Updates in real-time 

The characterological template? It does that too! I do it manually. And I'm not going to stop being brilliant any time soon barring some unforeseen catastrophe.
Hym "And, like the collective dialogue, it updates in real-time. But whereas the collective dialogue is like ONE water molecule freezing... This is like MANY water molecules freezing. An individual-collective dialogue! With more water molecules being added to the collection daily."

Automatic Updates 

An annoying feature of Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2. It automatically downloads "critical updates" to fix security holes found almost daily in Internet Explorer and in other parts of the operating system, then it harasses you to restart your computer. If you click "Restart Later" the box will pop back up in about five minutes.
noob: Automatic Updates rules!
h4x0r: Don't use it...if you do I won't be able to hack your PC! Liek, omg!
