Anne,
what breaks the dvd protection is libdvdcss (illegal in certain countries).
This is why in linux (or in windows, if you use vlc) there is no need of
setting any region in the dvd player.
However, the MPAA (http://www.mpaa.org/) has financed a long battle, since
the source code appeared
on the net.
If you like to know the whole history, then check for instance, this link
(despite of the name, it is just a magazine):

Blocking Spam
by Todd Simi
Hi,
I'm getting spammed to death. I'm running sendmail and ClamAV.
Is there a way of filtering mail by keyword? I seem to get
a few particular emails from different sources, but they are
all the same messages.
Thanks

FC6 epiphany weirdness
by Beartooth
Epiphany suddenly wouldn't launch. I got a notice on the panel for a
little while, then that went away.
I hit it with the big hammer : yum remove epiphany, followed immediately
by yum install epiphany epiphany-extensions. (It had removed the
extensions on the first command.)
It still won't launch.
I tried this :
[btth@localhost ~]$ epiphany &
[1] 2017
[btth@localhost ~]$
** (epiphany:2017): WARNING **: An error occured while calling remote
method:
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote
application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked
the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
Whussup? What should I do about it?

What is $Microsoft doing now ??
by Jim
I forwarded two emails using Thunderbird to the email addresses below, along with a number of other people, that went through.
I went to postmaster.msn.com and could not find, Reason 550 Command.
All that was in the email was a Link to
*http://patriotfiles.org/civilizationcalls.htm**
*
What is Msn pulling ?? is it they don't accept emails from Thunderbird ??
Jim
These email addresses are good email addresses.
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<larry(a)hotmail.com>
(reason: 550 Command rejected for policy reasons. For troubleshooting information, go to http://postmaster.msn.com)

FC6 desktop uses kmail?
by Frank Cox
I use Sylpheed for my email client. Among other slick things I can drag a
message off of my mail window and set it on my desktop for future reference.
(In this way I can use emails as a kind of a "sticky note".)
However, when I double-click on the message that I have put onto my desktop it
loads and opens up in kmail.
Why?

I think I had misread your original post saying that one drive had already
been failed out of the array. If not that may give you some more options.
If all of the drives are still in the array, all of the information to
recover the data exists. The issue is that the normal rebuild process probably
won't work because there are errors on two drives.
Before trying anything, but up anything you don't want to lose, if you
hadn't already.
What you might do is find out which blocks are bad (using smart self tests)
in the drive with 3 unreadable blocks and then save copies of the
corresponding blocks on the other drives so that you can manually recover
the data later. The self tests will stop on the first bad block they find.
So after each test you will need to get the block remapped. Try doing a
couple of reads with dd with iflag=direct and then if that doesn't work
do a direct write to the block.
Once the three blocks are cleared then you can fail out and remove the drive
with 48 unreadable sectors. Then add in the new drive and let the array
rebuild.
Then you should run badblocks on the drive with 48 unreadable sectors
and the smart self tests to see if the drive might be worth keeping.
(If you have already decided to toos the drive skip that part.)
Then you should probably fail out and remove the drive which previous had
3 unreadable sectors and run badblocks on it and run some smart selftests
to see if it looks worth keeping. (Again skip if you have already decided
to toss the drive.)
At this point you are running in degraded mode and you either want to add
one of the drives above back into the array, or go buy another replacement
drive.

Ann,
when faac and faad2 were upgraded to version 2.5, they broke
ffmpeg. Therefore, you will need a new version of it.
In my opinion, there are only two places to get quality audio and
video rpms: ATrpms and freshrpms.
Choose one of them and update your packages.
