problem playing video DVD

Rented a DVD movie (the 3rd in the series Atlas Shrugged). It would not play with any media player (such as smplayer, vlc, Dragon Player, xine, totem, ... etc) No errors in /var/log/messages. I told the vendor, and they stuck it into a machine the "tests" it for playability. It took 5 second

how to set a wakealarm in F20

I would like to set a wakealarm so that my computer will boot up at a certain time. In researching this, all I have found includes altering the /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt, which is present if F19 but not in F20. I have not been able to find anything in systemd about doing this. Has any one been able
