GTalk hangs when winamp is playing

Google IM (GTlk) hangs/crashes if you use it with Winamp 5.5.

Firefox Download Day: Set a Guinness World Record Enjoy a Better Web

What is Download Day?

Download Day is Mozilla's attempt to set a world record for the most software downloads in 24 hours and will occur on Firefox 3 launch day.

When is Download Day?

Download Day will coincide with the general availability of Firefox 3. The clock will start ticking when Firefox 3 goes out the door! They don’t have a definitive date for Firefox 3 yet, but it should be in June.

How do I take part in the record?

It's simple--just download Firefox 3 as soon as it is available, preferably from Download Day Headquarters. You'll get a customized certificate by downloading from Headquarters.

How will I know it’s time to download Firefox 3?

Please provide your email address when pledging to download Firefox 3 and they'll send you reminder emails and notify you of the exact date. Or, you can check back at Download Day Headquarters for an update or follow "mozillafirefox" on Twitter for status.

Yes, I pledged to get Firefox 3 during Download Day to set the Guinness World Record for Most Software Downloaded in 24 Hours. :-)
