Facebook /quotes/zigman/9962609 /quotes/nls/fb FB CEO Mark Zuckerberg took to the stage at TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2013, on the heels of a Q&A with Marissa Mayer of Yahoo.
It's a good day for Zuckerberg, whose stock finally took out the all-time high reached on the day of its May 2012 IPO debut.
As with Mayer, Zuckerberg was asked by interviewer Michael Arrington about Facebook's response to the NSA data gathering from U.S. tech companies. The Facbook CEO said the government "blew it" by not being more forthcoming with U.S. citizens. And he mocked initial responses to the release of NSA documents by Edward Snowden. They said "don't worry, we're not spying on any Americans." Adding that's of little value to companies trying to cultivate a global customer base.
Zuckerberg also noted that last year "We took a lot of s–t because we weren't focused on making money on mobile." He bragged that now "40% of the company's revenue is mobile."
Asked what advice he'd have for Twitter executives as they move towards going public, Zuckerberg said he was "the last person you'd want to ask about how to make a smooth IPO."
He declined to be critical of Yahoo's new logo, saying it "seems fine to me," and adding "We've had the same logo for almost 10 years."

NBA@2: Zach Randolph Key To Grizzlies' Contention?
Memphis Grizzlies All-Star forward Zach Randolph was in midseason form as he took the court at the John Lucas Lockout Charity Game in Houston last December. He looked great, moved exceptionally well, and looked poised to lead his team deep into postseason play. Unfortunately, he made it just two full games into the lockout-shortened 2011-12 NBA season before suffering a partial MCL tear against the Chicago Bulls on January 1st. To their credit, the Grizzlies stayed very much in the playoff chase without him, thanks in large part to the play of Marreese Speights, but it was clear that they weren't prepared to contend with Randolph on the sidelines.
When he returned the Grizzlies struggled to work him back into the system, losing five of their first six games while Randolph worked to get back into game shape. A move to the second unit helped, both because it took some of the pressure from Randolph and because it added firepower to the bench. As much as anything, Randolph just needed additional time to work himself back into the flow of the game.
"It's been difficult, especially being out for half of the season," Randolph tells HOOPSWORLD. "When I came back the guys already had their chemistry going and been playing together and getting along. It's difficult, but I just try to come in and do the best I can do and integrate myself back in with these guys and the way they play and just try to help this team get wins."
To his credit, Randolph took the move to the bench in stride, putting the success of the team ahead of everything else.
"I mean, it's a role and I have to accept it. I don't know how long it's going to last – it's up to the coach – but I'm a team guy and it's all about winning. So if he think that's the best thing for me to come off the bench and help these guys win, then I'm with Coach."
"I think right now until he gets his conditioning back and his flow back, I think it's what's been best for the team," says Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley. "But there's no doubt that he's a starter and he belongs in the starting lineup for us. It's just a matter of time, I think, once he gets his rhythm and everything back. This short season hasn't been easy so I think that will just be a waiting game."
Part of the issue for head coach Lionel Hollins is that the identity of the team changed somewhat while Randolph was out, so not only is Zach trying to get back into top shape, he's also learning the intricacies of the team's new direction.
"It's difficult simply because, it wouldn't matter how the schedule was but the fact that he missed 43 games and in those 43 games we became a different team," Hollins explains. "We created a new identity. It was more perimeter, dribble hand-offs, playing out of the pistol action, playing out of the pick-and-rolls and when he came back he had a big game against Toronto and then the next game he didn't play very well. The more he played, the worse he was, because he's just not in great shape and he's not basketball-ready. I made the decision to send him back to the bench and hopefully let the rest of the guys go back to playing the way that they were capable of playing without him and it's worked out. We've taken off and I think we won five out of six because of it. It's important that that group stays strong because they are the group that carried us all year as we work Zach in from the bottom. We can't work him in from the top because we can't take that time. It's not an 82-game season and we have to keep winning, because as you see the West is tight and every night you go out and play you win some ground and then you lose some ground. It's a tough part for me because I want Zach to get back and get ready, but I also have to keep the other group out there with a chance to win and he's helped us a few times."
Now the Grizzlies seem to have caught their second wind. With Randolph settling into his role off the bench and getting stronger every day, the team has won six of their seven games in April and are closing in on home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. They're just a half-game behind the fourth-seeded Los Angeles Clippers and two games behind the third-seeded Los Angeles Lakers. Over the last four games Randolph averaged 14.0 points and 11.5 rebounds in wins over the Miami HEAT, Dallas Mavericks, LA Clippers and Phoenix Suns.
The Grizzlies look more like contenders with each passing game, especially as Randolph gets stronger. Still, the playoffs are a couple of weeks away and a lot can happen between now and then. The Grizzlies are working to keep their focus on the present.
"We've just got to keep playing," says Randolph. "Wherever we land in the playoffs, we've just got to keep playing. The season's not over with and it's real close. We've just got to take it one game at a time and just continue to play and get to our type of gameplan and the way we've been playing."
Last season the Grizzlies were one of the most interesting postseason stories. With Randolph getting better by the day they might just prove to be an even more interesting story when the playoffs roll around once again.
Raymond Felton Finding His Groove
Portland Trail Blazers guard Raymond Felton talks with HOOPSWORLD about finding his groove under a new head coach, losing good friend Gerald Wallace at the trade deadline and more in this exclusive interview.
If you're into reality TV and the professional sports that emulate same, get ready for what should be a fun contest between Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and New Jersey Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov.
The stakes? All-Star point guard Deron Williams.
The closer we get to the end of the 2011-12 season, which can't come soon enough for either NBA owner, the hotter the rhetoric seems to get between the NBA's most dynamic front office personalities. Cuban cites his 2009 appearance on Monday Night Raw when he talks about the upcoming challenge of luring Williams away from Prokhorov.
"He obviously didn't see me be the first in WWE history to put Sheamus on the mat," Cuban e-mailed ESPN Dallas. "He knows not what he gets himself into."
"Let the best man win," Prokhorov said. "If (Cuban) wins, I will crush him in a kickboxing throwdown."
Lost in all of this is the fact that Williams will make his own decision, independent of the result of any WWE-style maneuver on Cuban's part or kickboxing exhibition by Prokhorov.
All joking and theatrics aside, as things stand today it's difficult to see why Williams would choose Dallas, despite sources close to the situation assuring HOOPSWORLD that Deron to Dallas is little more than a formality. As our own Jason Fleming recently detailed, the Mavericks can't easily afford to just sign Williams outright, and the pieces they have to offer in a trade – Brendan Haywood, Shawn Marion – aren't likely to get New Jersey excited.
Obviously, a lot can and will happen between now and free agency, but here's how the 2012-13 New Jersey Nets look on paper. They have one of the best young centers in the NBA entering restricted free agency in Brook Lopez. They have a former All-Star on the wing in Gerald Wallace. They have one of the best three-point shooters in the league in Anthony Morrow, and they have an exciting rookie coming into his own in MarShon Brooks. Jordan Farmar likely exercises his option to return, so there's a decent backup point guard in the mix, and Johan Petro and Jordan Williams are under contract. Beyond that, the Nets have a significant amount of cap space to burn and an owner who isn't afraid to burn it.
What about Dallas? Despite seemingly sacrificing this season in favor of a big splash in 2012 free agency, the Mavs will be at or near the salary cap without making any moves. The roster, as it stands today, includes Haywood, Marion, Dirk Nowitzki, Roddy Beaubois and Dominique Jones. Lamar Odom's $8.4 is non-guaranteed and clearly he won't be back, and Vince Carter and Brandan Wright can be waived inexpensively, as well. Still, even if they unloaded all of their non-guaranteed contracts the Mavs' roster pales in comparison to what New Jersey has in place.
Are Nowitzki and Williams a formidable enough duo to inspire free agents to head to Dallas to be a part of their championship parade?
Mark Cuban is an excellent salesman, but he may not be that good.
It will be interesting to see what happens. While Deron Williams is from Dallas and would love to play in front of his home town fans, there are plenty of NBA players from Dallas who have never worn and will never wear a Mavericks jersey. The lure of playing in Dallas will be a factor in Williams' decision, but it is unlikely to be the determining factor.
It will be up to Cuban to convince Williams that he has a better shot at a championship in Dallas than he would have in New Jersey, and that will take a maneuver more impressive than any break-away chair or staged WWE throw down.

