Best Advertisement 4 Ever

"I can't follow you everywhere...!'

'Avoid using mobile phone while driving...'

Don't copy if you can't paste..!

Don't copy if you can't paste..!

A well-known motivational speaker gathering the entire crowd's attention, Said, "The best years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who Wasn't my wife!"

The crowd was shocked!!!!!!!!

He followed up by saying, "That woman was my mother!"

The crowd burst into laughter and he gave his speech, which was well Received.

About a week later, one of the top managers who had the training decided to use that joke at his house. He tried to rehearse the joke in his head. It was a bit foggy to him.

He said loudly, "The greatest years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who was not my wife!"

Naturally, his wife was shell shocked, murmuring.

After standing there for almost 10 seconds trying to recall the second half of the joke, the manager finally blurted out "... and I can't remember who she was !"

As expected, he got thrashing of his life time....

Moral: Don't copy if you can't paste..!

Be CAREFUL, If U use Cyber Cafe for Personal Use

Sounds dangerous, so if you travel a lot or uses cyber café for internet access, be careful!

A new device has been introduced to the marketplace that is a huge danger to anyone who uses a PC that is not theirs. It is known as a key tracker and it sits between the keyboard and the PC. As can be seen in the pictures it is very discreet but is probably one of the most dangerous items of equipment to personal information that is readily available. These devices record every key that is pressed on the keyboard. Due to it's position (it sits between the keyboard and the PC) the information is logged by the tracker before the PC knows about it and as such is very difficult for the PC to detect. They are available in both USB and PS2 formats so pretty much any PC can be logged. The user puts the tracker in line, leaves it there for a set amount of time and then retrieves it. They can then download the data onto their own PC.

If you intend to use a PC that is not yours (i.e. hotel business centre, internet café, airport etc) I would advise looking at the back of the PC to see if one of these trackers has been placed in line (scrambling under a desk is the better alternative to losing your email details). If you cannot get to see the back of the PC, I would suggest you don't use it for anything personal. If a tracker is there and you do not notice it, whoever placed it there (could be any user of that PC before you) will be able to recall all of your keystrokes – logins, passwords etc.

TAKE CARE OF U R PERSONAL DATA

WISH U ALL THE BEST

HOW TO SETUP DNS

Get the bind (or often called named) package installed on your distribution
Make sure you are root
Locate named.conf (could be in /etc or /etc/bind or /etc/named)
Edit that file according to your needs. Here are some things that you need in there:
```
options {
 ...
 forward first;
 forwarders {
     {THE_IP_ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_UPSTREAM_DNS_SERVER;}  ;
 };
 ...
};
...

zone "open-ims.test" IN {
 type master;
 file "pri/open-ims.dnszone";
 notify no;
};
...
```
On some distributions this file includes other files so be sure to dig through those also.
THE_IP_ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_UPSTREAM_DNS_SERVER can be found in /etc/resolv.conf.
Now copy the file /opt/OpenIMSCore/ser_ims/cfg/open-ims.dnszone to where you configure it above
(pri/open-ims.dnszone)
```
cp /opt/OpenIMSCore/ser_ims/cfg/open-ims.dnszone /var/bind/pri/
chown -R named:named /var/bind/pri/open-ims.dnszone
```
Then start or re-start the DNS server (remember that these configuration files are not monitored
for changes so you will have to send a SIGHUP or do a restart to reload them).
```
/etc/init.d/named restart
```
You should now test if it works. In the response look if you got the correct answer.
```
dig @127.0.0.1 pcscf.open-ims.test
```
To actually use it, you would need to configure it as a DNS server for your machine. Here is
how your /etc/resolv.conf file should look like:
```
# cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 127.0.0.1
search open-ims.test
domain open-ims.test
```
Remember that utilities like the DHCP-Client overwrite this file be default!
