The Symantec Employees Are Using Kaspersky!

Symantec is continuously brought in the spotlights and this is not due to its famous security solutions but to some funny incidents that took place at a recent conference at the company. As Virus Bulletin reported, it all happened at a special event where a Symantec presenter tried to introduce a new solution and describe its features using a PowerPoint file. However, the presentation was interrupted by an auto-update notification sent by the antivirus. If you're probably thinking that it was Norton Antivirus, you're wrong because it was Kaspersky. That's right, the big rival's solution!

Open SSH Server connection drops out after few or N minutes of inactivity

Basically this is a security feature. Ssh connection freezes or drops out after N minutes of inactivity. According to official OpenSSH man page:

“This is usually the result of a packet filter or NAT device timing out your TCP connection due to inactivity. For security, reason most enterprises only use SSH protocol version 2. This problem only occurred with version 2.”

If you work for long hours using ssh and left workstation for some other work, your connection will be dropped by remote server. This may be little annoying to you. So to get rid of this problem:

Chicken soup III

A little bird was flying south for the Winter. It was so cold the bird
froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there,
a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.
As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize
how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all
warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the
sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly
dug him out and ate him.

[b]Morals of the story:

Chicken soup II

A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the
top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."
"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull.
They're packed with nutrients."
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough
strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating
some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night,
the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.

Chicken soup I

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch
when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out.
The Genie says, "I'll give each of you just one wish."
"Me first! Me first!" says the admin clerk. "I want to be in the Bahamas,
driving a speedboat, without a care in the world."
Puff! She's gone.
"Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing
on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas
and the love of my life."
Puff! He's gone.
"OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager.