I would take the game back to the retailer and explain the situation. If they refused to give you a refund the next option would be to contact 2K either by phone, Email, or snail mail. How ever your best option would be to phone 2K or send a snail mail.
Your last option if you don't get a response from the above or they wont give you a refund you should contact your consumer protection agency in your state.
Also it isn't your fault it is 2K fault for not having the internet requirement on the front of the box in large print. Even EA and UBI have this on the front cover of the box.

They are.
More and more console titles are being targeted for DLC. DLC is a strong weapon against the used game market as it increases the monetary investment for the initial user and decreases the money saved by the second buyer (as they get none of the DLC the initial buyer purchased).
Of course, there are even more devious schemes in place already. Mass Effect 2 shipped with a one-time use activation code for what amounted to a $15 DLC. The initial buyer got it for free. Second-hand buyers had to shell out the $15 if they wanted the content. Thus, if you are willing to ignore the content, there is no downside to a second-hand purchase. However, if you want that content, then the used price needs to drop to at least $15 below the current retail price in order to actually save you money.
I returned my V to Future Shop and stood patiently toe-to-toe with the manager who only wanted to offer me store credit until he finally gave me a refund. This whole Mickey Mouse Steam load is nuts. If they ever decide to do a normal load, I'll be back athe sales counter buying in again. Till then, it's Hasta la Vista, baby!
Sorry, I don't know what buying 'console' means. All I know is that all my previous CIV releases were a snap to install. Now, it's taken up a life of its own. Frankly, I have better things to do than try to work my way through the smoke and mirrors of a Steam install.
The point I see here is one of customer respect.
It is unimportant who or what errors were made.
What I see here is that (given the story here) Steam is unwilling to do anything to make this right. It would cost Steam no more than the lost current sale to please a long time customer, and keep that customer buying in the future.
This attitude may be prevalent in some places, but is not acceptable where I live. Local retailers want happy return customers. Even the much maligned Walmart offers "satisfaction guaranteed", and one of Sam Waltons quotes is that a he wanted happy customers coming back often, even if they made less from them each visit.
A company can only screw me once, but 10, 20, or 30 years of repeat business is very profitable.
Thanks. But I just unhooked my computer, and tranported the thing across town to use my brother's net connection real quick.
Well, by d/l the game, and coming back and hooking it up all over again, it wouldn't work on offline mode!
So, I had to unhook the entire system a SECOND time, and drive across town again, hook it up, and start the game up, just to be able to play in offline mode.
Then, packed the system up again for the fourth time, and went back home, and hooked it back up.
All, after spending $40 on the game. Took me three days, and loads of pain in the ass just to play a stupid game.
In any case, Civ 5 is pretty cool. Just, 2k absolutely has GOT to place the damned requirements front and center on their cover, in order to save a lot of time, energy, and headaches!
I have read nearly this entire thread. I am new to steam only for the purpose of playing Civ V. I have owned every release. My question is do I need the disk? I have seen mention of the fact that the disk is only used in the initial install, but it seems this can be done if I purchase directly from Steam. I played the demo and liked the game except it moved very very slowly. Will having the disk solve that problem?
Thanks, and my apologies if I missed this point addressed somewhere else.
Activation over internet is currently standart for almost all games. It might be good idea to contact you University IT department and ask them to allow Steam on their network - if your proposal have support from enough student it will have decent chance of success.
Not sure about possibility of mobile connection in USA (here in EU I can get unlimited data plan for 35 per month), but it might also be good option.
Nah, I don't like the idea of a mobile plan. Most of them are too slow, or get too bogged down.
I mean, I don't necessarily oppose the idea of using Steam. I just think if a company is going to produce a game that is to be sold on the shelf, they need to do one of the following:
1. Print on the front, and quite prominently, the fact that an active connection to outside servers (such as Steam) is required to install the game.
2. Provide server space, or mirror sites to d/l the game, directly over the web. Ever hear of the game called Out of the Park Baseball? That's how they do it.
3. Provide the means to install directly from the disc, as traditionally done.
The director of student housing at my school will be in tomorrow. She was on vacation, so I couldn't ask her about it yet. But like I said in my first post, I am more upset with the school for blocking all of the network ports, than I am with 2k.
Thank you for the clarification on the disk not being needed. Will having the disk do anything to improve the speed of the game, or does it run off of steam's system after being installed (excluding playing offline, of course)?
Any benefit to actually having the disk?
Thank you. So it seems there is really no need/benefit to having the disk.
I use a Macbook with parallels running Windows 7. So far it seems to generally give me the best of both worlds.
My eyes are too old to find the download button for Steam! It takes at least a minute to download the game! It takes too many clicks to go Steam icon>Library>Civ V, or double-click the shortcut I can make on my desktop, or single-click the icon in the Start menu, or highlight Civ V through Steam in the Start menu! I also live in the Stone Age so I don't have Internet access! Change gives me diarrhea!
This is what half of you sound like. Is it annoying to be required to get a program and account just to play a game (like some games requiring you to get a Windows Live account, or GameSpy), but it's necessary. Likewise, it's childish to refuse to buy a game for such a stupid, low-hassle reason. Not to mention Steam is an amazing program headed by probably the world's best game developer company (see The Escapist poll here).
Steam has 30 million users (as compared to Xbox Live's 25 million), and has seen sales grow 100+% for six years straight. It has 1200 games for sale, and continually has amazing deals (although they frequently do not convert USD to Euro form (which can be the publisher's decision and not Valve's) and so many games can be expensive for Europeans). They're doing something right, and it's certainly not the Civ V "ploy."
Also, you can create/burn a hard copy of the game through Steam if you want.
/end fanboi rant?
Yes, it does take at least a minute to load Steam. It certainly took me at least a minute...or three...or 180. Then I was finally ready to load Civ V and run it...after a minute...or three...or NEVER. I gave up after a few hours.
You can talk all you want about the 1000's of games out there that use Steam; you can expound liberally about this land of magic; but all I want is to run a single %%%@@@*** game, Civ V. And I can't do it. So, frankly, Steam can get stuffed. As for it being 'necessary' to have Steam, why? It wasn't necessary for all previous Civ versions. What makes it necessary now?
As for burning a copy of the game via Steam, fuhgedaboudit. I think for many of us, the world pf pc gaming has finally been totally taken over by the techie-types who revel in the challenge of making an abortion of a process into a work of art. Me, I'm too old for that kind of brain overload. I enjoy watching The Big Bang Theory. I don't want to be part of it.
1) One minute to download it. It takes me 20 seconds to bring the application up.
2) You're right, Steam doesn't work immediately for a small number of the people who use it (probably just don't know how to use it), therefore it's the devil incarnate. It wasn't necessary to have a legal system back in the day, but then someone decided getting murdered kind of sucks. It's called "change," or if that word is deluded for you due to American politics, "forward progress." Valve and 2K made a deal.
3) I'm not trying to insult your lack of modern computer skills; (I can use semi-colons, too!) however I am presenting to you a solution for your "problem" (aka phobia) of not having a physical copy of something you "own."
The success of Steam, Civ V, and a lot of other factors is user ability and computer/machine power (coupled with Internet connection speed/quality).
Don't recall the Civ 5 box saying broadband needed. Then again the box was fairly circumvent on what was REALLY required to play the game in the first place.
But thanks for telling us Rebel44 how we should do things, Are you perhaps sending out checks to pay for the "real" internet connection?

