So, I'm now on my third incarnation of eclipse, having used Helios, Indego, and Eclipse Classic on a multitude of both windows and Linux machines. And in every incarnation I click check for updates and the process takes half a day. Right now I just clicked it in Indego and it's been checking for 4 hours now..
Seriously why haven't they fixed this yet? It's really annoying..
BTW, I'm loving these new android DEV tools! The new forms designer is freekin sweet!

Filtered Krissy and Teddy bear blunt will get you so hi, you'll shitfaced at work calling your boss kitty cock bloody pants! You'll be dancing with the plants praising the gods of bat splooge, so hi that donuts will terrify you from this point on.. It's time to praise the god of eating turkey and killing inJens cause it's almost turkey day, king fuck it! And you live only once! So lets all masturbate to Mario, cause kuppa is king.. and that turkey an't eating itself..... Well it is, but only because you snorted my stuffed animal like crack, and TC smiley's are suddenly attractive.. :)
I have it! So far so good. I'm loving the water color styles, and the controls are very nice even if I need to "recalibrate" the center every now and then (it appears it isn't using the infrared for that, oddly enough). One thing I'll note is there are save points, which is odd considering Zelda as a whole has simply let you save anywhere (even if only recent ones let you continue from anywhere). I consider them a step back, but fortunately they seem plentiful.
Quote:The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals might be barking up the wrong mushroom.
On Monday, the controversial organization issued a press release attacking iconic Nintendo mascot Mario for wearing a 'Tanooki' suit in his latest adventure, the Nintendo 3DS game Super Mario 3D Land, which hit shelves on Sunday.
"Tanooki may be just a "suit" in Mario games, but by wearing the skin of an animal, Mario is sending the message that it's OK to wear fur," PETA says.
The raccoon-like suit, which grants Mario the ability to glide across the screen, has been a part of the franchise since first appearing as a power-up in 1988's Super Mario Bros. 3. In the new game, Mario acquires the suit not by doing something lousy to a Tanooki, but by snagging a Super Leaf.
Still, PETA insists this encourages animal abuse.
"Tanukis are real-life raccoon dogs who are beaten and, as PETA's undercover exposés show, often skinned alive for their fur," says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. "This winter, everyone can give raccoon dogs and other fabulous animals a 1-UP by keeping our wardrobes fur-free."
To help prove their point, PETA has even commissioned a crude parody video game called "Super Tanooki Skin 2D" in which players try to re-capture their skin from a flying Mario (Warning: Kind of disturbing, and totally not fun.)
It's just the latest in a long line of PETA game complaints. In 2008 they went after Cooking Mama for not being a vegetarian, while just last year they parodied challenging downloadable platform hit Super Meat Boy for starring a piece of raw meat.
Nintendo has yet to comment, though we're pretty sure it will sound like a hand slapping a forehead.
UPDATE: Nintendo has now responded, via Eurogamer:
"Mario often takes the appearance of certain animals and objects in his games. These have included a frog, a penguin, a balloon and even a metallic version of himself. These lighthearted and whimsical transformations give Mario different abilities and make his games fun to play. The different forms that Mario takes make no statement beyond the games themselves."
