Mozilla Outage On Firefox 3 Record Launch Day 427

Kolargol00 writes "An outage affected the Mozilla.com website on the day the organisation launched its Guinness World Record attempt for downloads of the new Firefox 3 browser. The mozilla.com site was unreachable from around the world, occasionally responding with the message, 'Http/1.1 Service Unavailable.'" Since they decided to run their day from 1pm to 1pm Eastern time, the download day is actually still going, so you can still get Firefox and be part of the record.

Actually I do get it and I'm a fan of Martin Fowler's books. As a writer of "Enterprise Applications" myself I'm just frustrated that the database manufacturers have not caught up with the programming manufactures. We have powerful OO programming languages but we have to translate objects to rows of data to store in a table! That is so last century.

Why do we have to make it hard on ourselves, surely creating code in an object oriented programming language and storing the data in an object oriented database is much simpler than using a relational database?