You should stop telling people what to do and how to play their PAID FOR products.Originally Posted by some clown
Listen, buddy. If you could realize the fact that your beloved program is stealing all your ownership and gives complete control to the publishers, you would stop advertising that cataclysmic program and fight against it, like any rational person does. It's always the buyer's fault, never the program's. I agree that the buyers make a giant mistake: buying games which use steam to restrict access to their investments.
Also, please note that "change" is not always for the best. So stop supporting changes like you have no choice. If they pass a law tomorrow to require you to be raped each time you want to play your games, would you support "change" the same way?
And the DVD back-up is completely useless without the program. You have to be connected to the internet AGAIN each time you want to install the game. What a load of crap. I don't need to ask permission to USE SOMETHING I HAVE PAID FOR.
Where people live doesn't concern you. If a person pays for something, he should be able to use it whenever he wants. Fighting for the freedom to use your products is not childish. Blindly supporting a company that deliberately locks and holds your games hostages IS.
Who cares about obscure polls that obsessed fanboys like you immediately assault to defend their precious company that keeps all their games hostages? It's just like paying to get raped. "HERE, HAVE MY MONEY AND YOU TELL ME WHEN I CAN PLAY, OK?". How about you buy a car that you can only drive after you phone to the car company to ask permission? You would like that, wouldn't you? And if the car company closes, you can no longer use your car.
steam is a plague on PC gaming that is (be)headed by the worst company ever to appear in the industry because it tries to take away all the control FROM YOU. You can't do ANYTHING without them spying on you and your PC.
Have fun while you can with this apocalyptic program, because when it finally shuts down you will realize no one will give a crap about the fact that you just lost thousands of dollars worth of games that you will NEVER play again.
By the way, your user name is ironic. It should be "BULLSH*T" because that's all you said in your entire post.
Strange how times have changed: didn't we all just love to slam Microsoft (and any other company that got too big for its boots)? Microsoft used to be the devil. Now, if you're big and abuse your customers you "must be doing something right" and everybody who falls foul obviously deserved it. If you don't have the minimum requirements for living in the year 2010 - superfast broadband and a Steam account (with credit card, etc.) - then you quite clearly don't deserve to play Civ V. Despite having already paid for it.
Funny. Console games are licenses too, but you don't see crap like requiring internet to play them and tie them to bloatware programs that spy on your computer. You should think about that before you embarass yourself even more.
By the way, it's spelled "LICENSE". Repeat after me: L I C E N S E.
Actually, you do.
Digital titles on the XBox360 require an internet connection and an XBox Live account. They are activated through a process very similar to Steam. The big difference is that they are stored on a platform which you are given drastically less access than PCs allow. However, the same process still occurs. The purchase is revalidated for updates. Time playing the game is tracked by centralized servers. They require the internet just as much as Steam does.
Bloatware? What sort of criteria makes something bloatware? I suppose its the same as the people who define Steam as "malware", namely: "Software that I don't like". Certainly its not this definition and this doesn't seem to describe it either. The Steam client acts as a store, a game library manager, and a multiplayer support tool. To that end... it's basically Gamespy and a store. Or Battle.net and... nothing. Or XBox Live.
As far as actual software bloat goes, Steam is actually pretty lean. Not only is it a small application without loads of capabilities that users haven't asked for, it consumes a small amount of memory, hints the OS to swap it out when memory is running low, and doesn't eat up extra disk space with temp files or collections of DLLs.
Steam is less bloated than the majority of software in the world.
Steam "spies" on your computer less than Windows does and, unlike Windows, gives you the choice to opt out of the "spying". Considering the fact that it not only tells you that its about to "spy" on your computer, but then proceeds to show you all the information it gathered, where the information is going to be displayed, and supplies a link to the (legally binding) privacy policy protecting the use of the "spied" data, one might begin to wonder exactly what your definition of "spying" is.
A metaphorical skit:
Adam: Hey, Bob, can I have your phone number?
Bob: Sure. It's on the fridge.
Adam: Is this it? 999.555.1337?
Bob: Yes, that's right.
Adam: Cool. I'm just using this for a spreadsheet I'm making? I'm counting the number of people in the 999 area code. He's a signed contract stating that I'm not going to give anyone else your phone number. Want a copy of the spreadsheet?
Bob: NO! QUIT SPYING ON ME!
Then Adam walks away, wishing that he had fewer friends who were on drugs.
Actually, it's worse. Much worse. Civ5 is sold as a subscription which isn't like pretty much every game sold in the last 10+ years. I didn't cave in to the marketing and buy this game. I wish other people would have done the same. From the looks of it I think it's safe to say this game is the Windows Vista of the Civilization series.
Well, I do agree with your post, for the most part, except that with any intellectual property, you agree to pay a licensing fee in order to use said intellectual property. You can never "own" said property.
If I take a photograph and place it one a free photostock web site, anyone who wants to use that photo without the copyright watermarks all over it, and in higher resolution, must pay a licensing fee. I still own it, no matter if you paid a fee to use it or not, and you are not free to do whatever you want with it, such as distribute it around for profit. You need a contract for a commission in order to make a profit off a photo someone else takes, and you still only jointly "own" it with said artist.
In any case, I do agree that it is inherently bad to sell a game on the shelf without specifying that you need an active internet connection. Even worse for those (beyond their control) who cannot connect to servers, due to restriction from their ISP (like in my situation.)

