- xcrunner1422, on 05/29/2008, -4/+163There is also the possiblity for the most massive server overload ever.
2 records in one, anyone? - tenspeedogbb, on 05/29/2008, -2/+139And to open source browsing for which it stands

- monarch00, on 05/29/2008, -6/+116Under Al Gore
- KC311Man, on 05/29/2008, -11/+99I saw only 381 pledges in the US and I knew it hadn't hit the front page of Digg yet! I was trying to submit the site. Glad someone else had the same idea!
- atb12688, on 05/29/2008, -1/+79Right so what should I do? Download the file on release day and drag it to trash?
- zerozidane, on 05/29/2008, -3/+77That was beautiful.
- iigloo, on 05/29/2008, -0/+73Yeah... 19 from North Korea? Who can that be? Kim Jong-il and his personal friends?
- wettestwillie, on 05/29/2008, -3/+73What's the current record to beat?
- gannondork, on 05/29/2008, -0/+57I'm sure once download day hits another story called "OMG it's download day, get firefox" will appear on digg with 5000 diggs.
- twiztidsinz, on 05/29/2008, -8/+56No fair getting the support of Canada's army
http://i30.tinypic.com/33bzh8o.jpg - TH3W1R3D, on 05/29/2008, -8/+55Sweet map, wish it was broken up by state too.
- dislexicllama, on 05/29/2008, -1/+47The official release, not beta
- jisrael, on 05/29/2008, -5/+50i threw down a pledge for The Gambia.
I don't live in The Gambia. - RogaDanar, on 05/29/2008, -1/+46I don't know what pendantic means, but he's being it.
- dakine42, on 05/29/2008, -3/+47Population of Canada: 33,390,141
Population of America: 301,139,947
According to cia.gov we are in for a challenge. - Exekutor, on 05/29/2008, -0/+43There's no record to beat. There's a record to be set.
from the FAQ:
Do we have to reach a specific number of downloads in order to set the record?
This is the first record attempt of its kind so there is no set number. We'd really like to outdo the number of Firefox 2 downloads on its launch day, which was 1.6 million. Let's shoot for 5 million--the sky is the limit! - GvnMcCld, on 05/29/2008, -0/+41...or that people can choose to pledge from whatever country they want.
- inactive, on 05/29/2008, -4/+45Only 4 committed so far from Cameroon and only 5 from Turkmenistan. What the hell are you people doing over there? You need to get your act together!
- sexybobo, on 05/29/2008, -1/+401 for every computer in north Korea.
- gannondork, on 05/29/2008, -0/+39Well then it should be easy to beat if the record is 0.
- foolishfool, on 05/29/2008, -0/+37Actaully those 6 pledges came from a zebra, giraffe, hippo, lion, and a few penguins.
- upchucknorris1, on 05/29/2008, -4/+41I, for one, welcome our new server overloads.
- inactive, on 05/29/2008, -4/+39"Why are you idiots digging him down?"
Because he's being ***** pedantic. - twiztidsinz, on 05/29/2008, -2/+34the Junta need to get their pr0n from somwhere
- StealthMonkey, on 05/29/2008, -13/+44USA! USA! USA!
- sidewinderaim9x, on 05/29/2008, -10/+41They have internet in Myanmar?
- Treshnell, on 05/29/2008, -8/+38Keep this on the front page until the day it happens so I'll remember....
- scairborn, on 05/29/2008, -25/+55U.S.A.! U.S.A.!
- inactive, on 05/29/2008, -4/+34Don't worry. I got this ;)
- inactive, on 05/29/2008, -0/+27There isn't any. I looked. No such thing.
- BorsKaegel, on 05/29/2008, -1/+26They will e-mail you a reminder, genius.
- miki00, on 05/29/2008, -13/+37go firefox3!!!!
- cledford, on 05/29/2008, -6/+30Should be an easy record to beat.
- gropo, on 05/29/2008, -0/+24"Canada quite possibly has the highest pledge to population ratio."
No way, all 20 citizens of Greenland have pledged. - koenn, on 05/29/2008, -1/+24Yeah, there are pledges for every country in Africa. Not sure how many of those are legit, though, as it asks you which country you live in when you pledge and really doesn't have a way to verify it.
- TheKingInYellow, on 05/29/2008, -3/+25final fantasy?
- Aerandir, on 05/29/2008, -2/+23***** *****?
- Ryan0617, on 05/29/2008, -0/+18I think it'll easily out do the FF2 release day. It has gained much more market share and more recognition.
- MacSuxWindozSux, on 05/29/2008, -6/+24Comparing Canada:
USA has 10x the population, but only 5.5x the votes.
United Kingdom has 2x the population, but only 1.08x the votes.
Germany has 3x the population, but only 1.73x the votes.
Canada quite possibly has the highest pledge to population ratio. - Aerandir, on 05/29/2008, -4/+21Only to see California with 98% of the pledges...
- jasondaemon, on 05/29/2008, -4/+21Heck... the RC1 is great... definitely getting this!
