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.

Automatic Updates 

Share definition Flag
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!

Watch out but they have skills. They should replace the FBI. Best update accounts : @1DUpallnightx_ & @1DStalking & @1DWhereAbouts & @1DWorldUpdate :)

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