When it comes to going away to college, there are a lot of expenses. There is not only tuition but living on your own. There's rent, food, entertainment, phone bills, and more. Because of these many expenses, many students are looking for ways to cut costs. One of the best ways is to stay home while attending college. Here are some tips on how to do this:
Attending a Local College
Whether you're looking into getting a bachelor degree or a master degree, by going to a college or university in your area, you'll be able to stay at home. Your parents will likely expect you to pitch in for food and/or rent, but it won't be nearly as much as you'd pay for a dorm room and on-campus meal plan. If the colleges in your area don't have the right program for you, consider taking your general education classes there and transferring to a college that does have the right program later on.
Getting a Degree Online
Another option is to attend college classes online. This is especially important if you don't have any schools in your area. There are many accredited online programs through prestigious schools that will provide the same education that you would find on campus. However, by attending online, you'll be cutting out a lot of the costs including the cost of a car and gas.
Whether you attend online or in person, staying at home while going to college is a great way to save money.

I like Cat's Pride... good price, clumping stuff. Bought a big 20 lb bag at Big Lots... NOT the same stuff. Very coarse... NOT clumping?? It'll be used to de-slick any snow/ice I get this winter!! | |||
I use Fresh step, multi cat from Costco. I can get the 42lb bag when it's on sale for under $10.00. It clumps well and is good on odor control. However, it's really dusty. I think about switching, but not sure what to go with. | ||||
Jonny Cat Multiple Cat Unscented was my choice for many years but it disappered from the shelves a couple of years ago so, after trying nearly every other product on the market except the very expensive "boutique" ones, I've settled on Tidy Cat... My criteria is a no-odor product that is UNSCENTED (absolutely cannot stand those scented ones), dust-free and relatively low cost as the manufacturer has coupons and stores often put it on sale. With six indoor cats and scooping all 7 boxes, at least once a day, affordability is important; what's more important is that it gets the job done and all of my cats like it. | ||||
I use the PetSmart house brand, unscented clumping. Big Lots often gets manufacturer's seconds. And they sometimes carry counterfit goods, stuff not really made by the company on the label. The Cat's Pride from your normal supplier may be the the good stuff you remember. | ||||

This is a question i saw asked over on ign & thought it was good enough for you guys to chew over. Here's my thoughts...
CoD: CoD is THE Daddy of shooters this gen. CoD 2 was there at the 360 launch & CoD 4 dominated both 360 & PS3 playlists.
It is the benchmark franchise all over games are compared to, for good or ill & a game every gamer knows.
Angry Birds: Its our generations Tetris. A game that like CoD everyone knows, that probably everyone has played. From a cheep (Arf!) App on mobile phones, to multimillion dollar franchise with a Star Wars tie-in.
Arguably the single reason people think of ios as a gaming platform.
Minecraft: A game that rewrote the rules. A seemingly simple sandbox playground that started as a pc beta & that recently knocked CoD off the top spot of the Live playlist.
A breath-taking achievement, when you consider how much EA has spent trying to do the same.
I look at the Minecraft beta & I see the inspiration for kickstarter.
If i have to pick one it'd be CoD. It appeals to millions from all ages & all walks of life... Its the T-Rex that stomps around the console jungle... But we all know what happened to the dinosaurs...
They ruled for thousands of years!! :b

The unsung hero in gyms around the world is the spotter. It is a lonely and difficult job. While the lifter gets all the glory and the girls, all the spotter gets is "Thanks dude, I should have made that lift". Imagine how humbling it is to line up behind another man while he is doing a full squat and perform your "spot the squat" job.
It is rumored that Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs will try the thankless job of spotting in a future episode.
(Thanks, Scott)!

