So on June 17 Mozilla is trying to make the geekiest Gueness World Record, most downloads in 24 hours to promote Firefox 3. I'll be there, will you?

I'll just have a free Guiness, thanks... :)

So is that my June 17 or your June 17?

Their website is overloaded... Doesn't even load the graphics for me, download doesn't work. I'd think they would have bought several new servers and spread the load over them...
