Minecraft for Xbox 360 dev working on 'Adventure' update
Is there some magical program out there that I can just run and it will get all the available updates from Microsoft, install them, reboot as needed, over and over again so I don't have to install / reboot 3-4 times when I run into a computer that is still running SP2 and hasn't been updated in 2.5 years?

How was everyone's time in Ulduar last night? I haven't bothered to check the WoW forums, but I know our server was buggy as hell. Two of the bosses in Ulduar were unkillable (talking about 10 man version btw). We took out Flame Leviathan first try and then screwed around with the big robot, realized he was bugged for other guilds on our server and then tried Ignis. He too was bugged for other guilds on the server so we left to go kill Emelon in the new vault wing. Emelon was a fun fight and pretty easy. Saw the urgent maintenance going out this morning, so hopefully that shit is getting fixed!

Kids who regularly scarf down fast food and soft drinks are less likely to be unhappy than kids who don't. More likely to be overweight, yes, but less likely to be unhappy.
The researchers state in their conclusion: "Current and future policy/program interventions that aim to decrease fast food and soft drinks consumption of children to reduce childhood obesity may be more
effective if these interventions also focus on ways that could compensate the potential
reduction in degree of happiness of children."
Correlation, of course, but a causal mechanism wouldn't surprise me given the lack of self-image and mortality concerns among kids (who cares if I'm fat, I get to eat happy meals all the time!).

Do you think Season 7 is more, less, or just as ridiculous as Season 6? I mean, in a twenty four hour period, The President's Daughter got taken hostage, took a job with the white house, had sex with a reporter... Not to mention the other stuffs.

Still pretty noob here, however I started to branch out of Ryu, and now plays some M.Bison here and there... 2 observations:
1) As a noob player, I now limit my ranked matches to be vs "more skilled players". Two benefits from this, one - I get good honest practice, obviously, against better ranked opponents. Two, even though I lose a lot, my BP is actually gaining! Here's why: for a 700'ish noob, you lose very little BP against guys who are 2000+, but if you were to just pull out one win, you get massive 90+ BP. Totally worth it.
2) As a noobish player playing against better opponents, it's hard to get win's with Ryu/Ken - because your opponents have fought countless Ryu's and Ken's, and they totally know what your worthless noobass is gonna do.... Now that I play M.Bison, I've won more games, simply because some ppl don't seem to have faced M.Bison's a whole lot.... I mean there was a 3000+ guy I beat that I swear he's facing a M.Bison for the 1st time! He just didn't know how to respond.