Ubisoft is delivering a slate of more than 40 action-packed games to Steam, including Assassin's Creed and the Tom Clancy series. Two fan favorites are now available to customers in Canada and the United States: the acclaimed action shooter, Far Cry, and the debut game in the groundbreaking stealth action series, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell. Save 10% on either game when you buy before Tuesday, April 8th. Starting today, the PC version of Assassin's Creed is available for pre-purchase. Be one of the first to play the highly-awaited PC adaptation of the console hit—complete with four bonus missions unique to the PC release—when it releases on April 9th. Over the coming weeks, Ubisoft will bring many of its award-winning brands to Steam, including games from the Tom Clancy series, the Heroes of Might & Magic series, the IL-2 Sturmovik collection, and many more. The Ubisoft line-up on Steam will be the largest library of titles available from any single publisher or developer. Source: Steam
That it did. Just makes the release date for Assassin's Creed more solid. Def picking that up next week. From the screenshots on Steam, it looks as they Altair has a bow since he has arrows on his back. Wonder if thats one of the things they implemented in the PC version since its lacking in the Xbox version. I hope so.
Steam's such a shite platform, despite its' mass-usage. I don't appreciate having to load something online to play games I've bought on disc.
lol, so you want to be infected with viruses? Games on DVD/CD = got crappy copy protection that kinda hides viruses just like sony BMG rootkit
Steam is good, compared to todays copy right protection and services. You dont have to keep track of CDs, it install updates as they come, it is backed up with a great community system, etc. Its a simple, light weight game delivery system, which comes with a powerful protection system...
not much of a fan of steam myself but i dont play CS anymore anyway so like i give 5f*cks I pitty the fool who has to use steam
Why trash it if you don't use it?! You probably read too much negative propaganda about Steam... I live in Romania and Steam is the only way to buy original games without having to pay extra for originals CDs and DVDs (game prices are not regulated here, so a typical game can cost 20% to 30% more that the usual EU price if bought in stores). Also, I use Steam because I can play TF2 at home and at work in the launch break, without having to lug around discs or use "almost" legal no-disc "patches"... Oh yeah, you can play without being online...
why trash it if i dont use it?? i can trash it because i HAVE used it - whats the point of trashing it if i dont use it??? & why must I read propogander when i can tell the difference from a nicely worked system from a STEAMing pile of shit on my screen? this is a bit of a conundrum - its like knowing how read when you've been blind since birth.
LOL You can download/play your game everywhere, you dont need your crappy disk to start the game always updated version... etc
I have used steam and well, i think its crap when i have the disc but still have to download most of the game to play it. that is shit. I can understand if you download the game after buying it online, but if i bought the dvd why should i download more shit just to play the fracken thing.
I HAVE USED STEAM and it sucks, the point isnt that they use protection, its that you gotta be online to play singel player portions of games, so if ur on a long trip and you want to crack open some halflife2 or whatever you have to CRACK your ligit version of the game to play it........thats why i dumped it, i got sick of having to crack shit that i payed for. as to those protections, you do know they can include secrom or starforce or many of the other driver based protections in downloaded content dont you? check bf2 or 2142, i think those where 2 of the games that had the protection on the DEMO versions(what a crock!!!) now nobody i know of is still using starfarce, and the other 2 arent that bad(safedisk/securom) they arent great but they at least work as intended without causing hardware damnage!!! all the protection even/especly stuff like steam is cracked so fast that it dosnt matter that they protect it, if you know where to look ANY game that comes out has a crack to dissable the protection given some time on the more extream cases, but anyway, DRM NEVER WORKS, thats why stardock the makers of Galactic Civilizations II, and sins of a solar empire are NOT PROTECTED, read the linked artical, im suprised it didnt make news here. basickly the guy in charge makes a hugely good point about pc gaming. pc's are a great game platform, the problems is that game companys spend to much time building for the top 1% and not the other 99% of their market, they dont make games that anybody can play they make shit like crysis that most cant play decently without a massive hardware upgrade. and that protection only hurts those who payed for the game, pirats arent effected by the protection and 'pirats dont count" because they arent the ones giving you the $. personaly i know alot of ppl who only buy unprotected games, im not one of them, i refused to buy a game that i cant just use when i want to use it, without the orignal disk or on the road, alot of people feel the same way, hence the sales of stardocks games have HUGE sales, look at the numbers, they get NO publicity really unlike crysis and such, but they are top selling games of the years they come out, like sims, no publicity really but ungoddly popular!!!!!(i hate sims but meh to each their own)
set it to do not automatically update, done,no more 'needs internet connection' bullshit, worked for me when i had no internet access AT ALL for 6 months
its buggy, i know people who still have some games requier cracks Grings, its better then it was at first, but its worse then it could/should be. really they could make it WORLDS better if they just followed stardocks example and accepted that those who matter are those who pay, not those who pirat, many of us refuse to pay for stuff thats got protection because it dosnt fuck over pirats, it ONLY fucks over those who PAYED for the game. think about it, if you pay 40-70 for a game(normal us priaces as of last week) then you get hope install it and find out the games protection dosnt work with your system how are you gonna feel? im gonna be pissed, as i have been in the past, then i patch the game up, and in some cases like NWN2 it was pushed out to fast and the updates dont even work properly(wtf is that) then i gotta hunt down a crack to make the game load because the protection dosnt like my system/os/drivers/WTFE, it just gets old, I still buy games on the rare ocation that had protection, but i get them used of uber bargin bim(5bucks or around that) because i refuse to pay for a game im gonna endup having to crack anyway. good example, i bought breed, was playing having a good time, all of a sudden i couldnt go any farther then the game locked, after some searching around i disscovered that it was part of the protection, it used triggers at various events in game, now i OWNED the game, payed good$ for it, but still had to hunt down cracks because even the patches for the game didnt let me get past XX point, they wanted me to remove all burning software even nero, as well as revert to ms drivers for my ice/sata controlers, in the end it was EASYER to just crack it and remove the protection driver(using a remove tool i had to torrent to get because at the time they didnt have one published for pub use!!!) blah, i get so sick of protection, hence i just get stuff thats not, less hassle all around
ooh wow such a bad negativity towards steam. Oh and yeah for those who are arguing the whole you need to be online thing well recently with the latest updates on Steam you can play your single player games Offline without the access of internet. And also Steam is a good program because i can use both on my laptop when i am way on a trip so i can play a few games i have there.
they are getting better but there are still reports of some games asking for a net connection even after u tell them not to, do some googling if you need to. steam is better then it was, but its still got issues, eventuly they may work them all out, but im not gonna hold my breath. saying steams flawless is like saying steam games are uncrackable
Never said that Steam was perfect. It does have its flaws alright. Also for the other games that want a Net connection i havent really re-searched it because all of my games worked fine in Offline mode. (besides those like TF2 and CSS that need Multi)
This is great accept for one thing us poor sucker Aussies cant get Assasin Creed from Steam thanks to it being available to US and Canada. Us Aussies miss out again thanku very much so im gonna have to pay the mega ripoff price weel get here at the shops not happy Jan
Ok, now that you mentioned you actually used Steam before saying it was s***, your argument is getting "better", just remember to actually say that when you make a statement about a product! That will stop people from asking you embarrassing questions like the one I asked in my previous post...
well... in that case.... why the hell did i even bother to mention that I use to play CS (Counter Strike) in a 'steam' thread???? i know you love steam but please ease up on the catnip. your either not bothering to read what i type or your reading it but you no be understanding it & thefore flaming me for no aparant reason because you cant put 2 & 2 together & work out for yourself what im REALLY trying to say.... Who else here thought that I was refering to CS 1.6 (the non steam version) ????? the statement is all there the only problem is that you fails to understands it

