I also dislike the fact that they but a huge video on there. Instead of putting up bigger links to e.g. their guided tour https://www.dropbox.com/tour (which also contains a video, but one doesn't have to view it to follow the tour). Or the features page -- both links are the bottom.

So, while I agree that they should be a lot bigger and more prominent, I'd like to point out that these are not *that* hard to find ;)

Or, you could just take the guided tour https://www.dropbox.com/tour the DropBox site offers (which also contains a video, but one doesn't have to view it to follow the tour).

Deleted all cookies, it still crashes. Best way to trigger it is to go to that site, and then follow internal links, and scroll a lot, while they are loading. I.e. click on a link and start wildly to scroll up and down (works nicely using my MacBook Pro's touchpad). Last crash involved WebCore::BitmapImage::draw.

Yes, scrolling seems to be involved for me, too. And I submitted a couple dozen crash reports already, hopefully they can figure it out :)

No extensions installed at all! Yes, I do have some math fonts (used by jsMath) installed. However, no such problems occur with Firefox and Chrome. So while I of course can't exclude the possibility that a font is corrupt, it seems strange that Chrome (which also uses Webkit) is not affected... Also weird is that I get quite some different stack traces. But several of them seem to be related to cookie storage (stack trace contains among other things MemoryCookies::~MemoryCookies and DiskCookieStorage::syncStorageLocked). I'll try deleting all cookies. Weird.

I was quite excited when I saw this and went to get it. Now I have it for half an hour and already regret it -- it already crashes over a dozen times on me -- albeit always on the same page, just at different points (and with different crash stack backtraces, too). Specifically, http://terrytao.wordpress.com/ is where I see those. Anybody else having similar problems?

What about the rights of the children? I don't think that parents "own" their children, and should be allowed to do with them in whatever way they want. Sure, parents should take care of their kids until they are old enough to really make well-informed own decisions.

The idea behind enforcing that all children are sent to a school (which by the way, includes many alternate school forms, not just the regular state schools, as many people here claim incorrectly) is that this way, all kids are ensured a chance to get suitable education. And moreover, to have a chance to learn how to socialize with other people, too. To learn to live with people who have different believes and opinions side by side, and respect them. In my class, there were christians, atheists, muslims. I grew up knowing that there are many different kinds of people out there, and that yet they are (mostly ;) normal people you can have great fun with and like. Not enemies, as many religions paint any non-believers, sadly.

Maybe the current way of forcing all kids in Germany to visit some kind of school is not the best. But then I also don't believe that allowing parents to isolate their children and to indoctrinate them is a good idea, either -- no matter whether it is orthodox Christianity, radical Islam, zealous Science-believe, or the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. The foundation of a democracy is mutual understanding and a willingness to cooperate with each other, and I feel that's more important than granting a universal home schooling right, with all its pros and cons.

Wait, we are talking about somebody who has "disappeared" a year ago; only he hasn't really disappeared, he occasionally showed up for meetings, making promises, then vanished again (and didn't keep the promises). How would this be explained or justified by a hypothetical medical situation? Even if there was one, then shouldn't he have said months ago "Hey folks, I am in some sort of bad situation, somebody needs to take over my responsibilities while I try to resolve things." ? Nope, I think what they did was very reasonable; although maybe they should have done it a couple months earlier.
