problems with Facebook, and a few other random miscellaneous bits.
Note, if you are running a nightly build or found some crazy direct link to an exe and didn't go through the official installer, you won't be able to update (automatically or manually). I strongly recommend using the official installer. We're going to be pushing updates pretty frequently and considering how early we are in the public beta period I definitely would not want anyone to get left behind on security/stability/compatibility fixes.

here's a pic of my 8 month son I snapped yesterday while he was in his car seat:
http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/2808/img0714pf1.jpg
I went back to look at pictures of his first 6 months and it's kind of a shame how crappy the quality of all those pictures is. With hindsight I would have invested in good camera gear the day he was born. Oh well, live and learn :(

So I'm on ATT/Cingular in California right now and I'm out of contract, just doing month to month on a razr. Anyway what I'm interesting in is some shack inside intel if there is a viable alternative to having a cellphone/smartphone replace my ISP.
Anyone have any experience doing this, the internet is full of old info and I'm looking for some current options and providers and of course obligatory shack tales of woe.
Thanks kindly peeps!

I almost rage smashed my keyboard in half. I'm trying to install XP on my machine but I have no floppy and my hard drive is a SATA so windows won't recognize it. I tried integrating the VIA Sata raid driver with nLite but it hasn't made any difference. Windows still tells me I have no hard drive.
My MB is an Asus A8V deluxe. The hard drive is plugged into the black "sata 1" on the board.

Does your IM program let you check gmail?
Can it check multiple accounts simultaneously, and pop up when I get a new one?
I'm aware of gmail Notifier, but it used to have a problem with multiple accounts.

What sucks is that I have no freaking clue on how to jump at all and getting no where in this game after playing it for 5 minutes. :(
Also, I thought I would never see the day when a game as old as this one looking fantastic on my widescreen 24" LCD monitor. Using up the entire screen too on my little quad-core PC with Vista Ultimate 64 bit OS!! Holy fuck that was cool to see.
Meh, gotta go back now and practice my jumping skills. :/