Tripping Through the Cold War: Drug Warfare in the Retrofuture
Chemical warfare is nothing new. As early as 428 BC the Spartans were burning wood soaked in resin and sulfur for use against their enemies. And the First World War is often remembered for its horrific deaths due to mustard gas. But the mid-20th century ushered in a new futuristic chemical weapon: LSD.
Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), mescaline (peyote), and psilocybin (psychedelic mushrooms) were all seen as possible contenders for non-lethal weapons of the future; sprayed on an unsuspecting army or civilian population and making them vulnerable to invasion.
An Associated Press story from the September 6, 1959 Cedar Rapids Gazette in Iowa warned that the nuclear stalemate with the Soviet Union might prompt the Russians to develop chemicals that could be used against the United States. Americans scientists were said to have developed their own weapons to counter-attack.
Working in deep secrecy, U.S. scientists almost overnight have developed an arsenal of fantastic new weapons, variously known as psycho-chemicals and "madness" gases, which could virtually paralyze an enemy nation without firing a shot.
Interestingly, the article doesn't name the chemicals, instead calling them "madness gases" or surgical anesthetics:
By way of definition, chemical warfare embraces the use of such compounds as the psycho-chemicals to create hallucinations in the enemy's mind or the deadly nerve gases and other toxic substances to kill.
Some of the new chemicals act much faster than ether, the anesthetic used to put surgical patients to sleep, and have an effect lasting 24 to 48 hours. One means of dispersal is a newly developed "smoke ginny" with which 2 men can lay a blanket of chemical fog over an area 5 miles long and 200 yards wide.
The February 28, 1960 edition of the Sunday comic strip "Closer Than We Think" by Arthur Radebaugh pulled this idea from the headlines and illustrated it in the picture above. The strip quotes Lt. Gen Arthur Trudeau from the U.S. Army as warning that the Soviets are developing weaponized versions of "psycho-chemicals" and that the U.S. should follow suit:
New nerve drugs may be used to immobilize whole cities or battle areas in tomorrow's warfare. The Chemical Corps knows about a complete arsenal of "nerve gases" that can make fighting men and embattled citizenry as happy and peaceable as kids playing tag.
Lt. Gen. Arthur Trudeau, chief of Army research and development, is worried about possible attacks with these drugs. He fears the United States might become a victim. "The Soviet [Union] has 15% of its munitions in chemicals," he said. "I think psycho-chemicals are the coming weapon — we are missing out if we don't capitalize on them."
The 1981 children's book World of Tomorrow: War and Weapons by Neil Ardley also illustrated what a psycho-chemical attack might look like, with soldiers believing they're being hunted by giant flying pterodactyl-like creatures:
This isn't a scene from a science fiction story in which flying monsters take over the world. It is a view of a future battle as seen through the eyes of a defending soldier. He and his fellow troops reel back as invading aircraft fire shells containing chemicals. The chemicals are drugs that produce dream-like reactions or hallucinations in people. The soldiers see the aircraft turning into flying monsters and the buildings bend over, and they flee in terror. Invading forces protected from the effects of the drugs will soon arrive easily take over the city.

