Need for Speed : Most Wanted(2012)

Need for Speed: Most Wanted (commonly abbreviated to as NFS: MW) is an upcoming 2012 racing video game, developed by British games developer Criterion Games and published by Electronic Arts.



Gameplay

Need for Speed: Most Wanted takes on the gameplay style of the first Most Wanted title in the Need for Speed franchise. Most Wanted allows players to select one car and compete against other racers to reach a destination. Cops are integrated into certain racing sessions, in which the police deploy vehicles and tactics to stop the player's car and arrest the player, like the original Most Wanted. The single-player section will feature a Blacklist of 10 racers, similar to the single-player section of the original Most Wanted, which featured 15 Blacklist racers.
Most Wanted has been likened to Criterion's Burnout series, and has a large open world. Like Burnout Paradise, races have a start and end point but players can choose their own route to the finish line.
The game will use Autolog, the competition-between-friends system developed by Criterion for Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, and since used in other titles in the Need for Speed series. Autolog in Most Wanted plays a larger role and gives more information to players. Activities in-game allow players to earn Speed Points which can boost players up on Most Wanted list. Autolog recommendations have now been integrated into the game world, rather than sit externally on the menu system.
The driving model of the game has been described as "deep, physical and fun", not as arcade-styled as the Burnout series and Hot Pursuit, but far from a simulator. Most Wanted has a range of real-world vehicles, a mix of muscle cars, street racers and exotics, described as "the wildest selection of cars yet". The cars can be altered with performance upgrades and visual upgrades, such as paint colors, wheels, suspensions, engine, nitrous, and bodywork (body kits).

How to change Ubuntu Login Screen


Ubuntu is one of the great OS which comes with handy and flexible features, Unlike windows you can change the login screen very easily in ubuntu(believe me), you don’t need any external softwares or hacks to do it. Even though there is no GUI available presently you can do it through some command lines, So follow me closely and you will be good.


I don't want to be sooo long, so lets get to the procedure ;)

Requirements:
- Ubuntu OS(Lucid), if you don’t have one you can download from here and install it through CD/DVD or install ubuntu through USB flash drive.

- 5 minuets of your valuable time ;)


Step #1: select you favorite wallpaper(.jpeg) and move it to your HOME folder.


Step #2: Open up you terminal through Applications > Accessories > Terminal.


Step #3: Now move it(wallpaper) to the system wallpaper directory by entering this command in terminal
sudo mv ~/your-wallpaper-name.jpg /usr/share/backgrounds

Step #4: After successful completion of moving use this command to activate Appearance window at login.
sudo cp /usr/share/applications/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow

Step #5:Now simply close the window and logout of the session, Now at the login screen Appearance tab will be opened, Navigate to backgrounds tab and select your favorite wallpaper, if you can’t find your wallpaper, click ADD. Now you will find the wallpaper in the list(/usr/share/backgrounds directory).



That’s it your login screen will be changed automatically and instantly.


Step #6: For the last step open up the terminal and enter this command to disable the appearance window at every login.

BitLocker Drive Encryption

Bitlocker Drive Encryption helps prevent unauthorised access to any files stored on the drives. You are able to use computer normally, but unauthorised users cannot read or use your files.



You can use BitLocker Drive Encryption to help protect all files stored on the drive Windows is installed on (operating system drive) and on fixed data drives (such as internal hard drives). Your can use BitLocker To Go to help protect all files stored on removable data drives (such as external hard drives or USB flash drives).

Unlike Encrypting File System (EFS), which enables you to encrypt individual files, BitLocker encrypts the entire drive. You can log on and work with your files normally, but BitLocker can help block hackers from accessing the system files they rely on to discover your password, or from accessing your drive by removing it from your computer and installing it in a different computer.

When you add new files to a drive that is encrypted with BitLocker, BitLocker encrypts them automatically. Files remain encrypted only while they are stored in the encrypted drive. Files copied to another drive or computer are decrypted. If you share files with other users, such as through a network, these files are encrypted while stored on the encrypted drive, but they can be accessed normally by authorized users.

If you encrypt the operating system drive, BitLocker checks the computer during startup for any conditions that could represent a security risk (for example, a change to the BIOS or changes to any startup files). If a potential security risk is detected, BitLocker will lock the operating system drive and require a special BitLocker recovery key to unlock it. Make sure that you create this recovery key when you turn on BitLocker for the first time; otherwise, you could permanently lose access to your files. If your computer has the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip, BitLocker uses it to seal the keys that are used to unlock the encrypted operating system drive. When you start your computer, BitLocker asks the TPM for the keys to the drive and unlocks it.

If you encrypt data drives (fixed or removable), you can unlock an encrypted drive with a password or a smart card, or set the drive to automatically unlock when you log on to the computer.

You can turn off BitLocker at any time, either temporarily by suspending it, or permanently by decrypting the drive.

To Turn On Bitlocker:

1.  Goto Control Panel > System and Security > BitLocker Drive Encryption

2.  Click on Turn On BitLocker on Selected Drive

3.  Select 'Use a Password to unlock this drive'.

4.  Enter the Password you want and Click Next.

5.  Save the recovery key and click Next.

6.  Now, Bit Locker will Encrypt the Drive.

7.  To Turn off BitLocker, click on Turn off BitLocker

Note: Windows 7 with TPM is must for Bitlocker
