Insecurity usually goes further than that. For instance, a friend of mine recently went to a fairly popular local place(name withheld to protect the innocent), and found that the wireless router still had the default password. She didn't do anything particularly nefarious, but a less scrupulous person easily could have.
So maybe, just maybe, he was asking if Fedora's devs have fixed it in this release? After all, looking at the GP, it could just as easily have been meant for linux distros in general.
Step 1: Create a service that does something which needs a password hash
Step 2: Get a bunch of bored slashdotters to post their password hashes, and log their IPs
Step 3: Crack the hashes, keep the passwords
Step 4: h4xx0r!
If it's a production server that you can't afford to even reboot, maybe you shouldn't be giving the root password to some random website. Just a thought.
Personally, I think it would be better if they released an app that does this. Making you post it to the website just screams "harvester!"
Probably just your bad luck, since my Seagate drive has been running reliably for about 3 years now. (Though, looking back at your numbers, maybe it's my good luck.)
Actually, i've heard that jobs outsourced to India are being re-outsourced to the Phillippines, etc. Too lazy to back this up, but I CAN promise +5 informative to the first (and second, and maybe third) person who can.
What gives Intel or anybody the right to stop you from overclocking it? It is yoiur property, after all.

Look, if you're going to measure your intelligence against the three or four idiots in your class, most people are going to be unusually intelligent. Measure yourself against the smarter ones, instead, since they're the ones you'll be competing directly with later on.
Also, if you're too damn lazy to do your homework, all the intelligence in the world isn't going to help you. I learned (and am still learning) this the hard way.

I'm sure they meant GigaBytes. But hey, it's not that big a mistake. They were only off by a factor of A MILLION. No big deal.

I believe porthole was mentioned here a few days ago. Link
I don't see how this is a solution, except for your communities. After all, if the Brazilians all do this, then you've got the exact same problem.
grep -v "^#" would work better for filtering comments. (Only filters the lines that start with #.)
Great. My system has dropped off of the bottom of the low end of the chart. Upgrade time!
Well, given how seriously people take their editors here, that actually IS flamebait.
The reverse is also true, as potential kidnappers could use the system to find kids that are walking alone, etc...the possibilities are scary.

Well, according to this, "goatse" is now the most popular password in the world.

Umm...How would that work, exactly? Mind-control? Prozac? The hurting-and-killing-people impulse is deeply ingrained in humanity.

Given how much of America's coding is done in India, it just might have some impact.
You put your source code in,
You take some coders out,
They put some patches in,
And, you distribute it out.
You change your stance on source code,
and you turn yourself about,
That's what it's all about!
For that matter, why White Water? Why not just use BitTorrent(for which several clients are in portage) like everybody else?
Who modded this flamebait up? Give me one example of a psychologist letting a rapist go free. Just one. I dare you.
How can it be stronger than the internet when it's built on the internet? Surely you mean the web, and other various protocols.

And by doing so, he doubled the local population. There goes the neighborhood.
I think, that with Java in your username, you're pretty biased TOWARDS java. But that's just me.
Disclaimer: I actually rather like java.