didn't Aldiss write a quintessential novel about lsd in the water supply in the sixties?
Nice little spin on this subject.
The author is either naive or…what?
Worthy of mention here would be MK Ultra…as well as R. Gordon Wasson and his CIA ties.
But then again, that would go way to deep for this "science" publication.
A bunch of crap.
You fail.
Do just a little research into the person and the program mentioned.
You don't need me to do that.
@Matt…I'm not disputing your facts in your article. It's what is left out.
You left out MK Ultra. And I gave you a name: R. Gordon Wasson.
And by the way Matt, I'm no expert either, but the subject you write about warrants mention of the CIA's obsession with mind control during this period…specifically involving psychedelics.
Okay Matt, I think my info submitted is relevent to your story in that it involves our own use (meaning our CIA's) of these potential weapons (including LSD) on unwilling "subjects" during the period that the CIA program MK Ultra is officially acknowledged.
Here are a few quick wiki quotes to get you started:
Project MKULTRA, or MK-ULTRA, was the code name for a covert, illegal CIA human experimentation program, run by the CIA's Office of Scientific Intelligence. This official U.S. government program began in the early 1950s, continued at least through the late 1960s, and used U.S. and Canadian citizens as its test subjects.[1][2][3][4]
The published evidence indicates that Project MKULTRA involved the use of many methodologies to manipulate people's individual mental states and alter brain functions, including the surreptitious administration of drugs and other chemicals, hypnosis,[5] sensory deprivation, isolation, verbal and sexual abuse, as well as various forms of torture.
Project MKULTRA was first brought to wide public attention in 1975 by the U.S. Congress, through investigations by the Church Committee, and by a presidential commission known as the Rockefeller Commission. Investigative efforts were hampered by the fact that CIA Director Richard Helms ordered all MKULTRA files destroyed in 1973; the Church Committee and Rockefeller Commission investigations relied on the sworn testimony of direct participants and on the relatively small number of documents that survived Helms' destruction order.[6]
This began a decade before Lt. Gen Arthur Trudeau is quoted warning that the Soviets are developing weaponized versions of "psycho-chemicals" and that the U.S. should follow suit.
My point, I guess, is that this research had already been happening most likely since right after WW2, and upon an unwilling populace.
Gen Trudeau was most likely very aware of this fact.
If you were genuinely unaware of these declassified facts, then my apologies for the sarcasm of earlier comments. But I stand by my statements that if you are going to write an article about this subject in this magazine, not mentioning this very acknowledged, albeit unpopular CIA program, does the readers a disservice.
@Matt the MK ULTRA program ties in with this blog post in the sense that it was a covert CIA program designed to investigate the effects of psychoactive substances upon the human body and how they could be utilized in interrogating foreign nationals and persons of interest to the US government. As you correctly stated in the post there was a very real fear in the US intelligence community that the USSR had developed instruments capable of interfering with people's thought processes and that the US, in order to better protect itself against this threat needed to instigate its own research program. MK ULTRA was such a program. MK ULTRA contravened many human rights in the sense that these substances, in many instances, were tested upon subjects without their prior knowledge. I believe that President Clinton officially apologized, on behalf of the US government, to the victims of this program in 1994.
Thank you for your input on this subject. This was precisely my point…I would also reiterate that it relates directly to the blog in that the program was well underway during the period that Matt is writing about.
I have the feeling that Matt is not very interested. Any readers who are interested should do their own research…there is quite a bit that has been written about MK Ultra. I don't understand how someone who was unaware wouldn't find it fascinating…or at the least interesting.
I hope Matt wasn't discouraged from looking into it because of my initial scorn at what I saw as a shallow article about an important subject. Re-reading the article a couple of times, I saw it as a great lead into discussing the MK-Ultra program.
@Matt, no hard feelings…keep writing, and I hope you at least take a few minutes to read just the Wiki article about it. It's not bad…at least as of last night lol. -
Matt, Thanks for the article. Jason and Merv, thanks for the follow up. It's welcome when things work this way and information is expanded. At this point I'd like to say something really profound, alas, profoundness has escaped me.
The CIA seems to have made a massive experiment on the city of Pont St Esprit, in France, without any advert. There's some individual stories in Paris too. Some very afraid people by the effects of LSD, thinking they became crazy. Some very durable effects too.
Matt, you should also know that the MK Ultra program is believed by many to be behind the murder of John Lennon. The C.I.A. was found guilty in France for using near lethal doses of LSD on artists and musicians who were deemed a threat to our interests, in one instance a man jumped to his death due to C.I.A. poisoning with LSD. The city in France where they intentionally dosed the water supply was then turned into a propaganda piece handed to Congress to justify funding of research and counter-weapons claiming that North Korea had developed a mass-manufacture facility for LSD and was planning attacks inside the United States. Our wacko government even went as far as to justify elimination of the right to bear firearms due to the perceived threat of a mass LSD outbreak caused by terrorist attack and the difficulty in controlling armed citizens on psychedelics. Our military creates a terrorist threat then lies about it and tries to muster support for Constitutional amendments based on their insanity under the pretense that if "we" can do it so can "they"…ooooooh…Contact Disinfo or Cryptome for more declassified information on this subject matter.
Holograms in the sky have a significant effect (project bluebeam)
Timothy Leary ties in the the subject a few commenters were pointing you towards (the LSD movement of the 60′s). The illustration at the top reminds me of some other similar artwork from the period involving mind control. I herd abot a scary plant extract called scopalomine,,,very scary, I heard they messed with that and many synthetic hallucinogens and amnesiacs. I know of someone who had a 3 day amnesiac event from a popularly-prescribed muscle relaxer. Chemicals being poured everywhere from spraying the skies to poisonous chemical-filled water and food also produce the effect of birth defects and cancers. I doubt the proliferation and contamination stops soon enough.
Excellent article, btw
The is Paleo-Future. The theme of the blog is "The future that never was." It's about the popular imagination of the past, regarding the future. If you go down the archive of this blog you may find photos and articles about flying cars with radar dishes, or floating cities for the year 1981 or some other year in the 20th century. We all know they did not happen or that other things more weighty vaguely connected to the topic actually did happen. So please, if you want to use the blog topic as a jumping off point to share that information don't preface it by insulting the writer of this blog. Important as it may be what you have to share, remember, if it's historically accurate then it's already extraneous material.
To Matt Novak..and as a follow-up to the postings of Jason..please look up the latest info regarding a very strange incident from 1951..in a French town of Point -Saint-Espirit. The residents went 'mad ' and hallucinated wildly..and all was blamed on a local baker and bread-mould.
Now, more than 60 years later, it turns out it was a CIA experiment to find out how common villagers would react to LSD…and yes..this was an MK ULTRA -type exercise…and done in collaboration with Sandoz ..a Swiss chem firm.
But don't take my [our] word for it..check with..let's see..who do you journalists respect as sources…oh..how about the BBC? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-10996838 -
Who said it was OK to target unarmed civilians?
Whether it is dosing them w LSD, or other drugs, or bombing them w depleted uranium, who said it is an acceptable tactic of war to target unarmed women, children, old people and everyday normal working people living their lives, not hurting anyone, and trying to get by????Who said they could get away with spraying anything on someone's baby?
Why is that not an issue that anyone considers?
BTW, I always said they only targeted people of different races. If they were white, they targeted only brown people. But, they did it to white people in Dresden.
So, they really don't care about any color of people they target. That means they hate all people, equally. Maybe they can be proud of that because they can pretend they are not racist, but only classist. War mongers are psychopaths. When they are running a war, they are joyous and happy at the countless death and destruction they cause, and call it patriotism.
Is it me or does that picture portray the twin towers being destoyed!!! Oh yes it does, two bending towers, one already hit and breaking in half and a trinagular plane flying in towards the one that is standing.
Good lord, the naivete of some posters who think they're dropping knowledge is incredible. MKUltra is common knowledge, you're not breaking any new ground there. Scopolamine (sp?) is a well known motion-sickness medication which has been used in interrogations for decades and you're just now finding out about it? The fellow who jumped out of the window was, regrettably, a CIA employee. The CIA gave musicians "near lethal" doses of LSD??? Do you know what the LD-50 in humans of LSD is? That's right, you don't. You don't even know what LD-50 is. The original article had a particular scope and was just fine. You wannabe experts are not helping.
katz: That's probably why this hasn't actually happened. The human rights violations backlash from poisoning innocent (albeit enemy) civilians would be gargantuan.
Who wants to take a bet that the U.S. government intentionally released LSD in the United States during the sixties to hippies hoping it would either make them mentally unstable, psychotic or at the very least hijack the peace movement turning it into an excuse to get high and party. By following the Grateful Dead and continuing to this very day the "movement" they have removed a potential threat to military spending and replaced it with the Drug War and endless jobs for Federal and State law enforcement. So it worked as planned.
To Mr. Hughes: Nigga puh-lease! You obviously do not care for the real scoop on this story being related… I would guess the VAST majority of Americans do not know what MK is or that it is currently being used against US citizens… though as a gateway to MK, this article is not bad… if a bit apologetic… I like el cid… Ken Kesey said in an interview it was one of the great cosmic jokes that the CIA was responsible for opening so many closed and ignorant minds by releasing it into the public (abuses aside, it has incredible abilities to cure alcoholism and other mental problems.) As for MK Ultra, the real methods require a lot more than psychodelics… they use a drug that prevents you from passing out, then they kill you by drowning, then they revive… eventually they split the personality and viola'…
YOU ALL need to get spiritual and realize a much bigger pic than some agency or other… Youtube: Douglas Duane Dietrich; Dannion Brinkley; and read Pistis Sophia, and Edgar Cacye's pertaining to the Essenes and Christ… principalities, yo… -
Matt for what it's worth I actually enjoyed this piece precisely because it didn't go for the more obvious MK ULTRA macro-level 'secret' history approach to this type of schtick.
In fact being all too aware of the mindbending military/industrial conspiratorial/counter-espionage I found your micro-level social history revelations slightly shocking.
I mean a 1959 edition of the Cedar Rapids Gazette warning about the use of "madness" gases is as startling in its own way as the little known local rag the Roswell Daily Record printing a 1947 story about the capture of a flying disk – especially since the Gazette's story's been vindicated many times over – whereas the Record's…
Even the 1960 Closer Than We Think feature (which resembles something written by Grant Morrison in 2012!) becomes all the more startling when you realise it's aimed at precisely the sort of kids who'd grow up to pursue researches in precisely these fields (as opposed to being positioned in a major national newsheet by way of influencing public opinion).
Matt. I think the lesson here is: have a point when you put up articles like this. Your article had a bunch of "facts" that are laid out with any cohesive thesis as to why they are being spun together in a story. Did you just want to seem hip and cool by mentioning drugs? YOU HAVE NO CONCLUSION. How did you get a job writing? I couldn't agree more with the misgivings people have over your article.
I gotta go with the herd here.
Seems like someone found some cool retro-pics and rather than just running them, felt they had to cut and paste some of the words from where they originally ran.
More than half of this is from other stuff, and when you add in the pics, it's more like 2/3.

