Most people are still going to have to wait for the day when Clippy itself says "It looks like you're getting very frustrated with me. Would you like to turn me off?"
BitTorrent's downloads are fed by SourceForge, which makes it unlikely that any slashdotting will stop the downloads. However, some of the SF download mirrors have been quite slow recently, which could account for the problem (I'm getting 12-ish kilobytes per second on a cable modem.)
Fedora Core is not designed for ordinary users. Red Hat states on the Product Relationship page that it is intended for "early adopters, enthusiasts, [and] developers". The release cycle is supposed to be for those who want the latest version of everything and want it now, even if it might break some stuff.
Actually, there is a small tray icon that can be used to automatically download updates without using Internet Explorer, at least in XP. Go to Control Panel: System, and open the Automatic Updates tab. Then set the schedule to your own convenience.
It will automatically redirect you to the article if it exists, and use MediaWiki's search feature if it doesn't. It's more effective than the grandparent's method in some cases (compare 123, for example).
Sometimes up2date will crash because it is waiting for - ev - er for updates from the main Red Hat server, which, like most default-configuration servers, gets pummeled with requests. It is a better idea to use the mirrors, which are often much faster and more reliable.
Wait... if that was a standard rand() function, it either returns a minuscule amount of search results (0.00347) or a l-o-o-o-n-g time ("I waited 15 #$&%ing DAYS for this?!").
Slashdot Mirror
Reminds me of this Humorix story from a couple of days back:
http://humorix.org/articles/2004/10/plain-text/
Go to about:config, and change these values:
to "0.10.1". To test, go to about and check the user agent below "Firefox 0.10".
Actually, the red panda is referred to as a firefox.
Be glad they didn't program in Whitespace.
You may wish to look at this post in response to the parent's (correct) article link.
"TLA" is overloaded too. Do you mean two- or three-letter abbreviation? ;)

The shortest possible domain name is one letter plus a country code; p.ro, for example.
You can register at the Linux Counter and help people get an idea of how many users there are in the world.

I think using Wikipedia's search feature is the most effective:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?search=%s

The important part is "on May 18th". In other words, the article is talking about something that preceded the Dutch reversal.
The Dutch, instead of voting for software patents, have now abstained from that vote.

So it surely can't be that.