Irys System provides deeper insights into genome variation for biomedical research and clinical genomics
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- BioNano Genomics announced today a $10 million financing to support the ongoing development and commercialization of the IrysTM System for human genome analysis. Current investors, Battelle Ventures, Domain Associates, Gund Investment Corporation, participated in the financing.
"BioNano Genomics has made significant progress in commercializing the Irys System first in the U.S. and then in China and Europe, to expand the global access to the power of its long-read capabilities," said Tracy Warren, general partner of Battelle Ventures. "We continue our support of BioNano so that scientists and clinicians will have better tools to investigate the clinical significance of genome variation."
"We have demonstrated that the Irys System can scale to larger, more complex genomes, including human," said Erik Holmlin, Ph.D., president and CEO of Bionano Genomics. "Our scientific achievements combined with this new financing pave the way to expand our commercialization efforts and the capabilities of Irys."
The Irys System allows direct observation of native genomic structure through imaging of extremely long molecules. This capability enables detection of structural variation and significantly improves genome assemblies and phasing haplotypes. This demonstrated ability of Irys to scale to large genomes is key to its utility throughout human genomics and epigenomics for biomedical disease research and diagnostic development.
About Irys
Irys makes it possible to routinely and accurately detect genomic structural variation and to finish genome assemblies. The fully automated Irys benchtop instrument uses the IrysChip to uncoil and confine long DNA molecules in proprietary Nanochannel Arrays™ where they are uniformly linearized in a highly parallel display for high-resolution, single-molecule imaging. Irys does not employ DNA fragmentation or amplification, which are typical with next-generation sequencing. The result is sequence information over extremely long "reads" ranging from hundreds of kilobases to a megabase, where the sample's valuable structural information is preserved. Irys makes it possible for researchers to directly observe structural variants including replications, deletions, translocations and inversions.
About BioNano Genomics
Headquartered in San Diego, BioNano Genomics is delivering an altogether better way of gaining a fully informed understanding of genomes. The Company's platform provides researchers and clinicians the most comprehensive, organized and actionable picture of a genome with unprecedented insights into how the individual components of genomes are ordered, arranged, and interact with each other. BioNano Genomics works with institutions in life science, translational research, molecular diagnostics and personalized medicine. The Company is supported by private investors and grant funding from genomics programs at federal agencies, including the NIH and NIST-ATP.

I guess everyone heard about this hostage rescue in Colombia? Crazy. That rebel group there.... after a while, do they even remember what they are fighting for? They've been trying to overthrow the Colombian government for 40 years...all they do is kidnap people. Either give the f*ck up, or get another plan. Stupid idiots. I was in Colombia last year.... don't think I'll be going back!
BOGOTA, Colombia (CNN) -- Secret agents posing as leftist rebels hoodwinked insurgents and freed 15 hostages from the jungles of Colombia by pretending an "international mission" was on its way to visit the hostages, authorities in Colombia say.

With diskless clusters you also need to be aware of the many ways to do it: - RAM root - where all of the OS is loaded in memory - NFS root - which is what a lot of people seem to call diskless - RamRoot/NFS root hybrid - where some directories like /root live on RAM and /usr lives on NFS for example. We really like RAM root for HPC because you can make a small image (150-300MB with InfiniBand) that is portable, has great performance and is easy to reproduce and update. The disadvantages are if you run multiple applications where some library may not be in the image. In that sense, using NFS root works better for those environments that run a lot of different applications. However, many large clusters I have worked with are dedicated to one single application and ram root fits the bill perfectly. Like Ashley said all the host name info is configured via DHCP. Many people also put arguments in the PXE boot file to help specify additional parameters. I think the old Red Hat stateless did NFSROOT= for example. I have also seen many other homegrown ones where they throw everything but the kitchen sink in as arguments. In addition for configuring other devices (like InfiniBand IP addresses) instead of just IPADDR=10.3.0.201 in the config file there would be some script: IPADDR=10.3.0.$(`hostname` | sed 's/node//') These seem to be the tricks I see on doing this. You may also want to look into two projects that do stateless/diskless booting: xCAT and Perceus. Both of them allow for all three methods described above. There may be others as well. Hope that helps some what.

Science Applications International Corp. will boost security systems at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing under a five-year contract valued of $17 million.
The single-award blanket purchase agreement calls for SAIC to provide an enterprise level, Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 compliant integrated security system for the bureau's Office of Acquisition, Information Technology and Services Contracting Division, according to a June 11 SAIC announcement.
The bureau, which designs and produces a variety of security products for the U.S. government, including currency for the Federal Reserve, operates two currency manufacturing facilities, in Washington, D.C. and in Fort Worth, Texas, each with independent legacy security systems.
Under the contract, SAIC will provide an integrated security system to replace the core physical security systems with a common technology platform that is both site independent and capable of back-up disaster recovery purposes.
SAIC also will provide design, replacement, installation, upgrade, maintenance and support of the new security system for physical and logical access to computers and networks.
The work will be performed primarily in Washington, D.C., McLean, Va., and Forth Worth.
SAIC, of McLean, Va., ranks No. 4 on Washington Technology's 2012 Top 100 list of the largest federal government contractors.
